Solo: A Star Wars Story

Wow. Really liked this movie. The look of it is very dark and kind of dirty but on the other side it's a lot of fun and I thought the stoey was pretty interesting and exciting. Can't wait to watch it at home in 4K.

First of all, it is not like other Star Wars movies. if you like the "Indiana Jones" like movies, with some mix of adventure, fun, and action, with little drama and romance parts you will be pleased to see the new/old Han Solo and his pack. :)

Honestly, it's a really good film. It's got great action, great dialogue (oh how I wish Lord & Miller were still on board) and just because you can kind of guess the outcome, what with it being Solo's origins, that doesn't mean the film can't surprise you on the way.

I only have a few negatives, actually. L3 was a little much, it doesn't help that you end up inevitably comparing her to the outstanding K2SO from Rogue One and of course, K2 is better. Paul Bettany tries, god bless him, I know his character is more efficient/ruthless than evil but he's just too nice to really pull it off. It's not a mark against him, but I guess rather the casting? Finally, I guess the score could have been better, but I did like the little moments of classic score when significant events happen (i.e. seeing the Falcon the first time).

All in all, yeah it's mostly predictable [spoiler](I really want to go see this with someone who hasn't seen Clone Wars/Rebels to see their reaction to *that* moment)[/spoiler], but it's a damn fun ride.

(It's 9 on here, but I guess it's more an 8.5 realistically, it'd round down to 4 if it was out of 5 stars, basically).

Not sure what all of the criticism is with this movie, I've seen it twice now and I love it.

this movie was fun and cute and haters need to calm down

great film, great cast, great story dont see why anybody is being negative about it

I really enjoyed it, I can't believe it was so bad received by the fans back then, even with the awful marketing and awful choice of release date it is a good origin story for Han, it has small failures but everything else is a gift for the fans and a reference to the future, I hope it gets the love it deserves and see a sequel in the future or something

_Solo: A Star Wars Story_ is a great movie that explores the fascinating origin of Han Solo in the _Star Wars_ saga. The film offers a thrilling and action-packed adventure that dives into the character's past and sheds light on some of his most defining moments. From his early days as a hustler to his daring escapades with Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, the film captures the spirit and essence of the beloved character in a way that feels both faithful to the original trilogy and fresh and exciting. While it may not be the most essential entry in the _Star Wars_ franchise, it's a great standalone film that offers a unique and entertaining look at one of the series' most beloved characters.

Quite a good movie that has a very dark and kind of colorless visual tone but delivers on the characters and the story. Alden Ehrenreich is the perfect casting choice to play a young Han Solo. The resemblance with the young Harrison Ford from the original trilogy is incredible. It's also fun to actually see the card game where Han wins the Falcon from Lando at the end. And the best thing by far is that they actually made a connection to the brilliant animated Clone Wars television show in showing that Darth Maul is the leader of Crimson Tide. This was really unexpected and is absolutely amazing for me as a big fan of the TV show.

Fantastic movie from start to finish! It's action-packed and is never unnecessarily slow. The leads are well fleshed out and Ehrenreich plays a convincing Han Solo, complete with mannerisms, without falling into the trap of copying Ford. Glover portrays a pitch-perfect Lando, Bettany a frightening antagonist, and Harrelson an interesting mentor for Han. I'm not always a fan of Harrelson but he was a perfect fit for this role.

There are numerous nods and mentions to other products in the franchise, including the extended universe. I highly recommend having watched The Clone Wars series (and even Rebels) to catch most of these references though it is certainly not required to know any of this before watching Solo.

The music is fantastic and both old and new themes come by.

Not once are Jedi or The Force mentioned. Yet, it's arguably the most _Star Wars_ film since the Original trilogy. It definitely _feels_ very much like the old films as it's filled with action, fun, and "whoa" moments.
