    I was blown way.
    A totally complete movie from start to finish.

    Fun, exciting, on the edge of your seat.

    If you think you can predict endings in movies. Yeah right, good luck on predicting the ending on Solo.

    Has moments of sorrow that will catch yourself not breathing.

    I could spoil and spoil and spoil.... but can't and wont.

    This star wars movie has reignited my love for episodes 4, 5 and 6.

    The humor is spot on, not too much, not too little, just right, with no clumsy one liner puns.

    The film score is equally dramatic and in tune with every emotion you own.

    My Hairs are raised reviewing this movie. Want to talk about it, but have to wait.

    Soooooo much to talk about. After the movie, in the hallway my group had a hour long discussion about what we all just witnessed in Solo.

    Jaw dropping reveals.

    First star wars movie I wanted to go back in for the next showing.

    Not one single solitary complaint, knock or any shade to throw on Solo.
    It is the "perfect" movie.

    Hats off to Ron Howard.

    I like that they kept true to George's story but I wasn' quite as impressed as you were.
    As for predictability...i predicted Han chewy and lando would all survive. I predicted correctly.

    I predicted it was going to be just another propaganda piece by dumbasses with their heads so far up their own exceptionally massive rectums they can't see the light of day. Then I predicted that as with TLJ I would not be indulging such foetid parasitic stupidity.

    Right on both counts. I should become a fortune teller.

    Great Movie, action from Start to finish

    I don’t understand why the movie isn’t doing better at the box office other than possibly Star Wars fatigue. It’s expected to take in $100 million this Holiday weekend far short of Rogue One which took in $155 Million over the first 3 days and The Last Jedi which took in $220 Million.

    Non-Spoiler Alert:

    Chewbacca kicks some serious ass
    Donald Glover was great in the role of Lando Calrissian
    Director Ron Howard after taking over half way through production pulled off a comeback comparable to Chuck Norris in Lone Wolf McQuade
    Harrison Ford will always be Han Solo in the eyes of Star Wars purists, but Alden Ehrenreich did a good job.
    And as Pete's Draggin' pointed out, there’s an unexpected twist at the end of the movie

    Go see it

    Part of the reason Solo's not doing well is because a large group of youtubers have been avidly & voraciously encouraging an en masse boycott of the film in a last ditch effort to try & convince Disney that Kathleen Kennedy ain't worth keeping around.

    Me personally, hell of alot of action's all good & fine but if a film doesn't have the rest of it's shit ironed out that sure ain't enough to save it. Ignoring the lore on droids & therefore turning every previous Star Wars character into a racist slave owning bigot is more than enough to make me say fuck no.

    And don't get me started on their apparent need to turn Lando Calrissian into a God- damned pansexual who'll sleep with anything that he sees. Fuck you Lucasfilm.

    It just ain't Solo if it ain't Ford.

    None of the above

    What Irms said.

    Han Solo is more about Harrison Ford than it is Star Wars

    I agree but what'd you expect? Lucasfilm hasn't made a strong, compelling, unique character since Lucas sold out to Disney. They have to retread ol' characters just to keep the franchise afloat. The closest they have is Kylo & compared with the characters from the original trilogy he's barely even a concept.

    Actually plans are already in the works for a Lando movie – really

    Listen I get it, the reason we could connect with Han Solo was because he was the only normal character in the whole star wars saga. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and Grand Moff Tarkin, were all interconnected, then Han Solo came along and got caught up in the rebellion.

    Ooo

    120 million 7 day total vs 220 million Rogue One had made in its first 7 days

    Yeah, its not doing crash hot, foreign comparison is even slightly worse

    Think that means you probably wont see half of these planned spinoffs

    I saw this last night. I was impressed with the set design.
     
  20. I thought it was cool that Lando was so pansexual. He even wanted his robot, she was right. How futuristic.

    I'm mostly jazzed 'cause I got a giant novelty Chewie cup.

    Prequels suck.
