Sad to see negativity on this forum. Like its a YouTube comment section. She's young and new to the entertainment industry, but people expect her to be Meryl Streep or something. People complain about having the same old actresses get parts but when someone new comes along they're quick to reject her. I think she's a great young talent
shareI don't dislike her, I just hated how they wrote her character. I think she did the best she could with the material.
shareI also agree that all of my issues with Rey is the way her character is written, I will say her performance was less cringe worthy in TLJ and that very well could be due to a change in the director.
But what I don't like about her is her saying that the "Mary Sue label is sexist", there have been plenty of strong female characters in cinema before that no one ever complained about because their characters were well written. And before anyone says it yes that term can be applied to a male, my point: In the first 3 Harry Potter films Harry was very much a Mary or Marty or Gary S(t)ue or whatever, it wasn't until the 4th entry that he actually had to face some legitimate challenges and didn't come out on top.
With Leia and Padme I understood who they were and what they valued and that didn't need to be recited to me, I could figure it out by the characters actions, Rey on the other hand has the personality of cardboard.
According to well established anthropological studies...
They dislike that their favourite fantasy was changed... Instead of being eternal boys in space with their pet chewbaca and hanging out with their cool uncle/older cousin, now they have to be little-goody-two-shoes and girls...
It ruined their fantasy, so they took it out on her, as not blaiming the owners still gives them a new hope (pun slightly intended) that their fantasy will be salvaged... and it was, so you'll see them come aroudn to accepting her... especially as she becomes more of a woman, rather than just a girl... They can't resist a pretty face ;)
Oh, there are some fans who will continue hating Rey no matter what. Personally, I think they only love Star Wars because the original films had a male virgin as the protagonist, they're never going to come around to supporting Rey.
Fortunately, they're irrelevant. Disney isn't going to pander to them, they just aren't an economic force.
I love her too. Peoples hates her because she's in Star Wars, and for some reason its cool to hate Star Wars.
sharePeople dislike her because her acting is rubbish, sounds flat no emotion. She looks awkward when she runs too.
share“She looks awkward when she runs too.“
Yeah that’s a totally legit reason to dislike someone.
I doubt that I would find anything to criticize about her technique, but I would still love to watch Daisy pump those legs all day long. And night, And the morning after. And perhaps a couple times after we enjoy a late lunch together...
shareIf late breakfast is called brunch, should late lunch be called... lunner?
shareIt's a reason yes. She looks uncoordinated. Body language conveys character. Her acting is wooden too, all montone with no emotion. You pit her up agaisnt Felicity Jones or Natalie Portman she pales in comparison.
shareRey is great, Daisy is great.
There might be some folks that find her acting skills legitimately poor. Although, you can bet most of this hate exists because the character she is known for playing is a so-called Mary Sue (the ultimate). So she plays a girl with an F you attitude and despite the (probable) fact that she previously never showed to have any abilities, she suddenly possesses the force like a real Jedi warrior? You darn millennials... How dare you insult our manhood like that! 😆
In any case, I can’t wait to see more of Daisy. Apart from Rey, I really enjoyed her in Murder on the Orient Express.
I legitimately think her acting is bad. Not because of her attitude or character although i could criticize that too. It's her delivery. Her lack of empathy and abilty to convey emotion. She has absolutely nothing to give this role.

I don't hate her, she is probably the best of the new cast members, but TFA is the only film I have really noticed her in and she doesn't show a lot of range in it. It may be different in the TLJ and other films she has done but I have not seen them.
shareI love her too.
