This all just proves how subjective movies are (and art in general for that matter). TLJ certainly has its flaws, but I enjoyed it. I loved what they did with Luke's story in particular, and it was cool to see a darker version of his character; an older, bitter, beaten-down Jedi who had experienced a lot of trauma, like he's suffering from PTSD.
I've read that fans were pissed off when he threw the lightsaber over his shoulder, but personally I thought that was a great moment. People bitching about how "Luke would never act like that." Really? How do you know? A long time has passed since ROTJ, and clearly some horrible s**t went down in the intervening 30 years that this guy feels directly responsible for, mostly involving his own nephew. For me it made sense that he had taken himself out of the game and just wanted to disappear. In the end he's redeemed when he pulls off the ultimate non-violent Jedi mind trick, allowing the resistance to escape and keep their hope alive. And then that gorgeous shot of him sitting on the rock, looking up at the two suns as he crosses over. That's good stuff...at least to me anyway.
I also liked the majority of scenes between Rey and Kylo, and the lightsaber battle in the throne room was terrific. Wonderful acting from both of them as well, especially Daisy Ridley.
The entire Yoda scene was also great and felt the most like the original trilogy to me. The old-school puppet, John Williams' score, the dialogue, and Hamill's awesome performance. Everything worked beautifully in that scene.
