The Bikeriders Movie Review - It's Not What You Think

- The Bikeriders Movie Review - The Bikeriders is not the movie it presents itself in the trailers. It really should be called "The Bikeriders Wife" because this story is told through the eyes of one of the female wives in the gang. I think approaching the movie this way was a mistake. It doesn't actually lead to a more interesting story. Instead, it hinders the more interesting aspects, leaving the movie a stale and lifeless. Not unwatchable but certainly a miss.

The best scene was that 20 year old asking to join and leaving his friends behind.
Def one of my favorite scenes too. Just goes to show how unfit he was for the Vandals. He's pretty much the antithesis to Benny.
I worry this movie will bomb at the box office and nobody will see it. I want to see more movies like this being made. Just simple fresh stories made by people giving it their best shot!
I'm going to go see it again in 30 minutes😊
Saw it twice now.
Well that's the dilemma. Ppl complain about Hollywood but never go support the actual movies they claim they want to see
@@mania4270 isn’t it frustrating! Like horizon American saga is actually guaranteed to bomb at the box office but at least it feels like a fresh and honest attempt at a film for western fans! I kinda get the feeling it’s gonna be slow and boring regardless but I wanna support the effort anyway!
@@mania4270 remember The Last Duel from 2021. That movie was a guaranteed bomb from the get go but it’s the kind of mature movie we don’t make anymore! If it came out around 2000-2005 it would’ve been a hit
You clearly missed the whole point. It’s about the nostalgia of the period and the people. It makes me sad that you miss the point the denigrate the film.
Boring, slow moving. Disappointed…
My aunt was SUPER excited for this film! She's super dooper into Austin Butler.
I hope she likes it.
He’s just so dreamy
View it as a greek tragedy. Then the ending makes more sense. I agree it was somewhat anti climatic, however many people who walk away from a bad path that they are on in life, often do so anti climatically. Someone dies. They almost die. They almost go to jail, etc... and they take some time to think about it and then quietly walk away.
To those of us that have done that.... It resonates.
That would be fine if the character was even remotely interesting. He comes off like a dude that has almost nothing going on upstairs. Just hearing the motorcycles revving in his head while he sits in a lawn chair.
Absolutely .. it's been nearly 40yrs since my biker days, met similar kinda characters done the time and given up tobacco, Still love the Ale and festivals though ... lol
I really dug this one, way more than I was expecting to. Thought it had a lot of tone and memorable performances, and I actually enjoyed the kind of documentary / story-told-at-a-bar structure. Top 3 movie of the year so far for me!
I saw it yesterday, I loved it.
Best lesson said in the film:
"No matter what you give to a thing, no matter how much you give everything you got, it's just gonna do what it's gonna do".
*Spoilers*
Movie felt like a wasted opportunity. Benny should have returned to challenge Johnny's rivals and earn back the Vandals loyalty. Johnny even mentions Benny being his successor but the film never delivers on this promise, nor does it deliver any real action or thrills. The last 10 minutes where they show the Vandals becoming a mafia style gang that murders their rivals execution style looked like the movie we should have gotten in the first place. There was so much potential to tell a story where Benny had to earn respect while defending the club's honor. Instead, the movie felt like a really cool, albeit very long, buildup to nothing.
First, it was based on a true story.
The ending was perfect. It was a guy who was going down a destructive path and his father figure died but it left Benny with the opportunity to find a new life and meaning.
The knife fight where Johnny gets shot was a great example of the honor and the values of the Old guard being killed.
Cockroach getting beaten up for saying that he wanted to become a police officer was also pivotal, but also the thing that showed Benny that maybe there's life outside of the club.
This is a story of the guys who created something good, but as it grew it got out of hand and became too much for either of them.
There's a lot of subtlety and good writing in this. This is a grounded Story based on real events. This isn't a superhero film, it's a different element of the hero's journey.
For the guy who was willing to get beat up and almost lose his foot because he wouldn't take off his colors to leave the group when the nature of it changed was so bold.
Johnny saying bye to his wife and then wanting to say bye to Benny we knew this was the end and he probably knowingly quietly went to his death. The old men showing up in cars rather than riding their bikes showed this was the end of an era. They sowed violence and reaped the Whirlwind.
