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

One of my favourite concept artists / illustrators, Ian McQue, worked on this. Really curious to see what he produced.
- His work is bonus Face_melter, love the buildings he draws.PhanLo

I liked Rogue One, but this has me worried. The rumors behind the various creative changes through the process ... along with the lack of Han Solo in the trailer for a movie about Han Solo, my hopes aren't too high at this point.
I'll still see it like a sucker, though.

So sad that what should be the most anticipated SW spin off movie can hardly even raise an upvote on a post here. Disney have fucked this franchise with the last 2 main movies, I hope they deliver anything even half as good as Rogue One, which frankly is very unlikely. Judging by it's problems and their fear of even releasing a teaser trailer 3 months before release date it's gonna be a crock of shit :(
- Just imagine what it'll be like 5–10 years down the line when every last drop has been wrung from which and whatever New Hope was hoped for.detritus
- indeed det.fadein11
- god you being sarcastic? lol. anyway, I'm pretty much done with it.fadein11
- ^ just in time for a reboot of the original trilogy!face_melter
- so much room for innovation with all that budget and talent but so fucking lazy. where's the latent gone. It's like it's given to you on a plate, I struggle tofadein11
- understand how its even possible to fuck it up so bad when you have major SW fans at the helm, people who grew up with the shit and still deliverfadein11
- lazy formulaic bullshit.fadein11
- latent = talent obvs lolfadein11
- anger leads to hate...MrT
- lolfadein11
- apparently kasdan's script was really great. so hopes are up. let em milk Star Wars imo. more fun than super heroes running around in silly costumes.inteliboy
- it's the same lazy shit as superhero movies though, that's how low they have gone.fadein11
- you're probably right. but superhero films get a free pass... there's what, 4-5 of them a year?inteliboy
- yep truefadein11

been putting on to fall asleep to. The woman and I both agree the best character/actor is chewbacca ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- mugwart0
humm ... might work. Is the light behind him indicating the force?

This was good to do other things to while playing in the background.

yup. this was really cute.
I thought I was going to hate the actor but I was rooting for him to pull it off and I think he did well enough.you can hate me now. ha.

I though it was good not great. Space heist movie. There were a couple of jarring bits but it overall i dug it.
I liked how it linked through to whats happened in clones wars.
It did kind a feel like a live action episode of rebels or clones wars.

Saw it last night. Again it feels like a weird duty as a fan, followed by the dirty lack of satisfaction you get after eating a happy meal.
Felt like two hours based on a missing 10 mins from a director’s cut nobody wanted (now with added CGI).When you-know-who takes off her mask near the end, I whispered to MrsT, “Royal Baby” and the lady to the other side called me disgusting.

That's not the real movie poster in the original post (thank goodness). It's a bogus one made by a fan.

Terrible.

Basically felt like there was no villain. That nest characters looked cool, but turned out to not actually be a villain, and the other boring looking dude with those laser daggers was barely in the movie.

I liked it. But the Enfys Nest character felt a little forced.
