I don't know exactly how to rank this one but I think it's one of the best three. Go to watch it whether you're a MI fan and make your own opinion. I'm sure you'll agree with me. And Cavill steals the show. Warner open your eyes; #ManofSteel2 Now!!!!

Sadly, as a Star Wars fan, I've found Solo disappointing. There's a lot of action, of CGI, of mithology and the reprise of a lot of John Williams' themes but is so predictable, it retakes so many scenes from the previous Star Wars movies and the jokes are so lame that I yawned many times along the second act, what never had happened to me with any of the previous SW movies. To pull out Miller and Lord and hire Howard once the production had begun and not giving him too much time to get involved in the process has resulted in a cold and one hundred times seen movie. Even the scenes that haven't been copypasted from the SW universe are easily recognizable form other films. It's closest to Howard's adaptation of the Robert Langdon's movies than the director that made Apollo 13 or Cinderella Man or Willow. The beginning is quite illustrative. The prologue and introduction of the main character lacks a bit of vigour but the worst moment is when the title of the movie appears...in the middle of the action. If the title would had appear once Han had achieved his task with an epic music that could have stablished the tone of the whole movie but instead it feels anticlimactic and defines the mood of a continuous deja vu whitout charm. The cast is really good except Emilia Clarke (who I love as Daenerys) that doesn't seems to get the character and passes more time trying to be cute than creating an identity. Maybe not her fault but Howard's. The best part of the movie is the third act even not being too surprising but at least has that firmness that I missed the two previous hours.

This movie takes no prisoners. Nothing is safe from the wit of the screenwriters (among them it's quite obvious why Reynolds is also credited) I don't want to spoil not even a second of the movie. If you don't have prejudices to hear profanities of all kind (related to isms, pop culture, marvel universe and anything you consider a tabu) and laugh on them this is your movie. Don't miss the wonderful cameos along the movie and the extra scenes at the ending credits. There're two blocks separated by a credit and the second one has four different scenes. The two last are probably the two best extra scenes ever. Nuff said. Warning: DC fans...maybe some jokes aren't suitable for the most fundamentalists amidst you.
