While Force Awakens and Last Jedi were farWent in with significantly lowered expectations and left wondering what the heck critics are complaining about. It wasn't a dramatic masterpiece but I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. While Force Awakens and Last Jedi were far more polished, I had much bigger narrative and directorial issues with both than I did Solo. I thought the fan service peppered throughout was handled impeccably, Alden Ehrenreich did an uncanny job capturing young Harrison Ford's mannerisms as Solo, and Glover was superb as Lando. If you're a fan of the original trilogy do not let the polarizing views dissuade you from seeing this on a big screen and judge for yourself.… Expand

I was actually pretty impressed with Solo. It had a number satisfying action sequences and the backstory kind-of fit with what I had always imagined for the character. Ron Howard is a solid if somewhat unsurprising director.

Above all I love the way the Star Wars Story films continue to explore seemingly marginal characters like the Stormtroopers or droids or wookies and expands on their lives in sometimes surprising ways.… Expand

There isn't much in the way of new or different story telling, but I had a good time watching Solo. The performances were all good and Ron Howard steered the ship to a safe landing even if you desiring something a little bolder. B+

How wrong they are. This movie is one of the best Star Wars films I've seenWith 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.… Expand

Yeah, Aldenreich is no Ford, but he is a likable lead. The best part is the relationship between him and Chewie, totally natural. Also, this is probably the first time Chewbacca has been fully utilized. As practically everyone else has said, Glover is a terrific Lando Calrissian. The younger version of him is even more delightuflly egotistical. The MVP of new characters is Han's robot co-pilot. I won't spoil too much about her, but she may the most unique droid in Star Wars.

I liked this but I do rank it behind the other recent SW films. (Though definitely leaps above the prequel trilogy.) The film does contain an overglut of characters and set changes. The ending is a bit subdued, too. There is one part of this film that will confuse those who never watched the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels cartoon series. I mean I give the writers credit for maintaining the continuity of the canon, but it is at the disadvantage of the casual viewer. Lastly, the biggest problem of the film is how darkly shot most of the film is. The lighting doesn't even match the tone.… Expand

It isn’t anywhere near as ambitious as THE LAST JEDI, comforting as THE FORCE AWAKENS or great at giving us closure to storylines like ROGUE ONE, but for what it had to do, and all it had working against it, I’d say things turned out alright.

I was really conflicted about Solo: A Star Wars Story. On one hand I hate the direction Disney is taking the franchise and absolutely despise the Sequel films.

On one hand I hate the direction Disney is taking the franchise and absolutely despise the Sequel films. But if I'm to punish movies I don't like then its only fair I praise movies I do like. And I did have a really great time with this flick.

It really is a Heist/Gangster film in a Space Opera setting. We see brilliant shots of the Corellian Slums, a muddy warzone on Mimban, and some really excellent sequences of the Falcon in space.

The humor was much more subtle and appropriate than anything from the sequel films. The characters, though a little one-dimensional at times make much more sense. The empire is portrayed as vast and intimidating whilst also not having infinite reach. Callbacks and references to the other films and to the EU (surprisingly enough) occur often but they rarely stand out as forced.

While the future of the franchise is pretty much a lost cause post-Endor, both of the side-stories have managed to seriously impress me despite extremely low expectations. If you're boycotting Disney for the travesties they've committed with Episodes 7 & 8 then I can understand not wanting to see another Disney-produced film. This idea cuts both ways however, if Lucasfilm start making Star Wars movies you actually like and you don't see them, it'll send the message that people really do want the adventures of MaRey Sue vs Cry-lo Ren and the Hitler Youth repeated every year for all time. Be consistent, or you'll never get the Star Wars universe you want to see.… Expand

