Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Lager96 — 24 May 2018

Many people would like you to think Solo is a bad movie but it's not. Solo is a good Star Wars movie but nothing special. The moments that work in this film really work and the moments that don't work really don't work.

There are a few moments that stand out but a lot of this film forgettable. Alden Ehrenreich is a good Han Solo, as long as you don't expect him to be Harrison Ford. Emilia Clark is good in the role and Paul Bettany is good as the villain (even though he isn't in the movie for a majority of the runtime).

Donald Glover is the most memorable out of the entire cast and steals the show in every scene. There is one big surprise in this film but unfortunately it feels like a setup for another film or a sequel.

In any case, the surprise was amazing and I can't wait to see what they do next. There are a lot of small moments that make this an above average movie but there are too many small missteps to make this a great Star Wars film.

If your a Star Wars fan it's worth seeing, if not, you can probably wait until it's released on Blu-Ray.
