Free Guy (Shawn Levy, August 13,2021) Movie • Page 2

It's decent. The humor is very Ryan Reynolds "Well...that happened"/"This tastes like (random thing) (verbed) a (random thing)." But it kind of plays it like "Elf" meets "The Truman Show," which is a fun angle. And Reynolds and Comer are super charming. In better hands, this would be great. But it's still solid.

 

it’s so-so. with maybe another rewrite of the script and way better filmmaker than levy i think this could’ve been really fun. i enjoyed jodie comer and especially one specific cameo but i found myself getting impatient at certain points

 

it's hilarious that Disney made a movie where the bad guy is taking the art of brilliant talented indie creators and desecrating them by making them bland ip lol
Taika's dialogue was so bad but he was so much fun
as someone who doesn't game I had a hard time believing that Free City would be that big
Jodie ,Joe, and Ryan were all cute together; this used Ryan's inner blandness and smirkiness well
did Millie have a job lol, regardless I of course want to be best friends with someone who stans Mariah but also Arcade Fire and Tame Impala
Lil Rel is just in every movie being delightful huh
Guy and Buddy's apartments were way too nice

 

i enjoyed seeing the trailers to both of ridley's films more than everyone in the actual feature presentation (save, again, THAT cameo)

 

shocked this is getting good reviews

 

yeah, like this is better than expected but it’s not 81 on RT good

 

Perfect silly date night movie, coulda been truly great in the hands of a better director.

 

A very pleasant time at the movies. Obviously could’ve been better but for an $8 matinee screening it was a fun, if substance-free, movie.

 

Also trying to figure out the timeline of when this was filmed related to the Disney-Fox acquisition. Was all that stuff with Marvel and Star Wars added in reshoots?

 

I checked script was written pre buyout but it was filmed post buyout

 

that makes sense because the corporate synergy was strong with that scene lol

 

Freer Guy

 

I was already thinking Disney would be able to sequelize this pretty easily as I left the theater.

 

I really enjoyed this

 

Yeah I said when we were leaving that there’s 100% gonna be a sequel.

 

I had a lot of fun with this. A summer comedy spectacle just hit the spot today.

 

this might have been the worst movie I've ever seen. no more clearer indictment of this era than the scene with the MCU and star wars tie ins.

 

this was so incredibly dumb

 

This was so depressing. Everything is just a commercial for everything else nowadays.

 

i’m more surprised that you actually sat down to watch it

 

But he won’t watch I Think You Should Leave

 

wild!!

 

Last Friday of the month we show a movie to the students. If I watch a piece of garbage near the end of the month you now know why.

 

This is going on Disney+ 2/23. This seems like a good "yeah i guess i'll watching this on a streaming service if I'm bored" type movie.
