Honestly, I’ve consistently tried to criticise the plot of TFA, but in my honest opinion its just so intrinsicly right, everything is just, right, for me. I don’t know how to explain it other than for me, it makes perfect sense.

Nobody here, however, is saying it cannot be improved upon with a bit of tinkering…

Literally the only significant problem I can find in the ENTIRE movie, is that the more I think and research, the more it seems like they’ve mirrored episode 4 too much. When LordHaseo said this for example, Rey desperately wants to be reunited with her family and at this point in borders on denial and when she touches Luke’s lighsaber and has her vision she wants no part in it largely because she was terrified of Kylo Ren. I immediately thought of Luke and how at first he too didn’t want to leave, which I had even forgot about. The point being is that this in particular is totally unnecessary. She could have a different but equally valid reason to stay. The thinking here to me is a little closed. And the “it’ll be explained in the later movies” excuse does not hold, it needs to be a movie in its own right (character-wise, plot wise its sound), just like A New Hope was. This was the only other problem I had with the film. It’s probably the poorest if you’re new to the franchise, with the possible exception of Ep 1 or 2.

But other than that, and especially these surging criticisms of the film-making, cinematography, score (say what you want, I adored it), or consistently dull lines? Honestly. It’s just invalid.
