Honestly, Ren's face reveal was the most anticlimactic scene I've ever seen in any movie.I think you are making a few assumptions that don't really line up with what was presented in the movie. First of being, Kylo ISN'T a Sith. Wild right? The Sith are dead and gone, and there has been nothing to indicate that either Kylo or Snipe are Sith. As far as what's presented in the movie, he's a half trained Jedi who fell to the darkside, and is now a half trained darksider who depends on wild rage more than skill. Lacking is the cold efficiency of the Sith because, well he's not a Sith.
As far as Rey being a Mary sue... Yeah a little bit, but I quite enjoyed her fight with Kylo. She's a scrapper, but no lightsaber duelist, and it shows. Up until she lets the force guide her she is seriously outmatched, with the pain fueled Kylo (pain and the darkside being pretty much the only thing keeping him standing at that point) easily pushing her back into a compromising position. As far as the force taking time to learn, that's more of a prequel trilogy idea that was introduced later, with the original concept being more about finding your "spiritual" center and being at peace. Like was only on Dagobah with Yoda for a few weeks, maybe a month, if my memory serves. After that he didn't go back until Roth.
Agreed that Phasma was a huge let down.
On to Film's duel with Kylo. Kylo is injured, he's not at 100%. He has a grievous injury and is using the dark side to harness the pain to keep him going. Hell his mental state is probably wrecked, he just murdered his father, so the darkside is likely the only thing keeping him from having a BSOD moment as well. And he still wrecks Finn, who is a trained melee combatant.
Also yes, Kylo is basically a complete noob who had only received half training in both the dark side and the light.
Not saying you are wrong for disliking it, even though I enjoyed it, but you have a few misconceptions that might be skewing your interpretation of the movie, leading to more dislike.
The trailers were all like 'OH MAN! KYLO REN'S A BIG DEAL MAN FACE REVEAL IS GONNA BE EPIC!'
Rey: "...creature behind a mask."
