I remember when this was Han Solo's low point 😑
 
 

So far, yeah... of course it's unfortunately not as flashy as a "stylish action" sort of thing, which is what I normally like...but it's good enough to work for me.  There's stamina to consider, as well as your blood "meter"...the amount of blood is of course your fuel for the major vampire powers (the cool shadow-dodge) is tied directly to stamina, apparently....you just have to be extra careful when fighting things that are more powerful/higher level of course.
 
Code Vein trailer just dropped WITH a date!!!  Yesssssssssssss [9/28/18]

I thought TLJ was a fine movie.  It broke some peoples' minds because the heroes they have been worshiping for decades didn't turn out the way they wanted.  I'll honestly never understand the tears.
 
The only way some people were gonna be happy was if TLJ was the most pandering bland thing ever -- because a lot of fans would rather continue to see the same thing they already know over and over rather than do something new and exciting.
 
I don't think Solo is the result of TLJ's 'failure'.  It's just that nobody wanted to see to a movie about Han Solo in the past.

This Star Wars situation is crazy. I never thought I'd live to see a Star Wars film lose money. Solo is basically paying for the "sins" of TLJ. That movie reminds me of the The Dark Knight Rises. The more I think about it and the more time that passes, the worse it becomes. Except for all its flaws TDKR is still a decent film just the worst one in the trilogy.

This is one of the most active threads on the forum.  Apparently the ladies are what keep the lights on. 😳

VAMPYR is finally officially mine!  ohhhhh and it's shaping up to be everything I was expecting so far.  At the moment, I've already fed on some roguish fellow over by the docks when you arrive at the hospital... seemed like the type that always starts trouble with people anyway... good riddance to some riff-raff of the town there.  Heh, his last thoughts were of anger and cursing the world.  He apparently has a wife... maybe she's due a visit from "the good doctor" as well....

it's an odd little thing to me that I'm apparently the only person that is amused by the name of that guy "Ben Jealous"

I just saw SOLO.
 
Pros:
 
Alden and Don Glover as Han and Lando . They werent just imitations like I was expecting
 
Good action sequences. The one about 90 minutes in with the ship felt the most like the OG movies
 
L3 droid was funny
 
Cameo by a classic character at the end
 
 
Cons:
 
--It feels  very inoffensive and designed not to push many boundaries. If the film didnt exist, I dont think it would leave a real hole in the movie series. It feels like Disney/Lucasfilm took all the info about Han from previous movies that was merely alluded to,made a checklist,  and told the filmmakers to construct a movie out of it  (Kessel run, meet Chewie, meet Lando, check,check check)
 
-Han doesnt really undergo any change in chracter from beginning. Hes basically han from beginning to end. Hes slightly more idealistic.
 
 --Paul Bettany does not really come off as a threatening villain. (Perhaps a decade of playing Jarvis/Vision has conditioned us to see him as a hero?)
 
--Too many double cross moments in the end. The reveal of who  the Marauder characters was meh.
 
--I kinda wanted the first meeting with Chewie to be more epic than it was. I think it should have been later in the film imo
 
A symptom of being  a  prequel is that most of these characters who have never appeared before in a previous SW movie are destined to meet the Grim Reaper and since there isnt much time to get to know them , their deaths are ultimately hollow. Rogue One had this problem too. 
 
Overall:  7/10.
Not a bad movie, but one that will fade as soon as you go home. 
See it as a matinee for under $10.
Disney should have kept Lord/Miller , then maybe it would be a little more memorable. Ron Howard has made good movies in the past, but I dont really see his style as unique.
 
Misc: I went on a Saturday night and only 30% of the cinema was filled. This is a Star Wars movie not STEP UP.

haha, might not be a problem finding an empty theater... a certain friend sent me a pic of how empty the theater was when he went...it looked like there was literally no one else in there.  ....and we know now that it only made 103 mil over the Memorial Day weekend, which should be an embarrassment for something that is part of one of the biggest franchises in the history of film.  I think this has been a result of 2 critical things...
1. Was anyone really clamoring for a film about this character?
2. Episode 8 being probably the most divisive SW movie ever made, with a lot of folks just not liking it at all....this  has unfortunately poisoned the well, so to speak....heh, like everyone was having fun at the pool party, and some asswipe comes along and shits in the pool.
 
For a while I still had hope that Episode 9 might save things (*perhaps if they just disregard or pretend various things in 8 never really happened...haha like DB Super goes on as if nothing in DBGT ever happened 🤣)....but I'm not so sure about that anymore.

Would you betray your country for this?
 

 

You've come a long way, Bumblebee....
 
 

Main consensus I see from movie peeps I trust is Solo is a good space western film, just not a good Star Wars film. It feels unnecessary and forced in so diehard fans can go "So THAT'S how that happened" which kind of breaks up the smoothness of the rest of the film.
 
I'd like to see it, just not in a packed theater.
 
Also Maxi looks dope in SCVI.

You've come a long way, Bumblebee....
 
 

Just finished watching all 10 episodes of this.  If you are American you really need to watch it.  I don't think I've been moved this much by anything in a long time.  I straight up cried many times while watching this.
