I loved the movie. I didn't mind that it had practically the same plot as A New Hope. It was still awesome. That X-Wings over the lake scene was beautiful! I do have some critiques though. First off, Kylo Ren looks stupid, mask on and mask off. With the mask on( Without the hood ) he looks like the Cobra Commander from GI Joe. Without the mask, he looks like sixteen year old girl that dyed a lion's mane black and stapled it to her head. Plus, he got defeated way too easily. I get that his training wasn't complete and that he was conflicted on the inside between the Dark side and the Light side, but compare that to Rey, who had only held a lightsaber for like fifteen minutes and used the Force half that amount of time. Another issue. Captain Phasma. She had the potential to be an awesome non-lightsaber villain that could cause trouble for the Resistance. Instead she got tackled by a walking carpet and then thrown into a trash compactor to become a little cube and shot out of Starkiller station like space shit. Yet another issue. Someone please explain to me why the First Order is powerful enough to take on the Republic, yet only the Resistance is fighting them? Does the Republic not give a shit that a faction has risen up that is similar to the Empire and has a mega weapon that is five times deadlier than the Death Star? Do they not have the military forces to stop them? And if that's the case, then why does the First Order waste their super weapon on attacking Republic systems? They're not a threat. They should've just saved the weapon for the resistance, and that way the station wouldn't be blown up when it's charging up its second shot. Another issue. Well actually this one is speculation. In the movie, it's revealed that the First Order storm troopers were genetically modified from birth to be loyal and deadly. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of that? Clone army. Who the hell is cloning storm troopers for the First Order? And who's genetic template are they using? Why are there female clones and male clones? Does that mean there are multiple genetic templates? Last issue. Not that I'm not happy he's alive, but how the hell did Fin survive? He got slashed across the back and on his shoulder. Burns like that kill people, as proven in the previous movies. Same goes for Kylo Ren. He got shot, and cut four times by a lightsaber. They're both lucky sonsabitches of you ask me....
