I'm generally more interested, at this stage, in the reviews of the more mainstream/general review sites than the star wars super fans. It's not doing quite as well as I was expecting.

Probably because they think it is the sequel to TFA and are really confused.
I'm pretty convinced I'm going to love it because it's a star wars film (though there are limits, obviously). So I'm a lot more likely to forgive movie making mistakes within it

With Edwards directing this, though, you won't find many
The story is the brainchild of a five-member writing team with Tony Gilroy, who scripted most of the punishing Jason Bourne films, listed near the top. His bloody-knuckles vibe is clearly on display. As in every “Star Wars” film, the focus is the little guy fighting the big guy no matter what the odds. This time, the combat leaves palpable scars coated in filth; you experience them and wince. Not many Disney-produced films feature a frightened, screaming child watching her city being blasted apart.
As the latest in an ongoing (and seemingly endless) string of “Star Wars” companion films, this is a surprising shift. Right from the beginning, it warns us not to assume that we know what’s coming. The opening parallels the hulking behemoth star cruiser descending across the screen in the beginning of “Star Wars.” It takes a few seconds for our eyes to realize they’re being deceived by a cunningly designed visual red herring.
Leave your expectations at the door. This time, there is no story summary rolling up the screen. While it revives images, tropes, several classic characters and opaque mysticism about the Force, it’s immediately apparent that “Rogue One” isn’t weighed down by fan-service nostalgia. With little time for comic relief or patience for chatty character building, it amps up the tension from the start, and delivers it throughout in violent, even terrifying style.
Lets go see it at the same time. Call me and hold your phone to your ear, so when something cool happens we can excitedly whisper "oh my god that was so cool". And stuff.
