[@HM-yk7fg]

If you haven’t seen Deadpool 2 yet, skip 28:05 - 28:23

[@grim8353]

H M wish I would have seen this comment before watching the video. Fuck

[@HM-yk7fg]

Grim sorry about that, bud. I wish I had known the first time I saw it too.

[@suizideking7987]

H M Thanks, I luckily saw this. Good on you!

[@MassiveScore]

Nick: We never got that Andy: Yeah we did Nick: Yeah we did Classic Nick

[@gamepassguru1821]

SPOILERS * * * * * * * Fun fact: The Maul and Obi-Wan encounter Nick wishes for is already in Star Wars: Rebels (in one of the best episodes of the series)

[@KarnmasterGaming]

One of the best episodes Rebels had! Which reminds me, I need to go finish the last few episodes of Rebels. BRB....

[@CoNiCuZn]

Yeah but Rebels has terrible writing and dialogue that nick probably doesn't want to sit through....

[@Freeonyx]

That scene hit me so hard. I love it.

[@henreebee6561]

44:05 for the new show reveal!

[@BurnoutsAndBourbon]

Henry Barbee 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 The hero we deserve!

[@tdl1996]

God bless you

[@smashingsuccess4827]

Henry Barbee haven’t seen Solo yet but wanted to see the new review show, thanks man!

[@muppetjoe870]

I has a really fun time watching this movie. I feel like some people made up their minds about the film before the movie even started.

[@shanesedlemyer4060]

Andy at one point says “I know this feels like a weird fan boy thing to say,” and that is what this whole review feels like. I don’t even think it is worth to review Star Wars any more because no one can remove themselves from the original trilogy. Brian Altano said it best, when you stop comparing everything to the original trilogy, you can enjoy that you are getting these awesome Star Wars stories, which is the whole point of these spin-off movies! I enjoyed this movie a lot, not expecting to. I respect the right of others to have differing opinions. But if you look at the fan ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, the “fanboys” don’t even want to give it a shot, I feel that happens here. * I saw it at one of the fan events last night and my theatre reacted strongly and applauded at the beginning, “that reveal,” and the end. So, maybe my experience was different.

[@8bitdee]

That's a not a good argument. If they want to make good movies that are detached from the Star Wars trilogy, then make an original movie without using the Star Wars brand. They're making Star Wars movies for a reason. These side stories are still suppose to connect to the series that they're using as a selling point. They're suppose to feel as part of the universe. That means they have to make sense and be good. (granted Eps.1-3 are dogshit but now with Disney at the helm, better IS expected of them.) You can't remove yourself from the originals because the originals set the standard as to what a Star Wars movie should be. If you can't live up to that, then you didn't make "awesome Star War stories."

[@nicholasbolgioni8580]

LMFAO oh nick.. ‘Red Dawn, Red Sun, Squirrel.. Squirrel son? Whatever the fuckin bad gangster - crimson... tide!”

[@UofLfan5]

Went in with little expectations, and was blown away. Honestly it’s my favorite Star Wars movie to come out since Disney bought it

[@CoupleaNerdz]

Nick's roller coaster comparisons are spot on! Just nonchalantly throwing out amazing lines.

[@GianlucaSorrentinoVideos]

I love how you can basically watch all these and upcoming spin-off films and then watch A New Hope as The Avengers of the Star Wars universe

[@hugopinai2005]

So excited for this! Can't wait to find out what the next in review will be!

[@kevinmcmanus9723]

There is a DeadPool 2 spoiler in this review. Careful everyone who hasn't seen it. .....like me

[@TheHOOfan1]

Did someone say, "this isn't a spoiler, but" just before they spoiled Deadpool?

[@grim8353]

TheHOOfan1 no he just spoiled it with no warning

[@DerekToningoogle]

This is the best non spoiler discussion you guys have had in a review. Thanks!

[@missedthebuspodcast5034]

I’m just glad we got an abundance of dice shots in this movie. Idk what we would’ve done without them.

[@kishanbhakta]

Wait, why was the MCU in Review intro played?

[@ThePhred66]

10 years from now, you may just re-watch this and greatly adjust your opinions, much like you did on several MCU movies

[@Natalie-ek2sz]

The robots wall e looking scene killed me

[@TeddyChinaris]

29:00 Just so you guys know, they did this in Rebels already.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

Saw it Thursday, really liked it.

