Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Simon G — 05 Jun 2018

This plot has been done so many times before! The whole film feels like a cash grab on loyal fans. Not as bad as The Last Jedi, that was almost an insult to audience intelligence with its terrible writing, but another example of style over substance.

The actors do a good job and Ron Howard is a great director, but they cant save this forgettable film. Alden Ehrenreich doesn't look enough like Harrison ford but he's not as off putting as the cringe worthy ideas to link into nostalgia that all fall flat.
