I said a lot of shyt in another thread, but I was doing some thinking as I always do and I do believe Finn's character was more pronounced than Rey's. Rey's character is pretty damn 1-dimensional all throughout. There are very little moments where she is vulnerable or shows more depth or gravitas or wisdom that can only come through turmoil. We can juxtapose her character with Finn's character, who I believe is a 3 dimensional character. Just look at the guy, he lies because he is afraid of how he will be perceived, he is scared throughout, he is infatuated with Rey and tries to save her but fails... Essentially, he is a more human-like character than Rey, a character most of us can connect with (sans the common, negative stereotypes). And he is constantly saved by Rey (would be terrible if this movie was self-contained in that there won't be future episodes, or if in future episodes Finn is killed off at the start of Star Wars 8).
And given Finn's last act of not being a force user and just rushing into battle against a Sith who is much more powerful and experienced, shows even more character on his part. Sure, he may have been knocked into a coma, but he still performed. This, at least to me -- given future work, and hopefully not making Finn into a complete side-kick Nancy boy --- would signify Finn as a central, main-player in the Star War's universe. The writers obviously wanted to make him more of a human-like character with immense vulnerabilities, but I think that was kind of lost on my part given I had a more visceral reaction than a more calmed and relax reaction. The visceral reaction was in part due to the stereotypes in the movie. I still stand by what I said of where it concerns the obvious propaganda displayed in the film.
Even though I hated the damn stereotypes, I could connect with Finn more than I could the others not due to race, but because he had more human qualities than the others.
Overall, I gave the film a 9/10. They didn't need to have all those damn stereotypes.
