I skipped 4E (still playing 3.5E now, but will probably update to 5E) so I know nothing of those adventures. What was so bad about them?

I'm curious about this. I remember playing through 'Keep' and don't recall it being anything other than kind of uninspired. We did consider one of the encounters to be way unhinged for a beginning group (as it threatened a TPK for a 2nd-level party, essentially), but otherwise I don't recall thinking it was anything other than cromulent.
Will these adventures be tied to the Starter Set which goes from lvl 1 to 5 or will they also start at first level?
If so, then this means starting over again?

No I think the Starter Set adventures are unrelated. You probably could link them up to the Tyranny of Dragons adventures, but I don't think they are directly connected.
But, I am pretty sure there is some probability that many people will want to start over at 1st level with a new edition's release.
Ok, because I'm thinking from the perspective that I might get some people hooked on D&D with the Starter Set Adventure and then have to tell them at lvl 5 that they have to discard the characters they've gotten used/attached to if they want to play another cool adventure (Tyranny of Dragons) AND have to start at lvl 1 again.
There has to be some kind of easy transition for the newbie players from the Starter Set, right?
