The new characters were all likable and the acting was much better than the prequels.  Even when Kylo Ren was throwing a temper tantrum, it didn't grate on my nerves like Jar Jar did. I think for me the biggest part that I didn't like was just the idea that Han and Leia would have a kid that turned to the dark side. The history of the series seems to show that this happens all the time, but when it was first discussed in the original trilogy, you had the sense that it was a rare and unfortunate thing that happened to Anakin and the results of this were so bad that it basically shaped the entire galaxy. Then the prequels came out and it showed it happening not just to Anakin but also to Count Dooku. Repeating it yet again makes you want to simply warn everyone you know and love away from ever using or learning about The Force. The force is bad, mkay. I thought the acting was great with a few small exceptions. I didn't like the beginning where FIN was in storm trooper armor. For me, it felt like he had to overact to convey his conflicted emotions while wearing armor. I thought Vader did a better job of this within ROTJ while still wearing a helmet. Outside of the armor, he was excellent. Rey was awesome. Han was good, as usual. Leia doesn't seem like her face can move anymore and I found her hard to watch this time around.The blending of the CGI and the special effects was very well done. The story didn't try to explain everything in one go and there were no horrendous exposition like they did with midichlorians in Phantom.</blockquote>
