I'm looking forward to seeing this. Adam Sandler is a better actor than I think most people give him credit for.

I agree with @Ex3 it's really, really good. Adam Sandler absolutely nailed his role perfectly and Kevin Garnett actually has some acting chops. I don't know if I'd rewatch it again (for reasons I can't get into without spoiling it). It's a hard watch at first just because it's so loud and chaotic in the beginning but you get used to it and are on the same wave length as Sandler riding the same highs very quickly as he's wheeling and dealing in the NYC jeweler scene.

This was a miss for me. I understand why studios didn't sign on to it's $150M price tag.

It didn't suck but it wasn't very good either. It just tried way too hard. The premise was good, it was the execution that was the issue. There were some good moments but mostly it was a blend of Ryan Reynolds character stand up bit, Deadpool style, and a Michael Bay wet dream of action sequences.

I see where you are coming from. For me it was a home run.


To sum it up, here's a review from rotten tomatoes:
Guns. Ferraris. Parkour. Headshots. Mélanie Laurent. Las Vegas. Luxury yachts. 'Merica

8-) :ROFLMAO: ;-)

Was really looking forward to '1917' but it was just meh. Too long and not particularly compelling. For as long as it was, you'd think character development was strong - nope. It just missed on a lot of levels for me. Don't rush out to see it, that's for sure.
 
^ Adding to previous comments. Was surprised to just read this movie came in at a hair under 2 hours. It felt twice as long. Aside from the continuous filming style, which was kind of interesting from a "I wonder how they did that" viewpoint, I don't understand why this movie is getting so much praise. Will be curious to see what the rest of you here have to say about it.
 
Joker fucking crushed it with the Oscar nominations this year. It blows my mind that the guy who directed The Hangover (Todd Philips) is how a Best Director nominee. Crazy. Ina good way. Also for us comic book fans- I think it’s official that comic book and superhero movies are officially taken seriously now.

I’m convinced part of the reason it did so well is because it is rated “R.” That gets to the truest essence of it. Anyone reading Punisher or Batman comics as a kid knew it wasn’t child’s play. That’s part of what I liked about Netflix takes on the comics. When Fisk smashed in dude’s head with a car door on Daredevil, I knew they had the real deal.

You need to get some Infantry in you. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie.

I was really looking forward to this movie and then trailer came out. Hopefully Pits' role will be treated fairly even if the rest of the movie looks formulaic as hell. Great casting though.

Has anyone here seen this yet?

I have not and, to be honest, I'm a bit apprehensive to do so because... Hollywood.

The lack of discussion around it only serves to reinforce that apprehension.
 
Yesterday I saw Bad Boys 3 then I went out of the cinema and waited for my mate then I marched back in and watched 1917.

BB3 is actually pretty good. It should have been the end of the series but it doesn't look like it. Good dumb fun and in the spirit of the others.

1917 was pretty fucking good. I don't want to spoil it.
 
Watched Gentleman today, if it was released in 2019 I'd rank it as one of my favorite movies of the year next to JoJo Rabbit and Knives Out.

One of the very few movies I'm going to see multiple times in theater alone.

Jojo Rabbit...better than Inglorious Basterds? Can't compare? Apples and oranges?

I want to see Knives Out and Joker but haven't yet.
