Very high in concept, very high in anticipation, and mostly disappointing in execution. The really dumb thing is that even knowing how mediocre it is, if I see it's on tv I get kinda excited and start watching.
I still get a kick out of it. Mainly because of Joan.
For me it's John Candy. It seems like he gets funnier in all his movies the longer he's been gone.
You have to say that because you're Canadian. Isn't that the RCMP motto?

Watched Rogue One this afternoon. Saw it once in the theatre and once when it got home release, so this was number three for me, and I liked it much more this time than the previous viewings. I still have deep reservations about it as a Star Wars film (but not as a scifi film), but I think Last Jedi helped me appreciate it a lot more. It's working similar terrain and themes—the moral ambiguity of the rebellion and role of sacrifice for the greater good and the group—and it's also grittier than previous SW flicks, but what impressed me this tim around is how well it flowed. It's a fairly long film (only slightly shorter than TLJ), yet it doesn't run flabby and the sequences sensibly flow into each other. It plays as a tight and purposeful story from start to finish, maybe the tightest SW film since the first one.

Is Solo any good? After the prequel-esque TLJ I am gunshy.
It’s fine. A solid B. Totally unnecessary, but competently made.
Then again, I loved TLJ.
Should I just wait for home release?
Depends on whether you think Star Wats works best on a big screen. I had a good time, but I came in with managed expectations (and am an unapologetic fan of most non-prequel Star Wars)

Solo was fun. It's weird to me that people don't like this movie. It's 100% sci-fi pulp escapades with Donald Glover being Lando. I fail to see what the downside was.
