Making Chimichangas Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I will of course see the Han Solo movie when it comes out, but I'm really not wanting this movie. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Believed that there was no issues with the quality of the movie and that they were just silent on it because they wanted TLJ to run its course. So the teaser dropped for the Super Bowl (trailer on Monday's GMA). Was interesting in a good way. I'm hyped. Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That trailer did nothing for me. That's not Han. None of those lines sound like something he would say or do... Quote Link to comment

None of those lines sound like something he would say or do... I'll admit, it's a bit tough for me, too. The biggest reason I'm not a fan of these spinoff movies is because they feel like they're over-saturating the Star Wars market. It's too much. Part of the Star Wars allure is what feels like the interminable wait between trilogies. The Clone Wars and Rebels are one thing (animated series to fill a niche market, much like the Animatrix). This all feels unnecessary. That and Rogue One wasn't a good movie. My expectations for this are poor. Quote Link to comment

But, I personally like the stand alone movies. You are wrong, Rogue One was a pretty good movie. 1 Quote Link to comment

There was just way too much planet hoping for the first two thirds of the movie, and too many characters introduce for you to care about them. You're right that things have been over saturated. They should flesh out characters we don't see on screen very much Boba Fett, Lando, Wedge Antilles, Darth Maul, etc. There's a lot to choose from. We know Han. Anything but a spot on performance emulating his every mannerisms is going to be a disappointment. Harrison Ford made him a pretty memorable and specific character.

Spot on with the bolded - the only redeemable quality for me was the last two and a half minutes. The rest of the movie lacked strong writing, character development and structure. That's ultimately my concern with Solo. I'm also in agreement with your line about mannerisms and portrayal. This will inherently draw comparisons and expectations. This isn't like Batman, Spiderman or some superhero universe that gives substantial wiggle room for an actor to bring a new 'take' on a character. Harrison Ford is Han Solo as much as Han Solo is Harrison Ford. Alden Ehrenreich has to perform the role the way another actor envisioned it and I don't think there's an easy way to make that work.

Saunders Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Since they decided that this is a necessary move (I don't think it is), not casting Anthony Ingruber was a crime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwLv993khfI 1 Quote Link to comment

It is, in my opinion, the best Star Wars film ever. It was a Star Wars that actually put the "war" in Star Wars. Personally I loved the gritty feel of the movie and felt the tone was perfect. /ThreadDerailment 2 Quote Link to comment
