The thing you might be missing about "Dude" is that the character details weren't finished when they loaded him into the game. Hence the blue shirt tattoo instead of an actual shirt, "Catchphrase" because they hadn't created whatever they were going to give him for a catchphrase yet and him saying friendly gesture as it would've shown up in his programming.
@@myke13021 Well, I don't think "catch phrase" was really 'intended' (intentional) there. The scene at 31:29 is taken out of context. I still remember the cinema show - there Dude says: "Catch phrase!" Mouser wonders in front of the screen: "Catch phrase???" Antwan walks in and says, "I haven't had time to invent one yet. Although - "catch phrase" as a catch phrase is a pretty cooool catch phrase!" (Sorry for Google Translate - I was watching the German dub - and with us, Antwan had this slightly surprised tone, like he just realized how cool that is!) And with the other "Dude" sentence I just wanted to show that there is still a lot to be filled.
At 14:42, fun fact. A few years ago, Ryan Rynnollds sat down for a interview/chat with Jacksepticeye. They talked and he made a great impression. Years later they met again on a boat, and Ryan actually remembered him and called him over. They introduced their girlfriends/wives to each other. So when this movie was being filmed, Ryan ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO HIM, and asked him to be in his movie!! SO AWESOME !! ALSO, at 37:03, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO I'VE SEEN REACT TO THIS FILM, WAS CONVINCED SHE'D GET CLIPPED BY A BUS. ME AND MY MOTHER INCLUDED. WEIRD HUH?

It is too bad they cannot advertise it without giving it away. When I was a child I would pick random books because they looked nice or had an interesting title, and I avoided reading the introduction or the table of contents, and it was great trying to figure out what was going on.
Some context for the Marvel and Star Wars easter eggs, Free Guy was mid-production under 20th Century FOX, when they sold their film and tv arm to Disney, knowing this, the crew contacted someone at Disney and basically said, because this is going to be released under your banner, can we just put in a few cool bits of your IPs? And Disney went, sure.
This movie just wouldn’t have worked without Ryan Reynolds. One of my favorite movies that I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. I instantly clicked when I saw this pop up. Especially recently coming off of your Deadpool reaction. When Ryan pulls out the raunch jokes he literally never misses, it’s always funny. Aside from that, I don’t think anyone expected so many Disney/ Marvel or other character references in general. Chris Evans was definitely a surprise. And to think he just up and agreed to to shoot that little part on location just because he was around is what makes it the best surprise cameo ever. 😂
Thats the thing, everyone who has seen it loves it so much, it just didn't rock it at the theaters. And people need to learn (and it happening) that just cause it didn't do well there, doesn't mean it's not a great movie.
@@unluckydiablo9502- I had never heard of it. But Ryan’s mobile phone company was offering a free copy of the movie in 4K bluray with the purchase of 3 months of their service. So I got it and loved it.
"This movie wouldn't have worked without Ryan Reynolds" maybe more than you realize, his wife suggested the idea of getting Chris Evans to cameo, Reynolds got permission from Mariah Carey to use "Fantasy" and I think he had a lot to do with getting permission to use all of the Disney-owned properties as well. The film's release was delayed for almost a year because of the pandemic and they spent that time just packing it full of Easter eggs and tweaking it. I think my favourite addition are the girls playing ("Waste that motherf--") are Shawn Levy's (the director) daughters.
@@hellomark1 sure, but I was more talking about the movie as a whole and him I’m the role. If he hadn’t been cast, would have just been another dumb comedy to me. I think as long as Ryan was a part of the movie, the movie would have done well even without the slew of Disney and Marvel references.
There were soooo many fun cameo's in this movie, the guy in the alleyway that told Millie about the clip was Hugh Jackman! Just to let you know the whole theater shouted out when he made that jump from the bridge, this movie was SOOO good, I own it digitally and on hard copy.
