Formulaic but entertaining.

Well-paced. (See what I did there?) Well-acted.

Such a visually stunning movie. Conceptually quite different and I was left thinking about what it all meant.

Entertaining and yet, I was still disappointed. The problem with this background story is that there isn't much to surprise us. We already know most of what's going to happen. Meets Chewie? Check. Meets Lando? Check. Gets the Falcon? Check. Does the Kessel Run? Check. They still managed a couple surprises. And Donald Glover as Lando? Perfect.
