I saw Interstellar on the weekend, man it sucked. So many plot holes, physics fails and scenes and story that was excessively dragged out. Reminded me of Gravity (but not 'quite' as bad). It seems they took multiple movie plots and slammed them together without much thought to how it would work.

Like what?

Not going to go into them all, but some of the obvious fails and plot holes.

a planet with waves of that height would have such massive tidal forces at play that it would tear the planet apart.

This is not true. http://ikjyotsinghkohli24.wordpress.com/2014/11/07/on-the-science-of-interstellar/

Why the hell was mann trying to kill them and steal the ship. Once at the planet all he had to do was say, oops I lied, now they have to go to the next planet with him, completely idiotic story line.

He was mentally unstable. That is all that needs to be said. 

how could they possibly even approach the event horizon of a black hole, they would have been completely crushed by the gravitational forces long before getting even close let alone try to cross the event horizon and send signals out.

The black hole was 100 million times more massive than the sun and rotating. Tidal forces are not that simple in this case. Remember, tidal forces are caused by potential differences. It is very well possible that the potential difference at the event horizon (which is a mathematical boundary, not a physical object) is stable enough to not be torn apart, especially for a rotating supermassive black-hole. Physicists even speculate that there are ultramassive black-holes with entire solar-systems located passed their inner event horizons (kerr black holes have two event horizons) with stable orbits.
