I'm not a big Darth[1] Emo fan, but I did like the lightsaber. It's not silly lightsaber escalation, it's Ren doing something different - like holding the blaster bolt in mid-air.
[1] Interesting thing: Ren appears not to be a Darth. There appears to be various chatter on the internet about Ren and Snoke not being Sith; as in, not identifying as Sith and not carrying on the Sith customs, but still being dark-side Force users. I suspect, given that Ren has some training to complete, that this matter will end up being explored in depth in future episodes.
