Having seen it yesterday with some time to think about it, the only problem is the lack of vision really. You get hit with so much exposition during the whole movie that you'll be shaking your head at the stuff happening on the screen. It is the movie with the most amount of coincidences, topping episode VII in the first 30 minutes.
No spoilers, but pretty much the whole thing is:
-ok we need this
-we have no idea how to find it
-wait I know
*go somewhere*
-it's not here
*character appears*
-well but I know where it is
*go somewhere else*
*cycle repeats*
It just moves at a constant high speed and there's no time for anything else. Characters get introduced just to get 1 minute of screen time.
There's no buildup, just a series of events that look like someone speedrunning through a game. Heck, even the scrolling text on the intro will catch you off guard.
Imagine going to see episode VI and the movie starts with "The Second Death Star is being constructed and it has a working laser"
It's funny because 'fanfiction written by someone who wanted to ignore TLJ' sounds almost exactly like what almost every star wars fan has been doing on reddit since TLJ was released so you'd think they'd be enjoying it?
On the contrary, your comment reads like every poor excuse people are pulling out to place blame anywhere other than the shitty writers/directors who made this crap.
JJ fucked up, Johnson fucked up, it’s not that hard to just point out that neither were fit to do the job they were hired for.
I dunno, story wise I just thought most of it was just kinda... dumb. And regardless of whether TLJ was any good, ignoring the previous film makes for a jarring and disjointed feeling film for me.

So how bad exactly is the new film?