[@dustinpeerce3157]

*SPOILER* IGN spoiled the Darth Maul cameo with the headline: "We explain THAT character's cameo in Solo: A Star Wars Story! PHANTOM MENACE & REBELS CONNECTION" Gee, I wonder who that could be. So subtle...

[@patriots234]

Can’t wait to hear Tim rip this movie to shreds since he wasn’t here today lol

[@xTopfloorx]

Yeah I'm going to channel alot of other comments on this one. I went in with some serious pessimism, but left the theatre having fun. Thats all I could ask for. Is it shallow, hell yes! But I enjoyed myself. Can't say the same for TLJ sadly, I came out of that movie confused.

[@cheezNood]

Walked out like “meh, ok”..after a few hours, it’s growing on me.

[@mikecunningham4682]

Loved it. Felt like a spinoff in the best sense of it. A great little side story about characters I know and characters I don't. Like an old star wars book

[@CriPPleR_HD]

Love Nicks honesty.

[@alexramirez5104]

Went in with low expectations...came out feeling it was alright

[@LookingTheBest]

Okay so I'm 3 days late. And I see Nick on the Screen for a Star Wars Review and I just Smile.

[@johnseminario1863]

The best thing about Solo: A Star Wars Story is that I didn’t have to sit through the trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story before the movie.

[@marveltominatgoogle]

That ending was fantastic

[@fayezkhan49]

Did anyone else notice that the intro is literally labelled Kinda Funny: Every MCU Movie Reviewed?

[@ChrisNerd77]

I don't think these guys even saw the same Solo that my theatre is playing.

[@satchelesmith3185]

Boba Fett does not die, he climbs out.

[@JoniHD99]

Loved this movie. The start is kinda sluggish but it picks up really fast

[@NostalgiaKing]

Before Solo came out, I was completely convinced that Disney was going to announce a Star Wars rom-com. Now... not so much.

[@fireblader1993]

When I left the cinema I felt i’d just watched a Marvel film like Antman or Dr. Strange. Just adding to the lore and world of Star Wars, which you can take for better or worse. That special Star Wars feeling I had for 7, 8 & R1 wasn’t there at all but I did enjoy the movie.

[@ThePhred66]

Nick's Reaction... Self fulfilling prophecy

[@matthewrobinson8569]

This is how I remember my X-men list being. Excited to revisit these films. 1. Logan 2. First Class 3. Days of Future Past 4. Deadpool 5. X2 6. Deadpool 2 (if they count it) 7. X-men 8. The Wolverine 9. Apocalypse 10. The Last Stand 11. X-men origins: Wolverine

[@MikeSW]

It doesn't matter if we know that the character dies, it matters if we know who they are at the end of it. Boba Fett and Lando are great fits for spinoffs because, while we have a rough idea of their personas, we aren't actually all to familiar with them - theres a lot more of an opportunity to build a character there. Han Solo is the most developed character in the OT and a darling of pop culture (probably one of the most influential character archetypes of all time). You can make a prequel movie with Han Solo, but not safely because so much of the character would have to be changed for the story to be worth telling and when you do that you are inevitably going to get everyone on the planet complaining that "that wasn't the han solo i know." so why even try?

[@chandler7493]

I don't understand how they're so critical of the characters in Solo, which were kind of up and down, but love Rogue One so much despite having literal negative characters.

[@alexfriesen5732]

I loved the movie way more than I thought it was going to be

[@mjenningssmith]

Does the X-Men series include the Deadpool and Wolverine movies?

[@DJKento]

"Where the fuck these dice come from" From street racing culture which George Lucas was a part of here in Northern California. Pilots in WWII would hang trinkets in their cockpits, a lot of guys would hang things they considered lucky. Poker chips, dice, coins, rabbits feet... This culture carried over into drag racing in California in the 1950s which is where the fuzzy dice come into place. George Lucas grew up in drag racing culture. Hence American Graffiti and his love and obsession with classic cars. All of George's characters are George Lucas at different points in his life. THX-1138 is about a man leaving a regimented controlled life and finding himself in the desert. American Graffiti is about George and all his friends figuring out what was next after high school. He's several characters... but George is mostly Han and Luke. Han was George during his drag racing days in Marin and Petaluma. Chewbacca is his dog Indiana who did attend races with him and would sit shotgun in his cars. George Lucas placed the dice there himself. That's his touch. Luke is George when he left home to go to film school. TLDR; George Lucas put the dice there himself as an homage to his past as a street racer.

