This sounds like a bunch of "film school" b.s. to me. I either like a movie, or I don't; I don't need graphs, pie charts, and a fracking PowerPoint presentation to make that determination.
Am I REALLY the only one disappointed with TFA?

Exactly. And oftentimes it's apparent to me that for some, when it comes to "JJ," it's a matter of wanting to find something to nitpick.

LOL! your response is actually almost word perfect!
Don't worry my post was a fractured quote from Dead Poet's Society, a great film!

Best response to all the complaining I've read yet!

There was no point to the original article to get, as most of the "40" plot holes the author described either didn't exist or were explained clearly in the film itself. No diaper soiling at all but thanks for setting me straight!
Sadly for me it's not the easily nitpicked parts many films contain that is the fatal flaw.

I'll disagree. There are plenty of plotholes (or whatever you might call them) in the film - as explained in the article and its follow-up. I loved the movie, it was fun and fantastic ride; but, just because I liked it a lot doesn't mean I'm blind to some of odder things going on it - whether it's a plothole, coincidences, inaccuracies or the liberties taken with it (especially with the use of the Force).
If you read the "rebuttal" to which you posted a link to - you can easily see that guy needs a diaper changed. His tirade was laughable and lack of maturity shined through.

Obviously, it bothered someone so much that they felt a need to write a whiney, name-calling diatribe about someone who had listed them in that the same author stated he loved and wrote another post giving 10 Reasons Why TFA was the best SW movie. Just because we like something, doesn't mean we can't ask questions, observe and point errors.
As stated in the follow-up to 40 Reasons - (20 More Plot Holes...): A lot of people reading "40 Unforgivable Plot Holes" wondered how one could love a film and also see its glaring deficiencies. And yet, to compare apples and oranges, just as being willing to see how America could improve is a prerequisite for living here intelligently, loving a movie means seeing it for what it is and it isn't. And when the movie at issue is set to be the most successful movie in the history of cinema, some good old-fashioned reflection is in order. Reflection is even more urgent when we have high-brow publications like The New Yorker writing of Abrams' poorly plotted film, "It's so adroitly wrought that lovers of the original may not even notice the skill."
As far as the diapers? I agree. Too bad the guy with the rebuttal needs his changed!
I agree and I also disagree that HP is news. It's more "news". None of those things listed were any of the problems I had with the movie. That stuff was just outright nitpicking. I also thought that Finn saying he was just a janitor was a joke. If not, then JJ is an idiot to think that they would waste Stormtroopers on sanitation. Finn thought it would be bad to tell them he was a Stormtrooper, even though the Rebellion was made up of a lot of deserters. As for Snoke being a giant, when I saw the movie I just kept thinking "Please be a hologram..." :lol That would have been too stupid, but it was obvious in the movie that it was as a hologram!

Considering the size of the Snoke hologram, I give it 50/50 odds that when we finally see him in person he'll be shorter than Yoda.

I was gonna post this update in the other thread, because the loudest voices over there insisted on having just one thread--but in truth, they don't want any negative talk about the film there whatsoever.
Bad word-of-mouth has already doomed TFA's chance at toppling Avatar, and now it's dooming TFA's chance to even catch Titanic. Proof that you can't just stick the words "Star Wars" on a turd and hope to repeat the success of the original masterpiece.

I don't think being the third biggest movie of all time (as of this posting) is going to come off as a disappointment to anyone. Do we even know what kind of money it's making off the merchandise? Not even Avatar could get good merch.
