I hated it from the start...

Personally, I think it's because people are starting to realize that the initial hype they felt at the time might've been a bit too "forced"...

No joke though, I gave it a legitimate, personal, and opinionated score of zero out of ten. That's how much I despised that film.

You will never have everyone agree on a piece of art, even films. Best thing to do is not worry about it and try to enjoy what you like.

I just would have thought TFA did a lot right as oppose to the first three SW movies.

And yet there are people who think the prequels were great movies. See? Can't please everyone. Besides, it'd be a boring world if everyone had the same opinions.

Although the prequels themselves were horrible, I can't deny that they spoke to me in a personal way when I saw them.

Yeah... I like the prequels a lot more than the force awakens. That's my final opinion on the matter.

I know that this is off-topic but... I don't care.

Some people felt it used too many of the same plot points as Episode 4, which I role my eyes at, as the prequels did it a lot as well, and that's like the one thing I never hear them get crap for.

Some people write Rey off as a Mary Sue, which she kinda is, but I still thought she was likeable, and Daisy Ridley did a good job playing her.

Some also think Kylo Ren was a poor villain, citing his unmasking as disappointing, I thought it was clever, Vader underneath was a broken old man, Kylo was a torn young man. Or that he was simply too weak, despite putting up a great fight after a fatal wound, and Rey only winning because she let the Force guide her

I didn't hate Force Awakens, and most of the hate I've seen for it is for the most part exaggerated. I can, however, emphasize with the bulk of complaints entirely. For a Star Wars film, it came off as rather underwhelming. It relied far too much on the prospect of a sequel to answer every question it raised, and didn't have a lot of original elements.

When you consider that Disney wiped the Expanded Universe off the face of the earth to make way for new creative forces, many Star Wars fans expected them to deliver something substantial to act as its replacement. Force Awakens didn't deliver. None of the new SW comics or novels have delivered.

In short, DISNEY hasn't delivered. As it stands, their direction of the franchise isn't bad, it just doesn't have much going for it.

Wait what do you mean expanded universe?
