Free Guy (Shawn Levy, August 13,2021) Movie

definitely looks like stupid fun. shame that shawn levy is here

 

Having an NPC become the protagonist in a videogame movie is a pretty neat idea actually. I agree, it looks like stupid fun. I can't imagine a super compelling plot but I feel like I'll have a lot of fun watching it

Ryan Reynolds is perfect for this kind of role lol. Also, I didn't realize Taika was in this so that made me really happy to see him

 

I was at the panel for this at NY Comic-Con. Seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Reynolds seems to have really enjoyed making it.

 

Down for anything with Ryan Reynolds

 

I like the premise

 

Reynold's seems to be really digging into the "I'm the smart guy cleverly breaking the fourth wall and also poking fun at the studios that make my movies" and it's entertaining for now but that's going to wear thin pretty quickly and especially if this turns out to be shit (and given Levy's track record, not promising). I enjoyed the Deadpool movies and this looks fun, we'll see.

 

I like Reynolds as a celebrity, but his whole bit has worn thin with me. I think it was after seeing him play the same character he always does in “Hobbes & Shaw” that I felt like I was done with his schtick and this does not help.

 

New trailer. I like the angle here. Plus hey, more Jodie Comer.

 

Idk why but I thought this already came out

 

5/21

 

initial reactions are positive, i guess

 

and the actual review batch is looking pretty good (though i skimmed through it)

 

wow yeah a lot of these early reviews are pretty positive

I thought this thing had potential, glad to see it seems to be solid

 

Not my movie, Ill pass, though I like him in Deadpool.
