IMO it's a good not great movie but it's pretty entertaining and one of the better Star Wars moves (not exactly a high bar) released since the original trilogy and probably will go down as the most underrated Star Wars movie if there is ever such a thing.

Boycotting sends a message that you are unhappy with the direction of the series, and hopefully elicits a change. Quite frankly, Disney has gotten the message and revamped their plans for the entire franchise.
I didn't see Solo in the theatre. This want a conscious boycott, but the quality of TLJ definitely had something to do with this. As soon as I saw the marketing for Solo, with all the "jokes" and cgi, I knew I was out. It reminded me of TLJ, and I didn't want to waste my time and money on it.
Now that I've seen Solo, I can say it wasn't nearly as bad as TLJ. I also didn't miss out on anything. Solo was very bleh... From the train scene on, I lost interest. It felt like actors visiting a Star Wars theme park at times, as opposed to real characters in a real world. Every cgi scene was dragged and bloated. The rest was just very vanilla.
There was potential there. I really liked the early depictions of Han's home world. Although if Han was so shaped by a lost love, surely he would have mentioned that at some point in the four other movies he was in....
