after seeing the movie last night, I can safely say I have no idea why people are up in arms about this movie. I thought it was awesome.

It's the SW community. It was going to be hated from it's very conception 



 

The people who dress up as movie characters, go to see the movies several times, buy the merchandise, etc were going to hate it regardless? And the people who will see it once, laugh and leave were going to love it? That's how I interpret your post.

I think I'm a SW fan and my initial plan was to walk in, overlook flaws, and love it. When I saw the critic scores, I was excited. When I saw the movie, I felt differently. I wasn't going for a movie that would change my life. I came for a fun movie that would make me smile and maybe make me reflect afterwards. Instead, I left with a feeling of "meh" combined with " that didn't make sense " and honestly, I felt a bit saddened. 

The movie is not perfect and people here have stated their issues, sometimes in great detail but I keep seeing " Star Wars fans are too picky " or "You guys just don't get it". So dismissive of opposing opinions. Some things bother some people more than others.
