I saw it too. Ever since these new Star Wars movies came out, I've been of two minds about them. On one hand they didn't make the mistakes of the prequel trilogy. On the other hand they made a lot of new mistakes.
The biggest mistake for me is that they did a pretty thorough job of ruining the original trilogy, since you can no longer watch the ending of Return of the Jedi and think anything positive. Everything goes to shit afterwards, apparently, so it's a bit of a downer now. I would have been happier if these new films took place much further in the future after the original characters were all dead and gone. But I suppose they want to capitalize on killing them off, one at a time, to try and heighten the drama. Which they've failed at.
The other thing that bothers me is that they don't do a very good job at building tension. It all feels a bit cynical, with large amounts of death and destruction, with only a token effort to make emotional. So many scenes in the film come off as fan service, mirroring similar scenes from the original trilogy, but because they don't build any tension and there is little sense of consequence, it all comes off as cheap and cynical, despite their attempts at spinning those scenes. I mean, the efforts of Finn, Poe, and that Rose person were more than a failure, they made things actively worse. Had they done nothing at all, a lot of lives would have been saved. Or so it seemed to me.
I remember all the people who talked about seeing the original trilogy in the theater and how special that was. The prequels didn't feel special. And neither do these. I can't even remember if I saw The Force Awakens in the theater or if I waited for it to be released on bluray. It made so little impression. I did like Rogue One though.
If this film existed n a vacuum, maybe it wouldn't be half bad. But... big shoes to fill, and all that. They would have been better off adapting the novels into films imo. Those were at least original. These feel phoned in.
