The first Star Wars was no great work of cinematic craft, but it still contained some well crafted aspects. The mystique around the republic, the Jedi and the force was subtle and effective. The menace of the empire was also pervasive without being all cartoonish. The landscape was effective in helping the atmosphere.
The new movie had none of this, except by accidentally through copying of some visual cues from the old one.
Old Star Wars was a loud movie with some subtleties, the new one a cacophonous one without any.
Worst of all, the new villain, Kylo ren, strives to be mean without conveying any menace. His master an ambodiment of the crypt, not of evil.
