Solo: A Star Wars Story - Film Review

-
Solo: A Star Wars Story is directed by Ron Howard and stars Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Joonas Suotamo, and Paul Bettany.

Plot
With the emerging demand of hyperfuel and other resources, Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) finds himself in the middle of a heist alongside other criminals, where they meet the likes of Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) in an adventurous situation exposing the criminal underworld of the Star Wars saga.

Review
I will say that there are quite a few things I liked about Solo: A Star Wars Story, but there were a few things I didn't like about Solo: A Star Wars Story.

I don't want to get too much into what I thought about the movie because this is a spoiler review and I will make one of those later.

I think that this may be my least favorite of the Disney series so far, as I was slightly disappointed. There are some positives though.

The hyperspace scenes look amazing, and so does some of the action. Some of the cast is really good in the movie too.

Alden Ehrenreich was ok as Han Solo, there were some times where I was like "he's not bad", but I'm sure there are actors who could've been better at a younger Han Solo than Alden Ehrenreich, but he's not terrible.

I quite liked Woody Harrelson in the movie, he was actually one of my favorite characters.

Emilia Clarke wasn't bad as Qi'ra, but I didn't really care about her relationship with Han Solo.

Donald Glover was pretty good as Lando in my opinion. Where I couldn't see Alden as Han, it was the complete opposite for Donald, he actually feels like a younger Lando to me.

And Chewbacca was Chewbacca.

I know this was a short review but I didn't want to spoil much because I know that not many people have seen it yet.

Overall, Solo: A Star Wars Story as a minor disappointment for me. I mean I liked the movie, but there were some things I didn't like and I felt like it referenced the original trilogy too much, and the movie was a bit too (literally) dark at times, but it is enjoyable.

Solo: A Star Wars Story gets a 7/10.

Friday the 13th - Film Review

Friday the 13th-a-thon Day 1 We're getting eight days dedicated to this holiday. I'm only reviewing the ones by Paramount because I watch those every time I throw one of these. Friday the 13th is directed by Sean S. Cunningham and stars Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Kevin Bacon, and Peter Brouwer. Plot On June 13th, 1979, Camp Crystal Lake is about to be reopened, but all the counselors are killed off one by one by a mysterious killer. Review I want to get this out of the way, I do enjoy this movie, but I really only find the end interesting. There are a few more in this series I enjoy more than this. When you think about it, it's a generic slasher movie inspired by other popular slashers such as Halloween . Fun fact: Victor Miller, who wrote this movie, said that he was riding off the success of Halloween. Also, this ad was placed in Variety magazine before the script was even completed. The movie was originally called A Long Night at Camp Blood

The Nun - Film Review

The Nun is directed by Corin Hardy and stars Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, and Bonnie Aarons. Plot A priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun. Review If I could sum up how I felt about The Nun , that word would be "disappointed". The Nun is a disappointment. So this movie is a spin-off/prequel to The Conjuring 2 ,as it's about Valak, the demon nun, and it even ties into the first Conjuring , as one of the characters from this was edited into a scene with The Conjuring at the end of this movie. They even added an extra line from Ed, saying "they called him Frenchie". This movie relies way too much on jumpscares, and you can easily see when they're about to come, one of them was even in the trailers . There was even an ad pulled from YouTube because it was too scary

Plot After surviving a deadly gamma radiation accident, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) travels the world in search for a cure to his inner force of rage that turns him into a massive green monster known as the Hulk.

Running out of time and options, Banner turns to his ex Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) for help. Meanwhile, a new threat rises as power hungry soldier Emil Blonksy (Tim Roth) turns into a deadlier and more terrifying beast that can match even the Hulk's powers. Review Although this film came out the same year as Iron Man , it's not as good as Iron Man was. It's fine . This movie really doesn't have much to talk about, so this review isn't as detailed
