[QUOTE="weasel, post: 469382, member: 14"] I saw something about it in the paper the other day. Not sure what to expect. After TLJ I still feel incredibly let down. I wasn't expecting a film purely designed to keep us old boys happy. I get/understand/accept that it has to move on and that things will change etc. I just think the last film was a rank BAD film. The plot was sooo poor. Coming from a studio the size of Disney and knowing that a hell of a lot of people would go to see a SW film, they really should have spent a bit more time working on a plot. It's just as if they lifted the story from a secondary school English homework and padded it out a bit. That's really ruined it for me. I liked TFA though I fully accept, and I think I pointed out at the time, it was just a rehash of ANH. I also liked Rogue one. It's not "brilliant" but it's the sort of film you can put on and happily kill 2 hours. It's not a classic. It's not a patch on the OT, granted nothing will be for most of us. I wouldn't even say R1 gets anywhere near my top 20 or even 50 films of all time, but it's a perfectly good film. Will the Solo movie follow R1 and be solid if unspectacular, or will it be more of TLJ-esque Hollywood BS of 100 million on cast, ditto special effects/CG, ditto advertising and a script from a primary school child? For the record, I also think the Alien franchise has similar issues. There is so much potential with both films but the studios keep churning out shite. I suspect I'll let a load of you guys go and see Solo first, read your opinions (in the spoiler free thread) and then make my mind up. If I go and it's pish like TLJ that will be me done with the new SW films. I can't see me going to Episode 9 after the travesty that was TLJ. [/QUOTE]
