I am not pleased. Hate is a strong word, and I didn't hate the movie. But I am definitely more than just underwhelmed. I'll have a sleep but my initial thoughts about the bad stuff because I need to vent:
Too much time on Finn and Rose for what was a pretty inconsequential storyline.
Not enough time on the Luke/Rey and Kylo/Rey storylines. Some really, really good stuff there that was rushed. It was right there, and more focus on that could have turned the movie into something really special. But wasn't given enough time to really carry the movie.
A lot of jumping around for a movie that had only two spheres of action for most of it. Another problem of the Finn/Rose storyline.
Snoke it turns out isn't really a big deal or a main plotline. We didn't learn anything about him, what he learned doesn't matter. A whole lot of 'meh' there.
But the worst thing I've ever seen in any Star Wars movie has got to be Leia force flying through space back to the ship. I was completely dumbfounded when that happened.
