Disagree it was meh. Movie was great, and the last 40 minutes were epic, especially the end. Better than VII.
Some highlights:
1. not your typical happy movie - all who though Disney would sugar coat this franchise were wrong.
2. CGI for Tarkin was unbelievable
3. Vader used perfectly
4. Female lead wasn't really that much of the focus
5. Great mixing of ambience of the original Episode IV, since it's the same time period
I'm glad they took this from Lucas, and took it seriously enough to make good films.
