SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY [Blu-ray]

Everything is OK. Good quality.

I can't understand the negativity around this movie. I get a lot of people didn't like The Last Jedi. But this is not that movie. In fact it simply does what it says on the tin - tells the story of a younger Han Solo. It manages to pack in a lot of the fun of the original Star Wars: A New Hope. It is a romp. It's not full of too many serious issues and it should appeal to anyone who enjoyed the original trilogy. It is certainly a lot lighter in tone than Rogue One - which I also love - but it's good to have contrast. Also what humour is present is entirely justified. There are certainly lots of thrills too. And you see a lot of events which are referred to in the other movies. As a long time follower of Star Wars, one thing I noticed is how this movie seems to reference Han's adventures both in the early Marvel comics and the Brian Daley books. It underlines that the Empire isn't the only threat in the galaxy and we see more of the scoundrel and less of the rebel. That's what make this stand out for me. It harks back to the original repetition of Han as we first saw him. Han isn't an anodyne hero. In fact, he's trying hard not to be a hero. There is a sequence towards the end where we see the harder side of him which we only glimpse in A New Hope - think Greedo. It is obvious that the movie has been left in such a way that a follow up could be made. I hope we get at least one, but it could just as easy be left as it is. Overall a more accessible entry into the canon that say The Last Jedi - although I enjoyed that too, but for different reasons. Also there are shedloads of Easter eggs to keep fans happy. And a big surprise just tops that off. If you are wondering if this is worth getting, do yourself a favour and get it. You may even enjoy it.

Good film I enjoyed it.thank you

I don't care what anyone else says, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! A great addition to the Star Wars story!

A Star Wars Story for a family movie night was a real gamble, but I’m happy to report it paid off! We were a little worried that a Star Wars movie without the main crew might feel a bit empty, but Alden Ehrenreich’s portrayal of a young Han was so spot-on that we were able to Han-dle it just fine. The action sequences were a blast, and seeing the Kessel Run in all its glory was a real treat. My biggest criticism, however, is that the lighting in some of the scenes was so dark we almost needed a hyperspace jump just to see what was happening! Overall, a great family night and a solid addition to the Star Wars universe that's worth the rental fee.

Much better than I had thought it would be. Plenty of fast paced action scenes.

I was a bit sceptical about this one, how would new actors fit into roles made famous in the original trilogy? Was it just going to be a cheap appeal to diehard Star Wars fans? Scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas? Maybe it is squeezing the franchise, and maybe it is existing on the back of fan loyalty but I found it a thoroughly enjoyable romp that made The Last Jedi look utter rubbish (which in fairness probably wasn't much of a feat). The film has some terrific set piece action sequences and superb effects (as you'd expect from a Star Wars film) but what is maybe surprising is how well Alden Ehrenreich pulled off the part of Han Solo and Donald Glover as Lando Calrisian. Paul Bettany is great as the villain of the piece but I thought the role that stole the film was Woody Harrelson as Tobias Beckett, a sort of likeable rogue who veers between hero of the movie and villain. Emilia Clarke provides Han Solo's pre-Princess Leia love interest. All of the cast play their roles well, it may not be Shakespeare but they throw the right amount of tongue in cheek humour and seriousness into it and it all feels like great fun. The story is an old fashioned heist movie, it takes place in the Star Wars universe but the normal villains (the Empire) are at the edges and the rebellion is only really mentioned obliquely. At least a Star Destroyer and some TIE fighters put in a brief appearance and there are a few storm troopers to make sure it feels like a Star Wars movie. The story fills in some of the Han Solo back story and shows him in the Imperial army and how he met Chewie. Overall the film manages to capture the spirit of the early Star Wars movies (part throw away entertainment, part tongue in cheek and part sinister threat) far better than either the three prequels or the two films of the latest trilogy that have been released. Ron Howard is his usual reliable self as director (always a safe pair of hands) and it feels very professionally done. It's funny how the two spin off movies (Rogue One and Solo) have both been much better films than the prequels or the ltest trilogy. Recommended to both Star Wars fans and those not really into that whole franchise.

