Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Nick P — 28 May 2018

Typical 40 something white manbaby who says Lucas ruined my childhood and KK is the worst. After TLJ I'm pretty much starwars'd out. But...

I don't know why I went to see it, I was planning on skipping it but AMC has their $5 tuesday movies and I thought what the hell.

I'm very glad I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a good, wholesome movie set in the SW universe that did justice to it's characters.

I'm not one who says 'if you're a true fan dot dot dot'. I say you get more of what you reward. I'd be willing to bet you'd like this movie.

I as much as anyone would love to see KK crash and burn but it seems a shame to tank a movie on purpose that actually is good.

Also I'm always on the lookout, like a hawk, SJW themes in movies. The one sjw'y message is mildly, very much mildly obnoxious BUT it actually serves the plot, it's not too tacked on.

Donald Glover is amazing as Lando! And I'm a racist! He does a fantastic impression/take on BDW's performance. I kept thinking "That IS Lando!" whenever he spoke. If they make a Lando movie I just might not vomit!

Alden Whatevereich is gives a wonderful performance. He doesn't suck, at all! He gives a very young, idealistic almost Luke-ish take on Han. I thought seeing a naive/innocent version of Han would be a terrible thing - it isn't! I think I love the character even more!

They do a great job setting the movie in the SW universe without the in your face fan service of Rogue One.
