Review by michaeleb1025

Solo: A Star Wars Story

1/10

This is just plain awful

Ther are so many reasons on so many levels why this movie is terrible, I will give just a few reasons. Casting is the first. None of the leads seems to fit the parts they are cast to play. Donald Glover is the worst. Why Woody Harrelson? None of the actors had the humor or gravitas to carry their portrayals to a level of acting above a bad episode of Xena Warrior Princess. Chemistry between leads was pathetic. Villains lacked menace. Attempts at humor were lost in poor line delivery. Camerawork and color correction were disastrous. To say this film was bleak is an understatement. It was a brownish gray excremental mess. A 4K copy only reveals this more. I have never had a more unpleasant 4K watching experience. Hair and costumes looked like they were borrowed from a lot of other movies. There was a pony tail style on one of the female leads that looked like it was straight out of a stage production of Grease. Childish Gambino's Hawaian shirt was also a poor choice. There was also no sense of spectacle like in the other Star Wars movies. When there was a potentially interesting large set piece it was usually stripped of its impact with the extemely bleached out color correction. Obviously Ron Howard was a very very poor choice to direct this franchise. When you do not care about the characters at all, why bother? I could go on and on, but that would be wasting an enormous amount of time. The important thing is that you do not waste your time and money watching it. It does nothing to further the Star Wars canon unless you are an idiot fan boy who will watch anything and everything and have no sense of what a good film can be.