For somebody to be as violent as Benny was and get out alive believably was massive. Johnny asking him to take over the club, but he didn't want to showed subtly that he might have had some hesitation in the future of the club, but not in the guys he loved and when those guys were gone he had to move on.
The lack of action was a drag.
I'm seeing this tomorrow. I think it was originally supposed to come out in August or September of last year, but it got pushed back because of the writers' strike. Tom Hardy's American accents are terrible. I'll state it plainly.
I could not tell what accent Tom was doing.
What the hell is going on with his voice? Venom is laughable.
From the trailers it sounds like he's imitating Brando"s character Johnny in the Wild One almost to the point of parody
@@kingswing00 Yep, and he even gets his inspiration to start the club in the movie while watching THE WILD ONE on TV.
@@robbush6822 he was mimicking Brando as that is who he sees himself as. That’s part of the nostalgia of it, the comparison between The Wild One and Easy Rider which represents the kid, and also represents how Hollywood bastardized motorcycle culture therefore losing the innocence of how it started.
Did austin speak in his elvis voice 😂😅
No
Yeah basically lol
@bilalrashad6636 eeehh thank you very much.
So, there is still a strong woman involved... otherwise it wouldn't have been released.
Jodie Comer is in it so you know how it's going to go.
I went in knowing nothing about the movie and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.
This movie has nothing on the outsiders
just saw it,biker myself,liked it,not as much as i was expecting but was aight
also as a non smoker OMG THE AMMOUNT OF SMOKING IN THIS FILM
people smoking in cinema is how you know they’re cool (good dialogue and gravitas is old school) 🙄
A "Biker" whining about smoking in a movie.....
@@theunironicboomerang well I never smoked in my life 😂
Ain't that wild as the rest
husband is a former smoker - we walked out of the theater and he said that movie really made him want a cigarette....every.single.scene someone is smoking.
@@rhondarusk5787 sadly that’s the way it was back then. Looking at the pictures it seems the same. Plus I think Nichols was using the smoke as a device, maybe to show them as obscurity. . I noticed that tonight, the fourth time I saw it. It is in stark contrast to the last scene with Benny that is crystal clear.
I saw it yesterday and loved it and hope to catch it at least once more in the theater. Maybe my favorite for this year.
Dang I was hoping this would be a good one.
I have to strongly disagree that this is a bad movie. It's probably one of the best written movies in a while And probably because it's roughly based on a True story.
It's an excellent film. I just got home from watching it, it's amazing. It's going to go down as a classic.
One of the things that he complains about I don't agree with is that the the Midwestern accents are layered on quite a bit, but this is also a period piece and this is the type of way blue collar workers would have used 50 years ago but people are too self conscious about now, like a Joe Pecci accent.
It's a good study in male friendship.
The scenery is amazing. I live in Upstate New York and the houses look like they could be anywhere in Schenectady or Utica. It's rooted in Chicago, but it's a very rust belt story.
Just saw it after reading the book. This guy making the video absolutely missed the point.
So, it's pretty similar to that other Tom Hardy movie, ''Legend'', which was advertised as the story of the infamous Krays (Twin gangster brothers who ruled the London criminal underworld of the 1960's) but turned out to be some lame drama told from the POV of the wife, of 1 of these guys?
I had a feeling this movie was going to fall on its face in some way. It looks great! But like I said, i was just about positive it was going to fall short of what it promised. That’s too bad tho!
It also felt like the entire thing was shot in a dead town or an abandoned movie set. Not a fan of how this was shot at all.
I saw it... because I had a gift chard for a theater (Harkins) I needed to finish before I move. It was... fine.
I agree with the take on Tom Hardy's voices. Ever since lawless he's been doing these over cooked accents. Almost like pardon, my phrase, and New York Guido that stands about 5 foot five. Lol I'm laughing at myself because I'm funny.
But seriously, that's what kind of ruins it with me and Tom Hardy. He's so good but the voices he chooses to do the worst.
