Solo (A Star Wars Story) Review (2017)

Solo (A Starwars Story) 

  I went into this movie expecting absolutely nothing, but I was actually pleasently surprised.
  Solo happens to be the most Star Wars-y, of all the recent Star Wars movies! It's got the charm and campiness of the originals, the forbidden romances of the prequals, and like all of them, it's fun!
  Solo manages to tell and interesting story that feels unique and also adds to the character of Han without ruining your childhood.  It's never convienient, the pacing is smooth, and the acting is actually really good.
   Alden Ehrenreich wasn't necessarily my first casting choice for Han, but he was quite likeable in the role. Same can be said for Donald Glover as Lando and Joonas Suotamo as Chewy.
  Did this film need to exist? Not necessarily. Han is a character that we love because of his mysterious history and the fact that nobody can be Harrison Ford. That said, Ron Howard was the right person to do this movie and I'm glad he did. 9 out of 10 stars. (I'd Buy It On Blu-Ray)
