    "Kylo Ren is the weakest villain in Star Wars history. He was weak. He was easily manipulated. He couldn't beat a girl in saber combat who just picked it up an hour before. And I HATE TO SAY THIS because my hopes were so high for Adam Driver, but he was not intimidating or even interesting on screen. He easily had the weakest performance. When he spoke without his mask for the first time, half of the theater laughed at how nasaly and nerdy he was."

    So this wasn't an isolated incident that only happend in the theater I was in. Interesting.

      Editing … No one laughed, but then again I was at a press release. I thought Driver was fine, maybe the weak link, but fine.

      Editing … I got the impression that Kylo wasn't supposed to be a badass, and that the entire Order was meant to be perceived as "the wannabes" that could never match The Empire or Lord Vader

      Editing … Lucas is a worse director than J.J. That's not saying much, but Lucas is the definition of a hack.

      Editing … Let's take a quick peek into their filmography. The only thing that Lucas has directed well was American Graffiti, and even that wasn't anything special. A New Hope is a really good movie, but it's not good thanks to the direction, and the prequel movies are actually some of the most horribly paced and directed movies known to mankind. His first big movie, THX 1138 wasn't a mastepiece of directing either. It's a bit shoddy if anything.

      Editing … Now J.J. is not a godlike director, but if you are trying to say that the pilot episodes of Lost aren't well directed, you are full of shit. The Star Trek films are all flash, but at least it has his handmark on them. And his movies always know what they are and where they are going, even though they are not into my liking. Now if we really want to pit Lucas and J.J, we should talk about writing original material.

      Editing … All I know is that I'd rather rewatch THX 1138, American Graffitti and A New Hope than the Star Trek reboot, Super 8 and Force Awakens any day of the week.

      Editing … Me too, with the exception of TFA>THX 1138, but it's not because of direction. I'm not saying that his movies are bad, but he is not a good director.
