TLJ is a good movie, even a great one. It's just not a great episode 8 of a 9 episode saga. Deconstructing requires reconstruction and it's hard to do that in a single film.
I think that's the main disagreement, people who look at TLJ as a stand alone film or even part of the sequel trilogy, vs people who connect the entire series as a single unbroken plotline, broadly following the 3 part structure of an Aristotelian Tragedy.
i liked TFA and then gave up after TLJ. it wasn't a bad movie but it felt like it went in a completely different direction and didn't progress the plot much for the trilogy.

Or, and I know I'm going out on a limb here, written the whole trilogy plotline before shooting the first film.
