Like they are "supposed to"? How are they supposed to fight? Because I see two vastly different fighting styles between the original and the prequels. That Disney decided to go with Lucas's original intention rather is not a flaw of the film and doesn't make the duels "improper".
Except he did (he didn't even have the mask for the fight). And she was.
And when I watched the fight I was fully engaged with every swing and clapped, along with my audience, when Finn scored a hit against Ren.
And the Rey vs Ren fight was just totally fantastic, especially their bladelock with the camera looking up at them. When she won the audience went wild.
It was the best fight in Star Wars.

Oh, nice little strawman. That's why I specifically said Lucas's original intention. He envisioned lightsabers to be heavy weapons. He even wanted Mark to almost always wield it with two hands, despite the fact that Mark and the choreographers wanted to use the saber one handed at times.

Alright well, you be you and continue on with your Kylo Ren sucks brigade.I'll be over here thinking Kylo Ren is a greater villain than Darth Vader (most famous villain ever), comparable if not more powerful in the movie format, and already has the best fight in the franchise.

I think the force wielders should fight like they're supposed to. I'm not suggesting uber CGI but they completely ignored the progression we saw in PT. It definitely had good elements in the dueling scenes that the OT naturally couldn't provide. Kylo was f'ing slower than Gimli from LOTR.
"Supposed to"? GTFO man.
Honestly I didn't think there was much of a difference in terms of speed compared to the cartoons and movies. Kylo simply used his saber more as a heavy weapon with power attacks. Doesn't make him shit.
The fact that Ren could even stand up after taking a blast from Chewies cannon is extraordinary tbh.
