[sp]people are forgetting that kylo is an extremely powerful force user just because hes related to skywalker's bloodline, but his actual saber combat skills are absolute trash. He never finished his training, and its apparent when even Rey who is not proficient in actual regular saber combat can defeat him (Thats why im hoping to fucking god Rey gets a double sided saber to match her skills with a staff). Kylo overall is basically a dropout because he thinks hes better/ready.[/sp]
If you guys are getting this nitpicky about everything why didn't [sp]Kylo Ren just fucking force freeze her instantly and stab her trachea with his lightsaber?[/sp]
This is why you cant get this nitpicky, it's just a damn adventure movie. Just let go on reality for a few hours and enjoy something.

Most of my nitpicks are honestly missing details and things done a little too fast for their own good, and at times the latter is forgivable since you have two and a half hours per movie on average to get across all the details you really need. Not even angry about [sp]the movie basically being a reformulated 'next generation A New Hope'.[/sp]

Pride.
Plus it wouldn't make for a good scene.

[sp]A good point, which I realized watching it again today in 2D. A polearm is no sword, though, and I don't think I said anywhere that it was totally unacceptable that she won.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I wasn't really referring to you specifically, more making a general observation about something i've seen many people saying

I kinda already did complain about that, though.

I think he's quite weak, actually. Bossing around non-force sensitives and stopping a blaster bolt in mid-air aren't as impressive when you realize[sp]He's easily beaten in a mind-reading duel by someone who has only known the force for a day.[/sp] I assume he has great potential but poor skills in the mental aspect of using The Force and only rudimentary lightsaber training. I'd say he's on par with the average Jedi Knight.

[sp]He couldn't read her mind once she began using the force, what makes you think he could knock her out?[/sp]
