I just finished watching "The Ranger Solo: A Star Wars Story", and I lowered my expectations. It's okay, but it feels relatively mediocre, which is far from the previous "Rogue One".
From watching "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to now, of the four new Star Wars movies, I personally think "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is the best. Whether it's the casting, the story, to the overall rhythm, especially the part where the material is stolen at the end, it's full of epic feel.
It's a normal one-step commercial film, with no bright spots, no features, and it has not shown its own Star Wars culture well.
Han Solo is a wild and unruly person, he is the kind of person who pursues freedom. If this kind of character is played by "Star-Lord" Pratt, the audience will certainly not dislike the movie as it is now.
But it doesn't mean that the actor who plays Han is not good. In fact, it just started. Last year, when I saw the stills and posters, I also felt that the actor was not very good-looking. But when I watch a movie, I don't actually feel that way. Maybe it doesn't fit the aesthetics of the public today. He is just too ordinary.
The story of the film, as long as the first 40 minutes are passed, the rhythm will be better and there will be a climax later, and the appearance of "Dragon Mom" is still very good, and it will be more pleasing to the eye. This time Woody Harrelson's role really taught Han a lot, such as being a human being in the world, not being able to trust anyone, etc. Otherwise, he might end up being killed.
Han Solo is a very interesting mission in the Star Wars universe. If there is a second part, I hope it can be made well, and it will not be so mediocre. And the end of this one also left a foreshadowing. Han drove the Millennium Falcon spaceship, so whether there can be the next one depends on what Disney thinks.
The iconic music played in the last tens of minutes can really ignite a little, and when you see the Millennium Falcon flying, it will be a small climax, mainly because there are too few big scenes in this film and the lack of climax. But the action scenes in this film are okay, you can watch it.
The change of director and reshoots were also factors that affected the production of this film. After changing the director, more than 70% of reshoots were made, and the schedule had not been adjusted. In the end, such a work was presented. I don’t know what Disney thought. .
The Star Wars series is a series of feelings and national level in the United States, just like our "Journey to the West", but even so, if it is not innovated and improved, it will only "bury" this series step by step. The recent box office of this movie The poor results also proved this, and the audience did not buy it. Therefore, Disney headquarters should reflect on why a good card is played so badly.

Another point is that the tone of this film is very dark, so it is recommended to watch it in a hall with high 3D brightness, and Dolby Cinema is recommended.
This time, a new theater was unlocked, and the new one also unlocked another Dolby theater, the third one I watched out of the five theaters in Beijing. The first one is Fengtai Dolby Cinema, and the second one is Yaolai Wukesong. The first time I went last year was to watch "British Showdown." This time, when I came to watch "The Ranger Solo", I was shocked when I put on the pre-screening show in Dolby Cinema, and the bass was particularly shocking. It may be because of the small size of the theater, or it may be caused by the sound adjustment. Anyway, the bass is very shocking, the surround effect is very good, and the brightness is also very bright. This film is particularly dark, but in this Dolby Cinema, it was not affected by the brightness at all. Although the screen is small, it is still very good. This time, I sit in the 6th row of 10 seats, right in the middle, with my eyes just parallel to the picture, just right. But there is also a problem that sitting in the sixth row, just like watching the screen in the general hall, there is no sense of envelopment, and the immersion will decrease. If you sit in the fifth row, it is estimated that the immersion will increase a lot. This time, because it is a new Dolby glasses, it is relatively tight and just right, and the glasses legs are not as loose as glasses that have been used for more than a year. The entire hall is less than 200 seats, and it is the kind of matte sofa, which is very good, so that the sofa does not reflect the light of the screen. The row spacing is relatively narrow, and sitting on the sofa will feel a little "suffering".
That's all for today, see you next time. Bye~
