So I am of the generation who got to experience Star Wars feom the beginning. Standing in a crazy ling line, literally wrapped around the local theater back in 1977 as a kid. Totally unaware I was about to see a movie that would become my central interest for all my childhood, early teens and once again as an adult. And all these years later, able to share this fandom with my own son.
I liked Solo. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it was a fun ride and it evoked the feelings that I associate with Stat Wars. The world and characters felt right. It showed us some cool new things about life in that world, living under the Empire. The amazing cityscapes of Corellia... It felt similar to me to Rogue One. Modern filmmaking techniques yet convincingly evoking the vibes of the classic Star Wars world.
Anyway, I just wanted to put in some positive review for this movie to contrast this strange wave of hate feom "fans" on here. I don't really understand it. I have liked something about every Star Wars movie there has been. Some are better than others. There are weaker moments in every one to be sure. But none are worth the irrational seeming hate some people are putting out there.
Solo is good and worth your time if you like Star Wars. Just one fan's opinion.

It doesn't deserve the hate. It's actually really good. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I think it's revolutionary for star wars,let me explain. This is a very different movie than the rest of the star wars movies. There are no lightsabers (well except that one time) and there is no darth vader or Luke skywalker, there isn't a fight between good and evil, it's more of fight between thieves. That causes that this movie feels very different, it almost feels like this is not a star wars movie. And that's great. A great change of pace. It feels more like a cowboy space adventure, which is something the mandalorian got praised for, but that series came out after this movie, so I guess that makes it kinda revolutionary, in terms of star wars movies. This is really cool. I like it. It's better than rise of skywalker so... One thing though: that L3 robot. I hated her, she comes up with the lamest jokes and serves no purpose in the story other than some weird "love story"????

So the latest in what is becoming a long running sci-fi franchise sees Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) get his prequel movie. Unsurprisingly, such is the ferocious core fan base of the Star Wars series, it has been met with a mixture of outright hatred to pats on the back appreciation. It really is a case here of jumping in to view it on its own terms to at least give it a chance. The truth is, is that if this was a stand alone movie being judged purely as a science fiction action movie, then it would be better appreciated. For this is cracker jack entertainment in that sphere, with superbly constructed worlds inhabited by delirious looking aliens species, feisty droids hold court, and the humans are daring, cheeky and even sexy. It is in short quality and fantastical sci-fi, even if in truth as per the Solo character trajectory it's safe film making.
We, as in the royal Star Wars fans we, all have our card carrying belief that our opinion on any Star Wars film is correct, but really the only advice I can honestly give here is that if you haven't seen it yet then at least give it a chance. Those that have seen it have their minds made up either way, so personally I can only say how much fun I had watching it - twice! All the dots are joined towards the Solo character I love so dear, from back when with childhood eyes in the late 70s I was transfixed on that big screen. How great to see how Han met Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and how their brilliant friendship begins. To witness the birth of the Han/Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover excellent) friendly rivalry - and all that that entails as regards our favourite spaceship - The Millennium Falcon. Yes, I like it well enough for sure, maybe you will as well? 7.5/10

Don't trust the bad reviews and definitely watch this film. It is a good story about how Han Solo came to be. Great performances by the cast. Good screenplay which keeps you hooked. And amazing CGI and visuals.

Better than I feared it would be, Solo is a different type of star wars film, which I welcome. No lightsabres, no mention of the force, and no big climactic battle.
Alden Ehrenreich is passable as Solo,I found myself warming to him towards the end. Emilia Clarke is completely wooden and the most memorable thing about Woody Harrelson is his bad wig.
Effects are excellent as you would expect, the set pieces (train heist, kessel run and the end fight with Paul Bettany are good. Only the middlesags because of Clarke's poor acting.
Worth a watch

Finally went to see Solo in his first...solo. I had reservations going in (1) I had heard ticket sales were sub par. (2) I questioned the casting of the lead role (we'll get to that later). I tried to keep an open mind to let the film stand on its own merit. It was a pretty solid summer sci-fi action film that had some laughs with some likeable characters that reasonably fits in the Star Wars mythology. The movie was predictable in the sense that it's a prequel and many points of story progression are predetermined. That being said, these points are woven into a story that flowed well that I actually had fun watching. This movie is a solid 7. My biggest reservation was and is Alden Ehrenreich. His depiction of Han Solo is not terrible but is rather dry and lacks the charm and wit of his predecessor Harrison Ford. We can't help but make that comparison and those are tough shoes to fill. I was admittedly jaded going in as there is a Star Wars fan film on YouTube called Han Solo: A Smuggler's Trade where the actor is the personification of a young Harrison Ford. He captures all the nuances and mannerisms of Han Solo and his depiction is on point. If there are any sequels to this prequel, maybe Ehrenreich can grow into the role and own it.

