I think part of the problem with Ren is that he's not entirely all bad. He's talking to the burnt husk of Grandpa's mask to please help him... that he feels the light coming back.
I think that's the cause of a lot of him coming across the way he is. He's got these internal struggles that are outwardly manifesting at odd times. He felt totally in control in the beginning because he had all his badass Storm Troopers and Captain Phasma with him and he's after just an old man.
But later on, he's struggling feeling his dad nearby, feeling "the light" creeping in. And I think THAT internal struggle is why we got the stupid temper tantrum in the control room vs. force-choking the shit out of Hux. He definitely isn't a good movie heavy. I don't think we really had one in Ep VII.
I think that now that he's killed his dad, we will probably have a way more bad ass Ren for Ep VIII. Plus maybe he'll train with Snoke between now and then.