[@Brendan_G]

Wait, so the droid in Rogue One was called K2 and the droid in this one was called L3? Is the Boba Fett movie gonna have a droid called M4?

[@saltycsc1358]

Strong finish guys! LOL One point to be made, if you do take the time to watch that Darth Maul scene again, I believe he specifically shows the lightsaber because it is NOT his original one... but in fact, the one he used when he reappeared in the Clone Wars series. This movie definitely had its issues, but I went in with low enough expectations to actually enjoy it. P.S. all of my DVDs/Blu Rays are in storage. Is there anywhere to go back and watch all the X-Men movies? :(

[@andyz1o]

Wait are we doing things like the origin movies and all side x men movies LOL

[@KyleBorchert]

Solo is actually incredible. To each their own, I suppose. So many twists and lots of pay-off. It's so cool building and expanding on the universe we all love and enjoy - the anthology movies just might be better than the pillar episodes. Go see this film!

[@icymoe1024]

Did HAN ever say "never tell me the odds!"?

[@AwesomeNick94]

I guess watching this as a casual Star Wars fan was really beneficial for my enjoyment of it. The only two things about Solo that ever bothered me were the jokes that fell flat and the use of that upbeat empire theme in the recruitment promo, otherwise really enjoyed it all the way through. (Unlike Last Jedi)

[@JackWalkley]

I feel we watched a totally different movie. I loved it.

[@kevinkomaki7392]

The avengers music that plays when I click the video gets me hyped

[@easymodemitch9517]

You guys should do the summaries for new films too. That's the best part of the show

[@tibor420]

The first 10 mins of Solo were rough as fuck but I really liked it all by the end. The kid pulled it off. These guys totally went in ready to hate it... and surprise!

[@isultansultangaliev5852]

Oh god dammit Andy, I didn't want to know Juggernaut was in the movie. Like Deadpool barely started in my country.

[@Pizzakong633]

Yeah that sucked for me too. Should've cut that out guys not fair

[@MasterCapp]

Seriously I didn’t mind Solo spoilers but the Deadpool spoiler came out of nowhere :(

[@emmaparker9500]

Yep, I'm in the same boat. I was planning on seeing it tomorrow, it came out just this past week *facepalm*

[@Clarkey7163]

Fwiw it doesn’t impact the story of DP2 much at all

[@TheHOOfan1]

They constantly spoil games and TV shows and movies

[@RayDogMark1]

Great ending! 😂

[@timothyhurley5920]

Nick! In the old EU Dengar saves Boba Fett from the Sarlac Pitt so we don't necessarily know where he ends up.

[@OJFX]

I can't wait for an in review of the Bond movies

[@PeachiPeachMomo]

I'll be honest, never watched an X-Men movie. This review series will probably convince me to start watching them.

[@samhughes711]

I already have a list for X-Men: 1. Logan 2. Days of Future Past 3. X2 United 4. First Class 5. X-Men 6. Apocalypse 7. Wolverine 8. Last Stand 9. X-Men Origins Wolverine idk if they'll include the Deadpool movies but they're 100% high up there.

[@dantesilvermine5160]

Nice random Deadpool spoiler...good job

[@HM-yk7fg]

Chris C right?

[@mr.t1389]

It came out 7 days ago!!!!!!

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

STOP. CONSUMING.ONLINE.CONTENT.BEFORE. SEEING.THE.FILM.

[@HM-yk7fg]

You gentlemen realize that not everyone has had the chance to see it for various reasons? Also, about consuming online content, kind of a ridiculous statement. It’s understandable to say that if it’s content that discusses the movie itself but I’m sure people who haven’t seen Deadpool went into this not expecting to have anything from Deadpool discussed in this. But what’s done is done.

