Solo A Star Wars Story - Movie Reaction

[Nostalgiabuff]

I have a huge problem with Kathleen Kennedy using the Star Wars films as a platform to push her social and political agendas. I'm not having it.

A feminist droid pushing droid rights?

honestly, that bugs the hell out of me too, but I love Star Wars so I will still go see what ever they put out. but yeah, the over the top feminist droid was too much

[CrimsonGhost]

If it's underperforming, it might be because a lot of people felt trolled by Last Jedi.

I personally love the trolling, but that film is a mess storywise. I've come to the conclusion that these new Star Wars films aren't made for me so I haven't made any plans to see Solo.

I haven't seen it and I'm not going to. Never thought I'd say that about a Star Wars film EVER. I have a huge problem with Kathleen Kennedy using the Star Wars films as a platform to push her social and political agendas. I'm not having it.

A feminist droid pushing droid rights? A pansexual Lando Calrissian? The Force is female? Nope. Not having it.

As far as I'm concerned Star Wars begins and ends with Episodes 1-6

It just bums me out that the world, for whatever reason, is kinda falling out of love with Star Wars. :(

I don't think it's that.

I think the problem is there's been too many movies so close together plus all the mountains of merchandise. It's oversaturation. People are a just a little bored right now.

This was set up to do worse based on fans' preconceived notions and the reaction to Last Jedi. People were ready to hate on it. I thought it was a fun movie, not anything spectacular, but it accomplished what it set out to do, which is to just make s fun movie, building on a beloved character. I also like it a little better than Last Jedi.

^Because most fans think Disney is out to ruin Star Wars. Which is stupid when you think about it. What would be the point? You sink billions of dollars into this franchise to destroy it? Yeah that makes sense.

[Hedji]

The film is underperforming, and that makes me a little sad. As Chris, said, what's not to like? This is not groundbreaking cinema, but it is Star Wars. These are the films I'd dreamed we'd get when I was a kid.

It just bums me out that the world, for whatever reason, is kinda falling out of love with Star Wars. :(

I enjoyed it.
Lots of neat references to the other movies and characters.
As a lifelong SW fan I had a few issues with various aspects of the film, but overall it was a lot of fun.

^I didn't get that feeling at all, so it may have been your theater. And the screen I saw it on is by no means the best either.

I thought it was just ok. It felt more like something that should have been on Netflix. I don’t know if this was just our theater, but it looked like it was shot through a dirty cloth filter.

[Earth 2 Chris]

My family and I saw it yesterday, and it blew past all of our expectations, which varied from semi-excited for it, to out right dubious. We all really enjoyed it, and although I am one of those who liked The Last Jedi, this is a much better time at the movies, no doubt about it. Great cast, story and direction. Lots of great Easter eggs, and some true WOW moments as well.

It's a fun Star Wars movie. What's not to like?

i will go see it this weekend. I am really looking forward to it. Han Solo is one of the coolest characters ever created

[phil]

I had low expectations but thought it was ok. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either.

[Makernaut]

I have been so relieved to read that this movie is enjoyable and fun to watch. I'm sure there are reviews out there from people that don't like the movie but so far I haven't seen any indication of it being the total crapfest that many people said it would be. Given how troubled the production of this movie was it seems a minor miracle that it is mostly well-received.

Lando is definitely the coolest dude in the Galaxy.
