Thank you for watching! :)
I loved the whole thing with “fate” and “luck”, and whether you can control either. And that water bottle bit was awesome.
Portmanteau of “fate” and “luck”: fuck
the water bottle having a backstory was hilarious
I think many people miss the bigger picture in this movie, I think the action and the comedy is just a plus to a bigger picture
@@CreativeFoodgamingyoutube bro it ain’t that deep
@_Waluigi every movie has a message lol. bullet train is clearly trying to say that all our little stories that we see as the world are just from our perspective, and reality is actually way more chaotic than anyone can imagine, even with the mathematical definition of chaotic. any belief that anything about life makes sense or revolves around anyone in particular is a narcisstic delusion.
the wolf backstory was probably the highlight for me
also i just realized while watching this, that ladybug was almost hit by a tangerine truck at the beginning of the movie
OHHHH SHIT, man they really knew how to tie every little detail together
*= SPOILER WARNING =*
This movie was a BLAST, but if I had to nitpick.. I wish the fact that White Death had mistaken Ladybug for Carver was revealed at the very end until after the train crash, instead of the scene where Ladybug handed the suitcase over.
I mean, it seemed like the whole point of White Death's cliché backstory and him grandiosely scheming the whole plot was all just to make it all come crashing down at the end when Ladybug was humorously revealed as merely a stand-in for the assassin who Mr. Death was after.
Because honestly, the idea of the entire villain's role in the story being purposed for just ONE joke should've been presented more properly.
The water bottle backstory was the best
@@U-L-T-R-O-N Found the basement dweller. The movie was fucking amazing and written extremely well.
@@U-L-T-R-O-N I agree. It would've been hilarious if the audience found out Ladybug was a stand in for Carver when the White Death did
As someone that read the book, I was actually surprised and kind of happy that they kept the Thomas The Tank Engine stuff. If you can believe it, there’s A LOT more of it in the book. And they incorporated it better in the film.
This movie is probably my biggest surprise of the year so far. It was much, much better than I expected it to be. Especially visually, and the editing.
I can't imagine this as a book I honestly thought this was based off a graphic novel
@@athenajaxon2397 wait, is it not?
@@athenajaxon2397 Watching it reminded me how Edgar Wright directed Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
@@athenajaxon2397 Yeah seems like that would be a better fit but idk I never read the book
Wait, this is based on a book? Damn, didn't know that.
Karsten, you’re just mad you’re a Diesel and not a Gordon
Im unironically gonna start calling people Diesels cause its funni. This movie was perfect for my half rotten brain
man you sound like a Thomas
@@lainothefirstlmao I'm with you on the diesel
That right there is why I hated this movie.
Exactly
I absolutely loved this movie! It was funny af and it really doesn't take it self to serious. It's really fun to watch with some friends.
exactly, like it wasn't a masterpiece but my god was it a fun time in the movies, watching it with friends elevates the experience
exactly how i felt! definitely wasn't a waste of time, first enjoyable bit of escapism I've had in a minute

Finally it’s here…
same dude!
Same
The Thomas the tank engine bits were hilarious and at some point even the characters themselves got tired of the tank engine stuff. All in all It’s actually good.
Bro I watched that show growing up and I’m telling you I contribute that show to who I am to this day 😂
@@Crazy-pl1lo Bro is Lemon in real life 💀
@@anthonyst-onge I ain’t no Diesel mate!
I feel like in any other movie I would have gotten sick of it, but I feel like the bit ties into Lemon's character. Like how it helps us identify him as someone who has a good heart, and is a good judge of character
@@franklinbadge1215 if he never watched the TTTE show, he'd probably fall for prince's boohoo act.
