Better each time regardless of your initial reaction. The only exception to that for me personally is the "save the space horses" scene.

I've seen this sentiment in multiple places and it really wouldn't surprise me, either. I was too young to really remember it, but I'm told Empire was kind of the same. People were divided about it. Many said it was terrible, that it was too different from Star Wars. And now it's fairly universally regarded as the best one.
I'm not saying the exact same thing will happen with TLJ. It's a different time. But it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.
I think at the very least there will be a mellowing. Once there are other Star Wars films and Ep 9 gives more total context to the trilogy overall, I think people will settle about it. And that's on both sides.