In what part of your inflamed brain did this thought mature? take care of yourself and try increasing the dosage
Although I am a fan of Austin Butler I think you gave a fair comment on the Bikeriders. I watched it twice for the sake of seeing Austin on big screen. Benny is merely a subject for everyone else to pursue and he wants nothing but freedom and feels nothing. Maybe he is just stunningly handsome but an empty dumb guy. He did not talk unless necessary and for most of time he stares the floor. The only time Austin acts with his sexy eyes is when he hits on Kathy at the beginning (all in the trailer already). Every character uses an interesting accent in this movie so I do not blame Tom Hardy on his but really I missed a lot of conversation due to their accent (English not my native language). Artistic cinematography as you suggested and good pace where moderate also realistic drama arises every 20 mins. but these are not enough to win the box office. No enough tension between gangster rivals, romance or bromance or actions that attract general audience. Not even enough racing of vintage motorcycles. At least they should ride a bit more. Jeff Nichols is a great director but next time he may hire someone else to write a better story.
It was a cool film you will forget in a week 😮
a movie about men being men? I see now why it's not being put out in theaters. My local theater straight up didn't give this movie a chance. Instead, we still have Garfield, which gets about 3 viewers a day. I manage the theater, I keep track of sales figures. It would have been beneficial to show the Bikeriders, even for a week. Instead, nope. Here's Inside Out 2 every hour on the hour and a movie that looks just like Popes Exorcist, but we promise it's a different movie trust us bro please. I'm about to have a talk with my corporate office to see what the hell is going on.
Got here mad early. Ive been on the fence about seeing this one!
Kinda felt like they used similar dialogue and even similar scenes from Goodfellas, Bronx tale and the outsiders..
If you seen the trailers, you have seen the good parts. You find yourself suffering through the movie waiting for the trailers you have seen.
One of the best films to work on. I actually watched this one. A very nice movie. The director is a really smart, nice and down to Earth guy.
Good review. Ive watched many of your videos since we get into a fight. Respect. I enjoy your channel. 🤝
Wut
Oh god, I'll pass
Your loss. The movie is awesome and he's really selling it short here
Can't wait for your next rant , Adam!
This voice of Tom Hardy is inspired by Marlon Brando and the character of Johnny from ''The Wild One''.
so whats this movie about?
As is the case with many classics that were not appreciated in their day, I'm sure this movie will have a strong following in less than 10 years and will no doubt bolster the biker club/gang culture.
I had not heard of this before your review.
That title of the movie...well, it's a title.
I'm sorry but I found this movie very boring. The characters were very forgettable and it glorified fist fighting in a way that was just stupid.
Two hours of random people riding bikes and a women narrating it
Now eventually there will be bike riding in your bikeriders movie, right?
I thought that exact thing, haha
The chick not bad
Not convinced about Austin Butler’s acting chops. I feel like he is being pushed on us.
Cant lie, the first time i saw the trailer i thought it was a joke. Once i realized it was real i was still unintersted. Just the name the bikeriders sounds like a joke, sounds like a cheesy ass 80s bmx movie.
I was looking for the big finale at the end.
Low key homoerotic vibes. Johnny was in love with Benny. Thats why Johnny was barely around his own wife. Thats why he wanted to burn down the bar where Benny was hurt. Why he challenged Cathy by trying to get Benny to take over the club instead of respecting boundaries and what she wanted for her and Benny (and looked like he was going to kiss Benny for a minute). Then Johnny dies and he's the only one Benny cries for.
For some reason Disney dumped this Focus got it
I enjoyed it. It's kind of a downer movie but at the same time it's something I wanted to watch again.
I thought the trailers spelled out exactly what this movie was: the whole thing narrated/told by Jodie Comer's character. But damn, the real shame sounds like the lack of actual bikeriding. 😅
TitleMax that sound like, a different... kind of film. The kind normally shot with video cameras. Lol
It’s good fellas rated PG
After seeing the trailer on TV I thought it might make an interesting documentary.... and a boring movie.
I want the ol' Adam haircut brought back. $12 buzz cut. Or is Adam too big for that now? Bigger than caring about the wing count at buffalo wild wings? Bigger than caring about toys having arms and legs that bend? Bigger than hating bikers? Now that is disappointing, sir.
