Fantastic. I'm a longtime Star Wars fan and, initially, didn't want to watch this film as Han Solo is my favourite character. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. It's an action/adventure movie so don't expect long and in-depth character building. The story is good and as usual with Star Wars films it is a visual cornucopia. Great to see the Millennium Falcon and the early Lando Calrissian was, for mine, better than Billy Dee Williams' version. Another review here says it's missing Star Wars staples such as Storm Troopers, Deathstars and lightsabers. Incorrect. There is a lightsaber, albeit briefly, but this is NOT a Jedi movie. There are Storm Troopers within the first five minutes. There isn't a Deathstar. All in all an excellent movie well worth a second, third and at least a fourth viewing.
