I thought it was alright. Nothing really special but not horrible. Probably not as good as Rogue One. What are the boards thoughts?

I went in with zero expectations and actually enjoyed it.

Same for me, thought Alden guy did a pretty good job playing Han. Last Jedi just killed any buzz for this movie

I liked it a lot. I feel bad for Ron Howard. He made a competent movie, but the ticket sales tanked because Diarrhea Rian's TLJ only months earlier.

Thoroughly enjoyed Solo. Top 5 of the entire franchise.

Thought it was enjoyable. Could have been better, but overall I liked it.

TLJ has much higher expectations. With that said, Solo was still better.

It was pretty bad. I only went because my son wanted to. Have had zero desire to re-watch. That movie really didn't need to be made. It offered nothing new to the universe and actually diminished the mystery behind an iconic character.

I didn't see many bad reviews. Also saw no excellent reviews. Most of the reviews I watched stated it was just an average heist movie set in the Star Wars universe.

Backlash from the abortion TLJ killed Solo. I wasn't giving them additional money after that garbage.

When Kennedy is gone, I might watch again but not until she is gone.

I actually watched it last night and really enjoyed it. Thought it was a good bit better than Rogue One, which was a bit of a snoozer during the first half.

i thought it was good. the solo actor did a good job, considering he is taking over for a legend. i did forget it was a stars movie. at the end, i was curious about what was the deal with characters and wanted to see more....all you can ask for. i agree, it was hurt by the terrible star wars movie before it.

Was happy to contribute to its poor performance at the BO due to TLJ backlash.

Watched it at home and enjoyed it, though I agree it didn't have to be made. Alden did a good job, and I enjoyed his interactions w/ Chewy. Lame how he got his name, though.

Thought it was better than the last 15 minutes of Rogue One, which is the only part of that film I will acknowledge as being competent.

Just watched. This is like a healing salve applied to the gaping infected TLJ wound in my soul. Not saying 10/10 but just good and (*gasp) normal. Plot and pacing is solid, as opposed to multiple overlong chase scenes and pointless plot diversions.

The Han character, damn, Harrison Ford should be proud of the way this guy (who the F is he anyway?) channeled the role.

It’s a solid good movie.

Thought it was alright. Didn't hate it but have no real desire to rewatch it.
