Whether we follow Han Solo through hyperspace for more adventures is up to Disney, but what we got here is enough to keep us coming back again and again...That’s the best kind of Star Wars movie.

After a rough start, the film achieves escape velocity to generate escapist thrills.

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.

This is the movie that made Han Solo a pop culture icon today. Fans have always begged for a Han Solo prequel and from source material, we are doing what we can to please the fans. We made a tough choice to release this at the same time as Infinity War, and well... Ok anyways, I made a choice to fire Phil Lord and Chris Miller because they were going to adapt some KOTOR **** out of my source material. The mouse wasn't happy so we hired some B-lister director. 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.

Solo: A Star Wars Story hits all its marks except the one it needed to hit most: accounting for one of pop culture’s most cantankerous charismatics.

Solo eventually finds its feet, and the movie gets better as it goes, but we feel throughout the tension between conflicting visions of Howard and original directors Lord and Miller.

Star Wars lore is woefully lacking in sex appeal — even Han Solo is more of a guy’s guy — but Glover has an unruly, charismatic elegance. He belongs in a better movie, but at least he perks this one up.

The result is a bland heist movie in space that does nothing unexpected and never justifies its existence.

Solo : A Star Wars Stoy Is Best In Disney Relese And Its One Of The Best Star War Movie Ever

It's not terrible, but the whole thing just ends up feeling very unnecessary and unwanted. It does add some okay world building and aspects of Han's backstory, as it was meant to do, but the other characters just feel so.... mediocre and the start is almost atrociously slow, but it is made up for with some decent action. Which is how I would almost describe this movie. It is okay. You can watch it, but I doubt you will be blown away, not an offensive film by any means, just... alright.

Following closely on the heels of “The Last Jedi” (the sequel which cemented the Woke Era of Hollywood), “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is the true litmus test of its era: will America pay to see a prequel based on a beloved Star Wars character? Will they do so, knowing the film will lean politically, disparaging the franchise they love? And if not, will the “modern audience” (which supports radical left wing politics) save the production? The disastrous failure of Solo says a lot about the damage political agenda does to cinema, especially when pushed on unsuspecting crowds.Solo: A Star Wars Story is a Woke production, conceived under a Neo-Marxist Hollywood which began its heyday with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Traditional Marxism posits that its principles must be disseminated thru every medium available. This imperative is called “Propaganda”. Politics is the driving impetus here, forcing art and entertainment to take a backseat. Narrative and script suffer heavily, while visual aspects are usually indirectly affected by unprofessional **** result is a dreadfully superficial script, written with little intent and no sophistication. There are rules to proper script writing, two of which are: never state the obvious and never verbally describe what you can visually present to the audience. Moviegoers don’t want a synopsis; they want to live the story. Statements like, “What’s the holdup?” or “A little close there, buddy!” which reference events the audience has already seen, are not proper dialogue. Solo's writer’s room is full of activists, not English grads! The horrible color palette is meant to add emotional weight, but only manages to impact clarity. “In media res” (starting in the middle of things) has become a contemporary requirement, not because of its storytelling potential, but rather because of falling viewer attention spans (a consequence of the Internet ****-Marxism seeks to “elevate” race and gender minorities by disparaging White males and their culture. That's why this film's female diversity hire sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s also why Lando Calrissian is extremely venerated and why Solo is written as the epitome of poverty and disgrace: an orphaned street urchin (race politics). Our childhood hero is robbed of his agency, presented as an uncharismatic, indecisive male; scrappy and hapless, in order to deprecate White males and the Star Wars legacy they love. Any success Han Solo achieves in this movie, is thanks to the women in power around him. This isn’t the storytelling trope of our times, nor is it an improvement on modern filmmaking; it’s hateful ideology, the destruction of legacy media and the abuse of the paying **** ends never justify the means, and Solo’s horrible political agenda completely mars its production, making its action sequences the only reason to see it. The wonderful cinematography, props and set design are a testament to the true professionals of Hollywood: film industry crews. Please help us fight political advertising in cinema: don’t purchase this film.

The plot is quite banal and flat. It seems to have the potential for a great development but it never gets going, it presents a character of Han Solo that is at times not very faithful to the one known at the beginning of the original trilogy (only to create a story in which the Rebel Alliance appears forcibly) but above all the story is boring at large and even the ending seems to be the result of a film about which we had few ideas.
