TFA as a stand alone film is good, and would be great as the first film, but as the next installment of the series it derailed everything. They blatantly copied New Hope, put zero thought into how we got here or where we were going. People assumed watching TFA there was a plan and the other films are hated more because that's when you realized there was no plan.
TFA is what I consider my least favorite, and it's mostly because of this. I didn't even like it on release, and frankly, I ended up enjoying the later two films more because at that point, I had already lowered my expectations and more or less checked myself out. Regardless, I never watched any of them more than once, whereas I've watched the PT and OT more times than I can remember.
In retrospect, though, my love for Star Wars probably ended with New Jedi Order, as almost nothing that came after did much for me, even before it was sold to Disney. Still, the ST really put the final nail in that coffin for me and pushed me to no longer pay attention to what's happening with the franchise.
