I'm trying to make an accurate portrait of the movie , not fan driven, without all the media fuzz-hate disney- style-arty rewiers, and other one sided visions i have read lately.
Knowing all the movies (and i've seen all in the theaters, since the original SW), it's fair to say this particular movie is being mistreated.
First of all, it HAS a story, just not a particular epic one, but how many persons always has one? It' the story of a scoundrel, a thief and a betrayed person. So it does justice to the spirit o Han that the original saga built.
The casting , wich i had some doubts, proved to be solid, Alden Ehrenreich delivers a credible Han Solo, wich could have been easily ruined. Not only you believe (after the initial realization that Harrison Ford is no longer around) the character, but i felt confortable with this new face of the iconic character.
The mixture of genre (western, noir, adventure) it's not forced or pushed, and serve the story. To the fans, it's explains almost every item (what do you expect after 40 years and 8 movies??), but with respect y proper treatment of it's aspects.
So, while it's not a groundbreaking story with a new universe of posibilities, it's the story (in my opinion) that makes justices to a character , gives a background, and gives you something unique: entertainment AND fun.
How many movies lately, had give you joy?
And, foremost, when i left the theater, that feeling does not disappeared , and it did left me with something. It's not a fade away movie.
You don't have to see only Buñuel, Fellini or Lynch to feel good about cinema.
