WARNING!! STAR WARS ROGUE ONE SPOILERS!!!!!!!
Yes it is, and that's part of it. Mostly it's the unrealistic nature of the film. I mean, if the rebels were that good (i.e. the final battle *rolls eyes*) then why didn't they just attack the death star? Clearly they could have with not only how resourceful and brilliant they were, but also with how incompetent and useless the imperials were.
In no way did I believe that the imperials could have taken control of the galaxy with their level of competence. Nor did I believe the rebels were struggling at any point.
It was just too unbelievable. In the words of Darth Vader "All too easy"
That's right (is it my post you read?) It took Luke Skywalker 3 films to develop the force power "mind control" (and even then, he used it wrong! lol) whereas in Star Wars 7, Rey figured it out in a few minutes.
Don't get me wrong, there were parts I thouroughly enjoyed as well (Moff Tarkin FTW, Darth Vader killing the rebels, the rebel ship crashing into the star destroyer and exploding as they were trying to escape) but there were far too many cliche and convenient and "they are the good guys, and THAT is why it's working" moments for me to enjoy it.
The first 3rd of the film was really good and I was thinking it might be different, but then they started stacking up the unrealism to a point where I was just baffled.
It is too bad.

is it with a female lead?
I hate hollywood promoting female leads and completely destroying the male centered films?
Have to give it a miss if that is the case. Cant stand female leads in every other film man.

But then all of a sudden the 'strong female lead tm' instantly got the powers without any practice or having to earn it because of girl power. :Z

That's too bad. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
