Alden Ehrenreich "may" end up being very good in the role, but he's never gonna be Harrison Ford as Han Solo. Expand Yeah, I just don't get how any Star Wars wouldn't want to see the Han Solo movie. I thought Nicholson was awesome as the Joker, but I still gave Heath Ledger a chance. Because Batman. 1

It's not as good but not as horrible as I thought it was going to be. They switch it up so it isn't a rich B word (Hawn) anymore it's a spoiled rich dude. Hollywood won't show a woman in any negative way lol. At least not a lead. Going in I expected a 2/10 and got a 4.5/10. Not bad enough for me to want to walk out. Not good enough to recommend or watch again.

Expand A month or so ago, one of my wife's friends wanted to get a bunch of girls together to go watch this premier night. Wife was dreading the text that may come if this horrible plan came together as the opening approached. I saw the anxious look on her face every time a "Book Club" commercial was on tv. Thankfully, for the wife, something fell apart and the girls night out to endure the "Book Club" never came off. Part of me wanted her to be forced to watch that thing then she would know how it feels to be dragged to a dog of a movie. No one should have to go see this though. Just not right. 1 1

We all know that Harrison Ford will always be Han Solo, but you're only setting yourself up to hate this movie, because Harrison Ford is not in it. Give it a chance, and see what Alden Ehrenreich can do. Because you might have to get used to him. From what I have read, they want to make two more Solo movies with him.

That didn't work out so well. Then there was the attempt to replace him with Shia Labouf. We're not off to a great start here. 2

Although in this situation I don't see it as Ford being replaced, because they are about young Han Solo.

shrader Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I'm not ready to call it better, but it was very good. I'm really not sure if I could pick one right now.

LeviF Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Saw Deadpool last night. Great film, I wouldn't put it entirely on par with the first but IMO it's very close. Two red band trailers in my screening, one for Happytime Murders and one for Sorry to Bother You.

That's the first time I've seen one of those in a theater.
Wayne Cubed Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I saw Deadpool this past weekend, I'd say it is maybe on par with the first if only a little less. Where it falls down a bit for me is the plot, his character journey in the movie is a bit forced. The comedy is gold though and probably better than the first.

DC Tom Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Based on the previews for Solo, I am really looking forward to seeing Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.
Buffalo_Gal Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Saw Deadpool 2 today, and concur with the others in this thread - at least as good as the first one.
