Come to think of it, J.J. Abrams’ movies have a tendency to be kind of dark and depressing, in addition to emphasizing big action sequences at the expense of the story, which were some pretty big complaints about MoS. I guess Abrams’ movies usually don’t have it as bad as Zack Snyder’s in that regard, but TRoS was more of a downer than I would’ve expected it to be.
