I thought Laura Dern totally stole it... not a bad thing.
I'm in agreement with much of the "meh," but also in agreement that another viewing would be good (thought that before it even ended).
The one thing that irked me in both VII and VIII was Snoke. Why did they have to bring in a complete unknown with zero history? Some "force sensitive who saw both the rise and fall of the Empire?" Sure, and just happened to have the resources and insider knowledge to pull the stragglers together, build a massive fleet and army, and essentially take over the known universe...
There were plenty of existing background characters in the SW realm who could have realistically taken those reins.
Overall, though, I didn't want that part of my life back. It was fun enough.
