I differentiate the two as a complaint being an expression of dissatisfaction that something was not done right and needs to be corrected.

"The soup was not hot enough". (Implication that it was not heated properly.)

Whereas an opinion would be along the lines of "The soup would have been better had it been hotter. (Less an implication that something was wrong but rather one of opinion.)
