It really depends from which angle you look at the game. If you are new to Zelda or compare the game to other "good" games out there you will most likely focus on its strengths and consider it a good game.

If, on the other hand, you still remember how each Zelda game used to push the whole adventure genre forward in the past you will likely be disappointed. Skyward Sword actually feels like a step down from Twilight Princess in some ways (lack of overworld, not as epic, less actual Zelda-ish stuff (even the Zora's are gone...) ). I'd even argue it doesn't look better than Twilight Princess.

I remember when Twilight Princess was released people complained about stuff that felt out of place in a 2006 game. And here we are in 2012 and Skyward Sword didn't fix a single complaint that was made back then. It even did some things worse.
