That's exactly what I was thinking during that scene as well. Definitely seemed like he was just toying with her emotions there just to get her to turn dark.
As for the rest of the movie, I really enjoyed it. It certainly had a few scenes that mirrored both Empire and Jedi a little bit, but overall I thought the writing was more original than VII, and I liked the new characters, planets, and creatures. I hope we'll be seeing more of Benicio Del Toro's character in the next movie, as I though his part was way too brief for an actor of that caliber.
The casino sequence was a lot of fun.
The lightspeed suicide attack was badass.
Leia using the force to get back to her ship after being blown out into space was beyond ridiculous, even for a Star Wars flick. That was the only scene that bugged me.
I loved what they did with Luke's story arc, and the Yoda scene was great. That scene was easily the most Star Wars-ey thing in the movie and I thought it worked great. And is it just me, or did they actually use a puppet for yoda? Sure looked that way.
John Williams' score was fantastic as always.
Not sure how I feel yet about Snoke's unexpected early death. Sure, I guess Kylo needed to kill him in order to completely turn dark and carry on Grandpa Vader's legacy. But I was hoping to get more of a back story on him.