Bro the product placement was crazy tho lmao. I was laughing out loud in the theater when Sandra Bullock drove up in her Audi with the logo showing just for Brad Pitt to say “nice ride”
and the FIJI water
The Corona beer in the wolf’s backstory was also pretty obvious
@@vasodyss Yeah, goofy af

Finally it’s here…
studios gotta recoup their losses 🤷♂️
I actually liked the thomas the tank engine bit and how it eventually led into the plot, i just didn’t like the explanation of it being to tangerine, who should know already lemon’s fascination of it. If it was explained to ladybug or something, that might’ve worked better IMO
I think the payoff for that bit is excellent but *damn* i wish they hadn't set it up again and again and again and...
I feel like this movie was rushed, isn't as polished as it should be, or deserves to be.
th-cam.com/video/Bdg4kjB4BIk/w-d-xo.html
Finally it’s here…
I actually don't think the explanation was to Tangerine, it was to the son, and Tangerine was like "okay Lemon, start your Thomas the Tank Engine bit, get over with it."
@@a.h.s.3006 you're right
He helped his best friend beyond the grave 😢 However, when Ladybug came into the room without context. 😭
5:33 sorry bro, the Thomas the Tank engine jokes were my favorite, in a train movie you gotta make them
Plus they’re a big part of the original novel-
Never trust a Diesel
“Diesel, you bellend” while actively bleeding out LMFAO
I love that there are problems you pointed out and that people in the comment section are saying they're loving this film. I think films are trying really hard to play it safe (marvel takes so many cool directors and waters down their styles to look formulaic). It's great that this movie is decisive because it means it makes a statement. And the biggest take away is that, this may not be the best film for everyone, but this could be someone's favorite film.
For me, I enjoyed the action.
th-cam.com/video/Bdg4kjB4BIk/w-d-xo.html
Finally it’s here…
It’s definitely mine.
Actually no, Everything Everywhere still beats it out but it’s a close second.
And that Someone is me :D (Well, Top 10 Favorite Movies)
my friend on letterbox gave it a 5/5 so it’s now one of his favorites.🙄 i thought it was mid.
As a lifelong Thomas the Tank Engine fan, the first time Brian Tyree Henry brought up Diesel I burst out laughing. The Thomas bits never got old for me, though I understand I'm kind of in the minority.
I saw this movie and immediately recommended it to my dad. It is a movie I think dads will love.
Moms too my mom loved it so much my was laughing the entire time
@@illkillagain My family went to see it while we were waiting for an evening flight. It was ages since I saw my mom laugh so hard.
Recommended it to my parents, they thought the action was too fast paced for them, but they enjoyed it.
my dad loved this movie too, i think it's because it has a lot of dad humour sometimes LOL
Can confirm, watched this movie with my dad, he loved it
It's a stylish movie, and we need more stylish movies.
AGREE
it's not stylish it's biting off actually stylish movies lmfao
I loved the twins so much in the movie because their chemistry was so good and entertaining to see however I really didn’t understand why tangerine had to die the way he did
It felt like there was no purpose of his death other than to have lemon be sad about him and jump into the water to eventually kill the little girl. I hope they make a movie with just the twins and their adventures because they really are soooo good as a dynamic
maybe that was the purpose, so lemon would kill the prince
I mean there really didn’t need to be a “purpose” for him to die, literally most of the main characters either got nerfed or had a fake out death. So him dying, although he was my favorite along w his twin, kinda made sense.
He checked that lemon was wearing his bulletproof vest earlier in the movie and lemon said its not gonna help me if I get shot in the neck. So tangerine who is also wearing his vest died by being shot in the neck as a parallel to that. Shame though, he was my favourite character and probably best acted role in the movie.
if tangarine lived he'd probably kill prince, and prince wouldn't been able to bait her father into taking the gun that got him killed. so i say his death did serve it's purpose.
