Yes, but the whole point is that all the lead characters fail in this film, just like Luke fails against Vader, and Han is captured and carbonated in TESB. Rey, however, is seen to be so powerful she doesn't need training from Luke, or anyone for that matter, she appears roughly equal to Kylo Ren in skill in the throne room fight, and she rescues everyone at the end. She gets plenty of talking up, and most of the best scenes in the film. Honestly, if it wasn't for her storyline I'd have fallen asleep in the theatre.
