The previews were easy to see, but when this movie started, the scenes were so dark that we had no clue what was going on for the first 5-10 minutes. Eventually, the scenes brightened up, but the story was quite poor. I had hopes this may be another Rogue One, but sadly, it was a huge let down. This will be the last star wars that I pay for. The next one, I'll just wait until it shows up on netflix.… Expand

You will never guess how Solo gets his name, never, because it is so completely stupid. The whole movie is just crap, Star wars is dead and Disney killed it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What on earth is this movie?!!! Well for a start it looks like Darth Maul's been sexually abused and had acid chucked on him judging from his degraded appearance at the end of the movie to the extent even Jar Jar would feel sympathy for Maul if he could see him in Solo. Yet Disney thought it would be good idea for Maul to smile at the end, wtf is this, why would Maul smile like that when he's clearly been traumatised and probably sexually abused by Han Solo?

Chewbacca had way too much screen time, when people go to the movies they don't go to listen to weird animal noises and animal grunts they pay to see people having engaging conversations people can understand!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just a complete and utter waste of time, this was a story which didn't need to be told, in all honesty it isn't a story at all, it's just 2 hours spent fleshing out random lines of dialogue from Han Solo's scenes from the 4 movies he starred in, add in some completely cliched nonsense such as card games being lost in a scene followed by won later in the movie with zero real consequences it was just painful to sit through.

Also we get to know where his name came from (because nothing in Star Wars can be just left alone) but it came from a random enlistment officer calling him alone... or Solo on the naming document, I can't help but think if this is what the officers name every person who leaves that slave colony planet if they're alone... then half the Galaxy should have the second name of Solo, they should actually be the largest family name in the whole Star Wars universe by the time the empire falls.

Waste of time in every way.… Expand

I did not enjoy this movie. It's hard to even call it a movie. It's more like the adaptation of a checklist. Words like inconsequential and irrelevant come to mind. While the production design is top notch, the underlying film is lifeless.

[SPOILER FREE]

I don't know what happened, but I think that Harrison Ford wrote Han Solo's character more than George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. I expected better given that this was a Kasdan script. Except this totally missed the mark.[SPOILER FREE]

I don't know what happened, but I think that Harrison Ford wrote Han Solo's character more than George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. I expected better given that this was a Kasdan script. Except this totally missed the mark. Clearly he didn't understand Han Solo.

Chewie was the best he's ever been, which is what got this a +1. Lando was solid. The extra cast varied from charming to predictable. Woody Harrelson was playing Woody Harrelson, in a Woody Harrelson role. I don't know why the droids need to steal the spotlight.

This was the least Han Solo that a Han Solo story could be. It adds NOTHING to the history of Han, nor the Star Wars universe. This literally could have been an off cast story akin to Rogue One and would be just as OK. This is the reason for the low score. It would have been two points higher if it WEREN'T a Han Solo film.

Ron Howard made this watchable. If it weren't for him, it might have been a one, or a two. You can clearly see where the two films diverge. It's like getting smacked in the face tonally by how jarring it changes. I feel really sorry for the cast, but this movie should have been dropped rather than try to salvage.… Expand

EverySolo is a good star wars story, but not a good film. Where Rogue One excelled at referencing the original films in its cinematography and editing, Solo simply forces its characters to speak dialogue exclusively from the originals. Every stormtrooper says 'move along' over and over, Han keeps telling everyone never to tell him the odds and a droid that has just been gambling complains about not being served. The first few are fun, after that it gets ridiculous. The music especially is very often inconsistent with the tone of what is happening on screen and feels awfully out of place. This, combined with a plot that is never quite sure where it is going and characters which, aside from Solo and Qira are largely expendable and or inconsequential makes for a hollow adventure that never quite manages to be fun. The poorly handled sequel set up is the final nail in the coffin of a mess of a film made from what must have been, at some point a very capable and entertaining script.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Entertaining in parts but overall a very VERY disappointing let-down. The script is the major floor in the movie. The whole ‘KESSEL RUN’ part was a real let-down, with no real significance to its legacy. Chewy is the standout best thing about the film, although a lot of background is still left out. Whereas Glover is a great Lando. Ehrenreich looks great as Solo looking like Ford in many scenes, but the script and his story lets him down here. All the successful lessons learned for thinking outside the box writing ROGUE ONE have been either forgotten or disregarded. There's just many hole's left unfilled, pointless new issues shoehorned in that didn't add anything to the story. The movies ending has no soul or closure, and resurrecting Darth Maul is a bad setup for a sequel. I have no desire to watch SOLO ever again.… Expand

Evidemment.

Ainsi, ce nouvel avatar de la saga qui retrace les origines de Han Solo s’égare (encore !) dans ses atermoiements et ses gesticulatoins de justice sociale à deux balles (les autochtones, la « robote » par exemple…) tandis que le scénar ne sent clairement pas bon : il daube le nanar de gare bricolé par quelques crevards, c’est-à-dire des stagiaires bourrés… et personne, absolument personne n’a relu cette merde avant de commencer à tourner !

On sait qu’il s’agit d’un monde interlope et glauque avec des traîtres sur commande mais les rebondissements qui abondent et abusent achèvent de précipiter ce « Solo » dans la fosse de la médiocrité, pour ne pas dire parfois de la nullité très alarmante. C’est bon pour le rythme qui ne faiblit pas (on ne s’ennuie pas, non, non) mais on peste devant cette pseudo-histoire trouée de partout qui fait lever les yeux au plafond plus que de raison.

La copine de Solo (la fille de Game of Thrones, brune et habillée pour une fois) qui fait office de romance Harlequin pour le « mauvais garçon » apprenti-contrebandier s’avère elle aussi bien peu crédible et aussi creuse que le reste des personnages de pacotille. Seul le wookie tire son épingle du jeu…

La mise en scène de Ron Howard est heureusement tout à fait correcte sans vraiment se distinguer outre-mesure mais on ne peut pas demander la lune non plus. Mais l’ensemble est trop souvent mal éclairé : du temps de Hitchcock, c’était 3000W de projos et là, c’est 5W pour quasiment les deux tiers du film ! les effets spéciaux sont bien sûr magnifiques mais on n’en attend pas moins de la part de gros budgets de cette ampleur.

Néanmoins, si ç’avait été moins long, moins con et moins fan service, alors peut-être que ç’aurait été moins mauvais que d’habitude mais on reste ici -encore- dans le marasme des déjections disniaises, c’est un fait… regrettable.… Expand
