Important spoiler: The actor survived at the end of the movie, but was not with the heroine.

If you haven’t seen the spoilers above, please read on.

The story revolves around super fuel that looks like an aphrodisiac. The protagonist Han and his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend Qi'ra grew up in an old industrial base that didn't seem to have much vitality. Like most young people, they wanted to leave here, so they took the stolen bottle of fuel as a toll for the road. As a result, they were chased by a local snake who was severely allergic to ultraviolet rays and didn't like to wear sunscreen. When passing the customs, the couple separated. From then on, Han determined to return to his hometown in fine clothes and save his lover.

Han, who has the dream of a pilot, went to sign up for the military. The registration officer asked him to provide his full name and family information. However, Han said he had no family and was a solo player, so he named Han Solo.

Because his thoughts [BEEP] could not be cured, Han failed to become a pilot, and was sent to be cannon fodder on the land battlefields all over the trenches. At this moment he was not a solo player anymore, seeing a Captain with a good pistol, he hurried up and hugged his thigh.

Pistol Captain Tobias Beckett and his wife Val are played by Woody Harrison and Tandy Newton. The two have also starred in HBO's hit TV series "True Detective" and "Western World" respectively, as well as acting as the film's female actress. The protagonist's dragon mother Emilia Clarke, so this movie is actually the HBO version of "The Avengers", but unfortunately it is PG13.

Han saw that Captain Pistol and the group were not serious soldiers and wanted to participate in their illegal activities, so that he would have the capital to go back and save his girlfriend. However, Captain Pistol refused to be threatened by him. Instead, the wicked complained first, causing Han to be treated as a spy and thrown to feed the beast.

You don't need to be very imaginative to guess that the so-called beast is Chubacca who is destined to entangle Han Solo for a lifetime. The two didn't know each other and fell to death. Han Solo didn't hold back a hiccup, which happened to be close to Chubaka's native dialect. Only then did Han Solo realize the importance of mastering a foreign language. He used his awkward Wookie to get close to Chubakka, and negotiated to escape from prison together.

A big iron rod was inserted in the middle of the dungeon. Under the guidance of Han Solo, Chubaka repeatedly bumped it several times, and the dungeon collapsed. So, what use do you want this iron rod for? The two who successfully escaped caught up with Captain Pistol's plane. The team led by Captain Pistol is actually the Railway Tour [Beep] team. The goal of this mission is a train wagon full of super fuel. Han Solo and Chubacka also participated in the mission as temporary team members, and they plan to make a profit after it is done. A little oil and water. By the way, Han Solo also showed his enthusiasm for learning "Coach, I want to shoot a [beep] gun" with the pistol captain, and got a pistol from the coach that he will give to his daughter-in-law as a bride price in the future.

The next train robbery scene is the small climax of the first half of the film. Audiences of this "Snow Country Train" visual wonder have seen a lot in recent years, and Captain America alone contributed two. Compared to similar products, "Range Solo" is done fairly well. A very realistic purpose of setting up this scene is to ensure that the audience will not fall asleep in the first half an hour. Of course, if it still fails to help you overcome your sleepiness, rest assured to sleep, because most of the latter part is not as interesting as this paragraph.

Everything did not go smoothly according to the plan, and the competitors were beaten halfway. In the end, no one got the fuel. The captain of the pistol lost his wife and broke the driver. He had to go to the cruel boss with Han Solo and Chubaka to ask for mercy. deal with. This big boss is the steward of Iron Man, and the old driver who sacrificed before was the driver of Iron Man, so if you need fuel, you don’t need to grab it. You can ask Iron Man directly. Research on clean energy is his. Main business-in addition to backing the pot and cultivating Avengers trainees.

Captain Pistol and Han Solo promised to help Big Boss Dryden, whose eyeballs and scars on his face were bloodshot, to grab a batch of fuel again, and the Big Boss queued his secretary to follow him as the overseer. The secretary is the girlfriend of Han Solo’s dreams. Originally, he planned to wear a slim leather jacket and step on the deck of a high-end spacecraft on a highly anticipated occasion, and go to marry her as a hero. She hadn't seen each other in the next year, and she was more promising than herself.

To meet the number requirements of the big boss, Han Solo and his team can only steal unrefined fuel, and this fuel is very unstable, so there must be a fast enough spacecraft to send the fuel to refining in time. So the overseer suggested that Han Solo go and corrupt Landokarissin's Millennium Falcon. Unexpectedly, Lan Duo won the card game by playing the laoqian, Han Solo did not get the spaceship, but owed a debt instead. The overseer agreed to let Landuo join in, using his spacecraft as shares to grab fuel together. Landuo also brought his deputy, the robot L3. The latter has been committed to fighting for the legal rights of the robot, and is very worried that her boss Landuo's excessive dependence on her will develop into a workplace nuisance.

