I thought Solo was a good film other than bits that tried to make it about Han Solo, then, not so much. Not “nobody asked for this” more that with cool enigmatic characters, or mysterious back stories, mystical forces, unless it is all meticulously planned out before hand it rarely lived up to expectations.
Add to that the calibre of Harrison Ford, the iconic performance of the role, it wasn’t ever going to live up to that. For me, Solo is like most of the prequels/sequels/spin offs. They haven’t added anything of enough value to the mysteries or back stories, they haven’t shown great motivations or origins for the characters I loved in the first place.
With exceptions.
Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t keep playing with the toys, but they should be more careful with them.
