One-dimensional or not, consistency is important, and I felt like I was led to believe Kylo Ren was a serious badass that everyone was deathly afraid of. Watching him struggle in a lightsaber duel with someone that had never touched one, wound or not, just didn't feel consistent with the rest of the movie. Perhaps there is some missing element to explain it all, but as the movie stands, it didn't sit right with me.
