Maybe it's just my mood right now, but it just feels so.. off.

It really is a steaming pile of shit. I'm a big star wars fan, and had really high hopes. But this movie was just a complete mess. The movie seemed to take a weird painful pleasure in taking long running star wars characters/ideals/canon and inserting a mess of character motivation to acknowledge that. When Rose saved Finn from crashing into the big laser machine, all I could think was "You dumb ****er, you just sacrificed the lives of all the people back in the base. Dumb greedy bitch."
