I wouldn't agree that it's bad film-making.
It's just not literal - or realistic film-making. It's just much more fantastic film-making, which isn't necessarily out-of-place in Star Wars.
The only reason I would say I don't care for it is because it takes almost a minute (an eternity in screen time) to get to any actual story material. It doesn't take an entire minute to establish that there's a battle going on, which is ALL that the shot communicates, besides simply being cool.
