complaining that people get shot really? this isn't a pg movie
PitchBlackFox Dark humour
Favourite movie of the year for me.
+The Critical Geek I agree. The trailer looks like fun.
+The Critical Geek That's not Green Room, Hail Caesar, Men & Chicken, Office or The Witch
strk
Haven't seen Men & Chicken yet. Haven't even heard of Office actually. Green Room & The Witch were pretty great, just y'know, not the kind of film I think I'll find myself revisiting in a couple of years. Hail Caesar was good too, had some problems I think, but still.
The Critical Geek I was half kiddin and took the opportunity to name my favorites as 2016 is going by.
I'm actually lookin forward to NiceGuys too, it's just that it'll prolly not get a (wide or any) release in my country and i'll have to wait for a bluray release.
Appreciate the response and thoughts on each film.
strk
Thumbs up then
Too often Matt and Alonzo talk about how hard to follow something is, and then I see it and wonder what the hell they were talking about. I'm starting to suspect that movie going has become too MUCH of a job for them and they zone out during a lot of these
Totally agree. These are by far the worst movie reviewers I'm subscribed too.
+The Masked Rambler lol laziness I guess.
+Tristan Kelly Agreed Enjoyable to watch their stuff but Alonzo & Francis can't follow a whole "Fear the Walking Dead" episode between the two of them. Maybe I sub for the guy from TCM?
+Trav _ Totally disagree. Matt is the smartest one on the panel.
nicodimus2222 That really has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about a general disinterest in paying close attention. Not a lack of ability to comprehend what's happening. Short version, I think they may be burnt out from watching so many films, and because of it, we're not getting as true a review as we used to, from them
what's wrong with mean and cynical? This was easily one of the best movies of the year.
And strictly on the subject of What the Flick reviews themselves. Lately they all just seem so disinterested. Doesn't matter if it's a film they liked, were 'meh on or hated, the energy of the panel is just lousy. And the videos don't so much end as much as they....peter out. With dead expressions and barely audible remarks. It feels like you guys can't wait to be done, so you can go do something else. Think it might be time for some new blood
+Trav _ If you don't like their videos, nobody's pointing gun at your head forcing you to watch them. Just unsubscribe instead of whining like a spoilt child.
+Trav _ When you have to see every movie that comes out, you come to expect a lot more of your movies. It's a job for them. I can understand their lack of fervor.
+ohthepeppers Point is I DO like their videos. Or at least I always used to. Lately though it's taken a down turn, IMO. So because I've been such a fan of this channel, I'd rather say something, than just write them off and unsubscribe. They can either see some merit in what I'm saying or not, but I know at the very least, given what they do for a living, they can handle some criticism. Even if some of there fans can't
+Coalton Ross No. Guys like Chris Stuckman has so much passion & energy even for films he hates, I don't agree with movie fatigue
Agree
haven't you guys ever heard of DARK COMEDY'S?... Jesus
Innocent bystanders get shot. It tragically happens. This is a dark neo-noir comedy from Shane Black. The most underrated film of 2016. I agree the WTF crew do need to lighten up.
So random people can't die??? hmmm...
Ready for Nice Guys 2: Electric Boogaloo.
oh and Alonso is weirded out that a 13 year old girl in the 70's saw porn😂
I've been watching What the flick for 4 years and Alonso lately is over analyzing films that are not meant to be serious in some parts. That being said I like the film 8.5/10.
"I think I'm invincible. It's the only thing that makes sense!"
That was me after all my friends said they got Covid and I didn’t
The Nice Guys is a total breath of fresh air!(Just screened it)In a nutshell it is a spritual successor to KKBB,nice mix of thrills&laughs(many unsuspected),and in lovely Shane Black flourish he ends it at Christmastime,hinting at more cases!And the young actress Angourrie Rice steals the whole show!Nice One,Shane Black:)
Alonso: Why the "spoiler" about the dead wife?
They just did this the other day with their x-Men Apocalypse review what the flick gives!!!
+SoulStylistJukeBox they spoil things all the time in their reviews its really annoying but this isn't really a spoiler
damn it Alonso!
I disagree with Matt Atchity on one thing: The Last Boyscout WAS a great movie! Shane Black is an amazing writer and with just 3 movies on his belt is really becoming a great director too.
7:55 Just saw the movie and couldn't agree more. In fact, when the whole case thing was over, I sat there thinking the exact same thing: _I would love to watch these two characters go on other crazy adventures._
Last Boy Scout wasn't a great movie?!?!?!
Thank you!! It's his BEST film by a country mile. 2016? Where THE FUCK is my 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition?
I fuckin' loved this movie, ESPECIALLY the little girl, contrary to what was said here. Such a clever and unexpected twist to add her to the mix of things.
+ja ba
Having a 13 year old girl talk about anal sex in a film is fucking brilliant. Only Shane Black would something so twisted.
The rim job comment was the best lol.