The Prince gets away with more than she deserves, she’s too lucky for her own good and Tangerine dying was proof. His death also relays how you’re supposed to feel about the characters. Tangerine dies in such a shitty way and Lemon with his corpse makes for a very sad scene, you’re supposed to feel sad when he dies. Then the Prince gets killed in a comedic way, a way that’s revenge from Lemon and also a middle finger from Tangerine from beyond the grave, her death is a joke, played for laughs, you’re supposed to laugh when she dies but be heartbroken when Tangerine dies.
this movie is stupid as hell but way more entertaining than i thought it would be
I loved this movie!
exactly!

I love how every story ties together. Idk about stupid. It's well crafted with likeable characters you grow into based on their backstory/personality.
I 100 percent agree
Loved this movie, It's comedy was a bit hit or miss but the action and colorful cast heavily makes up for every other mistake in the film

@@gabriellewatson3635 Idc
@@Rainbonana That's a bot, ignore it.
The complaint I got from my parents who watched it under my recommendation, is that it was too fast for them to keep up with. Which is, understandable, but the fast paced action was exactly why I loved the film.
@@a.h.s.3006 Oh thanks!
In the beginning it was meh bc we didn't know these ppl. The 1st time I laugh was that dude who was the 17th kill 😂. But yeah, the comedy kicks in once you get to know the characters more.
The emphasis on one/two-on-one duels really made this for me. Too many action movies are just destroying crowds of mooks.
Also, big shoutout to the movie for doing so much with just the interior of a train. Small-scale spectacle is an art increasingly ignored.
I think the fact that it all takes place on a train means that physically only one on one/two fights can happen
@@wouju9600 Yes, and the focus greatly improves the action. Plus, it's impressive how much set variety they get out of such a small space.
I LOVED this movie so much.
th-cam.com/video/Bdg4kjB4BIk/w-d-xo.html
Finally it’s here…
It’s a solid action movie with some good gags. If you take it as that, you’ll have a good time.
Pretty much it’s not a masterpiece but it’s a entertaining movie
@@Lifeoftheparty8290 fr definitely better than Thor
this is how an action comedy should be. it’s a genre you shouldn’t expect much from, but this one does it’s job.
The Thomas the tank engine bit was a parallel to the actual
movies story. Each person had different morals around life and killing just like how the tank engines have different attributes. And how both are metaphors for life
I feel like there’s a big wave of people that always have this negative point of view for these new upcoming movies, always trying to find small details to downgrade them, that surprisingly they’re never able of actually liking one. Some opinions I can understand but this movie I feel like it’s main target was obviously the comedy with a plus of action, I really enjoyed it, I’ve never laughed this much in a movie theater, the cast was amazing the same goes to the characters, great purpose on each of one of them and amazing plot twist that at least for me, I never saw coming. Loved the cameos as well, I just loved everything, for me it was about the experience and the great time that I had with it, this movie really isn’t looking for it to be the next Oscar worthy and life changing storyline, this movie’s main target I feel like it was for the audience and the enjoyment.
I agree why can't movies just be fun not all movies need to be serious and have modern social issues cramed into them.
Loved this film, full of action and jokes and the Thomas the tank Engine bits are surprisingly important (this critic is cleary a diesel). Reveiwing it like its a piece of high art is bloody rediculous. Like the Deadpool movies it's absurd Warner bros. style cartoon violence and it's SO much fun.
just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it can’t still have flaws. it’s a movie at the end of the day, and it’s alright to want more from them.
Indeed. There is a part of me that enjoys how colorful it is, the action at times, the "twins" were solid the whole way, the momonga character and even certain surprises, but there is also the feeling that it felt way longer than it should have been and was quite overwritten in some results and puts me of two-minds with the film. Also, I actually love the monologing villain trope, but even at some point by the end, I was just hoping for this to pick up the pace and stop with all the talking and that is a bit damning for me in writing.
I also thought it was longer than it needed to be but I’m not sure what part I could’ve done without.
th-cam.com/video/Bdg4kjB4BIk/w-d-xo.html
Finally it’s here…
It was only 2 hours bruh
Who is momonga again?
@@porc1429 The mascot that appears throughout the film.
