The best compliment I can give is it was not quite as bad in absolute magnitude of awefulness as reboot Star Trek, but still pretty much bad in all the same ways as reboot Star Trek.
When you look at the original Star Wars films, they are in many ways in the same boat. Yeah the effects were certainly groundbreaking for the time, but come on, the acting and plot lines are rather cheesy. The original films were adventure movies made for kids, so what did you expect with the new film? Basically it was a re-hash of Episode 4 in almost everything that it did, but it still did a good job at it.
