I think you are.... right?

It's funny because I really liked the movie and I would never have put it like this. But now, that you said it, I wouldn't say the movie has particularily good writing. Personally, I don't think it's that bad either? It's just mostly mediocre with some good moments and some plot holes and quite a bit to much recycled elements from episode IV. (And before anyone complains, yeah I got that the recyling was intentional to bring us back to the beginning and set up parallels, but that doesn't change that it felt a bit repetative, at least imo.)

I think it would be fair to say that TFA has good enough writing. It's strong on other things, which means it's still a very enjoyable experience over all. If the writing was really bad, then the movie's other good qualities (engaging acting, fun world building, etc) probably couldn't redeem it - look at the prequels.*

* OK, the prequels are also hampered by Hayden Christiansen's complete lack of charisma, and the fact that he and Natalie Portman had very little chemistry, but I still think the main problem was that the writing was distractingly bad.