Honestly seeing good action blockbusters like Maverick and Bullet Train back to back got me hopeful for a future with less Disney-marvel cinematic universe trash and more original high and mid budget film.
I really loved this films style and cinematography, and if I’m going to be honest, I LOVED the Thomas bits. But I think that’s largely because one of my friends is a big Thomas fan, and seeing/hearing his reactions to the Thomas comedy really added to it 😂 but I do agree that the jokes weren’t always on point.
Are we the same person cause I had the exact same experience
The Thomas jokes were funny tbh
See, I also don't believe they thought the audience was dumb when they showed all the connections of the characters. In fact, I think it was actually an incredibly smart play on a common movie trope. This movie actually references LOTS of common tropes from stories, such as Lemon and Tangerine literally pulling off the death scene from Romeo and Juliette, and the weak, defenseless girl trope. But the most important tropes they played off of is the murder mystery on the train trope. The idea of that story type is that there's always one person who essentially set up the entire arrangement of people. Every single person was on the train because of the results of one single other person, or dare I say, because one person tried to "control fate". Yes, that's what I think the story is really about- the idea that no one person can control fate, and that in attempting to do so, in trying to make their own murder mystery on the train story, they didn't account for simply dumb luck. They didn't account for the fact that Ladybug would effectively alter his plans because fate let it be so. And in the end, Ladybug realizes that his bad luck wasn't luck at all, nor was it bad. His luck was simply fate taking course. And by the end of the movie, when the light is shining onto his face, only to be blocked by the old man who shared this wisdom with him, he stops letting his own perspective of fate blind him like the light in his eyes, and see it in another perspective.
That was my take on it anyway. I loved it so much more after I realized these details.
This far and away the best comment on the movie on here.
The movie itself just speaks "shut off your brain and enjoy the action..."
in my opinion the plot is really fun and well crafted, so i dont really agree with the shut off your brain.
the action is ok, the plot is way more interesting, i still love this movie even if they cut all the action parts
How? The plot’s so complicated. It took me a while after the movie to piece together the whole plotweb
@@TasX I think thats the point
You should read the book, it’s a lot better, less comedy more thriller. The Thomas the tank engine bits is a big part of the book so I get why they kept it.
Depends on what you mean by better. The movie clearly does its job at cinematography and music that the book can’t do
I also liked the book somewhat better, but the movie was fun too.
@@TasX I'm going to assume they aren't comparing the obvious components of film that text cannot replicate bud...
@@SpudSpudoni I'm going to assume that you understood my point like the other people who upvoted this bud...
@@TasX Trust me, we all did, Captain Obvious. Next you're going to tell me The Last of Us game does a better job at gamification than the show does 😱
Bullet Train feels like a movie that somebody, or a group of people, wanted to make for a long time. I went into it knowing exactly what it would be and went out just slightly surprised. It's zainy, it's slick, it's dope, it's got some healthy "I'll give you that one" type laughs, and it's just all-around a fun watch whether alone or with friends.
It's not the film of the year, and everyone involved knows that. It's just a pleasure.
The sound design for this movie was so bizarre. I don’t know if it was just my theatre but the music was insanely loud but some scenes, like the bit where lemon and tangerine count their kills, had garbled audio 😭
Yup same thing with my theatre
Wasn’t a problem in mine
I didn’t have that issue. Maybe something to do with Dolby atoms?
The dumbed down humour kinda worked for me, especially with Lemon and Tangerine. Insisting that they’re ‘twins’ even though they clearly aren’t and riffing off each other childishly sent home the point that these two are children at heart despite being violent hitmen.