Wow, I've never seen a fanbase THIS toxic. Not a single review that is under a 6 has valid arguments to why this movie was ''bad''. The only thing I'm seeing is: Kathleen Kennedy ruined Star Wars, SJW Propaganda and Disney ruining Star Wars. So lets get to why I liked it. Solo: A Star Wars Story is something new and refreshing. It's so much better than I expected. The story is amazing, Jon and Lawrence Kasdan have done an amazing job. Despite the movie having a directorial change it still feels very coherent and well put together. The movie was great fun all around. SPOILERS AHEAD. The reveal of Darth Maul (Sam Witwer/Ray Park) was surprising and it felt right. He fits right into the story and I really want to see those other 2 Solo movies to find out what happens next with the Crimson Dawn. The surprises of Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke) turning on Han (Alden Ehrenreich) was an amazing twist. Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) is not what I expected, I expected it to be bad. He was great in the role as Han Solo and Lando was also excellently played by Donald Glover. Overall I was less divisive about Solo: A Star Wars Story than The Last Jedi and it was a very fun movie in general. Score by John Powell was also great, especially Enfys Nest's/the Savareen's theme.… Expand

I went in with low expectations thanks to TLJ. I didn't watch any of the Solo trailers and I didn't read any news about the movie beforehand. This movie was made for the existing Star Wars fanbase and I enjoyed it because of that. I felt like TLJ was made to gather a new Star Wars fanbase while letting the past die, killing it if it has to.

I have always had a difficult time figuring out exactly what it is about Star Wars that I love so much. There are so many elements to the movies, I'm not sure I can put my finger on just one of them. If I had to choose, I would say the movie's ability to take me to a galaxy far, far away is the core element. The Last Jedi didn't do that for me, but Solo did. I love the feeling of wonder and fantasy. The "lived in" environment, full of used machinery and living spaces, is ever present. We get a better feel for how the Empire has truly permeated its presence throughout the galaxy. We get to see how lawlessness reigns in some galactic territories. We get to see new and familiar alien species. We get to see planets that are mentioned in previous Star Wars films, but not seen in a movie until now. For the most part, I felt like I was in the Star Wars universe throughout this film. No, the film isn't perfect, but that's true of all the previous Star Wars films so far. I didn't feel like this movie was trashing Star Wars, it was merely building on what already exists. Considering the setbacks Lucasfilm faced during production, I think this movie turned out quite well. I never really wanted a movie about Han Solo, but I'm happy with what we got.… Expand

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.

Occasionally the charisma of Harrison Ford shines through, but only for brief moments. In contrast, Star Wars drips from every pore of the movie. The worlds are very well implemented and have that filthy and worn look one would expect from a Star Wars movie, especially in the Underworld. The humor was decent and did not always work, the fan service and the easter eggs were well dosed. The emotional moments usually do not work, because one is missing the reference to the figures. In addition, the film lacks tension, but that's the problem with a prequel. We know who will survive in any case. The supporting roles were very well staffed, especially Donald Glover stands out. I just had a problem with Emilia Clarke - she works in GoT, but here she did not make a good impression. For me, there was only one really disturbing and completely unnecessary scene - how Han Solo got its name. Facepalm. All in all, I had fun and was well entertained, I did not expect anything more, so I am satisfied with the movie. After one-time seeing I feel in any case better than after Episode 8.… Expand

We remember Star Wars films from our youthSolo is an enjoyable film despite not being a great film. There seems to be an agenda of hate surrounding Star Wars films today, and this bias is pretty evident in user reviews across many sites. We remember Star Wars films from our youth and rate today's films through a lens of nostalgia that can rarely be matched. Everyone wants the next film to be better than the last. Put it all in perspective and just enjoy some good characters, spectacular effects, and a few surprises. The Star Wars hallmark of strange, humorous aliens in hilarious situations is intact.

Of Alden Ehrenreich, well, he is not Harrison Ford any more than Roger Moore was Sean Connery. He does a fine job, and that, more than anything, is the issue. The role demands something very special, and Ehrenreich only hits that mark occasionally. But to say that his performance ruins the film is hyperbole in the extreme. Just more hater talk. And Emilia Clarke??? WOW...She is fantastic. Thandie Newton is under utilized in the extreme but in a way that only makes sense if you really pay attention later in the film. Pay attention to dialogue...

In the end, Solo is solid. Judged on its own, solo if you will, It's great, non-stop fun. In the franchise of Star Wars it pales against the brilliance of TESB or Rogue One, but then again, everything does.

