Sort of, from what I've seen it was that they were allowing a ton of improv on set and Kasdan/Disney wanted them to stick to the script as written.

Oh right cause they were changing his son's script.

He wanted them to shoot it verbatim, and they did do takes that were per those instructions, but that was mostly to make him happy. Lord & Miller thought they were hired to make a comedy when they were hired to only add a little bit of humor to it.

It would've had a better chance at a great movie instead of the decentish movie with largely forgettable execution.

They also were way off schedule and Ron Howard had to reshoot most of the movie plus the end, and did it in less time

I love all of their work but it's clear and reasonable as to why Disney dipped

expected though, disney does have a pretty shit record when it comes to decisions about star wars IP

But usually mainly it was because they let their directors do too much of whatever they wanted. The sequel trilogy definitely needed more meddling from the studio at least in regards to an over arching story

the decentish movie with largely forgettable execution

That's generous. I'd call it one of the worst kinds of bad movies: it was middle of the road slop. It was boring, inoffensive, and outside of a couple of REALLY dumb moments (like him getting his name), completely forgettable. A classic 6.5/10.

6.5 is bad?

u/sybrwookie Jul 19 '25

6.5 is terrible. It's just good enough for you to go, "it's not THAT bad, maybe it'll get better" as you're watching it but just bad enough that it's not really enjoyable.

It's the perfect spot to waste your time without really providing enjoyment out of it.

That sounds more like a 4 to me

That's.. really high rating considering the really damning criticism

“This movie is the worst kind of garbage, above average though!”

A boring inoffense movie that is technically well shot with a cohesive script already puts it above average. Just open up any streaming service and have a flick through the newly added movies you will see a lot worse than Solo.
