No one is interested in having a constructive conversation about it, really.
It's people pointing out major things wrong with the plot and development of the movie.
Then it's been a bunch of guys going "Ah, it's just Star Wars, it's just a dumb fun movie, have some fun!" That seems to have become the main defense for the movie, really.
And... that's it.
I'm sorry I expect something a little more provocative and interesting from Star Wars. It's a franchise I hold to high standard of quality (that it often fails, unfortunately). But to imply that people who didn't like it are just negative killjoys because they actually care about the story and characters and don't just want a stupid movie with spaceships and sword fights is ridiculous. You might not care about Star Wars, but, regardless of the logic behind it, there are lots of people who do. And yes, maybe I was making a not-so-subtle dig that a person who enjoyed it also seemed to be paying very little attention to it. Sue me.