You'll want more of Donny Glover and less of L3. And that is a very good thing.… Expand

Haters are gonna hate because they hate every time a Star Wars movie isn’t The EmpireSo half of the audience reviews are people who haven’t seen the movie, but just “think this will be trash”. Or are boycotting because of reason x,y,x. Haters are gonna hate because they hate every time a Star Wars movie isn’t The Empire Strikes Back, clearly the best of the lot, A film which people forget was assaulted by critics when it came out, is now the unattainable height by which all Star Wars movies are unfairly measured. Is this movie that good? Of course not, no movie is that good and never will be. Accept this fact and stop depriving yourself of the possibility of enjoyment. My goodness. Do you need to check your expectations at the door? You might if you are expecting Empire or a life-changing moment in your life. If on the other hand you are a person who can appreciate the good in something without all this absolutism...."Its the best ever" vs "It destroyed star wars and my life forever"...and you can just go see a movie in a universe you love, with characters you want to see. Then you have a great treat in store for you. And that is not to take anything away from this film. It works exceptionally well more often than not. This movie isn’t perfect, but it is a Star Wars movie to its core, probably more so than some of the new trilogy movies. I had so much fun at this movie. As I watched this movie I could feel my childhood self screaming with glee in my head while my adult self yipped with joy aloud. This movie succeeds in a lot of ways, most of them. For someone to say this movie is rotten is just laughable to me. The look of the movie alone is worth the price of admission. Fortunately you get so much more. This is the funniest Star Wars movie, but still a very action packed movie. I’ve heard some people say it had “slow” parts. I guess, but I think some of my favorite moments were just hanging out on the Falcon, shooting the breeze for a few minutes with these characters I love. The moments where i could just be allowed to float in this world without the story being crammed at me like sometimes it is in blockbuster movies, were wonderful. The beginning is a little rocky, but 15 mins in and it starts to find its footing. Halfway through the second act I felt like I was inside an expanded universe comic. It was really a fun time. I think this movie is going to age really well. It has some scenes in it which are the best of any SW movie, even the original trilogy. Don’t listen to the haters. This is a quality adventure that was really needed. I haven't had this much fun in a movie in a long time. One of my favorites immediately and it expands the universe in great ways.… Expand

This is how most of this so called"Oh,look! Another Star Wars movie. Unite the angry Fanbase and give them a notepad to write everything wrong with it so that they'll make their own rant! (and to give CinemaSins a run for their buck)”
This is how most of this so called “Fanbase” works,whenever one of these movies comes out (*POP* I liked Last Jedi).
But when we talk about Solo A Star Wars Story,I can say that it was a fun ride,aside from the Development Hell this movie went through. Going into it,I was expecting a Heist Movie with the same veins of a Steven Soderbergh one,and it was that,with some haunting places,a John Powell score that never disappoints and (almost) great casting.
You may want to cool down your expectations if you want to see a good story with the big spectacle we usually expect from a franchise like Star Wars.
From beginning to end,it just felt like a great big action sequence (of 2h15) that takes place in several places with a story that's easy enough to follow,given that the movie doesn't know when to spend its time on either the friendship between Solo and Chewie or the big heist with Woody Harrelson as Beckett.
Speaking of the actors,I thought Alden Ehrenrich could have been good as Solo...If the script didn't give him some of the most cringey Fanbase moments of all time.
“I hate you” “I know”
Although the secondary cast was a better ensemble than I thought it was going to be.
Emilia Clarke as Qi’ Ra? Good!
Jon Favreau as Rio? Kind of annoying,but still good.
Paul Bettany as Evil Vision? Boy...
But Childish Gambino AKA Donald Glover as Lando Carlissian STEALS the movie.
Not only that,but also the massive wonderment of a score by John Powell that, just like Ice Age The Meltdown and Robots,makes it for another standout that carries the movie,accompanied by a courageous theme by John Williams.
Oh,and big special effects and one of the greatest title card appearances of all-time (Thor Ragnarok and Guardians Of The Galaxy BEWARE).
You can call this the “Fun Star Wars” if you go into it with the right amount of expectations. Don't expect an Empire Strikes Back,but also don't expect a Rogue One,although a better movie than the prequels you can. All in all,sure,never tell him the odds...At some point.… Expand
