This movie was whiplash in the worst way. Let's somehow take all the things people didn't like in the last movie and take them in the exact opposite direction so fans are happy. Amd that's all this movie felt like, a last ditch effort to just throw in things fan will like in order to save the series. I honestly would have preferred some continuity and things making sense over what felt like fan fiction. Rey and Finn, but now Finn and Rose, and now Finn and some random new chick? Then there seems to be chemistry between Rey and Poe and just as that builds let's add a past lover as a completely unrequited ridiculous love interest to halt that in its tracks. And just for good measure let's add a kiss with Ben to please the fans. It was just all over the place and I really wanted to like it because I love Star Wars. I stuck by the first movie despite its problems. I even stuck my the second movie despite its ruining of Luke and yet I just can't seem to do it anymore. I really wish we could just rewrite this and hit redo.