[@mr.t1389]

HM Christ dude... Deadpool is MAYBE a two hour movie, if they want to prioritize hour long kinda funny content over Deadpool 2 a week later its their own problem. Theres 168 hours in a week, and they likely work 40. NO sympathy there. Plus why're they moving on to watch a Solo spoiler cast if they can't catch up on last weeks big flick??? but u right "whats done is done" lmfao

[@wandofwillow]

44:05 The next Movie Series in Review

[@mrblackburn7028]

I really enjoyed Solo. Good cast, very good summer blockbuster, solid 8/10. The cameo near the end was fantastic.

[@drachmalius6126]

Perfect background for playing the Dark Souls remaster, and now I don't need to see the movie. Thanks guys

[@theprince09]

It was a solid okay. Yeah Last Jedi has two maybe three amazing scenes, but I found Solo overall more enjoyable.

[@awill891]

I'm 29 and I never have gone to the movies often, maybe 2 times a year. But I saw Deadpool 2 and Avengers this week and loved the experience in a high quality theater with recliners and beer. Now I think I'm addicted, I was excited to see this and probably still will next week but it sucks that they were not into it. I haven't even watched the last 2 Star Wars yet but fuck it Ima go check it out! #theaterlife

[@kentonwatkins7050]

If Rebels stays canon, that would seem to kill the coolest possible payoff from this movie being on the big screen.

[@TomTudusHughes]

Absolutely loved this movie! So needed after last jedi!

[@Nivlacattack]

I loved Solo! It was actually one of my favorite movies in a long, long time! Top 3 Star Wars movie for me

[@conormcinerney1208]

Calvin Coffee whats your opinions on the last jedi?

[@gabewind6]

While I did enjoy the movie more than I thought I would I do agree with what they said about wanting these movies to tell new stories with new characters we've never seen before. Hopefully, we get that with Rian Johnson's and D&B trilogies.

[@HadoukenX]

Such a great call for the next line up of "in review". If it wasn't for the 1st X-Men, where would we be now with comic book movies?

[@jeffgordon5658]

Solo is such a fun movie that's full of heart. I definitely like these side stories. I disagree with Greg, Nick, and Sweet Candy Andy, BUT I still love them. :)

[@Xajam7]

No end credit for this one ?

[@acdatpb]

This is in the mcu?

[@dantesilvermine5160]

ACPlayer619909 yes, just in a different galaxy far far away, and a long time before the events of Ironman 1

[@PhaseRebirth]

360P master race oh yeah

[@tuffyj10]

This was on the same level as Justice League. It was.... Fine. Just......fine *shrug*.

[@DextrousJOE]

Can we just get a Cade Bane, Maul and Obi standalone movies???

[@JackWalkley]

My whole theater went nuts at the character they talked to on Skype (no comment spoiler). Bummer you guys didnt get that.

[@huntermccann2509]

Gotta disagree with you guys, I fucking loved this movie. Don't know why, but it was just so much fun. Very surprised

[@mrblackburn7028]

Couldn’t agree more

[@kindafunny]

i went it expecting to like it more than I did. it was fine IMO. -Andy

[@cubsgo23]

I enjoyed it. It was a fun film with great moments. Everyone knit picks the shit out of everything anymore.

[@ihp7]

Same dude honestly! I've heard all these negative things but I actually really liked it

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

I enjoyed it too. Star Wars is in the unfortunate position of having nearly every fan walk into the the theatre with their arms folded and say “impress me” best fan consensus of each film isn’t known until a few years after each film comes out.

[@AndrewSego]

I thought the cast was great, Glover and Ehrenreich nailed the mannerisms and speech patterns. I sure wouldn’t mind a sequel or two featuring these two actors!

[@MarioNotBros]

YEAH BOII *Nick voice* SHNAKEY SHNAKEY

[@rebekahjohnson5940]

To be honest I liked this movie. I only started catching up on Star Wars in 2015 because my boyfriend was surprised to hear I had never watched the movies before. I feel like because I don’t have the time experience that a lot of other fans have, I have less expectations and am surprised by whatever I see. I was nervous for this movie after hearing about some of the troubles with writing and directing. I was mostly Afraid because they brought an acting instructor in for the Solo actor. But I went to see it in theaters and was pleasantly surprised by it. I definitely know there’s some flaws ( there was a hard cut that I found unappealing, and some of the story was rough) but I really enjoyed it and feel its better than people give it credit for.

[@BoltCRNA]

I'm going to have to go back and watch the Xmen movies now. Sweet!

