The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

SOLO - I know everyone hated on this film, but we get a space western mixed with a heist movie. Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover are icing on the cake. Plus we get a robot uprising. 5 bags of popcorn and throw in a couple of those Darth Vader cups.

I did not enjoy the sequels, but Solo? Yeah, that is a solid fun time. I even have a Solo T-shirt that I still wear on occasion.

I don't think this is really a hot take. I know quite a few star wars fans and most of them (including me) love Solo, even those who can't stand any of the other new movies.

For some reason I was thinking you were talking about that Mario Van Peebles movie

Yea I enjoyed Solo, good popcorn flick

It's easily the best Star Wars movie in the last 30 years. Its only major faults are some bits of bad cinematography and a bit of cringey fan service.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's Rogue One.

I did like Solo, but can't but feel it would have been better had the main character not been Han Solo, because nobody was really going to live up to Harrison Ford in the originals.

Its easily Roque One, Theres just no competition movie wise. In general its Andor, that show was just peak Star Wars

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago

Nah, Rogue One is as bad as the other sequels. The main character is about as interesting as a wet dish rag. Several of the side characters are annoying. Zombie Tarkin. There's no story arc or characters that are worth caring about and the entire plot is just a thin excuse to have cringey fan service and CG action scenes.
