20 Predictions For 2018's Rotten Tomatoes Scores

13. Solo: A Star Wars Story (63%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Though not quite the sturdy Han Solo origin story fans were hoping for, Solo: A Han Solo Story is nevertheless a breezily enjoyable sci-fi western."

Now, there are a lot of things working against this upcoming Star Wars spin-off - namely the well-noted production troubles - but it's also important to remember that critics are nowhere near as rabid or picky about Star Wars as fans are.

After all, the prequels scored 55%, 66% and 79% respectively, which considering how many fans consider them terrible, isn't bad at all.

Plus, though it seemed like Rogue One was set to received mixed reviews after being heavily re-shot, it still nailed a strong 85%, even if most fans merely deemed it "OK".

That's without even mentioning the major disparity between fans and critics for The Last Jedi, which sits at a cool 91%. Though Solo scoring effusive reviews would be a major shocker, it'll probably still be broadly praised as a decent enough popcorn flick (while fans will deem it an abject disaster).
