Ranger Solo: A Star Wars Story

While the Marvel Universe is in full swing, the Star Wars Universe is not far behind, and after "Rogue One", the independent film "Ranger Solo" is launched again. However, unlike the infinite scenery of Avengers 3, this film is not ideal in terms of box office and word of mouth, and the prospects are bleak.

Just as the core of the Marvel universe is superheroes, the core of the Star Wars universe is the huge and perfect Star Wars system, but it seems to have forgotten this "magic weapon" that has made it famous, but has gone too far on the way. Force, science fiction, action, westerns, wasteland and other elements are cooked in a mess, and even mixed with the issue of equality, it looks dazzling, but in fact loses the spirit of the Star Wars series.

What's more deadly is that the director seems to be driving a slow car on the highway. Steady is stable, but it is obviously out of time. Even if there are interstellar exotics, thrilling chases, and endless alien creatures, there is no fascinating dramatic tension.

Not to mention that the plot is weak, and the character building is also a big failure. The "old driver" Beckett who brought the male protagonist into the car was supposed to be a mentor, but at a critical moment, he inexplicably turned against the water, completely deviating from the inner logic of the character. ; And in order to highlight the complexity of the heroine Qila, the "reversal" scenes were staged again and again. In a film that focuses on science fiction, it seems very deliberate and too much.

If the first two important characters are as rich as an iron plate, and the hero Han Solo is as thin as a leaf, what it was at the beginning and what it is at the end, just like life, it is static and there is no interpretation at all. The charm of Harrison Ford.

The one who has to complain is the big villain Dryden Voss, who was so arrogant just a moment ago, he got his lunch box in minutes, oh no, in seconds, and he was a big boss who even "guarded with a knife" No, it's just sloppy and insane!

If it's just a popcorn movie, it may not be necessary to be so full of blame, but the Star Wars movie should obviously have higher pursuits. If you rest on your laurels, it is better to let it stay in the best moment forever.

After all, feelings belong to "non-renewable resources", and there will be a day when they will be exhausted!
