Gisteravond was in Los Angeles het rode loper evenement voor Solo: A Star Wars Story. Een aantal gelukkige beroemdheden en journalisten kreeg hier de film voor het eerst te zien. En het lijkt erop dat de film indruk heeft gemaakt! Laten we zien wat voor reacties Solo kreeg van de critici.
#SoloAStarWarsStory– an awe-inspiring summer bonanza. Ron Howard's grand prism has changed the Star Wars franchise for the better. Alden manages to top Ford with a career breakout performance worthy of hyperbole, but Glover's Lando steals it. The blockbuster we NEED right now

#SoloAStarWarsStory is reaaaaalllly good. Fun as hell. It’s a straight intergalactic heist movie, kind of refreshing to see a Star Wars movie w/o a Death Star or the rebellion’s fate at stake. Alden Ehrenreich is super impressive as Han, but L3 might be my favorite new character.

Another thing about 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' that really stood out are the action set pieces. They were GREAT and so well choreographed.
Also thought Alden Ehrenreich was perfectly cast as Han Solo. Trust me entire cast was fantastic. Can't wait to see it again. pic.twitter.com/Sh5IC8qnSF

I just don’t see how you could ever do more of a “used universe” movie than this. Feels so grimy, so real. CGI is minimal. It’s the usedest universe that ever universed. #Solo

Solo: A Star Wars Story is a goddamn delight. It’s a non-stop adventure packed with way more emotion than your expecting. You’ll have a smile on your face the whole time and leave eager for more. pic.twitter.com/fOsF7Tr95L

So, I was REALLY worried about #SoloAStarWarsStory but those concerns are totally laid to rest. A movie for fans AND those totally fresh to the Star Wars franchise. Heart, humor and a Falcon full of top notch action. From a worry to a favorite. Very, very happy! pic.twitter.com/VhvBSDFvjE

#Solo was a blast. The Kasdans nail the character of Han Solo. Yes, the story is a series of expected events (Han meets chewie….etc) but none of them happen as expected. Stay away from spoilers, big Marvel-level shit that will make you wonder where Lucasfilm is headed next.

Geen film is echter perfect, dus er zal altijd iemand zijn die hem minder vindt:
There’s some fun to be had with #SoloAStarWarsStory. Ehrenreich was solid and really enjoyed Glover and Waller-Bridge as L3, but not convinced we needed a young Han Solo movie. Was really hoping for higher stakes, more energy and depth.

#SoloAStarWarsStory was a mostly fun adventure and solid performances but with a predictable story. Never will be one of my favorite #StarWars movies but I enjoyed enough of it.

Het lijkt er dus op dat er alweer een topper bij de Star Wars saga is gekomen. Eentje met een minder universum-verbrijzelende inzet… Maar wel met een bootlading plezier. Wij hebben er in ieder geval zin in.
Solo: A Star Wars Story staat gepland voor een release op 23 mei 2018. De film is geschreven door Lawrence en Jon Kasdan, en de regie wordt door Ron Howard op zich genomen. Het zal het debuut zijn van Alden Ehrenreich als de iconische smokkelaar Han Solo. Ook Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian), Woody Harrelson (Beckett), Emilia Clarke (Qi’ra), Thandie Newton (Val), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (L3-37) en Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca) zullen in de film te bewonderen zijn.
