A lot of people do hate this movie for the sole reason that it has a female protagonist, so take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. To the contrary, I thought Rey was the only bearable aspect of the movie. She was a cool and realistic character.
I can't say the same about the rest of the movie. It was... painfully dull. Everything merged together into one big "Christ I want to go home, did I really pay to see this in the cinema" soup. It lacks soul in any form.
The only moment I remember was the kiss between Ben and Rey: their "romance" was horrifically bland yet managed to come out of nowhere (chemistry? Where?). A remarkable achievement, though not a positive one.
Don't see this movie. Don't give them your money. I lost two hours watching it, and I will never get that time back - think of all the delicious cakes I could've baked, instead of wasting my time on this uninspiring mess of a film. Even a Victoria sponge would have more flavour than ROTSW.