[@Bhayward10]

Can’t wait for STAR WARS -IN REVIEW!

[@levilittle5514]

I really liked this movie, there was some things I had questions about, but overall, I enjoyed this movie way more than Rouge one

[@ChloeCinema]

I watched all the X-movies a couple of years ago. This is going to be interesting.

[@bradcoffey2927]

I loved it. Pretty much exactly what I want from Star Wars Stories.

[@dv2244]

Didn't know this was an mcu movie

[@samhughes711]

I really enjoyed this movie including the comedy but some things I didn't understand like who that Aloy looking girl in the mask was.

[@8bitdee]

I'm happy with the choice for the next series. Unlike the MCU movies, there are X-men movies I've only seen once and some I completely skipped, so I'm looking forward to watching along with you guys. ANYWAYS, here's my take on why the cornerstone of the "Solo" movie, Han Solo himself, failed. It seemed to me like the studio was trying to go for a story about Han Solo before he became THE Han Solo. The one we know and love from the original trilogy. That explains why he wasn't so smart and funny, and whatnot. This was his origin story, this was him becoming Han Solo. So when the actor isn't able to deliver lines like the Han we know or why he just wasn't good enough to pull it off like Ford did, was probably in part because the direction he was given was "Okay, so you're playing a Harrison Ford character, so act like him BUT don't act TOO much like him because in this movie he hasn't become the Han we all love." So I think he had a hard time with that. That's problem one. The second problem with that premise is why the fuck would anyone want to watch a HAN SOLO movie where Han Solo isn't yet the Han Solo everyone loves? I think this is the biggest misstep Disney did. "Hey let's develop him! By first making him not fun or interesting!" You can develop him without turning him into a complete alien. Good writers can develop a character that already exists, by working with his attributes he already has. You don't have to strip him of the things that make him Han Solo. I don't understand why Disney thought this pitch was a good one: "Let's make a Han Solo movie, but get this... ready for it? He's not Han Solo yet, he's still just a dumb 20 year old. Everyone will love that!"

[@villaingaming2022]

I think that going forward with Star Wars there is always going to be complaints about the movies. As fans we all thought about what new movies would be like for years and now that we are finally getting them it’s like they aren’t living up to what we thought. I think the best thing to do for them is to put aside what we wanted/ assumed we would get and just enjoy it.

[@AlexJames840]

Loved this movie, thought it was really great.

[@jasonc2341]

Nick's critique of this movie is spot on. he deserves to be a member of the academy. Or maybe the Oscar can be named The Daddy and be a little golden Nick. Touch the belly button and a sensual Prince groan plays.

[@Natalie-ek2sz]

I liked it more than rogue one and last jedi. Granted i didnt love those movies but i had a good time

[@rashrit]

Haven't watched Solo yet. Just came to see what the next In Review series was going to be and damn.... I have to say I'm disappointed. But then again there aren't many long running series like these. Another question will the Deadpool movies be in this review series?

[@Woozie87]

yes

[@adamr94]

Why did they use the MCU in review intro?

[@PhillMcgroins]

Way to give out a Deadpool spoiler for a movie that just came out last week.

[@zacharyhardy6332]

I really dug Solo. Seeing characters I love in a galaxy I love having an adventure is all I need. It's once a year for two hours and I like it. But I think most marvel movies are just ok so I know my tastes are different than the KF guys which is no biggie, love the show!

[@Pistol101]

I thought this movie was awesome. Didn’t like The Last Jedi. These anthology movies are turning out to be much more hype

[@ColdHeartsHotNights]

Just got back from seeing Solo I went in with low expectations based on not liking TLJ but I really enjoyed Solo as a fan of the "Star Wars Universe" as a whole I've watched every film & animated series & this fit right in to the uni & grew the story more. I enjoyed all the preformances & had no issue with & have had no issue with the casting of Alden Ehrenreich as Han I think he did a fine job. Yes some of the writing/dialogue in parts were bad but I would recommend people see it in theater. I would go see it again. Is it the greatest Star Wars movie I've seen? No but I put it in a category of being good along with TFA & Rogue One. It's no TLJ thank god.

[@MatthewNovak]

I loved Solo. It was easily the best of the Disney Star Wars movies!

[@joshuabishop8182]

Mcu in review intro???
