Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Ian Y — 31 Aug 2018

What really killed this movie was the casting of Han Solo... I watched the movie and although good, I can't still pass Alden Ehrenreich as Solo... the stupid smile he has all the time completely killed any similarity to the Han Solo character that we got to know across many Star Wars films.

Sorry, but this movie was doomed from the moment they did the casting of Han Solo...

Star Wars had died for me when I watched The Last Jedi. I really regret seeing that garbage. Due to that film I did not want to watch Solo…

I had such a great time watching this movie. I can't wait for a sequel. Enjoyed the actors, effects and pace. Good job Ron Howard…

Movies pacing was really off. No real character development, although Donald Glover did well in his roll…

Honestly one of my favorite Star Wars movies. So good that I even re-watched it when it dropped on Netflix (I rarely re-watch movies)…

Its main issues were its inability to create any tension. At all, at any point…

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Entirely UNNECESSARY and FORGETTABLE. There are a few set pieces in here worth watching, but Solo, though it shoots first, misses its mark…