Because more than 2000 folks have already reviewed this film on IMDB, I'll keep my review very brief. After all...what's one more review among so many?!
The movie was a bit of a shock when I found it, as somehow I really didn't hear much about it and I wasn't even sure if it had yet debuted. Much of this is because after so many "Star Wars" films, I find that a sort of fatigue has set in...much like how I feel about all the super hero films. But, as I was on a 13+ hour flight, I wasn't in a position to be picky and decided to watch the movie.
I was surprised to read that the movie is only rated 7.0 (meaning it must have ticked off a lot of fans) and really made almost nothing at the box office. Much of this is because I actually enjoyed the picture...and more than I'd expected. The story about the young Han Solo is exciting throughout and I also appreciated its dark tone and willingness to kill off characters (much like the previous installment)...but perhaps this is why fans were not so impressed by this one. All I know is that I liked seeing a darker film and it kept my interest throughout.

Alden Ehrenreich as as a young, pre-Luke Skywalker Han Solo captures Harrison Ford's speech rhythms, and the character's anti-authority persona. We learn how friendships with Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian (an excellent Donald Glover) were formed, and how Solo came into acquiring his prize possession, the Millennium Falcon.
What I've always liked is how the character straddles the line between good and evil, while keeping his moral compass intact. Solo is no saint, but his false equivalency has limits. Emilia Clarke as his love interest is a woman of mystery, and the actress plays her like a femme fatale. The plot itself has a noir-type entanglement. Ron Howard's direction is dutiful to fan service, which is not necessarily bad. I found the production design a little uninspiring.
Standout performances include Woody Harrelson as a mercenary, and Thandie Newton as his partner. Also with Paul Bettany, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge voicing the scene-stealing droid L3-37, who is practically in love with Lando. Solo lacks the grandeur and emotional arc of Rogue One, but there's enough there to make it a decent viewing experience. This may sound like I'm damning it with faint praise. It just won't rank as high as other Star Wars stories.

For anyone who feels discouraged by the reviews, I tell you this: They're not complaining about the movie, they're complaining because they feel abused by a continous stream of movies from a beloved franchise. It seems ironic, I know, but having nothing for so long and suddenly watching different posters every six months, has to be confusing and bound to raise some eyebrows.
However, we have to look at it as objectively and simple as possible: If you love movies, you want to watch as many movies as you can. And if you love Star Wars, you love to experience the Star Wars' story! So all of this backlash for having so much of the thing you love is simply a tantrum that I hate to see on so many of my fellow Star Wars' fans.
This a very well made film that anyone can enjoy. Plot, acting, FX, Photography, Cast, etc. They did a great job with everything. Taking into account the enourmous pressure of making a film from such a historical franchise, I take my hat off for anyone who has the bravery to do this.
So, go and watch it, not with skepticisim, but with that natural feeling of curiousity and love you have every time you sit at the movie theater. I promise, you'll be pleased.

Despite being a huge fan, I had lost faith in Star Wars and Disney after the abomination that was TLJ and then the adverts for Solo. THE ADVERTS DO NOT DO THIS FILM ANY JUSTICE. I fully expected to hate it and ended up leaving the cinema completely shook. The casting is perfect and all of the lore is spot on. No ridiculously over comedic parts (like the ones in TLJ) Please give this film a watch, you will not regret it. FAITH RESTORED

The best Starwars movie from Disney so its the 4 best starwars movie as i see it.
Hope they come with a 2 movie in this series, they have 3 books that was written along time ago to work from.
Rank system i use is it can only be ONE movie that is the best and then get 10, to get a 9 it have to be something extraordinarily like Alien and so, a 5 is a ok movie nothing more nothing less its simple a mainstream movie.

