If there are any sequels to this prequel, maybe Ehrenreich can grow into the role and own it. He captures all the nuances and mannerisms of Han Solo and his depiction is on point. I was admittedly jaded going in as there is a Star Wars fan film on YouTube called Han Solo: A Smuggler's Trade where the actor is the personification of a young Harrison Ford. We can't help but make that comparison and those are tough shoes to fill. His depiction of Han Solo is not terrible but is rather dry and lacks the charm and wit of his predecessor Harrison Ford. My biggest reservation was and is Alden Ehrenreich.
That being said, these points are woven into a story that flowed well that I actually had fun watching.
The movie was predictable in the sense that it's a prequel and many points of story progression are predetermined. It was a pretty solid summer sci-fi action film that had some laughs with some likeable characters that reasonably fits in the Star Wars mythology. I tried to keep an open mind to let the film stand on its own merit. (2) I questioned the casting of the lead role (we'll get to that later). I had reservations going in (1) I had heard ticket sales were sub par. Finally went to see Solo in his first.solo.
