This is my review from a few weeks back on another forum:

Saw it tonight, meh.. 3.5/5 from this lad. I much preferred The Force Awakens - it felt more like Star Wars to me.
Positives:
I liked Cassian, Jyn and K2-SO.
Grand Moff Tarkin looked terrible imho - sorry, he just didn't look right to me in many of the shots. Leia looked better and pretty decent.
SFX was pretty good, but nothing ground breaking imho.
Soundtrack was terrible. Sorry, but I hated it.
Oh and the lack of a the text crawl at the start...terrible decision imho!
I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan and I'd rate this behind TESB, Ep IV and TFA.
Look, it wasn't bad, don't get me wrong. I just think it's been badly overhyped by people and isn't as good as what people are saying.
Movie felt a bit drawn out to me too. Script was reasonably good, character lines were well done and acting was fine.

I far preferred TFA to R1.