+ja ba
Oh yeah, that made me go, "Whaaat the fuck did she say??" Hahaha
is this movie a wide release? i feel like it wont get much attention.
+CarSVernon It is a wide release and has had a lot of interest- you should check out the couples counseling videos they did with the blond woman from Big Bang Theory.
+Thessarabian may have a "wide" release but not a lot of screen showings which is where it really counts. at least at my theater there is only like 4 or 5 screenings
serenityq26 That may be, I know it's gotten a lot of attention from film nerds, and there have been a ton of commercials on TV for it.
Thessarabian
well its a "critic film" so of course nerds would love it. they are pushing the film for marketing, the studio wants to make its money just recently a lot of these period piece films havent been really clicking with the mainstream audience. i personally only saw it cause of my aunt, i had no interest in it at all. the trailer didnt interest me, dont particularly like the actors or the time period. the movie going audience of this smart phone generation probably dont want to see "old" stuff lol
Just like Alonso, I say "respeito" every time Yaya DaCosta comes up in conversation.
Liked it a lot, didn't LOVE it the way I hoped I would. Some of the jokes felt forced and were reaching too hard to be zany and whacky, but overall, it was pretty fucking great.
The daughter in The Nice Guys kept reminding me of the character of Penny from Inspector Gadget
Sounds like "LA Confidential 1977".
It really is
+tropicAces it real is..nt
Yeah, but with inconsistency and poor writting.
widM its a comedy spoof, take a fucking break its not trying to be citizen Cain.
Scott Lee Clayton Newsflash for you, even comedy spoof can have a consistent script and character arc. Look at some Mel Brooks film.
8:45 Fargo season 2 maybe? I would say that describes it very well.
A 13 year old at a porn party is not that hard to believe in 70's LA. Kim Fowley would be considered a habitual pedophile in todays standards but he even but an under age girl rock group and sold them to the world as under age sex kittens. An underaged groupie wrote a tell all book about being passed around between super famous rock legends when she was 13-14.
That is just a reason for Alonzo to complain and give his biased opinion.....why can't movie reviewers just see the movie for what it is and what it's not?? Crowe and Gosling....I'm watching that shit because they never been in a movie together and they are both great actors and that is the reason to watch it.....
The storytelling of this movie is so random and ADHD. But the plot is beautifully crafted and well-thoughtout.
I'm 3 mins in and it's already clear the guy with the glasses didn't quite get it. Gonna stop here. Tell me if he gets it by the end.
Chris Stuckmann, Schmoes Know & 91% Rotten Tomatoes....or this confused lot?
+Abe From an Do you see maybe an age difference here? The older audience wants more then just quick funny bantar and didn't like the lack of story. When you get older you'll probably be the same way. We all will.
+basquat76 the 18-24 crowd perhaps. Us of 25-35 crowd brought you such good stuff as Facebook & Taylor Swift.
Why would you spoil that his wife is dead?
+Anthony Rodriguez It's not a spoiler, it's been in a lot of the write-ups and is apparently introduced early in the film.
It has nothing to do with the plot, don't worry
How do you guys forget about Yaya Dacosta in Take the Lead? Ha!
... sometimes the Political Correctness of these 3 is a bit much ... !
+Randall MacDonald its embarrassing having to listen to them complain that people get shot in a movie for adults
+PitchBlackFox ... if it were once and awhile, but it'd practically every time ... I don't know who's worse, the Sensitive Gay Guy, the Mousey Girl or the Creepy Loner....LOL???
+PitchBlackFox They are not complaining that people get shot. They are complaining about the 3 (possibly more) INNOCENT people that had nothing to do with the plot get shot. And I have to say, in my opinion I could have definitely done without the random old lady getting shot.
Chase Repass its a movie for adults if you still think the world is separated into good guys and bad guys and that only bad guys are allowed to be shot in movies then the problem is with you
+PitchBlackFox I am very aware that the movie is for adults as it was rated R. My point is an innocent person would get shot like an old lady in a string of comedic actions that were all funny and innocent people getting shot to me isn't my idea of funny. So I guess it's the changes in tone? Call it what you want they hit the nail on the head in the review.
Even before I knew it was Shane Black I got a huge Kiss Kiss Bang Bang feel from the trailer, which makes me want to see it. I love that movie.
600 dollars, their pants, their leather, they dont have like a tv in them or something?
+professor4444
Fuck yes. The Last Boy Scout is criminally underrated. A fucking awesome Shane Black script.
I'm fascinated by movies where innocent bystanders get killed. Nine times out of ten it makes the movie more interesting to me.
thats an insult to boogie nights
I love Shane Black. I'll be amazed if it tops Last Boy Scout. That movie is still so fucking funny to me after all these years. Honourable mention to Long Kiss Goodnight.
soooo....basically Inherent Vice, Boogie Nights, and The Master all at once?
+sojiroT Not sure any movie can be The Master. The Master is its own thing.
