Solo: A Star Wars Story had potential, is bland... - Movie Review
The Han Solo prequel is bland -- a halfway decent improvement for Disney's Star Wars... Han, Qi'ra & Beckett have a cool, shaky alliance dynamic, but the potential for a great western tragedy gives way to a Han Solo origin movie checklist. Lando is lame. the finale is poorly shot, and there's a social justice robot...
