Yeah I'm kind of surprised how highly rated these Star Wars and Marvel movies are by critics. Most of them are so formulaic and manufactured that I just don't see any greatness. I get that if you get enough good actors together, throw in a lot of cool special effects, and action in you can end up with an entertaining film but at the same time they are totally hollow and disposable. I just don't see how these films can score as high as better acted movies with superior stories.

I feel nostalgia has distorted objectivity when it comes to the recent Star Wars movies and this one being a character focused story the may not resonate with fans. I have to admit I personally feel this movie is a little unnecessary but if it's good by audience standards (seeing you can't trust the critics with these movies) I will watch it.

Yeah and better bad guys then the First Order, Hux, Phasma and Ren.

Seriously the PT really wrecked me on respecting evil.

Phasma could have been fantastic, an evil Brienne of Tarth. Wasted opportunity.

I'll probably wait for reviews before I decide if I need to see Solo in theatres. Looking forward to seeing Lando's collection of capes though.



Don't know how he got away with wearing a cape over top of his flight uniform, but he did.

none of these ads or trailers are doing anything for me.

I worry for this movie. It will make it's $600-$700 million, but their campaign is all over the map, and it makes me nervous.

That train design bugs me. Giant front wheels that are either missing from the other cars or taking up a ton of space inside the train. Guns that seem like they'd only be able to shoot things near the track, and that would possibly hit the track if going around the wrong kind of curve. There's nothing connecting the top segments to the bottom (and if there was, it would collide with the supports), so why do they even run together?

That shape is unmistakable. Question is...is it just a red herring that they put in the trailer only, or will it actually be in the movie.

I saw a new commercial last night that ends with a shot of Han and Chewie in handcuffs. In the background of the shot, you can see what appears to be Lando in his Bounty Hunter costume from Return of the Jedi.