Alden Ehrenreich doesn't have the charm Harrison Ford had as Han Solo, but Donald Glover nailed Lando. The ending kinda seemed all over the place. Han and Qir'ra's "relationship", if you could call it that, was weird and lacked genuine authenticity - there was really no emotion there.
There were a few moments that got me in the feels though, mostly hearing some familiar themes in the score when the main characters are in the Millennium Falcon's cockpit. The few Easter eggs and call backs to the original series were recognized and appreciated as well.
Don't think the movie deserves the hate it's received, but it's definitely not perfect. I liked a bit of the movie if you can overlook the above. Also was there even a real antagonist? Idk... Solo gets a 6.5/10... ("I'm rounding down")

Gone is the time when an aloof and mysterious character like Han Solo can stand on his own. When the pure imagination of fans opened up countless debates on how the Kessel run really went down, or how Hans eventually won the Millennium Falcon and eventually became a staple of his character. The hard truth is, fans and casual viewers already knew these milestones in Han's story happened and will happen, so the only thing that mattered about this movie was, how was it going to happen?
For awhile, the magic of Star Wars was that of not knowing what to expect and getting to analyze an entire lived-in universe by yourself or with your friends throughout the years. With Solo, that magic is lost. You know you will be dealing with limited stakes since Solo and Chewie are pretty much okay and surely alive after this movie. You know that it will hit the basic story beats of how he becomes an outlaw, a rebel and eventually the iconic smuggler with a secret heart of gold we all know and love. You know he'll get the Falcon, you know he'll end up with Leia anyway. There's no mystery here, everyone knows the answer and we're all left with awkward suspicions about how things will play out.
Alden Ehrenreich does a, for the most part, fantastic job as Han Solo and he makes the role his own, probably one of the better parts of this movie. Lando (Donald Glover) and Chewie both get their moments, and also stand out in their roles. Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke) weirdly fall flat as the new additions for Solo, aside from an obvious wisecracking droid to entertain us and give us some emotional moments, the two side characters that are meant to be the people that influence the title character are bland and uninteresting. Beckett seems to be just a ticket for Han to go follow him wherever he goes only to just ride backseat in the mission in the end. While Qi'ra plays the love interest of Han who we never get to know much about aside from pointless and explicit exposition. She also has a vague and messy arc that makes not just Han, but the audience confused as well. At one point, you're not sure where her allegiance lies, what her motivations are and what drives her to stick or stay away from Han.
Moreover, the story really doesn't aim to tell a properly structured narrative, instead it felt like a "Han's Biggest Hits Montage" all through out. Now this is not to say that it's hard and impossible to tell a proper movie about iconic persons/events we probably know about and/or have learned about and theorized ourselves. Rogue One (2016) was able to do it to an admittedly better extent, and quite masterfully in the James Bond reboot with Casino Royale back in 2006. To use Casino Royale as an example, it's a perfect story that shows how James Bond became THE James Bond we know and love, the commanding, suave and rough 007 agent. When the movie starts, he's not yet quite the Bond we're used to know yet, but what happens in that film contributes to why he changes. Then in the end, that's the only time we get the iconic line of James Bond introducing himself because that character has earned it through the context of the film. While Solo tried to achieve this same level of success, it falls hard on its knees really hard in the process. The definition of "context" the filmmakers had in mind with Solo was just throwing in fan service after fan service of what made Han Solo iconic, but we never really see why THIS character in THIS film in particular earned that iconic status. Han is basically the same person from the beginning till the end, compare this to James Bond in Casino Royale wherein his relationship with Vesper and how it ended changed his character forever, inevitably giving strong emotional and narrative context as to why he became how he is. This is never explored in the film and it instead becomes a by-the-numbers, monotone, and dull looking film.
Verdict: 6/10

Have so far been disappointed with the Star Wars revamp series. "Solo" is a refreshing exception. Stays true to characters, while introducing new ones that add to the Star Wars world, and genuinely enriches Han Solo's backstory. Well done! Also features a new score, and sets into motion important story events concerning the rebellion Han Solo would be a part of later. Recommended!
A criticism though: the woman who plays Q'ira is a bit too much like her role in Game of Thrones. At last though, there is a female in the new Disney revamp who isn't the typical Disney Princess heroine type. Kudos!

I went in with low expectations and walked out satisfied. Solo is pretty good. Is that a high enough standard for any Star Wars movie? That's a worthwhile discussion for another time. For now, let's focus on this movie.
All my concerns, all my worries about why the movie might bomb, melted away as I watched. Alden Ehrenreich is a good young Han Solo. He's not Harrison Ford, which was my concern, but no one is. It's an unreachable bar. Give the guy a fair shot to play this cool, funny, confident and somewhat naïve version of Han. He won't blow you away, but he won't greatly disappoint either.
Ehrenreich's performance is a microcosm of the entire movie-pretty good, not incredible. I'm okay with that.
Donald Glover as Lando is even better than pretty good. He owns each scene in which he appears. The movie was off to a slow and clunky start until he showed up and infused the story with some much needed suave and energy. Ehrenreich seemed to feed off his presence. Glover made him better.
The plot is a bit light. That may have been intentional, so there is more to explore in future Solo and Lando movies. But this movie did enough to keep me interested. When those movies come out, you can bet I'll buy my ticket.

