This movie has a great (if a bit hit-or-miss) director in Ron Howard, and a great co-screenwriter in Lawrence Kasdan, as well as a pretty good cast, and yet almost every time I hear people talk about this movie they are predicting it's gonna be a box office bomb. Also, despite the fact that we have literally seen zero footage, most people seem to be sure that it's going to be bad (or at least not very good).

Well in fairness, the behind-the-scenes troubles and rumors don't inspire confidence. And it's extremely unusual to not see any footage for a Star Wars movie that ostensibly comes out in another 4 months. That said, I am weary of the threads that start talking about this movie then shift to complaining about something else.

I am tired of the trash talking of the movie, but there's a reason for for it. Besides not having a trailer released, there hasn't been any production stills released in advance, which is pretty shocking. I still hope the movie does well.

Yes. But i'm also tired of waiting for a trailer. It cancels each other...

What's so great about the cast? lol---and when was the last time Ron Howard made a successful film? |

What's so great about the cast? lol---and when was the last time Ron Howard made a successful film? Well, Inferno made a profit... I think, Rush was pretty great ( no money maker but great), Angels and demons made almost half a billion, The Da vinci code made 750 million in 2006, Beautiful mind, and apollo 13. Of those i liked Rush and Apollo 13 the others meh. I think Ron Howard is a meh director... He films like he is coloring a by the numbers book... So i'm not holding my breath for SOLO. Beat by beat he will deliver what is asked of him, the aquisition of the mileenium falcon, some smuggling, imperial entanglments, the kessel run, some romance, some chewbacca. Nothing new MEH |

I don't know about failure, but I'm not expecting this movie's box office performance to be something Disney will be proud of.

I'm kind of tired of this trend (I guess it would be called a Trend?) of tearing down movies before there's even a single promotional photo released. I miss just coming online and finding other people also being excited because, "Oh yes! A new Star Trek movie! A new Wonder Woman movie! A new fantasy film!" instead of coming to the internet and finding, "Oh wow, milking it" or, "Are we officially out fresh ideas, we have to have a sequel?"
I think the trailer looks solid, I've seen some of these actors in other stuff and they did well, plus I've always enjoyed the Ron Howard movies I've seen. I don't think Disney would risk screwing this up. Frankly, this is probably one of the most beloved characters Disney owns, outside their Princesses and cartoon characters of course, and Disney does not want that blowing up in their faces. They want this to be a success. They want us to come in, see the movie, enjoy it enough to see it again and bring a friend to see it, to buy copies when they release it to home video, to buy the actions figures/legos/Halloween costumes/stickers for the car, and to come watch the sequel.

It's a Star Wars movie. It's not going to bomb.

I predict Solo will be a failure as well, but more from an artistic perspective. Admittedly, I am not very good at soothsaying considering the fact that I predicted TLJ would be artistically good and it turned out to be one of those menstrual blood paintings instead, so don't take my word for it.

ah you again, are we following on another foolish crusade to shill the hell out of Disney properties?
The greatest teacher failure is. I predict it will fail moderately on an artistic and commercial level, but sincerely hope for the best.