Ho acquistato la versione 3D perchè appassionato di 3D (possiedo un proiettore con matrice nativa 4K d'alta qualità e luminosità, adoro i prodotti 3D). Catena Audio con pre e finali Krell. Purtroppo l'audio italiano non è disponibile. C'è la traccia inglese, polacca e tedesca. L'inglese in DTS ( fondamentalmente mediocre, purtroppo, piatto e ben poco dinamico) che è l'unica che ho usato per via del fatto che conosco bene questa sola lingua delle tre. Da quanto ne so non esiste una versione italiana in 3D (come sempre più spesso accade da anni) e questo è davvero triste, perchè se è vero che la lingua inglese per me non rappresenta un problema è anche vero che andrà a finire che godrò della visione di questo disco sempre da solo (...) il 3D non è molto evidente. Alcuni passaggi sono lievemente più riusciti della media in termini qualitativi (definitivamente piuttosto bassi). La maggior parte delle scene è scura. Il mio proiettore è di fascia top, con una profondità nelle ombre "proverbiale" (per essere un digitale, beninteso) per cui alla fine riesco a godere l'intero film, ma immagino che con proiettori meno "generosi" in apertura delle ombre questo film si possa godere ben poco. Per quanto riguarda la qualità video direi in definitiva che si tratti d'un bluray mediocre (naturalmente ho visionato anche la versione 2D, scarsa in termini di contrasto e dettaglio come la versione 3D). Il contenuto filmico invece è del tutto piacevole e pienamente godibile: uno spin-off riuscito sotto ogni punto di vista. Un minimo di spoiler (parziale): a parte gli elementi Han Solo, Chewbecca, Lando e Millenium Falcon si potrebbe considerare un film del tutto autonomo, pienamente godibile al di fuori del ciclo di Star Wars. La storia è consistente, gli effetti speciali spettacolari, i colpi di scena non mancano, la storia sentimentale del protagonista è sviluppata degnamente e gli attori sono all'altezza della situazione, sempre. Il film lo considero da otto pieno, uno dei migliori acquisti di quest'anno, indubbiamente.

pourquoi ce film n'a pas marché? Je pense que les gens sont trop attachés à Harrison Ford et Eiden Ehrenreich ne lui ressemble pas assez? On a ici une aventure qui respecte l'univers, avec les bas fonds de Corellia, le monde en guerre Corida, la planète marécage Mimban, Vandor et l'attaque du train, Kessel et la mine de coaxium, le désert de Savareen, Numidian la tropicale, tous étant bien intégrés dans l'univers, avec des stormtrooper, contrebandiers, races extraterrestres ... Les personnages principaux sont extra : Han, Qi-Ra, Beckett, Chewbacca, L3-37, Dryden Vos, avec en guest Lando Calrissian, Anthony Daniel, Ray Park et Warwick Davis ; les acteurs principaux sont très attachants et charismatiques. Les références à l'univers sont nombreuses, comme comment Han a gagné le Faucon millénaire, le Kessel run en 12 parsecs. L'histoire se tient bien, avec Han qui va devoir prouver sa valeur ou tromper l'ennemi (ou essayer), la rencontre avec Chewbacca, l'équipage de Beckett qui va perdre quelques membres - et montrer au jeune Han qu'il ne faut pas trop s'attacher. Et Qi-Ra, femme qui partage beaucoup de qualités avec Leïa, excellemment jouée par Emilia Clarke, qui n'arrive pas à avouer les choses qu'elle a faite dans le Crimson Dawn mais se range du côté de Han quand elle peut. Et très grand regret de ne pas voir évoluer le personnage dans Solo 2 que nous ne verrons jamais. Donc un grand plaisir à voir ce film et tristesse qu'il n'ait pas marché au box office.

Entertaining and fun to watch movie.

Très bien

Pedido en buen estado. La edición tiene ilustraciones de los personajes y es caja metálica. Sí tiene castellano la película, que hay gente que dice que no. Lo que no tiene, pero sí subtítulos, son los extras, como toda la vida. Edición muy recomendable si te gusta Star Wars. Sí, es Blu-ray.
