"When's the last time you watched Chewbacca have a conversation with somebody?" *flashback to holiday special*

To me this film like a real-high budget version of one of the really good episodes of Clone Wars. A side-story that is made more for the characters than for the overarching story.

I love the Han shooting first fan service. It was perfect.

This is so spot on. I agree with pretty much everything you've said. And they really did nail the Kessel Run!

I really liked this movie but when L3 got shot the power in my theater went out so we had to wait an hour to see if the she had survived or not.

Don't forget how the first trailer for this movie wasn't released until three months ago. There simply wasn't enough time to garner public interest. Uncharacteristically terrible marketing from Disney. They really should have put the first trailer before Last Jedi. That way the people who didn't like that movie could still be like "Well at least that other Star wars movie looks cool"

Oh my god, thank you for pointing out how awesome the music is in this movie. Gave me chills.

I find IMDB a lot more useful than Rotten Tomatoes Their rating system is a lot less on the extremes.

People are just bandwagoning on the hate, in my opinion. It's decent, but it's being overplayed on how bad it is.

Solo was honestly one of my favorite Star Wars movies. It kinda made me upset when people criticized it, because it was so much fun to watch in theaters.

Even with the so called "boycott" of Solo and everyone assuming it sucked, this vid only got 10% of the dislikes compared to the force awakens vid and the last Jedi vid

Favorite line in all of Star Wars “Maclunky”

That scene with the star destroyer in the space tunnel was incredible looking.

Thank you! Someone who actually isn’t going crazy about Glover’s performance!

5:04 the soundtrack was composed by John Powell! He's a super good and honestly underrated composer; he's also done the How To Train Your Dragon soundtracks which are absolutely stunning

I liked solo, rogue one, and TFA. I also liked all of the prequels. There are plenty of people like me

I *LOVE* how they made "the Kessel run in 12 parsecs" line actually made sense!

I went in with two expectations: It was gonna take about a half hour for Han to really start feeling like Han, and that overall it was going to be pretty mediocre. And both of those were completely shattered. From the moment Han started speaking I had a huge smile across my face because, damn it, somehow, that was just *Han*. And much like with TFA, I had a big stupid grin across my face for most of the movie. Also, with pretty much EVERY film since Disney took over, maybe even since 99, there's been this weird behind-the-scenes element you can feel in almost every scene that takes me out of the experience a little bit, either because of the creature design or the blocking or the references, there's always something that feels like it's designed specifically TO BE a Star Wars movie; it feels designed and curated in such a way to expand the universe and create toys and to set up tie-in novels. But I didn't feel that with Solo. It was the first film in a very, very long time that... actually felt like it took place in the Star Wars universe. It was surprisingly genuine and grounded and I loved almost everyone in it. Weirdly, it's one of my favorite Star Wars movies, which I NEVER expected.

This movie has also set a precedent. If we see a stormtrooper take off their helmet in the Imperial Era, and they don't have 70s hair like Han does, I'mma be pissed.

I do agree, solo is fine. It’s classic feeling, yet new.

Solo has the best war scenes for me Dirty, scary, and PTSD inducing

Still mad it wasn't released in December I really like the whole "Christmas Gift" gimmick they were going for, and if they wanted a Star Wars movie every year (Although there should be a gap) 1 whole year in between is refreshing enough IDK what went through their minds when they said "OK memorial day, because why not" I don't know any significance May 25th has to Star Wars or Han Solo, someone help me here Summer Movies don't do well tbh, Disney needs to get their shit together

Solo was great, and I genuinely loved it. Especially Chewie.

The only KZfaqr in existence to have the ability to change my mind so easily.

Thank God I wasn't the only one who LOVED the Enfy Nest theme. The guy who did the music for How to Train Your Dragon did it and you can tell how much effort and attention went into making it sound like Star Wars but also giving it a unique feel.

I really enjoyed this movie a lot actually, but the lighting was a big issue for me. I would probably agree with everything you said except that I enjoyed Lando in this movie a lot. So yeah 8/10 great Star Wars spin-off Edit: after rewatches the more I watch this movie the less I care....I mean all my criticisms and enjoyment still apply it’s just not good for rewatches...and as someone that rewatches movies a ton I have to change my rating to 6.5/10

Hot Take, Solo is the best Star Wars film in this decade

Spot on...it's a lot of fun, does some unique things, and gives you a little fan service. Seeing a clean interior of the Millennium Falcon makes it practically worth a watch for me.

Fucking thank you, I saw this movie a day before you uploaded this, and I had pretty much similar thoughts an I've been waiting for someone to agree with me, I like how in personality he does feel like a younger more naive version of himself, someone who has learnt to be so grumpy, I think the guy did a great job even though in my opinion, he looks too "pretty boy-ish" to be Han

When John Williams eventually retires :’( I think that John Powell should take over as the main Star Wars composer. I loved this soundtrack

Teacher: Where are your groupmates Peter? Peter: I don't have any. Teacher: So you're solo.

