I wish it would be entertaining but I so doubt it.  Anyone already seen it?  Can you tell me what you thought?

No.  Nor will I.

I'm tired of watching the same movie be produced year after year.

I'm hopefully seeing it this weekend.

If it's as well made as Rogue One, it will be good.

I have my suspicions that it won't be, however.

The best movie of the latest crop is Rogue One.

I liked it. But I'm easygoing about this kind of stuff. I've seen every Star Wars movie, but I'm not a huge fan. I don't worry about legacies and stuff like that.

I liked Rogue One a lot more than TFA and I haven't seen TLJ.

I'm hoping Solo follows in the tradition of R1.

Not gonna hold my.breath though.

Rogue One was better, but Solo is similar in having constant suspense and surprises.

It is not as well made as Rogue one. Please do not err on the side of generosity when assessing where on the scale of “not as good as rough one” it fell.

I'm expecting a request from my son to go with him any day now. At worst I get an air conditioned nap.

Suspense and surprise requires that I be made to give a fuck first.

Btw, through this movie I learned that because Star Wars happened a long Long time ago, it only stood to reason that trench warfare was not yet dead.

Oh, wait, that was hinted at in EMpire, the best of the series, wasn’t it?

imo, the worst of all the SW.

No emotional connection. No "moments" except for one small one.

My subway and 2 donuts was delicious though.
