Realistically the movie was pretty good, you just flame it for the typical plot stuff every single star wars movie in the franchise had.
However the cinematography, directing and photography was perfect and on spot. Very artistic movie with good visual and audio elements. AND YEAH image and sound does matter in the overall movie experience. The scenario was okay, yeah there were some boring moments in that casino, still good for children i guess, but there were some hard worked ones with details etc (like the books Rei stole, the starship collision scene, the child using the force with the broom predicting a new generation of jedi).
Story was way better than episode 7. Probably the best movie for the new generation of viewers. People walk in the cinema and want to remember their old fantasies with the old movies, well guess what, it is a new one, with new stuff. Young people who watch all episodes think of the old movies as a normal thing, they are not impressed. Episodes 1-3 are by common agreement not something special. So yeah, rogue one and this move are right now on the top.
And no, its not a rehash of episodes 5 and 6. More like a rehash of episode 3. Whole parts of the dialogue between Luke and Kylo and Rei are reminding Obi Wan and Anakin.
All in all I agree there were bad scenario "plot holes" or story mistakes, but you leave the movie with a very good impression. The "bads" are less important than the "goods" of the movie, so stop flaming just for the shake of it! :D
