Personally I don’t think there are anymore plot holes or “critters” than have always been in Star Wars lore.

Poe destroys a ships guns by himself? A barely trained Luke who never flew a ship out maneuvers Vader and pretty much single handedly destroys a Death Star.

A Monte Carlo type casino with Aliens from all over? No different than the Cantina in the original trilogy.

Snoke has no backstory? Neither did the emperor who was defeated in an even sillier way when Vader threw him down a shaft.

Luke character ruined? He has always been whiney and didn’t really listen to Yoda or Obi Wan’s teachings/warnings.

Star Wars has always been about suspending belief and about the characters - this movie is no different. Personally I just feel like the criticism this one is getting is because it doesn’t match what people have been hoping it was going to be after TFA or what they hoped the classic characters would be like. All the new era characters are being praised, even for those that disliked the movie.
