Put Jake Gyllenhall in any movie Tom Hardy was in and the movie instantly gets better.

Saw Fall Guy on IMAX today. I respect the concept of making a movie that’s a love letter to stunt people but a) I don’t understand why they had Gosling and Blunt do so many of their own stunts/fighting (or at least made it look that way which is the same thing) when the whole point was to shine a spotlight on the stunt crew, and b) to me stunts aren’t there to just look cool and fun, they’re supposed to emphasize the story and so many of the stunts felt pointless and over long. At times this just felt like a really nice recording of that Waterworld live show. All that said a lot of people at the showing were really into it but it’s an early viewing so I’m guessing a lot of industry-adjacent people were there because they were cheering at some of the stunt work and callouts in particular.

I enjoy movies about movies more than most so those aspects are fine to me but it def got bogged down a bit in the beginning with the relational stuff which is ironic because they would joke about the edit though more in a "can you believe they want to edit down perfection?!" kind of way that those kinda movies can get about themselves. Few things muddled the motivation to me too. If Gosling (not remembering names sorry. Nature of movies about movies for me, esp with the added stunt versions of characters) was in physical pain and even disabled for a bit could he not be given some slack for being unreachable? The mystery aspect did make it hard to know or care who the villains were though once revealedATJ being the bad guy was fun but probably needed more of that The Journey trailer was honestly so much funner energy for me Also 2 couples left during my screening lol probably that aforementioned buildup in the beginning bored them to death

Anyone else watch baby assassins 2? It's a lot like the first one. There isn't a ton of action, but the fights are really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLPTIuiZTeY

Will be seeing Fall Guy. It’s not performing so well at the box office but is #1. EDIT: Liked it, a good time was had, Emily Blunt is wonderful in it, peeps in my audience found it funny at times, had good stunts and nice fight choreography, would watch again.

One More Shot just got added to Netflix, watched 20 minutes and will finish later once I get my kids down. I'm enjoyed it so far, decent enough action and it seems that Atkins actually took a few firearms courses so it looks like he almost knows what he is doing now.

Boy Kills World looks like it's got some dope action but is incredibly obnoxious. I guess I'll bring some earplugs.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Boy Kills World looks like it's got some dope action but is incredibly obnoxious. I guess I'll bring some earplugs. well why not posted:I didn’t see a lot of posts about it; but Boy Kills World is a really fun time. Eh I saw it at Regal's mystery movie showing and its very very mid. The H Jon Benjamin voice over is absolutely unnecessary and the writing for the voice over specifically is not funny enough to warrant having H Jon do the talking. If they were going to bring an iconic voice actor in they should have given him better material or let him workshop it more. I can think of maybe 1 specific scene where the voice over was funny. The movie itself IS funny though, there are some fun gags. The fighting stuff is really meh, it does this kind of whip pan almost CGI camera thing during the fights that reminded me a lot of Argyle and it was obnoxious. Very shaky fights. Also much like John Wick 3 having Yayan Ruhian in the movie but not pairing him with anyone that can actually match his tempo is sad. There is also a story spoiler bit where its revealed 2 of the characters are related, and it would have worked so much better if they were just enemies to lovers instead of secret siblings because every shot looks like theyre about to kiss or fall in love via rear end kicking Including massive raging rear end in a top hat zionist Brett Gelman playing his normally gross and disgusting character type was also a bummer. Jessica Rothe's character was pretty cool.

Just watched The Fall Guy since there wasn't anything else playing that my friend wanted to see. It's an utterly pointless movie. Framed as a love letter to stunts it doesn't actually contain a whole lot of really interesting stuntwork. There's a bunch of fighting and a finale that has a kitchen sinky vibe to it, but there's very little in the way of creativity in there, imo. The people at 87North clearly have a passion for stunts but for some reason they never seem to design any stunts that are "holy poo poo" level, apart from an opening car roll that was genuinely insane. You'd expect these kinds of movies to embrace the physicality of it all, since I'm sure stunt design and safety has improved since 80s HK action cinema days, but it's definitely not showing in this "love letter to stunt performers".

It's a bleak time in theaters because I knew right off the bat that Fall Guy and Boy Kills World ain't poo poo. That doesn't leave a lot. It's sad because I actually liked Bullet Train. It's like if Joe Carnahan made a good movie. It's like if Smoking Aces was 300% less obnoxious. Don't deny that loving movie, Michael Shannon is a motherfucking anime villain.

I disagree completely. I just saw it last night as well and literally every scene features a classic stunt or fight choreography move. Its a love letter to all those classic hollywood stunts you've seen (literally the boat chase scene looks like a higher budget version of the Universal Studios stunt show!!) not a love letter to "extreme stunts". I get that it would be cool if there was something more extreme, and honestly I wish they had hyped up the car roll more, but as it stands I was shouting and pointing at the screen like Leo in every scene as I saw another classic stunt worked into the scene!

I don't think the demographic for this movie is the same as people who will watch raid to or any eighties Jackie Chan movies, unless it's randomly found on TV. Though the reason for showcasing classic stunts to an audience who won't recognize him as classic stunts? Not sure

I remember it being fine but you can tell how well it did since they didn’t make a sequel. I imagine if it had done well we’d be on our tenth A-Team movie with The Rock.

That was an interesting choice. Lol. During the scene in the diner, post prison bus escape, Jackson was trying to explain his conversion to non-violence and I could not loving understand 50 percent of what he was trying to say. I remember it as just marble-mouthed incomprehensibility on the level of Nolan's Bane.

Yeah I fell asleep not long after that. I could understand him fine but it didn't help much. Not a great performance, especially for a role I wouldn't call emotionally complex or anything. It's a good movie to fall asleep to though, I'll give it that second ringing endorsement. Could be worse, I fell asleep to Paranormal Activity 2 Tokyo Night and I had night terrors more creative and spooky than the movie. Not as good as Bullet Train tho imo. Michael Shannon really rockets that movie's quality.

Bullet Train jumps up several stars when you imagine Michael Shannon's complex reactions as he learned about and then portrayed his anime as gently caress character.