Han Solo and his team came to the Black Heart Mine Planet, which has a large amount of super fuel. Master Overseer played the role of an overseer who escorted slave laborers. His unquestionable aura seemed to claim that he was "born in the storm, the king of the Andals, the Loina and the ancestors, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the whole territory." , The unburnt, the mother of dragon, the Kalixi on the grassland, the queen of Mi Lin, the shackle breaker, his elder uncle, his second uncle, all his uncles...", the local staff was frightened and gave her quickly lead the way. After successfully mixing in, Han Solo and his group began to make a noise in the mine. Chubaka accidentally met the enslaved tribe, and with the help of Han Solo, they rescued them. When this bunch of furry Wookie is holding a stick in their hands, if they are paired with "Small Knife Society Overture" or "Yun Gong Xun Yin", there is really no sense of disobedience.

When we parted, Chubaka and one of the tribe members pressed their foreheads against each other, reminding me of Caesar in the "Rise of the Apes" series. By the way, I first knew that the actor Alden Ellenrich who played Han Solo this time was through a movie called "Long Live Caesar" made by the Coen brothers. There are Thanos and Black Widow, but they are related to apes and monkeys. It doesn't matter much. In that film, Arden played an actor who was anxious to act. Later, it was reported that when he starred in this "Range Solo", his state was almost as bad as the previous screen image, which made people really sweaty. It is precisely because of this that I lower my expectations when I watch it, instead of being too disappointed. With Harrison Ford Jewels in front, it is more difficult for this young man to recreate the classics with the same role, so we saw that he tried to imitate Harrison Ford in terms of speaking rhythm and shooting actions, and his acting was not too annoying. Watching "Guardians of the Galaxy" at that time, it was obvious that Xingjue's screen image borrowed from Han Solo, and this time the new version of Han Solo borrowed Xingjue in turn. The two characters have a lot in common, for example, they both have a frightening old man. However, Xingjue really dared to beat Lao Zhangren frontally, and everyone else couldn't help it...

Every mission to rob fuel ends in widowhood. Although the goods arrived this time, L3 died heroically in the melee. Her brain circuit was downloaded to the database of the Millennium Falcon to guide everyone to move on. Landuo was also injured in order to rescue L3's body. Han Solo was finally able to fulfill his long-cherished wish and drive the Millennium Falcon personally. As soon as he gripped the joystick, he couldn't help singing "There is a kind of auspicious premonition". Chubaka volunteered to be the co-pilot. He was not recognized at the beginning. After he reported his 190-year-old age, no one would dare to question him anymore. This was a fighter among the out-and-out old drivers.

After leaving the planet Blackheart Mine, the Millennium Falcon encountered the Imperial Army again. This heavy spaceship chase scene is another climax of the whole film following the first half of the movie. If you still feel boring after watching this part, then you will treat this movie ticket as a charity. Well, donated to Disney’s Endangered Rodents Conservation Fund. Previously, "Star Trek: Beyond the Stars" was directed by Lin Yibin, the director of the "Fast and Furious" series, and the director of this "Star Wars" biography was Lang Howard, who was famous for his biopic. He had previously filmed based on real people. Adapted from the real story, "The Speed ​​of Speed" tells the story of Thor and Zemo racing for a lifetime. Obviously, the racing experience of these directors is of great value to the space blockbusters that are flying the spacecraft if they don’t agree with each other.

In addition to avoiding the Empire’s Titanium fighters, Han Solo and his team also had to guard against the tentacle monsters who suddenly showed big eyes like Sadako. In the end, relying on years of hard work drilling technology and a series of other suffocating operations that I can't think of, Han Solo evaded the enemy's chase and killed the Millennium Falcon and arrived safely on the fuel-refining planet. At this time, Han Solo began to imagine a bright future, and he planned to take his childhood sweetheart overseer and sister to fly away after the task was completed. But the latter did not intend to give up the promising career of being a secretary for the underworld boss.

Han Solo, who was frustrated in love, was surrounded as soon as he went out, and it was the masked group of people who had prevented them from stealing the train before that appeared before him. At this time, Lando drove off the Millennium Falcon very unscrupulously. Han Solo originally thought he was going to finish, but he didn't expect that under the fierce mask, there was actually a girl. From then on, the film entered a crazy reversal stage. The director was afraid that the audience would think the plot of the play was thin, so one reversal after another, even if Han Solo drove the Millennium Falcon, it did not turn so much.

The girl said that the big boss would do bad things when he got the fuel, and countless planets would be devastated, so it is better to donate it to her for charity. Han Solo's face suddenly showed a full smile. It turned out that the girl didn't want him anymore, so it was better to be a favor at this time, so he agreed to the girl's request.

The captain of the pistol said that he did not want to continue to drip in the muddy water, and he wanted to slip to the planet Tatooine, where there are full of development opportunities, and he can engage in various occupations such as waste picking, trash picking, and waste recycling. He told Han Solo that if he couldn't get along anymore, he could go to him. After bidding farewell to the coach who taught him how to shoot the gun, Han Solo and Qi'ra, the overseer, went to find the boss.

