First time directors aren't supposed to be able to do this, it's often just a muddled mess of shots that is hard to follow and also boring. When you actually can follow the action logically it's such a better experience for the viewer in my opinion. Like, James Cameron was great at this right out of the gate. Not saying Patel is the next James Cameron but it's the best example I can think of

The beginning definitely gave me Tony Jaa vibes, and those films (like Chan's) always had very legible action scenes filmed at a distance with very few cuts because they trusted the fight choreography was good enough to stand up on its own merits.

drat those are some nice shots, and no cutting away after every impact either. Consider me hyped.

Interesting to see Patel in this sort of role, on both sides of the camera - the vibe feels more "The Raid" than "John Wick" but wouldn't have pegged him (or Peele) as action guys. The scene in the trailer where he fails to jump through the window was legitimately funny. Hope Sharlto Copley has more to do than just a bit part. Looks good overall, but surely there must be another song besides that Punjabi MC remix that would've fit here.

But nothing really comes close to the hype that song creates. I was like really Bend It Like Beckham? Again? But if it works...it works. All other cues we attempted just didn't hit that sweet spot.

The slapstick moments feel a little out of place with how the moments seem to linger just so we know to get the joke, but otherwise it looks sweet as hell.

It's one of those songs that's tells you exactly what to expect. I guess the recognizability is it's strength in a trailer? I'm hyped, very funny to compare to the Road House trailer that felt unsure of itself and the action. Dev looks extremely natural in those fights, and glad to see there's a bit of humor too to break it up.

Yo what the gently caress, when did Dev Patel become an action director? This looks wild lol. I'm totally in.

kiimo posted:I said the same thing. And so did Dev. Yeah no shade at all - the trailer is great and the song does fit well. Like others have said the recognition and hype it will generate will go a long way. Just weird to think that it has been a mainstay on the soundtrack of any media that is prominently influenced by Indian culture for like ~20 years. I tried to think of some alternatives but the only one that came to mind would be MIA, which is again another very overplayed Desi artist in this sort of situation.

Having some humor in there goes a long way.

(there's probably a few more of those in the mix, but those two rise to the top for me)

Wait it’s been done for years and Netflix sat on it? Even after RRR was a massive hit on the platform? what are they (not) thinking?

Not that I mind, this looks like it owns.
