Solo: A Star Wars Story (Ron Howard, May 25, 2018) Movie • Page 90

Ya gone and fucked up. Hahaha

 

It was better than TLJ

 

I like watching movies in my home way more than the theatre so I'm kinda ok with it. Heh.

 

I hear you on that. I have a six and a half month old. I don't have time to be going out and dealing with other people.

 

I have no kids and feel this way.

 

”Star Wars underworld” are 3 words to get me excited

 

I'm down for another one for sure. Looking forward to watching this one again.

 

Gonna get this on digital and view for the 2nd time tonight.

 

I know, right? I was prepared for a total turd with all the BTS drama, but it’s super fun and enjoyable. My favorite? Nah. But it earned a place amongst the other films.

 

The imperial academy scene 100% should have made the final cut.

 

I loved that one. Alden is so charming.

I’m watching the round table discussion and it’s so great. It would be neat for the same thing to be done for Ep 9.

 

got this on Prime and the audios all fucked up

 

Pre-ordered that Steelbook

 

Watching this for the first time now. For some reason, it doesn't ~feel like in ten years this guy will be the Han from Episode IV, but I'm really enjoying Alden's performance/this whole movie so far. Very fun and intense at parts.

 

I really really like the 2nd act of this thing. The characters just work so well together, dialogue and performances are as solid as it gets for this series (aside from Adam and daisy being the high bar)

 

Just watched this last night and wow was I pleasantly surprised.

To me, a lot of this really captured the Star Wars adventure feeling that I personally didn’t get from Rogue One or TLJ.

I thought the performances were great. Yeah this Han is a little different but none the less a lot of fun to watch.

I really do hope they dig into the underworld a bit more.

 

saw this in theaters and enjoyed it a ton, I'll wait for it to hit Netflix or another premium channel to watch again.

 

yeah i look forward to watching this again

 

Alden is so good at being a young Han Solo it's kinda crazy. When he said "we got the pilot" and pointed to himself I absolutely loved it.

 

I was against this film from the start. From the literally THOUSANDS of interesting ideas they could have chosen for stories to tell in the Star Wars universe, an origin story for Han Solo honestly had to be one of the absolute worst and least exciting, void of all creativity and imagination, shrinking the universe in on itself when these movies should be doing the exact opposite.

I watched the film on my own at home and was honestly extremely impressed at how good it was. Both Ron Howard and Alden Ehrenreich stepped into situations where they were screwed from the start and they both did incredible work.

The reaction to this film from the world at large, and more specifically from Lucasfilm, has me fully on its side now. Just looking at the film that's on screen and what that should have cost to make, I really feel like $393 million in box office should have been more than enough to consider it a success.

Lucasfilm really seems to be taking the wrong lessons from this whole situation too. I don't think it underperformed due to 'Star Wars Fatigue’ or oversaturation in any huge way. Firing your original directors at the end of production and hiring someone else to come in and film an entirely new film is a really expensive way to make movies. Add this to the fact that this is a story nobody was really asking to see, and a film that recast one of arguably the most iconic and recognizable roles in cinema with a new and untested actor and I just don't see how this movie was ever going to do the kind of numbers they were looking for.

They really seem to have a problem with not being on the same page as their directors and not realizing it or addressing it until very late in production.

 

Just put this on, been looking forward to it all day.

 

How has there not been more discussion about how the climactic scene of this movie is essentially just a sword fight in a living room? I thought this was wonderfully subversive, especially for a Star Wars movie where the norm for third acts is blowing up a planet-sized object of some sort.

 

I liked it in theaters but enjoyed it quite a bit more the second time around. Really love Aldon's performance.