Tom Hardy should really stop trying so hard at his accent acting thing. Everytime he does it, it takes away from his acting however good it was.
Adam you need to practice your "wait, what?". It was ok but you can make it better.
This movie rides like a bat out of meh. Just another boring biopic lite film with no cinematic styling to it. There's never any real tension or dramatic choices to be made, it's the wife telling the reporter: "this happened, then this happened, and then this happened." really weak storytelling like "Killers of the Flower Moon." There is no examination or catharsis or bikeriding for that matter. Pretty disappointing.
Tom’s accent is what made me not want to see this. And butler is as interesting as paint drying.
This movie was terrible it was a bunch of pretty boys pretending to be tough guys with clean teeth and male model looking and then it gave a hyperbolic version of what bikers are like it’s so bad
The soundtrack was underrated
This movie never knew what it wanted to be and the acting to me was terrible.
I really liked the movie. Good story. The actors are wonderful. 7.5/10👍
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah that's pretty much what i expected
I know you said it was subjective but i am getting tired of so called "movie critics" putting down a movie based on their expectations. The movie didn't go in the direction that you wanted it to, that is all your fault. The problem with people these days is that everyone thinks they can be a movie critic.
A job of a critic, in my opinion, is to inform the audience of what to expect. I believe the majority of the audience this movie is targeting will not be happy with the route the story takes. If you just want a boring review of critics saying the same thing, what would the point be? It looks good. It sounds good. The acting is solid. Most of that is pretty obvious from the trailer.
The trailer sold him a different movie.
@@AdamDoesMoviesYet, there's so much more in a good critique.
@@brentwachtertasticThat’s fine. There are a ton of movie critics on TH-cam. Clearly I’m not for you. Take care
Spoilers: The ending was basically the famous Indiana Jones scene.
Skulls of Enemies?
Chased by a giant rolling ball?
Aw dont do that to em dude
Why do you think you know what I think it is?
Very good review, I completely agree. thought it was okay at first but lost me after some time especially in the 3rd act.
On twitter someone tried to make it a whole gay thing
I saw this yesterday good film
Yeah I didn't care for the trailers either, they made it look ridiculous
I really liked this movie
Very disappointing...fell asleep 3 times in the theater... slow and boring...
That "wait, what?" was delivered expertly.
this movie was boring as hell. Austin buttlers character has no personality. hardly has any lines. tom hardy sounded wimpy and mumbled through all of his damn lines. barely any motorcycle riding yet its called the bikeriders. what a ChatGPT-made joke this movie is lol.
I liked it.
Tom Hardy should stop playing Americans because his American accents are very annoying 😒
Oh I couldn’t disagree more with nearly everything you said.
very disappointed with the movie!
Jody Comer is a wonderful actress. However, based on the trailer, her Midwestern accent is horrible. Sounds like Austin Butler’s character suffers from the same issue as his character in “Masters of the Air”. In that he has no personality or development, aside from being too-cool-for-school.
Easy Rider this is not.....
It wasn't trying to be.
@@m081113 no kidding
@@m081113 I was talking more about the motorcycles cruising around. And emphasizing the riding....
It is its on thing @@RedPilledRants
This movie was horrible
Is it not about people riding bikes? If so, Hollywood has to stop with this clickbait.
It was so bad. Corny
It sucked
It was garbage
His voice is weird because he is an English actor who does terrible American accents.
RE: Jody Comer's seemingly extreme whiny accent, she actually studied the real characters voice for hours to get it down right. The original characters were photographed and audio-taped for the book of the same name. The book is essentially a photo book about the formation of the Outlaws motorcycle club, which still exists today.RE: Jody Comer's seemingly extreme whiny accent, she actually studied the real characters voice for hours to get it down right.

@@theandroids😂👍
So it’s as bad as it looks?
Btw Tom Hardy 110% talks weird. It’s annoying
This review was spot on 100%
Through the eyes of the woman character? They really can’t help themselves, can they? No. Won’t see it.
It's based on the audiotapes of the actual person being interviewed for the book of the same name. Both the descriptions of the members and extreme whiny accent were copied for the film.
