What's with the hate? (mostly spoiler free, skip point two if you don't want any)

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2017)

I loved this movie. I don't get why its so divisive.
Let's look at the main criticisms, shall we?
1. "Rey's a Mary Sue." They explain this in the movie. It's still a little far fetched, but not anywhere near as bad as people are saying. In fact, I think that, if anything, Rey's too week here. Despite being seemingly powerful, she doesn't really do much force-related stuff. Also, she doesn't go off having "perfected the art of the force." She's still inexperienced at the end, and only left to save Ben Solo.
2. "Snoke goes out pathetically." That was the whole point! They have chosen to make Kylo Ren the villain of the next movie. I really can't say anything except that people are complaining over nothing.
3. "Too much forced humor!" Didn't notice nearly as much as people claim, and even then most of it isn't that in-your-face.
4. "Too much forced commentary!" Again, nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be. Yes it exists, and yes, its pretty obvious, but it isn't shoved in your face that much (it's obvious, but it's in the background), and it's only in one or two scenes.
5. "The subplot is an unnecessary plothole!" Technically, this is correct, but it still works. I personally enjoyed the side characters (except for Benicio Del Toro's character, who has so little screen-time they forgot to give him a name), and the subplot isn't that bad, it's just unnecessary. Why is everyone making a big deal over it?
In conclusion, people are overreacting. It's a flawed movie, but why is everyone calling it things like "The Worst Star Wars Movie Yet" or "A Betrayal to the Legacy?" It isn't those things, it is simply a mostly good movie that has some flaws. Does it completely live up to its critical acclaim? I wouldn't say it's quite that good. But I certainly would not say it deserves a one star rating. If you think this movie sucks, than just quit complaining and make your own movie.
