“Solo: A Star Wars Story” can be fun, but blends into a crowd all too well
By Tanner Kinney / June 1, 2018'Solo: A Star Wars Story' has a lot of problems. Its writing is inconsistent, it’s too visually muddy, it needed to be about 20 minutes shorter, and it needed to have its own legs to stand on. Despite all of that, there are enough great action sequences and good character moments that the film can’t be written off as completely terrible. It can, however, be written off as bland and forgettable. Much like Han Solo himself, the film is enjoyable, but flawed and ultimately unimportant.
