I didn't read anything about this or even watch any of the trailers before going to see it, however I quite enjoyed it actually. (I really didn't like TLOJ by the way)
***Han Solo movie***

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw it was a 12A rating. The original Star Wars on video was a 'U' (What with them being kids movies
) Both the points you mentioned raised a smirk.
I'm glad it wasn't totally on the nose though, I half expected Woody Harrelson whilst dying to say: "Always shoot first", which would have been bad

bit more detail (spoilers)
Alden, Lando, Beckett, Chewie, all good choices and actors
loved seeing the falcon get trashed
Train heist was a good action scene
Kessel run was also good (especially with the music playing)
liked all the double crossing at the end
Han shooting first was perfect
Hans dad used to work on the YT-1300 production line, detroit car industry collapse sort of thing was neat
Nest was a good looking character as well and unexpected twist
Han - Chewie and Han - lando stuff was all gold
L3 getting uploaded to the falcon fits well

Qi'ra was a bit dull, also bit convenient that she just shows up and taps him on the arm
Also thought it was too convenient that the Conveyx raid, Dryden meeting and Lando gambling lodge are all on the same snow planet???

never really been into Mauls survival, not really that excited seeing him again

She's just not that great in anything other than Game of Thrones. It's weird.
Well Dryden was coming to them to take the product off their hands after the raid. Lando wasn't on the same planet AFAIK. I could be wrong, but we (the audience) just didn't see them taking a transport ship to wherever he was

you wouldn't get the big boss turning up at the crime scene?
For lando if it is a different planet then confusing to go from snow planet to snow planet without showing a trip?

Does anyone else wonder how emilia clarke keeps landing big roles?
Caporegime
She's excellent in one of the biggest current TV series. It's not hard to figure out.

She's very attractive, and she's decent in GOT.
Terrible in Genysis and not great in this though. She also seems like one of those annoying people who are a bit too bubbly in real life though.
Maybe that's just me...
Caporegime
Honestly, her character is Solo is so vacuously written I think any actress would struggle in that role. She does a decent enough job with the gruel she's given to work with.
Soldato
Perhaps it's just me but I don't think she is that good in GOT, just carried by others and the programme as a whole. This is the third movie I've seen her in which she hasn't gave a very good performance IMO.

anyone else think their cinema projector was broken?
I thought it was a crappy cineworld screen, but just seen other people talking about it, including RLM
seems that they messed up the colour grading or lighting or something? was murky and hard to see at some points for me

I made the mistake of watching it in standard 3D, free with unlimited card, usually means a quieter screen not that this was an issue looking at this thread. Not a very well lit movie at all, made even darker with the polarised lenses. Again probably for the best not seeing what was going on.
Not in any rush to see it again, but it was still better than TLJ.

I did think the opening 20 minutes were dark/murky actually, even in 2D.

Being barely able to see what's happening isn't much of a style though
In fact I would say that was my biggest criticism but then at 4k/HDR on my OLED I might find it much clearer
I remember having a similar issue with a sequence in Black Panther at my local Odeon screen 1

this is just opinion and not fact.
She was about when Lucas was still running the show, so think she knows everything that was planned. Also am sure Lucas must still have some influence on things. I fully believe She and Lucas film do very much care how the films are made and also aren't just 'in it for the money.

I'll ask the colourist.
I didn’t have any problem with the colour or lighting whatsoever. Never felt it looked ‘murky’.
Soldato
yeah was at the "cheap and empty" cinema we have, rather than one of the two expensive and busy (but with better screens / projectors etc) ones, so maybe it was them rather than the film

Red Letter Media mentioned the cinematography.
