Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
A genuinely entertaining and fun film that stays true to the Star Wars franchise
I feel sorry for this movie in a way as it comes off of the last Jedi which many did not like and I did not find particurly good either. However this Han Solo film does a great job at what is most important and that is making it entertaining. This film never gets boring nor is it easily predictable like the force awakens was. It also has lots of references and a great cameo for the bigger Star Wars fans to pick up on a get hyped for.
This film is action heavy and although I thought it could of done with some more emotional scenes in it I still did not get bored with the action as each fight scene was unique which we kept it interesting.
The major flaws in this film that dectract from it is the safe nature of the film as it does not fly any Bombshells at you like the last Jedi. Also a few of the comedy scenes I found to be cringe and a horrible jar jar binks level character in the form of the token droid that seems to be a must in every Star Wars film.
Overall I was plesently surprised at the quality of this movie as I did not have high hopes. This film is good for fans of the OT and new fans coming in form the sequels and is definite worth the watch.
Walk Like a Panther (2018)
A niche low budget film with a confused plot
This film will not appeal to the interests of the general public unless British 80's wrestling is your passion.
This films plot is very strange. It starts off with lots off old people beating up a chav and then they go viral on YouTube. These old people are x-wrestlers from the 80s none of the characters are really believable except from the dad of the main character who is not an x-wrestler. They all feel like bad cartoon characters. The manger character and the villain wrestler are the worst for this although unlike the manager character who is just annoying the villain character is actually one of the few that made me laugh at his jokes/action in a way that wasn't because of how bad and cringe it was.
There is a redeeming feature to this film from the side characters the two trainee security guards are the funniest characters in the film even with the little screen time they got and made me bump my rating from a 3 to a 4 single handedly
In the end of the film the annoying chav from earlier becomes good for no reason and the boring main character gets scouted to live out his dream as a precessional wrestler, these are both very unrealistic and come out of nowhere
Overall there are definitely better films to see and you won't miss anything from this film by not seeing it although it is not 100% rubbish
