Solo





I was weary when Ron Howard took over as the director of this film. I respect him, but i am not a huge fan of his films, i didn't trust him to make a great film, or even a fun film. He did both, Solo is a blast, it is probably my favorite Star Wars film since Force Awakens. Alden Ehrenreich i found cringe worthy in the trailers, i was mistaken, it plays out a hell of a lot better in the full film, he gets the smirks down, and the deliveries down, he becomes Han Solo! The meetings with Chewie & Lando are great, plenty of nods with both characters. Lando is great, duh, it is Donald Glover, hell the entire cast is great, everyone seems to be having fun, Woody Harrelson is playing the role he has played for years but in a SW film. Paul Bettany is a damn fine villain.  The film is pretty much non stop, fast paced, not a lot of filler, the jokes work, and there aren't too many, it is like watching a live action comic book, pure fun. I didn't want a sequel, now i do, i want to see more of these adventures, like will Han ever find love? Will he have a child? All these questions and more in a galaxy far, far away! Oh and Darth MAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
