Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Compi24 — 24 May 2018

Well, then. Consider me pleasantly surprised. Because, when I heard of the many production woes and trials that occurred along the way in crafting this film, I was sure the final product would be tired, boring, and devoid of meaning.

And though it would still take a lot to convince me that this movie absolutely needed to happen, it's most certainly not boring or tired. In fact, director Ron Howard's "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is - at times - The rip-roaring, smooth-talking space actioner I was hoping it could be.

And aside from a few head-scratcher creative choices here and there, I think it works overall as a film.
