I am not a Star Wars fan, except that I have been baptized by the videotape of Star Wars 1 or 2 in elementary school, I have almost no basic literacy of Star Wars. I watched the previous rumored "Rogue One" before, and I started dragging the progress bar halfway through it. The story is not good. Just a bunch of cosplay things can't interest me.
But this "Ranger Solo" is obviously a lot smarter than the last rumor.
Let's start with why everyone doesn't like it, especially Star Wars fans and novel fans. It is true that this kind of trivial question is the most unacceptable to Star Wars fans: there is no way to give Star Wars fans the familiar look and feel of the big universe on the scene, there is no imaginative building complex, a deep planetary perspective and a magnificent star fleet; story; There is no way to compare it with an epic strategic political situation. He is just a little story similar to the adventures of several partners in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star-lord. From the original novel, I can also feel the rhythm of the movie that is quite critical. There is no way, there are too many things, which part should be deleted? Although it does feel that many things have a sense of haste, at least there is no logical mistake.
As a passerby audience, I don't understand Star Wars, but according to my own preferences, I think this movie is at least 7.5 above:
First of all, I like this kind of future sci-fi film designed by the older generation of filmmakers. It has a strong imagination and experimental spirit. The western cowboy-style gun-drawn showdown is in the high-tech era? Looking at it now, it can be regarded as a retro future, similar to cyberpunk and steampunk. I am very curious about the future planetary civilization imagined by the film writers and modeling designers at that time. The simple mechanical style of those aircraft and equipment is really flavorful. Retro, can you imagine the sound of "JIUJIUJIU" in the cosmic vacuum of various artillery fire? No matter how the plot twists and turns, the same old-fashioned symphonic soundtrack is used throughout, as well as the retro fonts of various subtitles. These tributes are done neatly and rigorously, which is my dish.
Secondly, let's talk about interesting settings, smuggling old liars, black gamblers, and human character robots are very interesting. My favorite is the love between the black gambler pilot Lando and the robot L3, who demands equality with humans. L3 demands equality with humans everywhere, and even fired the first shot of the robot uprising in the mine scene. It was a spoof at first, but when L3 was hit, the rendering of the entire film changed, and it was seriously telling you that this is really a tragic thing. There is also the big monster encountered in the black hole of the psychedelic nebula, which has the feeling of Cthulhu culture. When they finally reached the beach where the nuclear body was refined, the moment they encountered the so-called iron-blooded robbers who took off their helmets, a pure female face was completely different from the so-called pirate image that only killed in the mouth of the old liar Beckett, forming a strong contrast. .
The last is the plot. The plot is flat at the beginning, but a few action scenes are getting better. Not to mention the various conspiracy theories of Qi La played by Long Ma at the end, the previous stories are also very exciting. What adventure stories need most is novelty. Luo, a beautiful girl, joined the army to fight, became friends with alien races, smuggled high-risk with old liars, gambled with all of his belongings and even made up a spaceship, stole nuclear energy crystals, broke into the black hole of the universe and was almost swallowed by monsters , and formed a Liangzi with the big gangster organization, and formed an alliance with the rebel army. Drive the wildest boat, suffer the most painful beatings, and be rich.
