Scruffy-looking untitled Han Solo film thread
- Thread starter Skywalker
- Start date
Now, I know you're not dissing Pawn Stars.
Meh, while Cacoon was a good classic Sci-fi..I think the other geriatric sci-fi movie I liked better was Batteries not included. It was the Chappie of it's day. Ron may do a good job of clean up from the disaster the other directors were doing, so the movie will be able to fit into the corporate Safe property Disney is so fond of doing in their franchises. The formula needs to be established to duplicate going forward for maximized Greed over actual art and innovation. It's the assembly line that made Ford, not just the car. Disney is the assembly line of franchises, as is most of Hollywood these days. That's why many of us are getting bored with the corporate staleness in franchises like Avengers, star wars, and so on..popcorn theatre and real good sci-fi are getting tiresome, boring, and stale. Hope Howard can throw some fixes and curve balls, tho corporate dills at Disney will have to approve for it to happen.

Well, since I think that the last thing the MCU movies and the two last SW movies are is boring or stale, I just hope that Han Solo is up to the high standards that Kennedy/Disney have for SW. If Disney is an assembly line, 99% of the time they're an amazing one and succeed better then DC just letting Snyder pull shit out of his ass and not understand the characters he writers, or FOX having one very inconsistent writer/producer do almost every FOX superhero movie and fail about half the time.
The only real thing Disney has against it franchise wise, in my opinion, is Pirates of the Carribean. I actually like all of the first three, but at this point its the only Disney franchise that last every spark it had and just needs to die. but, luckily the MCU isn't anywhere close to that (and probably never will be) and I honestly don't think its possibly for SW to get to that point. Pirates suffered by really only existing for one character and the people making them running out of ideas. The MCU and Star Wars have whole universes to pull from, and will probably remain fine for a long, long time. Not that there can't be some stinkers (the MCU has Iron Fist, inhumans and Spider-Man Homecoming, and SW could eventually have a bad movie, and if they did I cold definitely see it being Han Solo's film).
But Disney is successful because they generally puut out great stuff from most of their various franchises, and I don't think that's going to change any time soon.

Out of personal curiosity did you watch Pirates 5? Because I thought tht film actually added to the mythos far better than even 3 or 4 did.

Pirates 5 might have been better than 3 or 4, but let's not pretend that's the same as being a good movie.
I thought it was well done, save for a few over the top moments with Jack (what else is new?) I was invested in Henry's journey and really liked the resolution of Will Turner's storyline. I thought the film added a lot to the world building.
It may not have been "a great movie" and there are a lot of things I would change, but I would put it in the "good movie" class.
I've gotta disagree here, I've been very happy with what we've been getting with the Disney's big two franchises. I think it's pretty clear they are putting a lot of effort into making them the best movies possible. If it was just a assembly line then we wouldn't have gotten things like what happened with Solo.
Before someone jumps in, I do know they just want to make money, but they also seem to be intelligent enough to know that the way to make money is by releasing good movies, or at least movies the majority of people like.
Yeah, Disney didn't shell out a few billion for a franchise just to run it into the ground in the space of a few years with a bunch of shallow assembly line sequels. They're in it for the long haul and the only way that's a sustainable proposition is if they keep up at least a minimum level of quality.
I haven't seen it yet. I probably will eventually. I liked 3 pretty well, but really disliked 4. 5 doesn't seem like it will be an improvement, but I liked the first 3 movies enough to keep watching the sequels.
I didn't watch 4 at all because it looked so bad. My brother asked me afterwards if I had seen it and if I was confused by the plot at all. I said "No, I figured it out from context clues." I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure plot, and I felt it was more in the spirit of the first one that the other sequels.
Especially after he became a cannibal.
He eats up movies he's in and leaves little behind but blood and entrails.
No, nobody wants him because he's an out-of-control liability and has become a bad-boy fuck up just like Brad Renfro, Mark Frechette, Edward Furlong, and a whole other host of young male bad-boy actors who begin great and then destroyed their careers through bad boy bullshit.

Mark Whalberg is doing great as a contrast tho..
Because he fixed up himself and began to walk a straight church line, as older religion-minded Afro-Americans used to say.
Or as country folk say, the boy got some Geezus!
Disney Apparently Expects ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ To Bomb
Personally, I was never particularly enthusiastic or optimistic about this movie.
Sources close to the film’s production were saying the same for Wonder Woman.
