I really enjoyed the movie overall. I felt the script was a little poor at times/heavy handed, mainly how han and leia kept saying "our son" even though they both quite obviously knew who they would mean if they said "him". Incredibly nitpicky of me but w/e. I don't know why but I feel like they really downplayed Han's death and made it not seem like as big a deal as it should have been made out to be. Like Chewie literally just lost his best friend and Leia lost the father of her son, and all they did was a couple tears and a hug then it's back on the road. I really enjoyed the fact that Kylo actually showed his anger and took it out on shit with his lightsaber though. It's what I think Anakin would have done had he turned earlier/not been with Obi Wan so much, it felt like Kylo's character was a lot more like a young Anakin that Kylo really knew.
The casting was also on point as well, I really loved the casting of Finn and Rey, they seemed pretty much perfect from the start. With Kylo though it took me a few minutes after seeing him properly I genuinely liked him, they didn't give him any deformities/scars or w/e to alienate or dehumanize him. He just looks like a young guy that's in over his head. I think the fact that he is just a normal looking person will annoy people, they would have been expecting some sort of monster under the mask.
My two cents.
