I was looking around for a movie to watch yesterday and I downloaded Free Guy, a new movie starring Ryan Reynolds.
I didn't know what it was about but it had a good movie rating, so I thought I'd give it a go. The first minute of it I was feeling this was a bad mistake. And 10 minutes in I couldn't take any more. Biggest load of rubbish I'd seen in a while. It's obviously a kids' film, as the dialogue is stoopid, and the action scenes are straight out of a video game. I don't play video games, or whatever they're called. I actually quit the movie about 30 minutes in and boy was that 30 minutes painful. Went back and read some reviews and most guys were saying it was the best movie EVER. I thought these reviewers must be 7 years old. Well at least they can write. I'd posted on a forum how awful I thought the movie was and some arrogant guy called me a troll because I dared to dislike something he likes. Last edited by Gusto Brunt; 27-09-2021 at 04:11 PM. |

I thought it was a pretty decent, feel-good film

Mmm, I don't think it's my cup of tea either.

I really liked it. If you take it for what it is. It's very tongue in cheek and cheesy but the more the film goes on its actually pretty good. It's very very silly so it will be a bit marmite with people it's not supposed to be a serious action film.

Oooh is this out for download now? Me any my wife were trying to find it a few weeks back and I spent ages looking for it before realising it wasn't actually out yet .
I would imagine this is the issue; the whole plot of the film is that the character is a video game NPC ... ... it's clearly aimed at people who play video games, as otherwise a lot of the jokes and references aren't going to make any sense . |

We all like different things. A Bond movie for example is more my cup of tea.

It's like ... I can tell they're "objectively" better made movies than the Pier Brosnan ones but those (and the earlier movies) were just so much more fun . |

I find them enjoyable if taken as a sort of camp comedy - which is probably why I can't get on board with the Daniel Craig ones. I feel like they're trying to take themselves very seriously when, at it's core, it's just an inherently silly concept.

Not sure why you'd watch a movie about a video game to then complain the effects were "like a video game" but there we are. Last edited by Marsh.; 30-09-2021 at 09:41 AM. |
