If anything, I felt the biggest fault of the movie was that it crept out into uncharted territory, then scurried right back to safety.
*Spoilers*
Rey and Ren should've destroyed the whole thing--Sith, Jedi, Rebellion, First Order, and started fresh.
I can't believe they didn't keep going in that direction. They just teased around the idea, abandoned some of the dumber/useless things in TFA (Rey's parents MacGuffin and Snoak), suggested heavily that it wouldn't be as formulaic, and then set up a beautiful scenario where the two major Force-wielders in the movie actually team up instead of fighting each other. If they just let the past die and set up a new balance or whatever and pave the way for a brand new story, that would've been great.
But once Rey pulled a fast one on him, the movie just abandoned all kinds of potential. It positioned itself so well for new storytelling, but instead they went right back to Rebels-Jedi/Empire-Sith junk. That was the most disappointing part for me.
It was alright though. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd watch it again.
