Yeah pretty much, he's just a relatively safe film maker for me really devoid of true inspiration or ambition, sadly these days that doesn't seem to be any barrier to having a career that runs right to the top.
Besides being devoid of originality and lacking strong character stories TFA for me was also played in a rather cartoonish fashion tone wise and visually was lacking the subtley of the originals or Rogue One, Abrams eye is about as subtle as a sledgehammer much of the time.
To be fair I think if Johnson does a good job with the next film he might well have more to work with giving us a better result than TFA yet I simply don't think the man is capable of creating great cinema.
Well I hope he heard all the jokes and complains on the movie and he will have some ambition inside to show us he can do better.
Then again the dude has a movie with over 2 bill cash intake, number 2 across all time, he could very well think he is the man and haters gonna hate.. look what happened with this Colin guy, the my shit don't stink approach seem to be something very human for someone having great success in his field.
