I originally like it, but the more I think about it, the more I dislike it.

This review is a couple order of magnitudes bettter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzDqydDwmD8
^^^^ It's specific, doesn't go over-dramatic with absolutes, actually uses footage to make clear what he's talking about, and doesn't cherrypick.
Sure, dramatic, yet mostly correct in his observations
TBH this movie is very polarizing and the divide between critics' opinion and the fans' opinion is one of the greatest I have seen in a long time.

I like Stuckmann too, but he cucks for this movie hard. Many comments under his review indicate so lucidly.
EDIT: I also place him in "pro critics category," who seem to play it safe with their reviews or outright cuck for the movie. The general public is more dissatisfied in general with TLJ (see RT scores, for instance)

RT audience reviews has it lower than Phantom Menace.....
Also, check out other youtube reviews. This movie is polarizing or mediocre for many.
Example:

What? Fan reviews have the film at 4 out of 5 stars, critics rate it around there. Where's the divide? TLJ was liked both by fans and critics.
Which speaks to the number of people who liked it, not how much they liked it on average. Per Fandango, people on average rated it 4 out of 5 stars.
I don't really check many youtube reviews. People who write written reviews are usually a great deal more knowledgable,