The big boss said that your fakes are quite real, but unfortunately you can't deceive me. I knew you were going to rebel. It turned out that the pistol coach didn't really run away, but went to inform the big boss. Han Solo seemed to fall into the wind, but suddenly smiled evilly, saying that I knew you had known that I was going to rebel, so I didn't bring the fake to see you, and the man you sent out to grab the real got caught me. Ambush, now you are a lonely man, coach you to fuck him quickly, if you fuck him, all these things belong to you. But the coach is not stupid, he only did the little brother who wielded the big sword behind the big boss, and then intimidated Chubaka to help him carry the fuel away.

The big boss is just like the illusion in "Avengers 3", it is not useful, and finally he was cut to death by his secretary with a big sword. Han Solo thought he could finally get married with his childhood sweetheart, but Qi'ra persuaded him to chase Chubakka because Chubakka needed him more than he did. So which pair is the official match is already obvious.

Missing the love with Han Solo, Qi'ra had to inherit hundreds of millions of fortunes from the big boss, become the new big boss, and make a video call with the organization's online Dasmo. By the way, wasn't this guy hacked to death in the first part of the prequel? In addition, I thought that Sith is a master with a disciple, there is an emperor and a lord, why do you want this stuff? At first, it was speculated that the heroine of this movie would die at the end, but it was only blackened. It seems that I am planning to make a sequel, but this one really doesn't have to be.

Han Solo caught up with the pistol coach, and the two began to work hard. In the end, Han Solo was slightly better. With his help, the girl got super fuel. The so-called charity is actually the preparation of military resources for the resistance. Han Solo refused the girl's invitation, and took Chubaka together as a ranger, wandering around the world.

The two waved to Landuo's territory and once again decided the outcome with him at the gambling table. This time, Han Solo destroyed the opponent's sleeves ahead of time, making him unable to become an old man, and finally won the Millennium Falcon.

The combined duration of the two gambling scenes in the movie quickly caught up with the two action scenes I mentioned above, so gambling [BEEP] has become an important part of the main storyline. Director Wang Jing once said that if everyone who made a gambling film paid him copyright fees, then he would have been rich in the enemy's country. Nowadays, Disney is also making gambling films. I think Director Wang can try to ask for salary.

Those who open their mouths and talk about respect for intellectual property rights can be so hard-hearted, not because they are not afraid of shadows, but simply because they are richer and more powerful today. In fact, look at their early years. His history is not necessarily so glorious. I believe everyone has long admired the copycat skills of the generation of Hong Kong filmmakers represented by Wang Dao. And Disney, which has always liked to act as a copyright policeman, started out by remaking fairy tales, and did not pay a dime for the copyright, but wanted to take the wisdom of the predecessors as its own, and later published "The Lion King" for reference. "The "Forest King" matter.

Big capitalists want to monopolize resources and therefore behave extremely harshly in terms of copyright. This is not difficult to understand, but they must pretend to be a messenger of justice and say that copyright is to encourage creation, which is nonsense. After Disney bought the copyright of "Star Wars", is it working hard to create it? Has the idea of ​​George Lucas, the true creator and father of Star Wars, been fully respected? The unpretentious "Star Wars 7", I don't know the so-called "Star Wars 8", in addition to the surprises of "Rogue One" (but also largely stained with the light of the old version), this brand is falling into After Disney's hands, there is no new vitality, and it will only continue to consume the classics of the year.

This time the "Range Solo" is the same. You should fight, you should make trouble. With a process that you can basically guess, you can mediocrely finish a story that you already know the ending. At the same time, in order not to conflict with a few original stories, the format of the film had to be compressed as much as possible. My previous criticism of "Avengers 3" applies here too, and the situation is more serious-"Avengers 3" is at least lively enough.

In the past few years, Disney has been holing its mind about how to make the "Star Wars" brand popular in China. "Rogue One" looked for Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen, and "Star Wars 8" also let the crosstalk actor Yue Yunpeng play the heroine (by mistake), but they had little effect. I think this IP must be localized fundamentally. Like this time, "Ranger Solo", it is very good to establish a connection with the feelings of Hong Kong movies of the Chinese audience, adding the element of gambling. On this basis, continue to make the following adjustments, the film will be successful.

First of all, the title was changed to "The Gambler Solo", and then the Chinese star was reorganized into the starring lineup. The role of Woody Harrison was played by Zhou Yunfa, Han Solo was played by Andy Lau, and Chubakka was played by Xiang Huaqiang. Lan Duo asked Zhou Xingchi to act, and then changed the opening subtitles "A long, long time ago, in a distant galaxy..." to be more grounded. The audience does not need to be that long. It is better to be lively, such as "The first online casino in the galaxy is online." La", according to my thinking, the box office in mainland China will start at least 3 billion yuan.