Good Origin story not just made up for fans, took my girlfriend to see it who has not seen any star wars films and she understood and enjoyed it. Defiantly a recommendation ( don't listen to the haters) and can't wait to the sequel for it.

I enjoyed Solo and unlike the Last Jedi, found myself able to look past its flaws. Admittedly part of the reason for that is because my expectations were through the floor after TLJ, but at the same time, this film is not even in the same ballpark as that sad state of affairs.
If anything 'Solo' is almost too respectful to the source material. The first hour is great, but then it really begins to get bogged down in self-referential fanservice. The final scene of the final act works well however, and really does set up the sequel nicely.
Unfortunately we'll never get to see the sequel, as this is one of the costliest flops in box office history. That's a real shame as far as I'm concerned, as without the ridiculous droid, the incessant fanservice and the need to fill in a backstory we didn't necessarily want, or need - there's so much that can be done with this story.
Ehrenreich is simply magnificent as Han Solo, only equalled by the redoubtable Harrelson as his world-weary reluctant partner, and erstwhile mentor. These two could have made a formiddable team in a sequel, Ehrenreich just oozes charm and Harrelson is the perfect counterpart; but it's all moot now as this will never happen.
I won't go into the myriad elements which really suck in this movie. There are many and they are awful. But this film really does just do enough to justify another crack at it.
Alas, I guess.

For some reason people always compare new Star Wars movies to the originals and that's ridiculous. This movie was pretty much what I expected. If you're annoyed by lots of foreshadowing(is that what it's called in a prequel?) you'll hate this but at least you know that no one will say the title in the movie. It was nice to hear all the Solo quips but they evened it out by doing things like trying to make us think Lando is a danger to Han. And it was lame that Lando immediately mispronounces Han's name. When I heard Dong Lover was playing Lando I was worried but he was way better than the elderly Woody Harrelson trying to be an action hero.

I went to see this film on my own. So I guess I technically went to see Solo solo.
Not too bad. But yet another Star Wars story that for me, underwhelms.
Harrison Ford's shoes on such an iconic movie character from such hugely popular films were always going to be hard to fill, but Alden Ehrenriech grows into the part and gets a bit more likeable as the story goes on.
I would say he gets away with it.
His love interest - because there always seems to have to be a love interest - would've been much more fun if she would have brought her dragons over from Game of Thrones, but there is enough intrigue surrounding the journey she has been on to get where she is, as well as going forward, to keep her interesting.
Of course there are the usual action packed sequences with laser beams flying all over the place that never seem to kill the most important characters in any such scene.
And of course there are a number of backstabbings and doublecrossings that you would expect to be surrounding a back story around one such as Han Solo.
The origins of the relationships Mr Han had with the likes of Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian all seem a little contrived and ham-fisted to me and his love interest I didn't really care for given we all know how his relationship develops with Princess Leia later on in his life anyway.
There are some interesting new characters like Beckett played by Woody Harrelson, but it's hard to care about them and in general anybody in the movie. Add to this Paul Bettany's rather unconvincing scar-faced Arch-villain and it's all starting to look a little bit pedestrian.
For me, just another underwhelming Star Wars story movie that is worth watching for its action and set pieces, but nothing worth running to the cinema for.
I was left thinking just how many of these movies are they going to churn out before absolutely nobody gives a shit about them anymore?

The origins of the relationships Mr Han had with the likes of Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian all seem a little contrived and ham-fisted to me and his love interest I didn't really care for given we all know how his relationship develops with Princess Leia later on in his life anyway.
There are some interesting new characters like Beckett played by Woody Harrelson, but it's hard to care about them and in general anybody in the movie. Add to this Paul Bettany's rather unconvincing scar-faced Arch-villain and it's all starting to look a little bit pedestrian.
For me, just another underwhelming Star Wars story movie that is worth watching for its action and set pieces, but nothing worth running to the cinema for.
I was left thinking just how many of these movies are they going to churn out before absolutely nobody gives a shit about them anymore?

Everything I would come to expect from a Star Wars film. It was nice to see the life before Ford stepped into the roll.
