I liked it. We meet a young Han Solo trying to escape the slums. In typical fashion, he pisses off the wrong people and his girlfriend Emilia Clarke gets taken and becomes Paul Bettany’s sex slave. He spends three years trying to rescue her and gets a shot when he joins Woody Harrelson’s smuggling gang. Oh, and in the middle of all this he meets Chewbacca & Childish Gambino and beats the Kessel Run. I liked it. Kazillion times better than Last Jedi. MAYBE better than Rogue One. Maybe. What gives Rogue One the edge is that Darth Vader scene. The Kessel Run is fun but it’s not Darth-Vader-Killing-People-In-Hallway good. I like the cast, including the guy playing Han. Emilia Clarke is always fuckable, looking forward to the sequel. Yes. They set up a sequel and I’m okay with that. Music is fantastic. PhantomKnight go buy it. And yes, the scenes directed by Lord-Miller and the ones by Ron Howard are plainly obvious but it all gels together a lot better than everyone expects. |

Stop shrinking the universe. If this movie makes its budget back I'll be shocked. 5 posts on this thread alone and nobody really even reviewed it.
Expand the universe and give people more novel stories, this movie prob isn't awful but fatigue and general non interest can be blamed on the last Jedi subverting people's expectations and ruining any of the good will built up from previous star wars.
I'll see it this week, perhaps... Solo since no one really wants to see this thing.
Gimme more side stories not back stories. Hell make a romcom with Jaba the hutt that ends in heartbreak forcing him to enslave and capture women with chains... Not charm. Use the recent uptick in neckbeards being angry at women all the time as an allegory.
Bob iger gimme a call.

I went in with extremely low expectations. Between my disappointment in The Last Jedi, and all the behind-the-scenes goings on with Solo, I was prepared for this to be a clusterfuck that might at least be worth laughing at for just how terrible it was.
I had a great time. Nothing made me angry. I'm even fine with the cameo.
I really only have one complaint, and it's pretty minor. The fertility idol from Raiders took me out of the movie. Some people like little nods like that, but once I see something like that in the background, I stop paying attention to what is going on in the scene and instead start thinking about whatever movie the relic is from.

Dracula hints at some of the issues, I'll go a little further on why it sucks... (These are random thoughts about the movie, if your looking for a coherent review. Maybe I’ll do one at some point) Tiresome fan service to get them out of the hole Disney and Kennedy put themselves in with TLJ. Disney should keep pushing Star Wars into new direction, not being afraid of fans. This is the biggest reason this movie suffers is because it plays safe. Anyways... -Oh lets introduce dead characters people love that shit, who's the one guy that everyone loves in the prequels? MAUL! Oh yea lets introduce him! Give him his double lightsaber in the end of his scene, so everyone knows for sure its him.
-Why would something that lived so close to the Maelstrom be so stupid as to chase prey too close to the gravity well? The giant monster didn't bother me in and of itself, but why couldn't it have just abandoned the chase once the Falcon cleared the event horizon? -Han got his blaster, met Chewie and Lando, reunited with his childhood love, did the Kessel Run, learned how to shoot first and won the Falcon all within the span of two days. -Also, Chewie has seen Han's junk. -Rest in peace, L3. To honor your fight for robot equality, we've decided to imprison your consciousness in an inanimate object. -So are we just gonna act like Chewie wasn't feasting on humans for a hot parsec or what? - Lando was totaling fucking that robot, and now wants to fuck the Millennium falcon? Okkkkayyy Disney... Thanks for ruining Lando completely.... -Also did you see the dice? I must of missed the seventeen times they showed it... It has some decent moments, the train sequence was the most fun and the whole everyone backstabbing one another had me laughing... But I'm ready for the origin stories to be done and over with about now. 5/10

Not to mention the fact that this seems like the exact wrong series to bring him back in. Darth Maul is, ultimately, a very shallow character. His one and only job was to look really cool while having fast paced lightsaber fights. This is why they were so willing to kill him off. A little bit of him went a long way. Now they're bringing him back in an era when there is zero chance of him getting into a lightsaber fight with any jedi. -Why would something that lived so close to the Maelstrom be so stupid as to chase prey too close to the gravity well? The giant monster didn't bother me in and of itself, but why couldn't it have just abandoned the chase once the Falcon cleared the event horizon? I would also question why it was so interested in chasing them in the first place. Are small spaceships a part of this giant space squid's diet in the first place? Even if that's the case the Falcon couldn't have been much of a meal. If anything it should have been as insignificant as a bug to that thing. I kind of have the same problem with most of the Jurassic Park movies. Why would a T-rex care so much about eating tiny primates when it has triceratops to hunt? -Also, Chewie has seen Han's junk. Chewie is essentially a nudist... -Also did you see the dice? I must of missed the seventeen times they showed it... Were those dice even in the original trilogy? If it was it was certainly the most minor of things. I have no idea why the last two movies seems to think they're, like, a central symbol of these films. |

Did everyone who has a problem with the giant, starship eating space squid also get bent out of shape over the giant, starship eating space worm from ESB?

The space worm in ESB seems to be less intentionally looking for trouble. The worm was just chilling until the ship flew right into it, and yeah it took a bite after the falcon few out of it but that feels more like a reflexive thing like swatting a fly. It didn't chase it into its own death. |
