Just got back Solo (Again).

I thought Solo was alright. Basically, I would sum it up as "Not a good movie, but not a bad movie." Which kind of sums up how I feel about most of Ron Howard's work, recently. (Except Inferno, yikes.)

I don't think anyone other than Ford would have felt right as Solo to me, but I tried to get used to Alden. Was skeptical about Glover, but damn, he was hands down the best character in the movie. He friggin nailed it as Lando, IMO.

A couple of dumb things really irked me on some level. Like how(/s "Solo was never his actual last name, and I thought the way he got it was dumb and I would rather that detail to have not been explained") I also thought that it was kind of weird that (/s "Han was an imperial for a brief second there") and not only does that not quite match up with the image that I have of him, just because that feels too much like selling out to the man, but I also feel like if that's part of his backstory, that it's big enough that we should have known about that before this movie, no matter how brief it was.

Also, it may have been explained, because sometimes I tend to space out, but did it not make sense how at the beginning of the film (/s"Beckett sells Han out to the Imperials, and they drop him in that pit where he meets Chewie, then as soon as he escapes Han is like, Hey Beckett, I know you were just intentionally an asshole to me, and are the reason I'm in this situation, but thanks for letting me on your ship.")
