I liked Solo.
(And the Last Jedi, and the Rise of Skywalker)
For some reason a Star Wars movie has to be absolutely PERFECT for it to not get TRASHED. (especially by Star Wars fans)
Heaven forbid a Star Wars movie just be good enough.
What used to be considered; a good movie with a few problems has become, a bad movie with a few good parts. And a perfectly fine, enjoyable film seemingly generates extreme hate and vitriol when it happens to be part of that particular film franchise.
Because I'm only a year older than Star Wars, I've essentially grown up with it being extremely influential on me, and my childhood. And, after Return of the Jedi was released there was an excruciatingly long period we all had to endure with NOTHING, until the prequel trilogy finally dropped more than 15 years later.
My brother and I called it the dark times lol and it WAS.
All we had from when I was like 8 onward was the original trilogy, over and over again and the Extended Universe. Which is basically just fan fiction with a passing, unspoken blessing from Lucasfilm.
Needless to say, going without experiencing the Universe I loved SO much gave me a very acute appreciation for anything new. And, although the prequels HARDLY lived up to the originals, most fans like me still accepted and appreciated them just as much.
If you're waiting for Lucasfilm to catch that nostalgic lightning in a bottle again, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. And, life's just MUCH too short for all of that!
I'm not suggesting that people aren't allowed to dislike the movies, or complain about them. Who the HELL am I to tell anyone what they can and can't enjoy!
All I'm saying is, people shouldn't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. And, a person is not wrong for liking something that you don't.
Temper your expectations, too. Because the higher your hopes, the further the fall.

I think the movie was great and Alden did a great job. If anybody else thinks they could do better. LOL. good luck. SOLO felt well paced and very interesting the whole time. The story was solid, good acting, .My only complaint is, certain scenes felt rushed but they do that with all new movies. Everybody is so ADHD theses days you have to have a billion cuts per second in the edit or people fall asleep.

I thought 'Solo was adorable and well done. I loved all the easter eggs and how deeply they explored the beginnings of Han's relationships with Lando and Chewbacca, as well as the events that lead him up to working for Jabba. Alden is a terrific young Han Solo and also seems like a classy guy in real life. Can't wait to see more from him.

I really enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story. It had a lot of action, great acting and respectful nods to the Star Wars universe. Seeing it again this weekend. All you who boycotted the film really missed a fun ride, IMHO.

Hes a cool guy and all but, he just is nothing like Harrison Ford as far as looks and personality. its like if someone replaced Robert Downey jr as iron man and they looked nothing like him.

I really liked his performance in the movie, and I like the guy in general. I'm glad to see that there's this general consensus of his performance being pretty decent.

For charity one day they should reenact the interior falcon scenes in ANH with Alden, Ewan, Sebastian Stan, and Anya Taylor Joy as Leia!

This movie was actually really good. Ive liked both Rogue One and Solo better than the two new latest movies in the main series.
