I think this would have worked better as a series about Solo's young adventures but an entertaining film!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie feels less like a cohesive story and more like a collection of fun scenes loosely connected by the plotline of "Han wants to find the friend he lost at the train station." Acting is great, visual design is great, score is great, characters are mostly solid, and it answers plenty of questions, but the plot is so unapologetically halfhearted and unmemorable that it's difficult to call it truly great. Still, it's good fun, and overall a solid film. Not the best film in the series, but it's flaws aren't nearly as glaring as some others, and it's overall well-made. It's... good.

Who is this Han Solo, where did Chewbacca come from, what is this Millennium Falcon spacecraft and much more will this film show. And almost at the end of the film there will be a return of one very unexpected character. All the actors showed their characters perfectly and the main star of this whole Han Solo party, performed by Alden Ehrenreich, turned out great!… Expand

An anthological film without infamy and without praise, which however is pleasant thanks to the performance of Alden Ehrenreich (very underrated actor) who manages to impersonate Han Solo almost as well as Harrison Ford. If not even better.

Soooooooo much fun. Packed with action, style, romance, and some genuinely funny moments. I liked it the first time I saw it, loved it the second, and since has become one of my absolute favourite Star Wars films.

I didn't have any expectations going into this one, but I ended up being happy. Generally speaking, it was a good action movie with a logically developed plot and likeable or at least fascinating characters. The only thing I really didn't enjoy was when Lando's droid started ranting about equal rights for droids, which was one of the things I despised about The Last Jedi. However, it wasn't terribly distracting and did in fact slightly advance the plot. I can't think of anything else I didn't like about it save that. It's definitely worth a look.… Expand

SoloYTDec 27, 2020

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie felt like it was trying to check off all of the boxes for what a Star Wars fan expects out off a Han Solo film. Show how Han meet Chewie; check. Show how Han meet Lando; check, check. Show how Han did the Kessel Run; check, check, check. Show how Han won the Falcon from Lando in a game of Sabacc; check, check, check, and check. It felt like the plot was jumping between important events in Han's life without much time to breath, like they were trying to tell his entire life story in under 2 hours. Let's start with discussing the lead, Han Solo. Alden was actually quite good in the role, we get to see Han being scoundrel with the heart of gold we all know him to be. We see how those who we cared about in his life all let him down causing him to "grow up" and pretend that he doesn't give a crap about anyone outside of himself. However the movie focuses so much on him that the supporting cast fades into the background. Lando is portrayed by Donald Glover who does a really good job of portraying a young, irresponsible version of Lando. Chewbacca finally rips someone's arm off and is saved by Han like in legends.

I would like to have seen more of what happened to Qu'ra after she was captured and to have explored her relationship with Dryden a little bit more as well as spending more time setting up Beckett to be the perfect foil for Han. Best character: Han Solo duh

Best moment: When Han first challenges Lando in Sabacc, also all of the parallels with Casino Royale. Don't get me started on L3-37

Final Assesment: it's fine… Expand

SoInitially I had never decided to watch the Star Wars Anthology movies, since I only wanted enough information to understand what the franchise is all about. I watched the movies (IX hadn't come out yet), and I really liked the storyline. So that is why I decided to watch this movie because I had really grown into liking Han Solo, and I didn't like how he was given such an unfair death. And so I decided to give this and Rogue One a watch. Unlike conventional audience, however, I liked Solo and didn't like Rogue One (the review is on my profile, in case you want to know why).
Solo is the only Star Wars movie that I was able to understand in my first viewing. English is not my first language and I watch the movies without the subtitles to hone better command over the language. This is why its campiness didn't bother me, but rather made me like it even more. Although the actor didn't really look like Harrison Ford, I was happy to just see him do something on the screen. That coupled with the amazing CGI and cinematography made this movie worth a watch.
I really liked the story. The beginning part where Han is trying to get himself a better life really made me feel uncomfortable in a good way. Seeing the scene I could feel how miserable Han was feeling at the moment. He only wanted a better life for his woman, and ended up being taken away from her and getting drafted. His meeting with Chewbacca felt very tense even though we all know they are going to be friends. The train robbery scene was also very cool, although I don't remember too much about this movie. It has been very long since I watched it.
As long as Solo helped in adding more to my favourite human character's lore in the franchise, I'm all good with it. It's great to see a movie which is all about Han Solo and Chewbacca, completely free from the influence of Luke or Leia. I really hope Star Wars makes a third movie in the anthology so that we can have a complete fourth trilogy.… Expand

Good thing that happened because fans will connect and relate to a character named L337, the leftist SJW. My favorite character, close second is Rey. I hope the toys are selling well.… Expand

I like how it connects into its position in the 'Star Wars' universe, sometimes you can tell they jumped through quite a few hoops just to make certain things work but I think they did an admirable job.

