I saw Solo and liked it. Much better than I expected.

TLJ was stinking pile of poo, and I still believe that, but judging Solo on it's own merits I thought it was an enjoyable film.

*** Spoilers Below ***

The Lando / L3 thing was weird, although that is neat how L3 is part of the Falcon now.

Linking the underworld to Maul is amazing. What an awesome way to give Clone Wars some love. It also sets us up for more of the story line, which I'm very interested to see.

The humor wasn't out of place like in TLJ. The theme, pace, and plot were all much better constructed than TLJ, over all a much better film in terms of objective cinema criteria.

Character wise it didn't seem right for Han to walk away with such a small cut of the action. He didn't seem jaded enough, especially since he was left by Qi'ra. I guess they are trying to play up the Han is really just a nice guy underneath it all. For me it didn't work.

I didn't feel like there was a SJW message being pushed. Maybe the comment from L3 about equal rights, but w/e, that wasn't a big deal to me.

Perhaps part of the reason I liked it was my expectations could not have possibly been lower, but I did like it.

Others might feel so, but they might be the type who find that in everything. Myself, I did not find this to be the case.

I didn't even finish the first Deadpool movie, it wasn't my thing, no interest in seeing the second.

Saw the Solo movie.

Didn’t like the feminist robot, didn’t understand why Lando was getting such a major role other than to over use the token black guy.

The whole thing with him being a sex god plays on the sjw brainwashing that blacks are better at sex.

Didn’t understand the girlfriend suddenly being a situ apprentice; other then to milk another sequel and have a courageous woman role. Same goes for the halfbreed 12 year old leading the marauders.

Last but not least; the plot was weak. Why were the marauders chasing/killing criminals who were undermining the empire? Enemy of my enemy is my friend; or at least not the person you should be hunting down to the ends of the universe.

End rant.