7:00 If you want to find this fire 8-bit duel of the fates remix, the artist’s name is Scratch Mae on soundcloud you’re welcome

There was also some extremely subtle fan service with a reference to the video game "masters of teras kasi," and the pikes from the clone wars to a lesser extent. Anyone else notice that?

I haven’t watched it, should I?

It sucks we probably won’t get Solo 2 or something else continuing this story. A Disney+ series could work, I just want to know what Qira’s been up to.

Description: Spoiler-free Outro Music: Technically a spoiler

I went and saw it with my mom. She leaned over to me and said, five minutes in, "I can't see their faces. Why are they in shadow?" Yeah, the color grading was kinda crap, but I felt it got better in the second half. But you made me remember how much I enjoyed the gambling scenes - they made my heart race, and it felt a lot like real sabacc. And I felt the whole L3 thing was comedic - I found her gung-ho, social justice attitude to be more funny and non-serious because none of the other characters really take her seriously, and her "liberation" decisions actively result in *SPOILERS*. But yeah. It was pretty good and overall enjoyable. For both me, a massive fan, and my mom, a casual who fell asleep during Rogue One. Great video as usual!

I thought it was nice. The problems people say are exaggerated.

Context: I'm no filmmaker OR analyst. I just like movies. Throughout the whole review I was like: 'Is it just me or is the lighting and color really poo?' Welp, you addressed that! Because of you I'll probably watch this movie, when otherwise I was going to let it pass by cause of all the bad press.

Awh dude that theme when the staff lady fights is one of my favorites

I’m surprised at you Marcus. Usually YOU’RE the one being mean. Flipping the script on me. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

I agree with pretty much everything you said about Solo. But I really don't see why you hate Rogue One so much. I found it to be one of the best Star Wars films, maybe even my favorite.

Cosnaut: plays solo sound track Copyright:: here i I come

not to mention that freaking DARTH MAUL was pulling the strings in the background the entire time!

Forget Jeremy Jahns, Christ Stuckmann and Angry Joe. Im only coming to you for my reviews :D

I really loved krennick.... he always had something to prove. He has a lisp, he's constantly fucking up, he has a rivalry with Tarkin of all people. He is putting up a veneer of "cackling bad guy" but he really isn't. He's just trying to be. He's actually one of my favorite Star Wars characters. Lol. I agree, the movie was wonderful. The characters were great. I also completely agree: the soundtrack is criminally underrated.

Am I binge watching most of your videos because I have nothing to do during quarantine? Yes, the answer is yes.

Solo is my favorite Disney Star Wars movie. It is just a fun story. It's look like a roleplaying table's game in the SW universe.

It honestly might be my favorite of all the new ones Disney has done, I genuinely really liked this movie.

Finally a good solo review it was a good ass time. They nailed Solo’s character and that was all I wanted

I loved solo so much! It’s so fun and I honestly had such a good time

Lando wanting to have some fun time with his toaster wrecked my childhood.

CosmoNUT quickie

Great video I agree with you and people are just being mean. I enjoyed it.

thank the lord im not the only person who loves this movie cause its just so fun

When it comes to the spin-offs, Disney does a good job with them. I love solo and Rogue one because we don't just see main characters, we see some new characters that, unlike others (rebels), actually feel like they factor into the larger universe and move the story forward while opening doors to explore them and there history. Some are sutle while others are great. I loved Donald Glover as Lando, he was defiantly my favourite character in this movie. As you said, the villain is great. And I have to say, these spin-offs are definitely underrated.

WHERE MARVEL PART 3

*So Low: A Starmayn's storie*

I honestly just fell in love with the Marauder's score so much for some reason. To me, it reminds me of that scene from Brother Bear where the guy is being turned into a bear.

For every "Soylo" pun made, we get closer to having another Star Wars Holiday Special

You should’ve talked about the *spoiler alert* maul appearance. I was looking forward to see what you thought about it in your review. A bit disappointed that you didn’t talk about the biggest surprise and arguably the biggest thing in the movie.

It's blockbuster fatigue plain and simple. I don't understand why Disney wanted to stack Last Jedi - Black Panther - Infinity War in quick succession and then also throw Solo in the mix. Even Fox, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros spaced their blockbusters reasonably. I think Star Wars should always be reserved for the holiday window in November/December like the last 3 were.

Watching solo was like being in a dark room on your phone but it’s on the lowest screen brightness

Megaman X4: X’s starting mission theme song. Nice.

