It’s happening all over again! User ratings are tanking for Solo: A Star Wars Story on Rotten Tomatoes, and the movie hasn’t even come out yet. What gives? Rogue One re-wrote Star Wars history, too, but that’s still getting lots of love on the movie review aggregator. Let’s get to the bottom of this… Punch it!
The video below has the main topical content of the episode, and the audio version above has additional material!

Clearly there are strange things afoot. I went to the UK press screening of Solo yesterday and the film I saw bears no relation to some of those comments on Rotten Tomatoes. Clearly these people have never seen the film (if they are even real people)

…… plus if these WERE genuine reviews there are certain things they would 100% have published, trust me on this one!

Thanks for chiming in, KT. And with the intriguing comment about the content of the movie, too! 🙂
It’s sad to hear how riled up some folks have gotten over the new movies. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone. I just hope that, if they’re not into the new movies, that they don’t let it color their opinions of the old ones.
Love what you want to love and don’t worry about the rest, should be the overriding philosophy. I mean, did anyone ever love every single thing LFL put out? All the books, all the comics, all the video games, over the last forty years? Of course not! It’s gonna be the same with the new movies and TV shows, too.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the movie. I’m seeing it in less than two hours from when I’m writing this, very excited for it!
