Classic characters are irreplaceable

It should be the Star Wars movie with the lowest viewing threshold. Aside from the background of Star Wars, it can be regarded as an interstellar adventure movie, with dazzling visual effects of space chase and a plot that is quite exciting to passers-by. , the overall completion is passable but lacks a burst point.

But as a spinoff movie of an important character in the Star Wars series, this work is relatively unsatisfactory. In the original Star Wars, Han Solo is both good and evil. On the one hand, he will be driven by profit: one second he is not willing to risk his life, and the next second he can rescue Princess Leia for a high bounty; There will be a sudden outbreak of heroism, and a sudden return to help the rebels. With Harrison Ford's interpretation, Han Solo should be one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars trilogy, "Dark Warrior" wins in the classic shape.

As a character origin movie, on the one hand, it must fit the original character image, and on the other hand, it must explain the brief history of the character's growth to be considered qualified! So this rumor is unqualified in both respects. First of all, in terms of character temperament, the new male protagonist is far from Ford. Not to mention that Ford is tall and handsome, even his smile has a three-point evil spirit, showing rebelliousness and cunning. The new male protagonist is stunned. There are reasons for the unfavorable casting and the lack of male lead skills. As an advantage of the origin story of the characters, there can be a transition from being unsophisticated at the beginning to being smooth in life later, but The lack of changes in the male protagonist's performance in the film also involves another problem. The script's account of the growth of the characters, the screenwriter knows the truth of eating a slash and a wisdom, and has done two "narrow alley crossings" and two card games. Echoing back and forth, why didn't Solo suffer a loss of trust just in the shaping of the character? Even passers-by in the middle of the game at the climax of the film may find it exciting, but they wonder why Solo became so cunning? Although it can be understood as a game for the heroine, why do you suspect that the heroine still has no foundation.

The best comparison here is the character played by Woody Harrelson. On the one hand, he tells Solo not to trust anyone, on the other hand, he fights side by side with the male protagonist, and even feels a little bit like father and son, so the final reversal is surprising (also The few bright spots in the whole film, the audience thought it would be the heroine, there is a bit of a counter-routine), and the ending can also make the audience feel the entanglement of the characters.

The decades before and after Star Wars from the main story to the prequel have made the story very complete. The once epoch-making visual effects have long been accustomed to today's audience. How to attract the audience once again has become a top priority for the restart of the movie! So I saw that Star Wars 7 sold feelings. Although the box office was a big hit, the production company still thought that the word of mouth was not good enough. When it came to Star Wars 8, the various anti-routines and anti-heroes made many Star Wars fans feel that they were chasing the bottom line and causing huge controversy. The first rumored Rogue One had the highlight moment of the final group annihilation, which was an epiphany! So this Solo from the characters to the story is lackluster, the global box office is cold, and the Star Wars series is indeed worthy of deep reflection by the producer! ! 5 points
