Well, it's a space opera action sci-fi, where the plot's movement is supposed to be quick and fun. I am not excusing plot holes, just saying, I don't think small plot holes necessarily take away from the film if the plot is not meant to be super realistic in the first place. After all, Star Wars is not and has never been (except maybe in some of the EU) "realistic". It's not a fleshed out world with piping, sewers and real economy. It's not complete world-building, it's about imagery and ideals. It's essentially good vs evil, with an evil empire that is generally evil Just Because (just like the Force has a Dark Side, aka Just Evil).

and it's okay, that's what the series aims for, so I don't go in expecting a super clever plot that's fully fleshed out.

As for Rey, I'm not saying she's the best character of the year but I'm skeptical that she's badly written, too. Until we know more about her past, I'm reserving judgment as to why she was able to learn the Force so quickly and beat Kylo Ren - that was really my only issue with her. She did seem a bit OP. But I still found her interesting and likable. Her introductory scenes alone, even though she didn't say much, really stuck out to me.

I would go so far as to say it was BECAUSE she didn't say much, or at least in part because of that, that those scenes stuck out. They showcased her character well.