15:17 Re-typed: That villain boss actor is Taika Waititi, you might know him as Korg from the Thor and Avengers movies, BUT he's also the creative director behind Thor Ragnarok and Love & Thunder! With this, I would love to recommend you these simply hilarious beautiful amazing movies which he starred and directed in like "What We Do in the Shadows" and "JoJo Rabbit". I hope you haven't saw it yet! Cant wait to see your reactions on it, Alex! Ps. This movie was directed by Shawn Levy who will be directing Deadpool 3 and it will mark as the 3rd movie that he and Ryan has worked on together, the second movie was called "The Adam Project" and to be honest, I liked it more than Free Guy, but both were great!
I am not double checking this atm but I am fairly certain he had a hand in Reservation Dogs on FX which is an amazingly entertaining show if you ever lived on a rez, settlement or even a small native community.... saw so much of home in that show and I'm from waaaaay up north in Canada
Ryan has the midas touch. Any movie he does is a huge success and deservedly so. He acts like many of us think or talk like on the day to day, that's what his movies are so likeable I think
The guy that gave Millie the video clip is voiced by Hugh Jackman. The robber who was played by the two girls is voiced by Dwayne Johnson. Edit: Revengamin Buttons' mom is Tina Fey.
I also underastimated this movie, I didn't even watched the trailer, but when I watched this movie with my friends I was completely blown away. This movie is so entertaining and refreshing
32:29 so do you happen to remember your Avengers Infinity War reaction, when you said Cap with that beard looked like a hipster who should be wearing a scarf while sitting in a Starbucks drinking coffee? Only thing missing here was the scarf. 😂😂😂
This guy is probably the best reaction youtuber. He says interesting, entertaining things and doesn’t leave out any important details from the movie by editing around it so it’s easy to understand
This movie and The Adam Project almost go hand in hand. Well worth watching that one too. edit: Also, I like to see this one as a modern day version of Tron. It's a similar story line and setting, kinda. Both Tron movies are also worth a watch.
The old Matrix film franchise created a video game, and recently someone created A.I. NPCs powered by chatGPT for that old Matrix game. There are several videos on youtube from people playing with these new NPCs, and they can become aware that they are trapped in the game. It's pretty trippy.
when Dude was saying things like 'friendly gesture', 'third thing here' and 'catch phrase' its because his coding was not complete and those words were place holders for his actual catch phrase and the third thing
Jodie comer, is an absolutely amazingly talented actress from the UK, you should check out killing Eve as she has so many accents and characters in it, also help or thirteen, along with many other shows shes done are great, she even had a cameo in the rise of skywalker.
Alex wonders how he doesn't know what pop culture movies even exist - then goes on to reference a pike jump in gymnastics, and look up the definition of 'NPC.' I find this really incredible for a person of his age, but can only imagine it has something to do with living in the real world for the majority of his childhood and then pursuing law school before becoming the YT personality he is now. What a weirdo 😆😆🤣🤣💖💖
At the end when Keyes and Milly were looking at each other across the street, I loved that they had Keyes wearing a blue shirt. Wrapped things up with a nice neat blue bow.
I thought this movie came out two years before it actually came out. I was so happy to see that it finally did reach DVD and Blu-ray. We need more movies like this. 💕
It was supposed to be out summer 2020 (july 4th weekend) and was one of the first announced delays when covid hit. Disney/Fox kept the faith on it and it paid off. I remember seeing the early footage at New York comic-con in 2019.
Fun Fact: The movie was in production during the Fox acquisition by Disney. After the acquisition was finalized, this movie was delayed to add the MCU and Star Wars references. Aslo, Because of his success with Freeguy, Ryan Reynolds got Sawn Levy to join him on writing and directing Deadpool 3.
The boss is played by Taika Waititi, which you might also know as Korg from the Thor movies (He also directed some of those). The song that you recognized as being used in a horror film (“make your own kind of music”) was actually used in season 2 of “Lost”, in an episode introducing the bunker (Great scene by the way!).
