Quit your whining

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2019)

Reading through all these reviews and seeing all the hatred spewing forth...
Like people complaining that the movie has people of different races and genders in it. It's set in the future - why wouldn't space have people of different genders and races? Why would it be all white people? That wouldn't make any sense.
I think a lot of people don't like seeing women be heroes... There's another reason a lot of people are complaining. But again, I just have to point out - it's set in the future. Why wouldn't women be heroes in the future?
People calling Rey a Mary Sue with no training... Kind of unfair. She has had training. She is more than just a normal Jedi. She's kind of special. I think people just can't stand the fact that she has a v-----. I really do think that's what all the whining is about. That she's female. And that's sad.
Apart from those things... Yes Disney is milking this for all its worth. But they're Disney - what did you expect?
Yes the plot in this movie was pretty terrible - but it was co-written by JJ Abrams, who gave us Lost. What did you expect?
The bad plot is why it got a 6 from me.
If Leia was Rey's mentor, their relationship should have been fleshed out more. And yeah I get why it wasn't - because Carrie Fisher died. Also, if you're going to have everyone in the resistance show up at the last minute to fight - you need to really build up the whole 'but everyone's too scared to come' thing. Because it kind of wasn't much of a surprise when everyone did come. And why did Ben have to die? That was really odd - he saves Rey then dies. Was that really necessary?
Apart from those things I was quite absorbed by the movie and I loved the first two so... If you didn't like it, well, all I can say is, welcome to the new order. It's not gonna change just cos you keep whining about it. Eventually you're gonna have to start accepting reality. Women, people of colour - we exist. Accept it. Stop whining about it. Big stupid babies.
