I finally saw it. My boys loved it. I would give it 3.5/5 Moof Milkers.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)
they used to be normal,
because they were contacted by aliens with some of their technological inventions and what the aliens told them was so big and so mind blowing that they did kinda became crazy,
one of their machines was able to pick up messages and they have tried to warn the world about whats coming next, and what aliens have in plan for us
They are 70 years old now so they actually look good for their age.
(again, All true...)

I think Lando reacted the way he did over L3 (who I agree, was obnoxious) for 2 reasons...
Lando prizes "things" and reputation above all else, L3 had the best navigation database in the galaxy, or something like that, and therefore this thing of his also helped to bolster hs reputation.
I get the feeling that since he is a bit of a con man, that he keeps most people at a distance and L3 was the closest thing he had to a friend.
Personally, I think he was exceptional as Lando, bought every second of it.

I actually thought Lando was going to return after he left and help out in some way (even if it was just for his payment) - but nope.

Nah, that's a total Solo move

The problem with the Lando-L3 love connection is this: don’t have L3 say Lando is into her AND have Lando go nuts when she dies. L3’s line is funny enough, but then starts to ring true (inadvertently?) as it’s seemingly confirmed by Lando’s reaction.
One or the other works in isolation, but together it makes his reaction to her death even more ridiculous.
With Lord and Miller originally at the helm, it’s tough to say what was just being played for laughs and what was true. Definitely one of the problems when there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

That exchange of "how would that work?" and "it would work" when L3 and Qi-Ra are talking abut Lando was another ugh L3 moment. Like what imagery are you supposed to take away from that?
What a fascinating thing it'll be if the Lord/Miller footage ever sees light of day. My guess it goes into the ark storage warehouse with the original RO ending.

Yeah, like the mistake in Sicario, no "boss" is going to leave himself and his prized possessions alone with only a small crew of protection especially when expecting a traitor to pay a visit.
But I've only seen the movie once, so maybe I'll get used to it.
In my mind the movie was finished after the Kessel Run. Kind of like Raiders which is basically finished after the truck chase -- but at least it has melting faces at the end..

Jaws,
I didn’t love it but it was so much better than TLJ that I have some faith again. I hope you’ve avoided the spoilers though. I did and that one scene gave me chills, just like the Rogue One scene.
Overall, hated L3 with a passion, thought Han was actually ok, and after a while, liked Lando too. Chewie rocked, movie itself was good but not great...the score was really good and loved hearing Asteroid Field cues and other memorable sequences.
Go see it! I almost didn’t because of TLJ but man, glad I did!

Solo is the ESB of the spin-offs (Asteroid Field music included along with Lando)... just like RO was the ANH of spin-offs.
Means Kenobi is going to be a cheese-ball toy commercial like ROTJ.

what if............ what if....
what if kennedy intentionally flopped the Solo film so she has an excuse to push her agenda and stop putting white men in leading roles in Star Wars films?????
what if she knew this would happen and thats why the other two directors were fired? because they made a great movie?

I certainly think the box office disaster is a well timed FU to Kennedy. Or so it will appear to the boys whose bank accounts are less full after the weekend.
Personally I'm not sure it has anything to do with the backlash from TLJ. But it will certainly be considered and some serious **** will be going down in the mouse house right now.
Obnoxious baby Rian & Kennedy "we don't care what the negative fans think.."
You do now Kennedy.

Just saw that tracking mid last week had Solo landing above $170m for the four day total. The fact that it may fall under $100m for four day actuals (currently estimated at $102m) is a massive fail on the part of tracking services - you really have to wonder how they could have gotten it so wrong for actuals to only be a little over HALF the projected total.
Will be interesting to see if Solo gets much repeat "fan" business - TLJ collapsed badly in terms of repeat business - if not it's realistically heading to only a bit above $200m. A finish around $200-220m domestic will be a catastrophe for this movie because international beyond China has been very weak also. If this doesn't crack $450m worldwide this will be a loss of hundreds of millions even with home video factored in.
Going to be interesting to see the effects this has on Disney's moves in terms of SW. There's no way they will fire Kathleen Kennedy, but showing that SW is not invincible surely is going to have some effects on plans for Fett and Obi Wan movies - maybe budgets trimmed, maybe scrapping or longer delays to allow the franchise some time off.

I strongly predict this will do 350 million globally. thats kind of the budget that your typical summer movie does. maybe less than 350. China is completely rejecting this, I think it did 10 million for the whole weekend to china is completely out.
