Honestly, it's a really good film. It's got great action, great dialogue (oh how I wish Lord & Miller were still on board) and just because you can kind of guess the outcome, what with it being Solo's origins, that doesn't mean the film can't surprise you on the way.
I only have a few negatives, actually. L3 was a little much, it doesn't help that you end up inevitably comparing her to the outstanding K2SO from Rogue One and of course, K2 is better. Paul Bettany tries, god bless him, I know his character is more efficient/ruthless than evil but he's just too nice to really pull it off. It's not a mark against him, but I guess rather the casting? Finally, I guess the score could have been better, but I did like the little moments of classic score when significant events happen (i.e. seeing the Falcon the first time).
All in all, yeah it's mostly predictable (I really want to go see this with someone who hasn't seen Clone Wars/Rebels to see their reaction to that moment), but it's a damn fun ride.
(It's 9 on here, but I guess it's more an 8.5 realistically, it'd round down to 4 if it was out of 5 stars, basically).
