My young fella is about to turn 7 and has become obsessed with SW so I’m looking forward to taking him to see this for his first actual cinema showing of a SW film.

Side note, the week leading into ANZAC day, he had to draw soldiers from World War 1 as a school project.

I nearly cried when he drew AT AT Walkers and Storm Troopers blitzing the trenches of Hoth!!!!! Not quite WW1 mate, but it’ll do.

Great parenting. Akin to finding Merle Haggard on your kid's iPod.

Mostly along the lines of “its fun”
So don’t think we should go in expecting anything too deep.

So it looks like the prequel trilogy might end up being neccessary viewing before I go and see "Solo".

words used most are

* boring
* pacing sucks
* doesn't flow well
* the kid playing solo is good
* the kid playing lando is great

Donald Glover owns this movie apparently.
Yep. He is the only common praise this movie is receiving at the moment.
A lot saying that it's just an average cash grab flick.

But as always these days you gotta take critical reviews with a grain of salt.

Woody + Star Wars = WIN

A lot of trolls have been bombing review scores for Star Wars and Marvel movies recently, so it is always worth taking community scores with a grain of salt

Why make a decision to see (or not see) a movie based on other people's opinions? By all means perhaps adjust your expectations but it's up to you if you like it or not.

This "i'll wait, thanks." attitude is BS.

Why assume that these reviews are the sole reason I have chosen to wait to see it? How about that I work 14 hour days minimum and simply don't have the time, or that I'm not into star wars as much as I used to be.

If the reviews labelled the movie a must-see and I raced out to see it on opening night complete with rock hard dick in hand, nobody would say shit.