One detail I liked is how the women fought. I am so annoyed by tiny women in movies throwing men who are double their weight around lol. The women in this movie used other ways to beat the men they fought, either poison or deception. It was a nice detail I noticed
Reviewers thinking they'll be immortalized
This was such a fun movie I didn’t have to take seriously for one minute. Only part I hated was the massive Fiji ad lmao
Nah I loved the ad it was funny 😂
I thought the audi ad was more annoying
That ad was the most perfect product placement I could not stop laughing at it but it did not detract from the movie whatsoever
i thought the wolf section was a corona beer ad for a sec
You HATED it? I thought how it was so obviously an ad was really funny, along with the scene with the corona was filmed just like corona ads. And not to mention the Audi closeup just for it to get crushed. You guys take things too seriously 😅
The water bottle scene was so smart
I've walked the full circle on this one, first I thought it was just Brad Pitt needing money, then I liked the trailer, then I saw who was the director, then I saw the reviews and yesterday I finally watched the damn thing and thought it was in fact really good
I guess a downside would be the obscene amount of montages on this thing, although some of those are worth it
The thomas the tank engine jokes were actually in the novel it's based on. No lie
"Hey, don't tell me I've got no attention span. I'll give you an example. Take Thomas and Friends..."
"For fuck's sake."
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good comedy at the theater, this movie was a blast
Can we talk about the SOUNDTRACK though... I was constantly banging my head watching this film, absolutely fire!
The fact that the twins were West Ham supporters and ‘Bubbles in the air’ played when Tangerine found Lemon’s body was so poignant.
Also the Thomas references were spot on, really great device to understand the Twins’ relationship via the dialogue.
I think the only part of this movie I really didn't like was how often ladybug resorted to using therapist talk when it was a life or death situation. He saw repeatedly that it wasn't getting through to them, and still tried to use it even when his life was on the line. Against the wolf he talked sensibly, saying things like "can't we just talk this out?", but then later he says things like "there's this wall between us, and it's glass..." which takes longer to say and is far less helpful in getting your peaceful intentions across.
The backstories for all the characters are nicely done. And the performances are pretty strong.
Honestly the only joke I didn’t like was the prince asked the father “what’s his name again?”.
Lemon and tangerine need their own movie
Holy sh*t they were awesome 🤩
It feels like a Tarantino ripoff and it works because it’s just a fun fucking acid trip.
It's trying to be Tarantino, Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright all at once.
Jokes about Thomas the Tank Engine are HILARIOUS
This movie just became my comfort movie. It’s so great and they way we see those twins mourn for each other? My ghad CINEMA give me more angst!
I could not stop laughing for the majority. It knew it was a silly absurb action comedy with OTT action and story but hell ya it was funny and had me hooked and entertained
I think we found the Diesel
The Thomas the tank engine thing wasn’t just a joke , it tells you a lot about the character personality about how he sees things , and shows a sweat side of him , and it flashes back to his childhood when he is watching the show with a toy train.
It also makes the sticker scene kind of touching , I said is more of a character trait than a joke
I’m my opinion I never thought the Thomas the tank engine motif was a joke, i thought it had comedic moments and elements but more importantly served story purposes, I think it’s well used when they identify characters by each different train revealing to other characters their true nature
Like putting ketchup on birthday cake? Seriously? This guy hate everything I loved about this movie.
I honestly found most of the jokes pretty funny, but I will say the Thomas jokes do get pretty grating pretty fast, but otherwise I thought a lot of the other little quips were actually pretty funny. Plus, I feel like most of the better comedy bits come specifically from the action in a slapstick sort of way, and some of the deaths are pretty over the top in a darkly comedic fashion, so overall I was pretty impressed with this movie. Plus SPOILERS but the water bottle bit was pretty great not gonna lie.
It's 2 years later and I've seen Bullet Train 3 times at this time, and at least for me, it definitely gets better after each viewing. I catch more of the jokes, I notice more of the callbacks throughout the movie (there's a lot of blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make the movie that much more enjoyable once you notice them). Overall, pretty decent movie. It's fun, it's kinda dumb at times, but heck I liked it.
Another TH-camr who sounds like he really doesn’t want to do this, why are so many TH-camrs so depressing to listen to now a days.
