The first appearance of him in the village on Jakku at the very beginning of the film is probably my favorite scene of him. Full garb, flanked by troopers. He seemed the most imposing here to me.

. it took Lor San Tekka about 4 seconds to start using it against him!
The fact that he doesn't look or feel as imposing as Vader IS THE WHOLE POINT of his character in TFA. I hope everyone is getting that. This trilogy is a whole new flavor from OT, just as the PT was. If anyone is looking for the ST to check of their OT boxes on character and feel before you like the ST entries, I'm afraid your going to be sorely disappointed.
It's interesting that the criticism of TFA seems to have rolled into two camps. Those who thought is was way too much like ANH, and those who thought it was way too little like ANH
The thing about a Star Wars movie is that you've got heroes you love all around that you are really pulling for, but it's the main villain who sets the tone. It's no different in TFA. While Vader's conflict was buried and dormant, Kylo's is RIGHT on the surface. Everyone who knows the Force knows this instantly when they encounter him, and IT DRIVES HIM CRAZY!!
I would not look for Kylo's conflict to resolve itself so that he can walk around, Eps VIII and IX doing a Vader impression. I expect it to intensify the more he tries to squash it until it finally erupts (one way or the other) when he finally faces Rey one more time.

For me it was Rey as the standout/break through character though, not Kylo. And I usually like the villains.Ah yes, that was cool also.
"WHAT girl?"
My favorite humor line in TFA came of course, from Han Solo.
"Move ball!" (Referring to BB-8)