+sojiroT It's almost a comedy because there are so many funny parts in it.
+sojiroT Don't be fucking ridiculous. It's more The Big Lebowski than any of those films
City Unseen It has the period detail of Inherent Vice it seems and the sort of tone of Boogie Nights. Don't see The Master in this (like I said, that film is unique)
Yea I might have been tripping with The Master reference. I just took the male companionship synario in The Master and compared it to this just so I could get a PTA joke in lol
kiss kiss bang bang 2.0
So Kiss Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Bang?
+PurushaDesa 2Kiss2Bang
Loved Iron Man 3 and this looks good.
what the fuck is "1977"?
+Dee Kay lolwut
a year
no wonder I NEVER subscribed to this Chanel
Alonso doesn't like shit! This movie is great I loved it!
Absolutely loved this movie but I do agree to an extent that the 3rd act is chaotic. Ryan Gosling should have died at least 10 times in the last 10mins, which did bother me a little because, how he survived falling off the balcony in the first half is inexplicable. However to have him survive much worse later on did put me off. Also I didn't like Gosling's daughter preventing Crowe from killing Matt Bomer, didn't this bitch throw what she thought was hot coffee on someone? I'm sure she could understand that this guy had to die. Other than those two hiccups I felt this movie got so much right the main 3 characters are fantastic, it's shot well, often hilarious and the mystery is intriguing. Definitely one of the best movies of last year.
Fear the walking dead review please!
Alonso is passionate but gets too much air time! Lower his mic!
This movie really reminded me of the family movies Disney was making in the 1970s...albeit with sex and violence. Really, what more could a person ask for?
great review, the timing of some scenes seems out of place and overall pacing of the movie is kinda slow lot of it could have been edited out and it will still be good. p.s. that amelia character was complete bollocks when they finally found her it's so disappointing and it makes zero sense... but people turned off brains much earlier, so yeah..
Woah Alonso is getting spoilery had to skip over a bunch of his commentary
Kinda the original Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
You are reviewing this movie as if it was a PG13. Why don't you reinstall the Hayes code? For Gods sake.
the thing I hate about kiss kiss bang bang is it doesn't feels like a buddy comedy for me it's a downey comedy movie however this movie feels like a buddy comedy !!!
I have a total crush on Christy.
Yeah the plot really is not all that well thought out, but that really doesn't matter.
The third act gets confused! I totally disagree.
🙄 every single time I click on these reviews I always come away thinking these people are pompous turds. Especially Alonso. This movie was a hilarious blast and that’s what it set out to be.
These guys really don't get it. Jeez.
I thought this was hilarious and clever
It was good minus the little girl.
Yeah "Kiss KIss, Bang Bang" is great. This film, not so much.
The opening scene of this movie made me sick to my stomach and ruined the whole thing for me. Big surprise that all the comments saying "What's the problem - I loved this film" were from dudes. Yuck.
This guy with the white beard pisses me off
It isn't a comedy. Why do they keep saying that? The humour happens amongst the characters, the tone is an action thriller
I loved the hell out of it
My god this review was awful. Has the dude in the middle only ever watched children’s movies
I'm a big Shane Black fan but this just didn't work for me. Dialogue didn't pop, lines weren't as funny as his normal films. Disappointing.
A channel about politically correct critics, that seems to go against what being a critic stands for.
liked it
So your chief criticism is that the movie doesn't kowtow to PC sensibilities? Sounds like a fucking winner.
No thats not their criticism.
BJAdamBarry I can comprehend just fine what they're saying, thanks.
+HitchensImmortal
Jesus Christ, "PC" has become the new "liberal" for whiny conservatives. Don't like something? It's "PC"! Waaaaaa!
keefriff99 Not a conservative. Just a liberal who's seen waaaaay more of life than you.
Over twice as much, if your name is as formulaic as it appears to be.
took me two tries to get through this movie and I never laughed. I have a four laugh minimal for comedies.
Does this mean we can finally forgive Shane Black for the awful Iron Man 3?
Iron Man 3 was great
+deathschool91 I wish that were true. What a waste of a terrific cast.
+deathschool91 Ha, are you drunk? Iron Man 3 was TERRIBLE
+deathschool91 I agree. I loved Iron Man 3.
Stop being ignorant, IM3 is good. The twist didn't ruin it, grow up
sexond!
bunch of snowflakes
not only worst movie of the year one of the worst movie's i've seen in my life. last time i let someone force me to see crap i have no interest in. havent seen kiss kiss bang bang since it first came out so dont know if my opinion of that film would have changed but with this and iron man 3 i think shane black has lost his touch.
This movie was so bad. It was slow. It should have been tightened up a lot. I had high hopes for this movie and am so disappointed.
Getting sick of these quirky violent retro movies.
+Johnny Threefour Quit exaggerating. There aren't enough of this type of film for any sane person to legitimately claim to be "getting sick" of them.