The Tomas the Tankengine stuff was lifted straight from the book. I did not expect them to put it in the movie. It didn’t bother me though.
and i 1000% agree that only bad bunny’s backstory scenes felt useful and necessary, and he really commands the screen. i was super disappointed when his character was killed so early on
bro don't you DARE talk about those thomas the tank engine jokes like that. that's diesel behaviour
The trailer kept making me think of Smokin Aces fused with Hotel Artemis
It’s freaking great, they shouldn’t have killed off Tangerine, and the wolf should have lasted longer, but otherwise, it’s one of the greatest movie since 2019, at least in my opinion.
I was surprised to find out that Lemon's obsession with Thomas and Friends was actually in the book! They just chose to keep it in this adaptation. On the other hand, they changed "The Prince" character, who is a guy in the book.
I honestly wish he/she was just as evil in the movie as in the book.
Based on the trailers, my expectation for this movie was pretty low. I went in expecting a forgettable action movie. I came out talking with my friend about all the foreshadowing and story plots we caught. Overall, I think this movie is worth a watch. It’s a whole lot of fun.
I adore the book tbh. I think that the editing tried to capture that because the book went between the POVs of the main characters. I liked Lemons Thomas bit-it was a book thing and idk about the movie but in the book it played really well into the plot.
I love the book sm
@@bogih21 Yeah it’s honestly one of my fav books. If there’s one problem that really makes the movie ehhh for me it’s that Brad Pitt just…isn’t Nanao and it’s hard to picture him as such.
@@MagicalGirlFia I agree. Nanao is supposed to be this seemingly kind and a bit awkward, stressed out guy in his mid-twenties, and Brad Pitt just doesn't give off that vibe, yk? He was by no means terrible in the role of Ladybug, but I kinda wish they picked someone who fits this description more. I preefer book Nanao
@@MagicalGirlFia I also kinda wish The Prince was more like his/her book self. I don't mind the gender change at all, but I wish she was just as evil and cunning. She mostly just fake cried when she was in a thight spot, and while Satoshi also often relied on the innocent kid act, as much as I hate to say it, he was pretty smart. And just way more creepy and interesting overall.
I knew from the trailer I wanted to watch it. The music is really fun. The flow of the story was told in a unique way - that actually worked! - and the over the top characters still felt grounded. Lemon and Tangerine steal the show by the end for me. You can tell after the train crash that the movie isn’t trying to take itself so seriously if you’ve seen it.
The theme of bad luck is just a reminder of how even though things didn’t turn out the way we wanted, the fact you made it past what could’ve been worse is actually a testament FOR the good luck your having!
I agree with most of this video except for how the movie is broken up. I think the random cuts that slow down the momentum are done purposefully to throw the viewer off. It’s that weird sense of calm you get from the backstory of the water bottle split in between a dude getting his head blown off. It’s the calm in the chaos. I think it works.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie and it was better than I expected, really fun and entertaining.
I got some real Smokin Aces, Lucky#Slevin, Sushi Girl vibes from this one. Really loved it. I haven't looked forward to a 4k release this much in awhile
I'm chosing not to watch this because I'd like to keep my opinion straight out of the theater. I liked it... it was good. End of sentence.
Never heard anything bad about this film till today. Glad this movie was a big success and it opens doors to another good time film like it in the future
The amount of interconnecting parts is so great, it's brilliant fun. The only issue for me was the pacing - the film could've shaved 10/20 mins off it I feel
I like Bullet Train for it knows what it is, and doesn't try to cater to anyone. There needs to be more movies that stay true to their concepts
We hired 5 assassins on a bullet train last one gets $50000 that's the fastest way I can explain it but the movie still good
At first I felt the same when I saw the trailer I was like it’s original but it just didn’t really sell me but I went to go see it today and I was surprised how I was entertained it wasn’t a bad movie some jokes landed some didn’t but the performances were pretty good I think people should watch this
I didn’t think of this before, but people have been comparing this to an anime style movie. The more I think about it, I can totally see that. The tone of it matches that.
