First SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Reactions Are Here - Is It Another PHANTOM MENACE Or EMPIRE STRIKES BACK?
Just hours after the first reactions to Deadpool 2 surfaced, critics are already weighing in on Solo: A Star Wars Story but does the movie crumble after those production problems or exceed expectations?
Solo: A Star Wars Story has been plagued by behind the scenes drama from fairly early on after original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired by Lucasfilm for their unique approach to shooting the movie (which included dozens of takes and lots of improvisation, 21 Jump Street style). Ron Howard was later brought on to replace them and he's reportedly reshot a whopping 70% of the movie.
By rights, it should be a disaster up there with last year's Justice League but the first social media reactions are here after last night's premiere and they're actually overwhelmingly positive. In fact, they appear to be even better than Avengers: Infinity War and that bodes well for the latest spinoff.
At this point, Star Wars movies are pretty much immune to critics but good word of mouth will definitely help Solo, especially as it comes so soon after Deadpool 2 hits theaters. Apparently, we should expect some big surprises too and it sounds like the movie will have a big impact on this Galaxy moving forward.