I've loved han solo my whole life since I learned he existed, and I definitely enjoyed this film, but that isn't necessarily the point. What I mean to say is that this is a film and it has plot twists, set ups and payoffs, it is a film with stuff going on! I am happy that we at least got this one single look into the expansion of the universe we all love so so much, I guess what I'm saying is if you hated this film because it added, or changed something about a character that you love and identify with, I guess you just don't get how people work, I dont know if you are the same person that you were when you were 25 or 10 even. Okay, now to get past the preconceived negativity I've seen echoed everywhere that has a message-board. I REALLY LIKED THIS FILM, but more importantly, when I looked into the structure of the film, it became clear how much of a mark A beautiful mind Director Ron Howard had left in the production, the methodical and constantly repositioning narrative is the result of business outside the directors hands ie. The condensation of a 3 movie pitch, being compressed down to a one movie pilot, with hope for more, and so many fans WANT more, but there were several films of the star wars brand that had released by the time this film came around, I think its honestly just a combination of OT fan boys hating anything new that doesn't fit into their preconceived structure for what makes a Star Wars, and the absolute mammoth brand fatigue in a world filled with enough superheroes to destroy the multiverse. ANYWAY, most importantly, if you read this review and you are on the fence about seeing the film, just find a way to watch it with friends, think about it as the start to a bigger story, the way Ep. IV did, the effects, the racing, the atmosphere and constant high speed world building, this film is one of a kind and I hope to God we get another, I would be so psyched for more Lando, played by the incredible successor to Billy Dee, Donald Glover.… Expand

While I admit that The Last Jedi was a failure in story telling and use of old and newThis movie was the scapegoat for The Last Jedi and the only Star Wars movie that made loses (Never thought that the last point was even possible). While I admit that The Last Jedi was a failure in story telling and use of old and new characters it has nothing to do with this movie. It is the retelling or better said a reboot for the backstory of Han Solo. Before the movie I don't thought it was necessary. The backstory was well established in at least seven Star Wars books I read and some comics I heard of. After seeing the movie I was satisfied and will say the movie was worth watching. I should mention that the initial directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord left the project because of creative differences (There are many rumours circulating about this). It was most likely a critical loss for the movie. Look at their filmography and you will get a glimpse of what was possible. But back to the movie: You see Han grown up in poverty chasing his dreams in a cruel galaxy. Then there are of cause the meeting with Chewbacca, how he get the Millennium Falcon, the Kessel run and there is a heist. The characters are excellent. Alden Ehrenreich is a fitting Han Solo. He is naive and a rascal (all meanings of the word!) at the same time. Donald Glover as Lando is the best character in the movie. He is interesting, charming and has always an ace in his sleeve;-). The rest of the cast is impressive. I like Emilia Clarke as Qi’ra (Top rascal), Woody Harlson as Tobias Becket (Scoundrel of all traces master of some) and the social justice robot L3-37 (So entertaining, should have more screentime). Chewbacca (Jonas Suotamo)is a different case. I think he does also an excellent job but should have a bit more screen time (Also the costume dilutes his skills. How did Andy Serkis avoid this?). All characters work well together, have believable motives and interactions. The story delivers what you expect in a good way with some surprises and good fan service. There are no complaints in this regard. The pacing is good as are the settings and visuals. The music is always top notch in a Star Wars movie. There are of cause some things that are negative: The scene where Han gets his surname is ridiculous. I want to know more how Qi’ra got there were she is. If you see the surprising cameo end scene you will fully concede (Would have the potential for an even better movie). Overall a movie worth my time even it it will not be in my top ten for the year. It is much better than many people will make you believe.… Expand

Solid enough action adventure, in a very familiar looking Star Wars universe. Lots of action set pieces and locations, but nothing new in terms of a story.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did wait longer to see this at the cinema that I would normally do, much because of the horrible Last Jedi. But this one was much better!! Exciting, no dull "laughs" every 5 minutes, good characters (and acting), fun surprises and over all a good scifi-western. Han Solo was younger, unexperienced and may not have known himself as good here as he does further down his storyline. So I think this is the right way to do this movie, because Han will progress! And thank god he shot first!!… Expand

Not Perfect, But Decent
Solo may not be as good as the previous 3 Disney Star Wars movies (I apologise if I p*ssed anyone off by saying that), Solo is still a decent, if unnecessary prequel about Han Solo.

