So to start, it was a decent movie, I did like it. There were just several things I disliked. Some significantly more than others.
There was so much comedy.
[spoiler]there was a joke every like 5 minutes it felt like. I enjoy a laugh, but when the galaxy is about to get obliterated, I'd rather be gripping my seat, not laughing at the 25th witty crack...[/spoiler]
Kylo ren is a trained sith/Jedi or whatever
[spoiler]while he isn't a perfect force or lightsaber user by any means, he's definitely had to have had some training in swordplay. He fights 2 untrained people, and loses. Sure ray has used her staff which may simulate and she has the force, I don't by it but for this let's just say it slides. Finn, he has nothing. He was trained with blasters if anything. He holds his own against Ren and gets the little side beam into his shoulder for several seconds. He then retaliates with that same arm 2 swings later and beats Ren. Like is Kylo ren that bad? [/spoiler]
Rey just understands the force?
[spoiler]she doesn't know what the force is capaple of. She hasn't talked to anyone about it or had any training, yet decides to use a mind trick? OK so maybe the force told her to do that. Personally I don't buy it but it can slide I guess. But what about that point with kylo ren where she's on the cliff and just medicated for a minute. Kinda going back to my previous point, does he think she's just gonna give up? Kick her off or something! Its a solid 20 seconds of just standing![/spoiler]
A *gasp* THIRD death star?!
[spoiler]does not a single person in the empire have a new idea? And even so how could they have built a whole planet in secret? The resistance doesn't run the government or anything, and as far as we know the only threat is the first order. So shouldn't the resistance be tracking their movements?[/spoiler]
Smaller annoyances
[spoiler]in the father son scene, why are there NO handrails?[/spoiler]
[spoiler]captain phasma got so much publicity, and had as much screen time as luke[/spoiler]
[spoiler]if I remember correctly, every single new main character is either female or a minority. Just felt like Disney had to push diversity. Could just be my cisgender white male superiority though.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]no JAR JAR?!?![/spoiler]
[spoiler]kylo ren, removed his mask so early, loosing his intimidation factor[/spoiler]
If there's others I'll add them later. Also mention anything you noticed.
Please discuss these points I'd love to hear what you've got to say.

Finally other people who agree with me. Ion my understand why everyone says "best Star Wars movie IMO" It was ok at best. Felt like a rip off of new hope/ treasure planet and finding nemo Ball contains map that everyone wants Looking for main character who has a weird limb Must destroy Death Star
-
The comedy was great lmao. When Kyle ren was throwing a temper tantrum and the clones just went nope and walked back
-
Perhaps Episode VIII will have [i]two[/i] Death Stars this time
-
Kinda messed up that a stormtrooper with some weapon could kick his ass but he holds his own against kylo ren... But as an overall it was a great movie.

It was shit. RIP starwars

Absolute bs that kylo Ren even got hit by Rey and fin. He has the dark side and shows it, his anger should have made him stronger than darth vader but instead he is a total wimp. His tantrums are much stronger and much more forceful than anything vader did, and somehow he only force choked one guy?! He should have choked so many more people and been so much stronger. When facing rey he did not use a single force power against her, seriously you were trained in the dark side and are supposed to be the strongest sith there is and you can't beat a chick who literally just found out she has the force?! You have been training for years and before that you trained with Luke but you lose to this chick? Sure she may be the daughter of Luke and everything but Luke was weaker than vader (even though he beat him). The reason that Luke won against vader was because he started fighting with rage like a sith, and vader stopped trying because he didn't want to hurt his son so his powers were thinning. So taking that knowledge to this movie kylo Ren (who was so strong that he was able to kill his own father) should have absolutely demolished both Rey and Finn. The plot could have been the same if she took a few cuts and then the planet (why the hell did they name absolutely nothing in this movie!?) split open.

2/10 Too many minorities-IGN
-
Technically It's not a third Death Star It's a star killer (killing my bro in force unleashed) Yhea force was gey Sword fight eh
-
The First Order probably decided to take a page from the Empire's book on the handrail thing
-
I could not agree more, and Kylo's temper tantrums really irritated me
-
I loved it but I was also disappointed ;/ great story and all but Kylo was a pussy omg .. And the "real" story will start in the next episode ..
