Solo: A Star Wars Story (or just Solo) is the second installment in the Star Wars Anthology film series. The movie is a stand-alone story prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. The movie is produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Solo: A Star Wars Story is written by Jonathan and Lawrence Kasdan and directed by Ron Howard.
The story tells the tale of a young Han Solo and his dream of becoming a pilot. One day he is given a job by Tobias Beckett for an important smuggling deal. During this adventure Han meets other people like him who were also hired by Tobias for this job.
Initial Reaction
Now like many Star Wars movies I was already hooked on this film. Granted I did have mix feelings about them telling Han's origin story since. But then I thought hey they told us a little bit about Boba Fett so why should Han be excluded.
Cons
I've got nothing to say. So let's move on.
Middle Ground
The only thing about Solo I had mix feelings on was whenever characters such as Han were in peril. Now yes I was worried when something would happen to them but at the same time you take a step back and realized I know their going to make it out of this.
Pros
Now a lot of people complained about Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo saying he doesn't sound nor look anything like a young Harrison Ford (which is hypocritical for them to say since these are the same people who like James McAvoy as Professor X even thought he doesn't sound like a young Patrick Stewart), he's performance in this film is good. Yeah he did a fine job playing Han. I also give performance credit to Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, he quite literally felt like a young Billy Dee Williams. Now when fans and critics heard about Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were fired during through three-quarters of principal photography and then Ron Howard took over for reshoots and such. But here this movie you don't notice that at all. Ron's directing was great, there wasn't anything that felt or looked like a reshoot at all. The writers handled Chewbacca and Han meeting perfectly. Nothing about their bond in this movie felt forced or rushed. Now in this film we get a surprise cameo from a fan-favorite character. I won't say who it is I'll just say their a Sith Lord.
Solo: A Star Wars Story was a very fun experience. Alden and Donald's performances were good, Ron Howard handled directing duties flawlessly, Han and Chewie meeting each other for the first time was great, and surprised cameo made my jaw drop. The only grey area was when Han and other original trilogy characters were in danger.
My final rating is Good
