This movie is plenty funny, even if it's not the all-out comedy fans may have expected when directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were in charge. That grayness, thankfully, does not extend to Solo's tone. The action ranges from messy to exhilarating, and all of it has a desperate edge that fits with the story Solo is trying to tell. Lando, with, his technicolor dream capes, is one of the only reliable sources of color in this entire thing. Just about everything is rendered in mud-brown or concrete-gray. Solo really only works if you care a whole lot about Han Solo. Solo is the most intimate, ground-level Star Wars movie we've ever gotten, and the visuals are correspondingly gritty and grimy. Which is fortunate, because Solo really only works if you care a whole lot about Han – either because you're a diehard fan from way back, or because you're a newbie who simply likes the cut of Ehrenreich's jib.įor once, this is a Star Wars movie that's more interested in the small picture than the big one.
Your mileage may vary, but it took this reviewer about seven minutes to decide she was fully on board with this version of Han. That reassurance comes quickly, thank goodness.
