Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Frankmartinez1 — 15 Feb 2016

I'd like to talk about Kylo Ren in this review. Ren could very well be the most interesting character to emerge from the Star Wars mythology. Beautifully portrayed by Adam Driver, here we have a young man desperately trying to live up to his Grandfather's legacy, and failing.

Many fans have criticised Ren for being too 'weak', and that his appearance under the mask not intimidating enough. This seems to me to be an immature assessment of the character. These weaknesses and failures are the reasons Ren is so great - not as a leader or warrior, but as an character I want to watch unfold.

And why his journey throughout the planned trilogy will be so utterly fascinating.
