The Running Man (Edgar Wright, November 14, 2025) Movie • Page 5

I liked him I guess

 

Product placement out the wazoo though, was that in the original

 

No but see it's dystopia so it's okay.

 

Yeah, I’m fine with product placement in something like this because it fits dystopia and this movie was not cheap to make.

 

I really like the idea of the proto-YouTube-type anarchist, but feel like he shohld have been better deployed throughout the movie. The ending where he breaks everything down just kind of deflates the movie and it feels like that grand finale is kind of a stupid-noted whimper after that.

 

ehhhhhhhh didn’t work for me I’m sorry

 

Also, characters too jacked! Teeth too clean! You live in slums! Look like it!

 

I will never forgive you.

 

I do agree with this. And I like Glen and think he’s good in this, but it could have used a star with a bit more grit to them. Glen’s just too pretty.

 

One thing about Glen is he loves wearing disguises in movies.

 

I grew up loving 80/90s dumb/fun action movies and this felt like that in a complimentary way, flaws and all.

while you’re not wrong this is such a little nitpick, are they gonna cast a bunch of hill people?

 

I kinda agree with Josh, actors should look like real people again

 

Brolin’s teeth were the most distracting but it makes sense that he’d have shiny new fake teeth.

 

Running Man starring DJ Qualls

 

We get it you live in New York

Anyway I appreciated that they were like this is your dystopia only better because Colman Domingo

Besides all the sex work stuff we're gonna shoot this baby stuff i enjoyed it but you can tell the story wasn't new

 

This was a perfectly fine action movie, but an incredibly disappointing Edgar Wright movie.

 

it’s also a really good david leitch film, arguably

 

This was really dumb but fine enough, I guess.

 

Haven't seen this yet, but reminds me of Demolition Man where they turned a product placement for Taco Bell into a running joke about them monopolizing the restaurant industry in the future.

 

this was fun, coulda ended 10 minutes earlier. Michael Cera bit was easily the highlight, so good

 

The ending felt very abrupt and unfinished but other than that I had a pretty good time with this. The motel and Cera scenes were easily the highlights for me.

 

This was fine. A bit disappointing when you know what Edgar Wright is capable of, but you could do worse for mindless entertainment.

 

I thought this was a pretty good time!
