FFCC Members on ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’
FFCC members on Ron Howard’s Star Wars spin-off Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Allison Hazlett, FlickDirect
“As a standalone film, Solo: A Star Wars Story has a good plot, interesting characters, and well-done action scenes.”
Dan Hudak, Punch Drunk Movies
“Everything is catered to, and minimized for, the largest possible audience, and as a result the movies lack conviction and integrity. George Lucas’ original and prequel trilogies certainly weren’t flawless, but at least those flaws weren’t as egregiously pandering as this.”
Steven Lebowitz, Screen Queen
“Disney may feel all they have to do is slap ‘Star Wars’ in front of a title and they’ll make a ton of money regardless of the quality, but if they keep heaping garbage like this on the fans, that won’t be the case for long.”
Hans Morgenstern, Independent Ethos
“Solo has a sense of substance and thrilling grittiness that’s been missing from the other Star Wars movies since the original trilogy hit theaters in the ‘70s and ‘80s.”
Ruben Rosario, Miami Art Zine
“Solo is the French vanilla of Star Wars movies. Its personality is a tad on the bland side, and it fights a losing battle to avoid predictability. But there’s a satisfying pull to director Ron Howard’s classical approach to the material, as well as a welcome reserve when it comes to doling out fan service moments.”
Alfred Soto, Humanizing the Vacuum
“Treat Solo as if it were a mid eighties Paul McCartney album. GRADE: C+”
