    “Solo: A Star Wars Story”: First Reactions Are Shockingly Positive

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover)

    Hello! What have we here? The social media ban on “Solo: A Star Wars Story” has lifted and positive reactions are pouring in.

    I already listed a bunch of reasons the latest “Star Wars” spin-off movie will bomb. But there’s one thing I didn’t take into account. If it’s well-done then the movie will do well. Case closed.

    So, what do the early reactions to “Solo: A Star Wars Story” point to?

    Here are some of the reactions from “perfectly captures…the Star Wars franchise” to “fun”.

    #Solo feels surprisingly unlike any Star Wars movie before, yet perfectly captures the tone, adventure, characters and humor of the #StarWars franchise. Also, I need a Lando movie in my life.

    — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) May 11, 2018

    #Solo is afun! I was pleasantly surprised that it worked as well as it did given all the behind the scenes drama & retooling. Charming cast, fun action, good jokes, good fan service but still does its own thing. #StarWars will be fine.

    — Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) May 11, 2018

    ALDEN EHRENREREICH IS HAN SOLO! The movie is an absolute blast to hyperspace! #SoloPremiere #SoloAStarWarsStory #Solomovie

    — Umberto Gonzalez (@elmayimbe) May 11, 2018

    Wow. Just come out of #SoloAStarWarsStory and can confirm it’s kinda a blast. @donaldglover was as perfect as expected, but Alden Ehrenreich has swagger to match, and spare.

    — Joel Meares (@joelmeares) May 11, 2018

    WOW! #SoloAStarWarsStory!  I felt like I was watching a @StarWars movie again. So many great moments for the fans AND surprises.. I’ve got the feels after this one…MORE than #InfinityWar.

    — Brian Tong (@briantong) May 11, 2018

    On the other side of the coin are the negative reactions

    First Critics Report for #SoloAStarWarsStory is out. It has received Mixed To Positive Reviews. Many people are finding it difficult to consider Aldam as Solo as they have always seen Harrison as Solo.Story is simple and Special Effects are good.

    — FilmsFreak (@FilmsFreakFB) May 11, 2018

    So it sounds like Alden Ehrenreich’s acting lessons paid off and the reshoots didn’t hurt the movie. Everyone agrees that Donald Glover is awesome as Lando.

    Of course, we got a bunch of positive reactions to “Batman v Superman” and we all know how that one turned out. So we’ll see.

    And lest we forget who started it all. Here’s a tweet of Billy Dee Williams, the original Lando, with Donald Glover who plays young Lando.

    Here’s the latest clip of Lando and Beckett facing off against Enfys Nest and his crew.

    Do you think “Solo: A Star Wars Story” will be good?
