unlike most of the recent "Star Wars" films, "Solo" feels more like a character study than an epic sci-fi adventure...It's all fun and rollicking enough
Solo: A Star Wars Story is a crackingly enjoyable adventure which frankly deserves full episode status in the great franchise; With Howard at the controls, the movie is a fun-fuelled entertainment
one of the greatest pleasures of the film is how it digs into the slow evolution of Han's lifelong taste for rebellion, one that will eventually lead him to become part of a collective resistance
despite the intermittent lags, the production proves to be more than a salvage operation thanks mainly to those engagingly choreographed performances, led by an irresistibly charismatic title turn from Alden Ehrenreich
an unrelenting thrill-ride with little respite; this is a film that enriches the "Star Wars" experience, it doesn't ruin it – and for that we're eternally grateful, and really rather hopeful now of a sequel
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" is more mild than wild, a pleasant way to pass the time instead of a game-changer. And this thinly-sketched, stand-alone origin story doesn't quite wipe the grin off Han's face --it's too timid for that
