	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Its action sequences are machine-tooled spectacles of the first order. Its performances (...) are consistently entertaining."	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"[Howard] gets plenty of entertaining mileage out of Han Solo & Co.'s formative years, even though he never quite manages to launch the Millennium Falcon into hyperdrive."	NEU
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"[It] works because it’s more concerned with being 'a' Star Wars story than 'the' Star Wars story (...) I enjoyed 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' more than I expected to"	POS
United States	David Edelstein Vulture	"The movie is a good old-fashioned linear piece of storytelling (...) The performances are largely excellent (...) There’s a problem with the character that suffuses the whole movie and makes it less than the sum of its parts."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This inert prequel is anything but adventurous (...) [It] is more mild than wild, a pleasant way to pass the time instead of a game-changer (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A curiously low-stakes blockbuster, in effect a filmed Wikipedia page (...) There are some fine action sequences, and some that don’t make much sense at all."	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A solidly entertaining exploration into Han Solo’s intergalactic backstory (...) Ehrenreich does the character justice (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"Despite spirited performances, knockabout humor, and a few surprising or rousing bits, there's something a bit too programmed about the whole thing (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jim Vejvoda IGN	"[It] features some ably executed action scenes (...) A charming and fun exercise in repackaging nostalgia and pre-owned protagonists"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The new film plays like a galactic western. It interweaves the action, humour, romance and nostalgia in very deft fashion (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A crackingly enjoyable adventure which frankly deserves full episode status in the great franchise (...) I found it purely lovable (...) The movie is a fun-fuelled entertainment (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
