Saw it last night. Didn't like it but it was also not as bad as I thought. These days I compare all sci-fi flicks to the stupid Superhero movies so usually can't get worse than those.
Most of the time "Solo" didn't feel like it belonged in the StarWars universe. Only when Chewbacca or the Milennium Falcon was present is when I really thought it was a SW related movie.
IMO the writing was bad and much of the art direction while done well it was not connected as well to the SW universe.
The industrial setting in the beginning of the movie and later on with the trains in the mountains felt more like the old school Blade Runner movie.
I wish they did more stuff in dry desert planets with weird creatures. Really missed weird creatures like Jabba The Hutt and his weird entourage.
- The Lando character did nothing to the movie, maybe it's just hyped because it's David Glover.
- Hated the robot with female voice because it sounded like a human voice was recorded and a quick filter was put on. It could've been done much better and more stylized or something more quirky like C-3PO.
- The hairstyles and clothing of all the other human characters felt disconnected from the SW universe. Especially if you look at the main evil guy, he might as well be a James Bond villain. The main female also felt too stylish in her appearance. Which was also something I hated about "The Last Jedi" and that woman with purple hair and dress that looked like she just came from a fashion show.
- Hated the octopus in space scene. WTF. I get it in the old SW movie there's a giant space worm but this giant octopus in floating in space seemed so stupid. How can a organic lifeform survive in vacuum of space, makes no sense.
- And it's a SW related movie where are the damn lightsabers damn it?
Disney will probably continue to milk StarWars in any way possible and do more spin-off's. I hope that future ones will be written and executed better than this one.
- David Glover.. LOLautoflavour
- exactly with the space octopus .. (leaving the whole vacuum of space argument aside, like what the fuck does it eat out there in the middle of space?)autoflavour
- I caved in and now going to watch on big screen (promised myself I wouldn't again after The Last Jedi abomination).fadein11
- also no prizes for guessing who the next spin off movie is going to be about .. big bad guy at the end.. (trying to at least not spoiler it) but yep,autoflavour
- Sorry, Donald GloverM01XXX
- So you want more weird creatures but can’t handle a space octopus? You know, it’s a galaxy far away, long ago, right?monospaced
- David Glover is a galaxy far far away enough it seems.fadein11
- Yes weird creatures but still respecting physics somewhat. Creatures like Jabba and those smaller ones. Even the Ewoks were fun. Octopus in space makes no senseM01XXX
- ^ Ewoks were not fun. Never forgive.CyBrainX
- it's pants cos they made it 'universal' and something they can sell in the Chinese market.shapesalad
- I ha'd at David Gloverdocpoz
- It’s quite possible that physics would allow life forms to suevice in a space vacuum, in a galaxy far, far away.monospaced
- Also, they break so many physics rules just going into light speed it’s nt even funny. Lighten up and let the fantasy work it’s magic.monospaced
- there's a train on rails in a galaxy thats conquered gravity, the space octopus is fine.fadein11
