Except for the fact she should have done that exact same thing right away instead of losing half of their escape pods.

This was my problem with the movie. I thought it was good overall, and had a lot of things going for it, but man was there a lot of stupid shit. The casino scene was completely unnecessary and added 20 mins. Leia's bullshit flying thing was also stupid- either kill her off or have it be more reasonable, like shielding herself with the force as opposed to flying around like a bullshit magical Star Wars version of Star Lord. Luke's character arc was fine by me, but why the fuck did he milk some magical fatass with 4 tits? What was going on with the Force skype shit? Why was Finn turned from a great character into a sideshow? Why did Poe decide to become a jackass out of nowhere? Why didn't Laura Dern's character explain the plan as opposed to staying mum when Poe was mouthing off?

Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but a quality control assistant would have been cause for much rejoicing.

I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. It was about what i expected. Bad acting, cool effects, a couple things that make no sense, but a plot that generally holds your interest. I still like Poe and Finn, and I think Rey's pretty cool for a forced heroine.

But most of those impressions are holdovers from VII, nothing happened in VIII that made any of them particularly more interesting or likeable.

I did like a few things about the film:

Rey's not a Skywalker, or anybody important at all. I thought for sure she was going to be Luke's kid or at least related to them somehow.
Ren turning evil after killing Snoke/wiping out the red storm stooper doods.
Benicio selling them out. Honestly I liked everything Benicio did.
Snoke being the one who set up the force bridging shit, and showing what a sucker Rey was.

Everything with Leia was bad, especially the floating through the air shit. Kylo's way more impressive with the mask on, taking it off for the entirety was a terrible way to move away from the Vader comps. Every sith lord in the entire series is either completely badass looking or old and decrepit. Then we get emo Ren.

It was more bad than good but I'm sure I'll watch it again (though not in theaters) and see the next one, too.

I agree. If I could wear that mask around all day to intimidate people I'd never take it off.

Unless your mask just makes you look like Nazi Squidward

Some little ladies sure do get they're panties in a wad because somebody makes a Star Wars movie that doesn't conform to they're fanboi expectations

agree completely with how benign Rey was...not a leading character at all. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

As for Leia, I fucking laughed during that scene where she was yelling instructions like a high powered leader...however, she looked and sounded like a raspy voiced, beaten down old drunkard who had smoked 10 packs of cigs and whose body was on its last legs... oh wait.

Apt reaction to pretty much the entire series, much less so for the sequels.

Lot of folks here don't think it was anything special I guess

I expected it to be bad.

It was bad and the plot had more holes than Pellum's defense.
