Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Archangelxv1 — 26 May 2018

With all of the bandwagon hate going on due to the way The Last Jedi played out as well as the treatment of beloved characters, the fans have it in for this movie.

How wrong they are. This movie is one of the best Star Wars films I've seen in a long while. I enjoyed it more than Rogue One (For real, it was a downer). In fact, the past three SW movies have been complete downers as we've seen characters killed off one-by-one, again and again. It's been pretty depressing.

I think we needed this movie. It was fun. It was thrilling. It had that classic SW feel, and man, the aliens were incredibly well done as well as the sets and the effects.

The cast is spot-on as well, and although I never thought anybody else could be Han, Alden Ehrenreich did a dang good job. Lando? Okay, Glover was chanelling Billy Dee pretty much. Chewie was finally more than just big hairy window dressing, and the rest of the characters did a bang up job with their respective roles.

Man. I just cannot explain how happy I was walking out of the theater. And that reveal at the end? I can't wait for the sequel.

Do yourself a favor if you're a SW fan and ignore the fan hate. They are completely wrong. See Solo, and save this movie. It's worth it.
