The best thing the sequel movies have going for them is that the prequel movies were so god-awful that most fans will settle for an okay movie at this point. And TLJ was okay. It was pretty. There were good action sequences and some heartfelt moments. No one was horribly OOC. The characters that were supposed to have chemistry had it. It even did a better job than TFA in a few things, like making Kylo Ren seem like someone who might actually be a credible threat instead of someone who'd probably have accidentally cut himself in half with his lightsaber years ago throwing a tantrum because someone ate his hot pockets. Is it going to make anyone's "Best Movie of the Year" list? Probably not. But it was okay, and that's enough for some people.

I disagree in some parts.
First of all, one of my main issues was that, while Kylo was at least a bit more threatening than in TFA (although not by much, imo), absolutely NOBODY ELSE on the evil side was. It was all a mess of icompetent bumbling morons who seemed more at home in an Austin Powers movie. It was annoying as hell.
And I think that quite a few people were immensely OOC. Mostly because - and that was my other main issue - a lot of scenes were done with a dumb joke or quip in mind instead of how the actual characters should be acting. It was all very "let's make an Avengers movie full of snarky one-liners and silly jokes and worry about the plot later, if at all".
It had some good action sequences. It also had some heartfelt moments. But on the other hand, it had some hilariously dumb plotholes and new characters that in some regards were okay but in others added nothing of value to the plot.
