I thought it was such a ham fisted way to make Poe the awesome hero of the trilogy, instead it just enforced that the First Order kind of sucked at combat.
Just like the scene in the TLJ where Poe on his own stripped the dreadnought of all of its guns.
At this point frankly, there's no menace to the first order because they tend to lose every battle. You can point to the final ground battle as an overwhelming loss, but the resistance didn't lose anyone, the battleplan was we're going to knock out the front door and not worry about there possibly being a back entrance so maybe we should look for that.
There is never a great good guy without a villain to make him great. In this case, Snoke and the First Order are so incompetent that they almost appear like the Empire in the Lego Star Wars series, there's no menace to it because they're just incompetent.

I tried to give it another chance last night, but didn't make it through the first battle scene. It felt more like they were making a parody of a Star Wars movie than an actual SW movie, except it wasn't funny.
