Musings on teh solo thing that just dropped

Meh...

It was a troubled production and looks to be a troubled too many cooks in the kitchen movie at the end of the day. Of course it will make a bazillion dollars and that's all disney cares about so I can't put a dent in it or anyone involved with it.

My honest opinion of it. Donald Glover is trying so hard to be something he isn't and that's a badass... so that's all we're gonna get from him, his dorky ass trying to be cool. I knew his voice wouldn't come close to Billy Dee's but Jesus he's not even trying.

Yunno hyperbole is the name of the game on the internet. Everything's the end of the known universe.... I thought people were over blowing Alden's performance as Han. He's god awful. Miscast 100% Anthony Ingruber will get the last laugh at the end of the day.

Well, the movie looks very non-star wars which is surprising. Where's the hokey pokey puppets and weirdo star wars elements? It looks like battle star galactica or star trek. Where's the star warsy aspects?

I don't blame Ron Howard in the least. He's my uncle in a lot of ways. I mean I not only grew up watching him, but his movies raised me and created my love for film and what it can do. I have no doubt his passion will ooze through the film and that part of it will work and feel right.

What won't is that he didn't have his hands in the pot from the beginning and never wanted these actors, never wanted the design to it, cinematography etc. He didn't get to pick any of that so he's stuck running behind someone else's vision and that's just not a good way to fly... just isn't...

Will not pay to see it, my final decision is made. I don't know what I'll end up doing, don't really want to bootleg it either, but I have some bits of cash saved up so I'll see something else and hop in on it take a peak then no doubt it'll leave my brain without making an impact. Yunno, proabably going to do decent but not gangbusters.

If I made this movie, it'd be so awkward, so weird, so messed up awesome star wars, you'd be so rocked off your socks, oh well, too bad...