IThis is the most fun I had watching a Star Wars movie, since probably when I was a kid. Many people complaining seem to be stuck in nostalgia and expect every star wars movie ever, to look and feel exactly like the originals in every way. I like the new ones, but they also are a bit formulaic and somewhat boring even at times. (I fell asleep during Rogue One). This film is very creative and reminded me of the imagination and joy of watching the original star wars movies, more so than really any star wars film since. The recent ones all have a kind of heaviness to them, which is great for story and drama, and I like them as well, but this film is more joyous, creative, and more fun to me. If you like Star Wars at all, you should definitely see the movie, and see what you think as...the "poor" reviews made me wait this long and I don't even know what such people are looking at.

It has a few things that were not of my liking, such as the pointless deaths of Rio and Val, the 'droid rights' activism from L3-37 (which I think is rather annoying and unnecessary), and the fact that it's not very sinister or dark considering it's a crime film. On the other hand, it counts with impressive acting talent, beautiful visuals, interesting additions to and from the SW lore, and a rather unique aesthetic design for the beloved Millenium Falcon. It may not be the best film out there, but Solo is a definite recommend, not just for SW fans, but for anyone.… Expand

It had the minimal amount of dragging and useless dialog. It had the right amount of action scenes which where perfectly executed and kept simple and believable but still managing to 'wow' the audience. It also satisfied most of fan expectation shedding light to a very interesting, fun and entertaining back story of one of the most important major characters in the Star Wars universe.
The acting was very good, and top notch by every single one of them. The directing was done with great care as well, just as the scenes and the script suggests the work of a professional. Also the story was very good and entertaining and also kept real to the environment and previously set rules of the world and other story lines in it. The humor was very fitting and added another layer of entertainment to the movie.

Acting: 8
Plot: 7

The second instalment of Star Wars Anthology explores the adventures of young Han Solo in his early day as a smuggler before the events of Rogue One and Episode 4: A New Hope.

In an attempt to escape from a local criminal gang, young Han Solo (Ehrenreich) is separated from his lover, Qi'ra (Clarke), whom got captured by the gang. To avoid being capture as well, Han sign up for the Imperial Academy to be a pilot but he is expelled three years later due to insubordination and become an infantry.

During the Battle of Mimban, Han rescue a Wookie named, Chewbacca, and they together escape the battlefield with a criminal gangs led by Tobias Beckett. Han and Chewbacca worked together with Beckett in a heist to steal a shipment of coaxium, a powerful hyperspace fuel but it was a failure due to interference from Cloud Riders and the destruction of coaxium.

Han, Chewbacca and Beckett report back to Dryden Vos, a crime boss in Crimson Dawn syndicate about Beckett’s failure as he was working for Vos. Han also reunite with Qi'ra (who now works for Vos as top lieutenant) and he proposes to Vos that he will steal another shipment of coaxium to make up for Beckett’s failure and pay the debt. Together with Qi'ra, Han and his team locate a man named Lando Calrissian (Glover), who will be able to aid them in their mission.

Although Han and Lando are not portrayed by Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams, Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover have done a great job with their portrayal of the characters. Same goes to Emilia Clarke as well who have done a great job in her acting. There is also some important Easter Eggs as well as a huge surprise cameo which I do not expect it at all. However, the pacing of the movie is little too fast and could have been a little longer runtime. While the movie does serve as a good entry to the franchise, it does not really add anything new. Personally, I felt this movie is would be better off as novel or a television series.

Despite the taking over as the director during the late production, Ron Howard deserved to be praised for direction as he managed to make this movie enjoyable to watch which I personally thought this movie could be ruin due to behind-the-scenes shenanigan but he has done everything he can. If you want to know more about Han Solo’s background, this is the movie you would want to watch. Other than that, this movie does not directly connect to other instalments unlike Rogue One.… Expand

As far as I'm concerned The Last Jedi earned every bit of the negative backlash it received. Solo, taken on it's own merits, is actually a decent film. It's a nice entertaining Star Wars story about how Han Solo met Chewie and got his ship. Not every Star Wars film has to be have the fate of the galaxy at stake. It's nice to see a more contained character driven story about a much smaller problem. There were a lot of little eater eggs for hardcore Star Wars fans which I absolutely loved (The bag guy knows Teras Kasi and fights with vibro knucklers. I nearly died when I saw that).