I loved the thomas the tank engine bits, I thought that shit was hilarious. You have this trained killer referencing a childrens show, and when the diesel sticker was on the russian girl, I fuckin lost it
Im kind of upset that they did not put the rash conversation from the book in the movie
Same, it was so funny
thank you so sooo much for keeping your reviews punchy and concise. the info is always neatly packaged with your signature sincerity. you clearly know your sh*t in terms of film, cinematography etc etc, but you never hit us over the head with it. you treat your audience with respect and i just really appreciate that. been watching your reviews for years and sitting on this comment for a while. anyways thanks and take care! also I loved this stupid neon mess of a movie i had such a damn good time
The trailer didn't pique my interest...but Heath of Cereal at Midnight reported that it was one of his favorite movies from 2022. The 4K looks and sounds great.
Movie was sick.
I refuse to hear any slander.
I thought the movie was alright. I gave it a 5.6/10. For an 80 million dollar budget I felt the editing and CGI was severely underwhelming and even bad at some points. The choreography was great tho which does help the production overall. I felt that there was little character development and an overall lack of growth for most characters. Like he said the writing was the biggest weakness by a good margin. The idea itself held a lot of potential and opportunities, however I felt that it just didn’t execute on the idea well enough.
Are we not gonna talk about Bradd Pitt's blurred/censored eye bags towards the end of the film?
Thomas the tank engine aren’t comedy bits…it’s in the book. Lemon is obsessed with the show
Bullet train was a kooky, crazy and silly movie that made me absolutely love the movie. My personal favourite part of the movie was the lemon thomas the tank engine bit. It never got old for me
I thought the thomas jokes were very funny. I do agree that "shitballs" as a joke is a lil goofy and I'm surprised i didn't think about that when i heard it while watching.
not a movie critic but I enjoyed my time. The humor hit for me as well and for a lot of people in the audience. I kid you not there where so many reactions from the audience. Laughing, gasps, etc. This wasn't a quiet crowd and they couldn't get enough of it
I’m not defending some of it’s comedy, but I’m gonna say, the Thomas the Tank Engine bits WERE IN THE BOOK. Yes this is an adaptation of a Japanese novel.
Whenever a Hollywood modern movie is good I always check out If It is based on a book. 80% of the times It is.
funny that you describe this moviestyle as smug though, if anything, the way you look down upon this movie is smug.
7:10 it doesn’t sound like you care it sounds you care to much and letting it hinder your enjoyment
The movies like deadpool because it was actually made by the same director
This movie was a breath of fresh air among today's mediocre superhero & sequel blockbusters, it isn't great (neither does it try to be) but it's a really well done action comedy
Bro was really proud he came up with "off the rails" joke.
Nah bro Thomas the engine jokes were hilarious
I'm sorry man, but the movie was absolutely hilarious, bad comedy? What?!
It reminds me so much of the tone of baby driver and man from uncle. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but has great emotional elements. Sometimes, that's all you need.
The bottle track was neat and worked for me as a delightful break from all the chaos
dude the humour landed really well, why do you review schmucks always have to go about "uhk ackshually" about everything.
its an action comedy and frankly the best one since rush hour. it doesnt have to be deep or a slow burn.
I disagree with this video on just about every point. The comedy didn't always land, but it did for the most part. And the writing was better than most "serious" movies we get nowadays and way better than 99% of action films or action comedies. It promises a big, dumb action movie and it delivers, while also being way smarter than it really had any right to be. Also, the Wolf was probably the weakest part of the first act in my opinion. I still enjoyed his scenes, but if anything broke the flow of the movie it was watching his entire life story only to have him die like two minutes later. I suppose everybody has different tastes though and this just isn't the movie for you.
I thought it was amazing. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a while
