By far the biggest concern going into Solo was the quality of Alden Ehrenreich's performance as Han Solo, considering the stories that broke about producer Kathleen Kennedy's alleged dissatisfaction with his work, and an acting coach being hired for him mid-production.

As it turns out, it seems that the hand-wringing has mostly been for nothing, and the actor does riveting work as Han.

While there were a few comments about the audience needing to adjust to his performance, which apparently isn't a mere act of mimicry, the early consensus is that he gives a turn worthy of Harrison Ford's legendary tenure in the role.
