I loved watching this version of Emma! The costumes and sets were absolutely breathtaking. The casting was perfection. Anya Taylor Joy as Emma was fantastic- her little glances, movements, head tilts, she was way better than Gwyneth Paltrow. The romantic tension between Emma and Knightly was electric, I could feel Jane Austen coming to life. This was a much needed escape from reality to enjoy two hours about matchmaking in a time when people didn't have much else to occupy their time. It was lovely cinema. Highly recommend.

I was shocked that the legendary Ron Howard made this movie! It's definitely one of his lesser works because the story of Han Solo could have been so much more interesting and well made and this one felt kitchy and like a cheap knock off of the storied Star Wars franchise.

The one scene that is somewhat intriguing was the battle scene after we are re-introduced to Han Solo following his military training.

I enjoyed learning how Han Solo and Chewbacha were connected. How Han Solo got his name was a cheesy rip off on Don Corleone's name origin story.

The 80s cocktail dresses and pumps in the bar scene in Beckett's ship was terrible costuming.

Not an entirely terrible waste of entertainment budget, but definitely residing in the cellar of bad Star Wars franchises.
