I rate it as better than the prequels, mostly because of the skill of the actors. I enjoyed it, but I don't consider it very well written, even accounting for Carrie Fisher's death and Collin Trevorrow's firing, not very well directed, and rather choppily edited. I also am generally not a fan of JJ Abrams' direction, which I consider very hit or miss, his hits being all right, his misses having me storm out of the theater in a huff.
What sold me on TROS was the skill and charisma of the cast, especially Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver.