The film also appropriately addresses the Han shot first debate by canonically showing you that Han is absolutely the type of person who shoots first.… Expand

The fatal flaw this movie suffers from is that it gave priority to introducing the characters over introducing its main plot and setting-up its story and the world it take place in. This resulted in making me interested in almost eachThe fatal flaw this movie suffers from is that it gave priority to introducing the characters over introducing its main plot and setting-up its story and the world it take place in. This resulted in making me interested in almost each character, but this absolutely wasn't enough to make me care for them when they are in danger as much as I should. Case in point, the first battle in which I didn't feel the least threat to the characters. But the biggest problem here is that I was nearly lost in the story. I was having fun seeing the characters react and talk, especially because they all have great chemistry with each other, but that definitely isn't what a movie need to be good.

Fortunately, the things got progressively better after the first act till this flaw completely diminished and then entirely disappeared. With that in mind, I became totally invested in the story as much as I was, and was still, invested in the characters.

The battle scenes, and the action set-pieces don't seem fresh or new, and that's exactly what made them so much fun to watch. Ron Howard shot the action sequences in a very classical way, and that's made me feel as I was watching one of the original trilogy's movies. That was very nostalgic!
Almost every scene that takes place inside the Millennium Falcon is staggering! Notably, the long battle scene that appeared in the movie's trailer. This scene is my favorite scene in the entire movie; it is a very intense scene that put me on the edge of my seat, add to that it showcases how terrific the chemistry between our main characters is. Ron Howard's vision of the Millennium Falcon is really looks fresh.

The action isn't the only thing in Solo that feels old-fashioned, but that applies to almost every aspect in this movie, most notably the denouement of the plot. The plot has classic plan that has plenty of back-to-back twists and turns near the end of the movie. Most of them worked pretty well, and I really was fooled many times, except the last one that was downright dull and stupid.

Alden Ehrenreich did a great job as the titular character. It's not like he was the only choice to play Han Solo, but he did his best embodying the character, and walked the fine line between coolness and imprudence that I couldn't help but imagine Harrison Ford's face watching him In action. In addition, Han's scenes with Chewbacca are magical as always.
I was worried about Emilia Clarke playing a Star Wars character, simply because I'm not a big fan of her, but she really proved that I was wrong just at the first scene she was in, and I found myself related to her character very fast.
Woody Harrelson is fantastic as always, and had a great chemistry with every actor he appeared with. Also, I loved his character. I think it has some depth, and that's the case with all the main characters.
Donald Glover just nailed it as Lando! He has an unparalleled charisma that really suits his character pretty well that I can't imagine any actor except him playing this role.
But there is one particular character, and one particular performance that really got my attention, and standed out for me. The performance is Thandie Newton's as Val. Her character has a very small role in the movie, but Thandie Newton took this character to another level, and made it one of the most interesting side characters in the movie.
As for the side character that I loved so much, it's the stubborn droid, L3-37. She was a scene-stealer with her funny lines and jokes that are rarely miss, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's vocal performance was impeccable!

Speaking of the humor, unlike The Last Jedi, this movie didn't try too hard to make its jokes funny. The purpose of the humor here is to keep the movie light-hearted, instead of making us laughing. That being said, most of the jokes worked well for me, especially those which cane from the comic relief character, L3-37 as I mentioned above. To be honest, there are a couple of jokes that fall flat for me, not necessarily because they aren't funny, but because the timing of these jokes was very imprecise, and they didn't match the tone in some particular times.

The visual and sound effects are top-notch as any recent Star Wars film. So I hope the movie gets an Oscar nod in at least one of these categories like every Star Wars movie so far.

Overall, I enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story so much, and I wasn't expecting that at all. It's a fun old-fashioned fast-paced action flick that can satisfy any one who wants to watch an entertaining movie while having some popcorn. This movie by no means deserves the hate it got.

If you can instead seperate this movie from Han Solo and watch it as an extended universe/smuggler/anti hero movie, then it does actualy come to life alot more. Some nice tie ins to the SW universe and some very cool scenes put this movie ahead (atleast in my opinion) of all the Disney Star wars films to date.

Putting it bluntly this movie should never of been about Han Solo, it's simply not good enough and to try and capture the feeling of Harrison Ford as Han Solo was never going to work

Tie Fighters in the Maelstrom Score(0/5) They would never do this(they shouldn’t have followed them into the asteroid field in TESB either.)

Going back to save your friends score(10/10) This was the moment when the movie became more than a 3 star experience.

Kessel Run Score(5/10) As far as I’m aware there is no canon of Star Wars reference data which contains the official explanation of the use of “parsec” to measure the trip. Whether it’s a boast about the ships speed or it’s navigational technology is still up in the air. And Han’s boast in Episode IV is about the ship’s speed so the theories about the ship’s navigation make no sense. This would have been the perfect place to establish a canonical explanation.

