Or you might like both of them for different reasons. Most of us will have to wait until we see it to form an opinion. Some of us will have already formed an opinions and spent a lot of time trying to bolster that opinion without watching the film. To each their own.
Your first article is from the NY Times - here is one praising the Star Wars trilogy, including Return of the Jedi, I guess they cannot keep an opinion straight...
That article from the Daily Telegraph actually praises the movie and how successful it was, while also taking a stab at the dialogue. Having said that - all star wars movies generally have some bad dialogue, so?

So what you are saying is, sometimes movies get good reviews and bad reviews from the same publication? so sometimes whether a movie is good or bad is subjective? Hmmm, here I was thinking you could fully judge a movie's quality based on the reviews of a few writers before you have even watched it yourself. Crazy of me to think that.

Crazy indeed.
Because what I am getting at are the same critics that praised the last jedi and called fans that didn't like it a long list of monstrosities, has come out to say the new movie is bad.
I am not talking about just a review from one person to the next, but I am talking about the shill media that has always turned its nose up at the haters and have now become haters themselves.

You realize that article proves my point right? That the OT had movies that divided critics, just like every movie after it, especially the one you love to hate so much (Last Jedi).
"There’s no getting away from it, more than either Star Wars or Empire before it, Return of the Jedi divided critical opinion. "
Lol, clearly Judith Martin didn't like the film and that's okay. She doesn't buy into all the Force nonsense. She isn't wrong, though. It is "a good junk movie." I would say most popular sci-fi fits that description.
I liked it, so it was good for me. TLJ was garbage though so I'm staying away from TROS, don't need more of that.

Jedi was the weaker movie of the OT, but it didn't divide the fanbase - the money alone it brought in on opening weekend alone was astronomical.
TLJ seriously fractured the fanbase. Since TLJ we have had Solo flop, Galaxy Edge do poorly as well as Star Wars merch falling off the shelves because they are in bargain bins.
Yet the fans are quick to generally unite under The Mandalorian, because it focuses on what a majority of the fans like and want out of star wars.
Comparing Return of the Jedi to the likes of The Last Jedi is ridiculous at best - I would suggest you don't go there, lol
That The Mandalorian is doing well is proof positive that SW fans are willing and eager to explore new avenues in SW lore. Rebels did well. The Clone Wars did well. Just make it a good story and maintain respect for what has already been established, the fans will respond.
There is still lots of room for new stories without "killing the past." What a horrible notion ... but curiously a strong reflection of current social norms: complete disregard for the lessons of the past.

Sure, TLJ fractured parts of the Star Wars fanbase who can't handle something different, but (I would imagine) most people don't regard Luke Skywalker as a god who can do no wrong.
I never intended to compare ROTJ to TLJ, only highlight the fact that even the highly regarded OT was not received positively by all critics, just like the sequel trilogy. Then again, excuse me if I don't regard in high standing the opinion of someone who compared a movie with an average critic rating of ~50 to one of the greatest movies of all time (AOTC to Godfather).
As soon as I knew they were bringing back Palpatine I knew it was gonna be terrible. Bringing back dead villians is the ultimate way of saying "we have no clue what we are doing" IMO.

Oh dear no - look to inflation as well, plus population increases over the years. Those are certainly variables.
Here are spoilers, showing the Emperor's defeat in the Rise of Skywalker as well as some new lore breaking information...
So genetics played a huge part as to why a force user was powerful. DNA/Blood testing to determine the amount of Midichlorians a jedi has. Qui-Gon also was interested in who Anakin's father was, as he was so powerful in the force. Luke also goes on to say that the force is strong in his family: "My father has it, I have and my sister has it..."
According to the new lore created in the Rise of Skywalker, apparently Jedi or Sith that die, their power transfers on to living Jedi or Sith. So if there is only 1 Jedi and 1 Sith they each have the power of all prior Jedi and Sith respectively - thisa makes no sense. Especially in regard to Anakin's creation, the Skywalker bloodline, Midichlorians count in DNA as well as if a Jedi falls to the darkside and joins the sith - does the prior power of deceased Jedi leave and that force user now inherits the power of deceased Sith, like some return exchange at a retail store?
Its dumb, very dumb.
Now we have the Emperor's death - not at the hands of Kylo Ren (which still somewhat could have made the Prophecy of the Chosen One still valid - but at the hands of Mary Sue Rey.
Yes, she deflects the lightening blasts of SIdious' force lightening back at him and he blows up! LOL.
This is exactly what Mace WIndu did to him, yet he was not defeated, in fact Sidious even let that happen to win over Anakin.
This is also how you defeat (not destroy) Sidious in the Force Unleashed game - so very lazy writing on JJ's part here.
Now some Sequel Trilogy fans defend Palpatine's return, as Anakin never truly brought balance to the force as Luke Skywalker was a surviving Jedi and true balance would mean the wradication of both Jedi and Sith - this is false, however, using that argument, as can be seen in the above clip Rey destroys Palpatine while at the same time claiming to be a Jedi...
Essentially Disney has completely remade the Original Trilogy in their own vision which panders to such SJW politics including diversity and feminism.
Quite frankly the sequel trilogy adds nothing to the already amazing story of the star wars saga - it is all just extra fluff which falls behind the likes of Solo or the Ewok movies.

You keep coming up with "reasons" why the facts are wrong, but whatever. i would remind you that TLJ and TFA are the 2nd and 4th highest rated movies in the series, but then again you will just respond with "shill media" and ignore more facts.
Also, inflation puts ROTJ and TLJ at approximately the same box office score in 2017 dollars (using the upper estimates for ROTJ).
