because Star Wars is an overrated franchise and the movies never are really that good so i don't know why people are so surprised when the movies end up being not really that good. *shrug*.
---

Thats higher than I expected, and probably higher than it deserves.

Disney didn't bother writing checks for this one

blame my phones auto correct. it's real goofy

If critics don't like it, maybe it's actually good?

Guess this means critics hate Bi people, since Bi Lando should have made it a hit from what I've heard around here.

i'm willing to bet no one said that and you simply didn't listen to what they were saying because you let your bias block any other opinion.

A) do you know how RT works?
B) 71 is not low
---

But isn't this a good thing after the last Jedi debcal. The audience score will probably end up being higher this time around.
---

Most reviews say its a fun movie, but at the same time I think the scores also reflect how unnecesary and franchise milking the movie is.

Are you honestly telling me that you haven't heard people saying Lando was going to be the thing to save this movie for forever now?

Or are you just triggered because Lando is Bi now?

No. I saw people discussing it last night and saying how they thought it was a cool addition that won't make or break the movie and its not worth overreacting to, though. Again, i'm willing to bet you just didn't listen to what anyone was saying...

It should be lower based on the one scene I had spoiled for me

SPOILERS

Basically, Han gets the last name "Solo" because he tells an imperial recruiting agent that he doesn't have a last name and is "alone". *facepalm*

I'm going to guess you didn't listen either because there's a ton of people upset about it as well that you're just conveniently ignoring.

But then again, it's you so that's not surprising.

I still think that (SOLO SPOILERS) bringing Maul back to the films just for cameos is a really, really stupid idea

Nice pun.

A) do you know how RT works?

it averages a bunch of reviews

B) 71 is not low

A 71 is a C. Just average, which is unimpressive; lol, were you proud with all those Cs you got in high school? And considering how high Force Awakens, Rogue One and The Last Jedi were rated, a 71 is quite a drop. Definitely low for a franchise as big as Star Wars. Score may go up, but still.

neither of these are really that big of a deal
unnecessary, sure, but not terrible

No, that first one most definitely is terrible.

Second one is what to be expected from Disney's Star Wars though.

I'm still gonna see Solo though cause from what I heard it's an okay heist film that just has characters that shouldn't be there.

why? someones last name being Solo who happens to be a rogue-ish character who likes to be independent (sans Chewie) and whose character growth depends on learning to be apart of a group is pretty bad writing
making it so it's not actually his last name but instead a given name at least makes it not-as-bad

...I know there were people upset about it. I'm not ignoring them. We're not talking about those people. we're talking about the ones that you claim said THAT was the reason it was going to become a hit. what those people ACTUALLY said was what i said above...try to keep up, man. I understand people are upset about it but those people are kind of irrelevant to your claim...

No, that's literally just another group of people. The point of me bringing it up is that you seem to think that everyone just agreed with you and nothing else was conversed which isn't true at all. It's just your typical narrow view of everything where you ignore anything that doesn't agree with your chosen narrative.

BTW the people saying Bi Lando would save it isn't from CE. I'm talking on actual Star Wars boards. Shit happens outside of CE, you know. (wait, you wouldn't know, would you?)

you literally said "around here" at the end of your post...that would imply "here" being CE...come on, dude...

"around here" meaning gamefaqs, dude.

Once again, not everything is on CE...how about you try expanding your horizons a little, eh?

You're trying really hard. My apologies for misinterpreting what you meant by "around here". honest mistake.

LOL, so you must have been really proud of those Cs you got in school.

A 71% is not an impressive score. As far as major movies go, it's average and for a franchise like Star Wars, it's low. You can keep playing dense, though.

Again, you don't know how RT works

Clearly you don't. A movie that only gets a 71% there is not very well received. Only above a 90% is remarkable and considered to be critically acclaimed. The last three Star Wars all scored above a 90%. Solo just scored a 71%.

You could literally have 10 reviewers rating the movie between 1 and 10
7 10s and 3 5s gives you 7 positive reviews and 3 negative reviews, yet the average score is an 8.5

Now imagine how difficult it could be when you have reviewers who use a 100 point scale, a 10 point scale, a 5 point scale, a thumps up/down feature, or a weird 4 star review that uses half stars, etc.

Since when was critical acclaim the only good outcome for a movie? Dont you think there are some spaces between Poorly received and Critical Acclaim

Like Mixed Reception among others.