“Less than 12 parsecs” Score(0/5) So is he rounding down or not?

Good Guy and Bad Guys Score(10/10) A excellent cast of characters, expecially the new ones. Much better new characters than in Episodes VII and VIII.

Lovable Droid Score(8/10) No R2d2’s here but still good.

Metanarrative Score(7/10) Still trialing the MCU here but making progress. I’ve been surprised how well I’ve liked the “gap story” movies. But they’ve still never reached the quality they had in Episodes IV – VI. It does seem that they’ll be continuing this story in later “gap story” movies.

Romance Score(Guy gets girl, guy loses girl, guy gets girl back)(20/20) A nice take on the classic storyline.

It plays out some new and familiar characters in ways that put them in a fresh light.... The movie takes you to many intriguing and well displayed places in the starwars universe, and builds the world without feeling boring or trite like *cough cough* some other star wars movies. The characters are written a tad bit off from the originals, but in such a way as to still do them justice as they are younger and possibly have a slightly different personality that isn't as chizeled as in the original trilogy (which i quite liked). Great CGI, great cinematography, great direction, and overall tremendous improvement in terms of general viewing experience. I finally didn't find myself sighing after every scene, nor did i get bored, or feel underwhelmed by the execution of the acting. I would watch this movie over any of the core star wars movies in the recent trilogy. I really don't see why half the people don't like it.... The robot was a tad bit out their..... but honestly.... It wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be... It's just a slightly more eccentric character than C3PO.... Really don't understand the hate... people just want to hate on everything starwars... which i completely understand... but i was thoroughly surprised to find that the movie was above my expectations.… Expand

Much better than people are giving it credit for. With Rogue One the best of the new Star Wars films. Great cast, sweet action scenes and leaving me wanting more.

This movie has become one of my favorite Star Wars movies now and I think it will become another classic down the line. The characters all feel believable in the Star Wars universe; especially Han Solo. It's awesome to see his arrogance brewing when he is young and also how clumsy/innocent he was about the world. He still has that charisma and charm that feels like Han Solo. The other supporting characters were awesome too and felt equal in importance to Han Solo. They were all great additions and I hope to see them return in later sequels. The acting from everyone was terrific. The action was top notch; way better than M:I-Fallout. I also loved the humor in this entry. As well as the romance. There were a lot of unexpected surprises in the movie that made me smile. Overall, I can't wait for the next movie that follows this plot line. It's the best modern Star Wars movie lately!… Expand

In this movie, there are no major transgressions against the established lore (see the hyperspace Kamikaze maneuver in The Last Jedi) or questions left unexplained (see "Who even IS Snoke?" and "What was the point of the Dark Side Hole?" in The Last Jedi). So, what is there? What is this? Well, it's simply a fun backstory movie for Han, Chewie and Lando, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. Whatever the characters do makes sense, the plot is simple but there is just enough at stake with just enough twists that it still makes sense (unlike The Last Jedi, like seriously WTF was that movie?) and the humour is pretty fitting for the younger versions of the characters we already know. Where Rogue One was gritty and impactful, where The Force Awakens was fresh and exciting, where The Last Jedi was pretentious and confusing, Han Solo is lighthearted, enjoyable and very much re-watchable.… Expand

Si dejamos de lado el flojo guión, técnicamente es de las más correctas de la saga además de respetar el canon de la época de GL. También hay secuencias de acción muy buenas.

I hated Last Jedi and thought it badly written, full of glaring plot holes, politically motivated and a sad way to kill of key characters. Now enter Solo, a movie I had very low expectations of after Last Jedi and some average reviews. Personally I think this is a great Star Wars movie, no political crap thrown in, no plot holes just a solid movie that back fills the story of Han Solo's rise to become a smuggler and meeting some characters we know well from other movies.

It has all the ingredients I needed for a good Star Wars movie, without ever elevating to becoming a true great like Empire. However it's not that kind of movie, it repairs some (only some) of the damage that Last Jedi did to the franchise. Keep up the good work guys, I would be very happy to see Solo turn into a trilogy or beyond.… Expand

I thought it was pretty good. It might have been a little bit too long, but it was fun while it lasted. I'm so sad it bombed. 7/10.

Hey! A recent Star Wars movie that doesn't suck! It's not as good as Rogue One by far, but it's 4 points out of 10 higher than the abomination that was the Last Jedi.

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

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" was a good movie, although a bit slow to what the Star Wars rhythm had us used to, the performances were good, and the special effects and photography were great for their time.
