I think it was that way for a lot of people who didn't enjoy the film but you saw what they were really trying to do and it clicked. A lot of people wanted it to be "their" Star Wars movie and not its own Star Wars. For that I enjoyed it very much and just like you I loved the choices they took in this film.
