Jason Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I looked for an old Solo thread to bump but I guess we haven't had a thread about it since the server implosion. Just got an email from Netflix about it. I guess I might watch it if it's "free". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 It would have been a better film if it wasn’t Han Solo and instead just some drifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I will say they did try a bit too hard to try and shove in any reference/easter egg they could possibly think of into the movie. But it's still a fun heist movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just finished it and what the hell is everyone bitching about? That movie was way better than people made it out to be and a lot of fun. And I didn’t think the guy playing Han did a terrible job either. I mean it wasn’t a perfect impersonation by any means but he got a bunch of his manurisms and the way he moved around. Enough that it felt like Han. Although his face when he smiled reminded me more of Dennis Quaid which made for an odd combo lol. Anyway I liked it, it was a fun ride and it def didn’t deserve all the hate it got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I also just finished it. I can say confidently that it was a series of events in which some things happened, with characters we know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because . . . 9 hours ago, legend said: I also just finished it. I can say confidently that it was a series of events in which some things happened, with characters we know about. This. It's just a bland, meaningless film that actually detracts from Star Wars' mythology in some ways without doing anything special or unique to at least justify it. It shoehorns a stupid, unnecessary amount of references and cameos and easter eggs into the movie and is bogged down by a repetitive plot and nothing even coming close to making me feel much of anything dramatically. It's just a very inert film. There are things I liked about it (I like Alden as Han Solo) but it was a very blah movie for me, and I love Star Wars and enjoy Ron Howard directed films more often than not. I don't think it's the worst film ever but it could have been a lot better and should have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokt Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I remember saying that this was my favorite movie of the Disney era Star Wars films when it was out in theaters. I'll watch it again at some point this weekend and see if I still like it as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't feel anything for anything that happened in it. It might be memorable for how unmemorable it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's still difficult for me to nail down my feelings on this one. I was rolling my eyes through a lot of it (basically every "clever" reference to the OT and those freaking dice) but those things didn't actively anger me like they seemed to do for some people. I liked the characters and the performances, but they deserved a better overall story. I could see myself choosing it when I'm in the mood for a little Star Wars, but probably with a drink or two.

Jason Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I thought a lot of people's problems with the movie went back to just immediately thinking "why the fuck is this necessary?" back when it was first announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of it, but there is also the fact that Lord & Miller were fired, and the report that Alden Ehrenreich needed acting lessons.

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's a pretty good movie just an unecessary one like Rogue One was. I'm glad it exists though as it's cool to watch and doesn't contain too many stupid moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
