OT but why do all these jackasses think that including a pic of themselves in the thumbnail of their opinion vlogs are going to make me more likely to click on it? It just turns me off even more.

Especially the ones making soy face.

The mugging faces on most of the youtube links posted keep me from clicking on even the ones I might be interested in.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

We need to add SPOILERS to the title of the thread....

Movie only came out 2 days ago and folks are putting spoilers directly into posts without tags....

Thanks to everyone who is using them!

I didn’t think it was possible but they succeeded at showing a scary Chewbacca all narly with mud.

Chewie is so very much associated with cute and funny due to his mannerisms that it was a breath of fresh air to see a monster who had probably killed and ate other humans in that cell prior to Han saving his own life by barely speaking his language.

I also liked the reason and method they went with for his Kessel run.

First that space monster was freaking terrifying and awesome.

Them having to use the actual cargo to escape a black hole and monster was great and it was a nice balance between time and distance because the Falcon had to take a very dangerous short cut but that short cut required for it travel very fast so it was a nice build up where both reasons served the story and made for a thrilling scene instead of them just going fast because “the falcon can”.

I also loved how calculating Han was in the sense that even though Beckett got him locked up he still kept his cool enough to save his own ass by ignoring what Beckett did to him and instead form an alliance with Beckett. Great character depth given to Han by them going that route.

I thought Rio was a great alien character and his death was one of the most realistic deaths yet in the entire series.

Going again today for my 2nd viewing because I want to see it in a Dolby screen this time so lets see how it holds up.

Honestly I didn’t have any faith in Howard yet he pulled it off.

What do I mean by that.

Well day before release there was zero faith in Alden we were all just going to celebrate watching him fall on his face.

I mean the nerve of them trying to give us a Han that doesn’t exactly look and sound like Ford, ridiculous.

Day after release and Alden now owns young Han!

Wut!

Exactly. Thank you. Now I want HT to redo the sculpt because after the film I want the figure and others badly.

Doesn't it go without saying don't click on a new movie thread that you haven't seen yet within days of release if you don't wanna be spoiled? Of course we're discussing the hell out of it. That's what this thread is for.

If people would just exercise a tiny fraction of self control and not obsessively read about movies they plan to see but haven't yet, they won't get spoiled.

how is saying thank you creepy? are you a legit psychopath? im literally Just saying thank you because im thanking people for Posting their reviews and keeping the Thread going, im thanking people for letting us know if they liked it or not. because it adds to the conversation

what part of that is creepy you freaking weirdo.... I Swear you must be crazy or something, too much sonic porn

do you get freaked out when people say Good Morning to you every day? does that freak you out too?

Sorry crows, I'm with Otomofan and ironwez on this one. It's true it's just kinda weird to do that on message boards; there's no real need to. Even if it's coming from a good place it still more so falls into the vein of spam.... I don't think users need thanking for sharing their thoughts on a movie on the internet like millions of other people lol.

I was using them but felt like an idiot because it was a spoilers free for all so I gave up lol

Honestly I avoid the movie thread and YT reviews entirely before a big movie now.

What’s funny is that the spoiler I was upset learning about before IW was that Hulk bursted out of the Hulkbuster and it never happened lol

You guys and gals are simply not getting it though you’re all missing the reason why crows does that.

It has nothing to do with the reason crows is using about being nice lol please don’t be so naive.

crows has an agenda, a slave to an ideology that must be enforced at all costs.

There’s a purpose to crows madness weak minded need not apply you will fall to his blade lol

83 million opening compared to RO's 155 million. If the rumored budget of 500 million after essentially shooting the entire film twice is true then it's not looking good for LFL on this one.

Someone is probably having hindsight regret about firing Lord & Miller now lol

Sigh....I guess I'm just an old Gen. Xer; I don't see the value in watching youtube reviews of people disecting movies or products, offering their unsolicited opinions. I don't feel validated by others agreeing with my like of something; or personally attacked when someone doesnt. There does seem to be a few members on this site that do.

I'd love to see Lord and Miller's footage just to compare but if Howard's cut is any indication then Kennedy absolutely made the right call. It's the second best Disney flick after RO. In many ways it's even better than RO and is a contender for third best SW film overall. I loved the "vintage EU" vibe it had throughout, as if it was a Brian Daley novel or classic Marvel SW comic brought to life.

It’s been tradition on these threads for a long time.....

Look at the infinity war thread ......

Yep, on a massive 15/70 IMAX screen in 3D (which was literally non-existent, I'll never watch the "3D" version of this again) and I loved it. . I'll post a more detailed review when I'm at my laptop later today.
