Coen brothers are over rated. they are good writers and have made great movies but they have as many turds as they do good movies. Just like spielberg.

BiggerBoat posted:Get a load of this wrongness. If anything, they're underrated. At least based on something like commercial success. I find even their weakest films have a lot to offer. you can only say they are under rated based on profit margins their movies make. they arent trying to make huge block buster movies they are making quirky comedies and character driven dramas which dont tend to be huge box office draws. They always get funding and always get to make a new movie even if their last one was a bomb. they also get lots of awards / nominations. seriously go through their filmography again about 50% are poo poo while the other 50% are great. Its not just one big long run of hits either its very spotty

Blood simple: ok crimewave: bad ( i understand if you want to argue this since raimi helped write and directed.) raising arizona: great millers crossing: ok barton fink: meh hudsucker proxy: meh fargo: good lebowski: good o brother: good ( i personally dont like it but i understand while others go) the man who wasnt there: bad intolerable cruelty: bad ( again there was a third writer but joel directed) ladykillers: bad ( i actually like this one but i like bad movies) no country for old men: good burn after reading: bad a serious man: meh true grit: ok gambit:bad ( they didnt direct) inside lewis: meh unbroken: bad ( they didnt direct and had writing help) bridge of spies: bad ( they didnt direct and had help writing) hail ceaser: bad surbicon: bad ( they didnt direct) buster scruggs: havent seen now that im writing this out i think the problem isnt the coen brothers but the people they let work with them. so i retract my over rated statement and now demand they put a clause into their contract where noone else is allowed to help write or direct their movies. snergle has a new favorite as of 21:22 on Nov 23, 2018 |
