The Gray Man (Russo Brothers; July 22, 2022) Movie • Page 2

Jason had to change it to 3

 

Early reviews for this are not great.

 

48% on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

I’m expecting this movie to scratch my “I have a mancrush on Ryan Gosling and am glad to have him back” itch and little else. Kinda a bummer that his comeback after that run of incredible choices is a generic Netflix action movie but I’ll take it.

Starting to think the Russo brothers ain’t it though. I mean I enjoyed their Marvel movies, but after learning more about how those movies are made I’m not sure making a good Avengers movie says much about your ability to make a good, er, normal movie. And they adapted Cherry — a story that made me say “this will make a batshit and incredible movie” — into one of my least favorite movies in several years.

 

I was hoping for this too, but literally the first review I read says “not the return of Ryan Gosling we were hoping for”

 

The Russos have still never topped their episodes of Community

 

Somehow the Russos accomplished making a movie with Ryan Gosling, Ana De Armas, Chris Evans, Jessica Henwick & Billy Bob Thornton into the most skippable movie of the year but here we are.

*Criticized for making gray looking blockbuster movies - make a movie called the Gray Man. Geniuses!

 

This was……..whatever. The kind of film you watch once and have no desire to watch again, like the latest Jurassic Park. Like Netflix told the brothers “Here’s a fuck ton of money; get some stars and make an action film” and that was it

 

But man, my man crush on Sir Gosling only increased after seeing this; they show him absolutely jacked

 

And Bleachers makes an appearance…….

 

And the size of the crew involved in this is enormous; credits run 14 minutes

 

I have zero desire to watch this. And I'm about as big of a Ryan Gosling fan you'll ever find.

 

Haha same. Really struggling to build up desire to sit through it.

 

I'm still excited I just hope it's not boring lol.

 

I saw this in theaters yesterday. Thought it was a lot of fun: great performances, cool fighting, beautiful locations. I agree with whatever tweet-review it was that said it's not quite M:I or John Wick but in roughly the same camp. I'm glad I saw it in theaters too.

I'm pretty easy to please with movies, so take this with a grain of salt. But I had fun and I'd go see it again.

 

That's all I'm hoping for at this point, haha.

 

Man, I can’t believe some of the takes they allowed into this movie. Regé-Jean Page was awful. Pretty bland. Evans was the MVP.

 

Yeah RJP was not suited for this role, or at least how they wrote the character

 

RJP bond stock gonna be CRATERING

 

just started this and why is the first music cue EXACTLY the Mission Impossible rhythm

 

Why the fuck would there ever be a “try again” button?

 

This is fucking horrible.

How did these hacks make the most profitable movies of all time?

 

I can’t watch this. How did this get made?

 

a little over 20 minutes in and multiple people talked about punching someone in the dick. can this please not go on to summarize the rest of the film as a whole?
