these are the worst things about solo a Star Wars story if you want to just hear what was good about the movie jump to this timecode there may be very minor spoilers for solo within this video coming that number five is the throw away Big Boss in the beginning of the movie there's some exposition we were introduced to what should be a big boss then after the first few minutes that big boss is replaced by another big bed maybe the original big boss's role will be explored in a prequel to the spin-off and number four it's predictable I'm not saying solo is predictable because you know where the characters end up the potential twists in solo are relatively easy to spot they kind of hit you over the head with foreshadowing solo doesn't have to be like Westworld intricate but maybe it could have been a little bit more complex and number three solo is light on plot so here's the structure of the solo movie heist chase heist chase heist chase and then a heist and then the final fight now that might not exactly be correct but it's roughly right while solo looks great visually it just doesn't have much of a story if this is a video game I think people would have the same complaints it's a little too repetitive without much story did it mention it was repetitive and number two are the low stakes okay so you're no han solo Lando and Chewie are safe nothing entirely horrible can happen to them in the solo movie because we know their story thanks to Star Wars but here's the thing I've watched Paddington - it's a movie about a talking bear living with the family and you know nothing could really happen to Paddington but the writing creates suspense and you fear for the lead in a children's movie that hardly ever happens in solo the stakes are so low in solo yeah I heard that too it's hard to get invested in the movie before we get to number one let's talk about what worked in solo the visual and practical effects were great without an over-reliance on CG then there are some fanservice elements that will make any Star Wars fan smile Hans Ark throughout the film was good if not a little underdeveloped Paul Bettany's work was really fun but the best thing about solo was Lando played by Donald Glover he might have been so good that he stole the movie that's probably why Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says a spin-off for Lando is in the cards and the worst thing about solo is it's just a cog we now have this giant Star Wars machine the originals the prequels the sequels and the side stories are all a part of it these Star Wars stories movies have the opportunity to be different than the Skywalker saga roll one brought a grittiness to Star Wars solo does not really bring anything new to the greater Star Wars universe it's just another cog that fits in with the Star Wars machine does that make solo a bad movie no it's not a bad movie it's actually pretty solid but when you leave characters a sneaky smuggler you have some rich material to mine but solo really didn't do that did you enjoy solo a Star Wars story let me know what to think of the movie am I as a colonel see you online you