Stumbled across this now and it's so gratifying, this is a great movie with an amazing fucking score. John Powell = the only person to add an original composition right next to John Williams and have it stand up. Fucking baller.

People forget that Solo made money, it just wasn't a "hit".

I'm upset no one talks about the score of the film, especially the track, "Marauders arrive". Fucking. Phenomenal.

I genuinely had a blast in the cinema watching this movie and was actually surprised to see all the hate it was getting. Glad I'm not the only one that thought it was great 😂

I liked Solo, it's a good Heist movie, to show the adventures of a young Han solo, How he got his DL44, and looked at it amazed was my best part, It fit in so well, and left a door to a possible Obi wan movie, or a sequel. The dark tone, like rogue one, really fits, and shows that there is a western side of the star universe, that's not just, Jedis, siths, and lightsabers, I had a great time watching it. Seeing this makes me want a Star game, to where you can make your own character, and have them be a smuggler, and do heists with your friends

loved Solo.... its a space western/heist movie... like a perfect combo of my favorite genres.

They probably had no idea how to make conversations with chewy until groot came along and marvel made full conversations with someone who just says I am groot lol.

Ron Howard's directing strength is how immersive and well crafted the set designs are, looking like real places than the more obvious indoor studio sets. I've seen and compared Solo with How The Grinch Stole Christmas and they're 4/10% similar, in my opinion.

2:39 That line has more cracks in it than a house in California.

The soundtrack is BONKERS good. John Powell knocked it out of the park.

Thanks for convincing me to give this one a chance, it's one of my favorites by far now.

Solo is my favorite star wars film I really love the criminal underworld kinda vibe (which i think your supposed to feel) and overall I really loved the movie.

“He’s a person. He has emotions.” Well He’s actually a Wookiee with emotions

Chewbacca: *Frees Wookie* Star Wars fans: “...” L3: *Frees Droids* Star Wars Fans: *Screams intensify* Me: “Huh... I like having the small opinion, L3 was cool.”

how does this beautiful man point out every problem I have with each movie perfectly???

5:08 mother of god that soundtrack! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

"When was the last time you saw Chewbacca have a conversation with someone?" The Holiday Special, of course.

Rags is foaming at the mouth right now

idk why people didn't talk about how cool the art direction was in this movie and how they made it look, aesthetically, like it was made c. 1970

The 8-bit music at the end sounds like Pokémon battle music.

Solo is the worse Star Wars movie since Last Jedi Also this is the best Star Wars movie since Last Jedi

This movie fits into the niche batch of movies I call the Blade Movie batch. Blade is so re-watchable, I use it as the benchmark.

John Williams only makes pure fire in the recording studio, like I don't know how he does it

It was a fun heist movie,fans of Rebels will definitely appreciate the cameo at the end. Though at this point you probably already know who it is even if you haven't seen it

Finally someone who actually watched the movie. Solo honestly does a better job being Star Wars than most of the Star Wars movies. Also I’m so glad you mentioned the music. John Powell put his own spin on the originals and it sounded amazing. Also if anyone reading this likes the music in this movie, you should check out the How to train your Dragon trilogy.

I’m glad I’m not alone on this. I love solo!

FINALLY!!! Someone acknowledges the soundtrack to this film in a positive light

I rewatched this the other day and I honestly don't know why I wasn't a big fan of it before, the visuals in particular blew me away.

The only thing that bugged me in this movie was the introduction to chewbacca. I always saw Chewbacca and han as life long friends. in my head it was as if they grew up together. It's not the movies fault but I feel like I'm not alone on that.

I loved this movie so much that I forgot it was a Han Solo origin story

Best thing about this movie is that it proves that HAN ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST

Thank you!! When I went to the theatre I was like you with no expectations. And I was pleasantly surprised! I left the theatre pretty satisfied

I liked solo..best movie? No. But it was enjoyable! The main thing I had issue with is the muddled post editing color work. I get that it's a darker , sadder world, but a lot of the film was way too dark. OH you mentioned it as I was typing. Carry on!

Honestly, as someone who considers himself a HUGE Star Wars fan...I kinda just want a break from Star Wars. The Last Jedi kind of ruined my mood regarding anything to do with the franchise, and while I'll always go back to the Original Trilogy, the Clone Wars cartoon, and the KOTOR games...I'm kinda just done with the movies. I keep hearing that Solo is pretty good, but honestly I can't bring myself to care about it.

"You can't do Star Wars too often" Disney proceeds to release Visions in September, Mandalorian Season 3 AND Book of Boba Fett in DECEMBER, and Andor and Kenobi in early 2022

I watched this with my family in 4dx after I finished my exams and had a really great time and when asked the one guy in school who had seen it what he thought he said it was really great as well