@@fu6817gotta at least give him the credit he deserves for giving life to that career in the first place. Thor 1/2 were garbage compared to ragnarok, and most people i've talked with didn't like Thor's character portrayal in the movies until Ragnarok
@@TheJamesV2009 like raif said, popularity says nothing about quality. thor 1 was a really good movie. "dark world" was super garbage. and ragnarok was also pretty good. it had massive issues, cause taika waititi is an imbecile, but it was pretty good. then they let him of his leash, and he ruined everything. ragnarok was good because they used him like a search dog. they held tight onto his leash, and let him lead the way while they ensured he didn't stray and fuck everything up. everything after that they let go of the leash, and the result is clear. also valkyrie should never have been even welcomed back to asgard, let alone made ruler. the traitorous slaver only got all that because she was fucking taika waititi. gotta love hollywood.
I'm not sure what else the song was in, but "Make Your Own Kind of Music" was in the show LOST Also, Jodie Comer (Millie) is the one singing the "Fantasy" cover. Ryan Reynolds made her do it lol. I wish there was a full version of it
Taika Watiti is a legend!! Plays Korg in the Thor films. And directed Thor: Ragnarok and Love & Thunder. Plus his work on What We Do in the Shadows! A movie I definitely recommend for you Alex!
Oh, you really need to watch the Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy, if you haven't already, Alex! 1. Shaun of the Dead 2. Hot Fuzz 3. The Worlds End Aboslute class movies that you will definetly enjoy :D
I don't think i've ever seen a bad movie with Ryan in it. He is my absolute favorite actor of all time. And, I LOVE that he plays "himself" in so many movies. And to answer your question - I would pick him before Gosling every day of the week!!
I love this film so much. It’s my go to when I need cheering up. Love the soundtrack, the references to other games. Lightsaber for heavens sake. Took my son to see this at the cinema and seriously the whole place was just laughing and having a great time at a great film. What more do you want?! And it got loads of award nominations/wins including (believe it or not) Best American film in China… yup, really. They loved it. I love this film. It’s breath of fresh air when everything is so heavy…
Shawn Levy, the guy who directed Free Guy, also directed many Stranger Things episodes, The Adam Project, Real Steel, Crater, and the upcoming Deadpool 3 with Wolverine
I love the bits you don't notice at the first viewing, like the car that changes colour behind Guy and his friend just after the coffee conversation...
Antwan is of course the legend himself, Taika Waititi, Director of Thor Ragnarok and Love&Thunder, Korg in those movies, director and screenplayer of masterpieces like Jo Jo Rabbit, What we do in the shadows and Hunt for wilder people, actor in a lot of movies and tv shows , and much much more. It was hilarious tp see someone do not recognise him in this movie 😂 I love absolutely everything about this movie, but "catchphrase" is my favorite thing ever 😂😂😂😂
Another fun fact: The slow version of Fantasy that's playing while on the bridge was actually sung by Jodie Comer, the girl who plays Milly Rusk AKA Molotovgirl.
If you notice a recurring musical score in this movie, that's from Paperman, the Disney animated short, which had the same composer, Christophe Beck. I see a similarity between that short and Free Guy, especially near the end, with Reynolds saying, "I'm just a love letter, but someone out there is the author."
I feel like Ryan Reynolds always plays a version of himself, but I always find it entertaining. One of my favorite roles of his is the movie Just Friends. To me it’s classic Ryan Reynolds comedy, I think you would enjoy!
20:13 "If he knows how??" It's actually very clever writing that EVERYthing in-game follows game code rules. This is the mistake that the McConaughey movie Serenity made, not following its own rules of its premise so the reveal later made earlier things make no sense. There would be no command in a game like this to allow characters to kiss. And SHE still thinks BSG is another player, as does everyone else in the real world (a player using an NPC skin that isnt even available, therefore a hack). So she's assuming maybe HE knows of a hidden command that would allow a kiss action in game. But she herself cannot initiate as she doesnt know the command. And yeah, she's falling for him in a player v player virtual way. So.... "okay, if you know how to" makes perfect sense from a game code perspective.
I usually gravitate towards older movies, but when this movie came out and I saw it in theaters I laughed and cried and gasped and smiled so hard my face hurt and it's in my top favorite movies of all time. one of the literal best movies ever made period.
At 2019 New York Comic Con everyone got a text that there was a surprise panel with Ryan Reynolds, fist coke, first served. You never saw so many people haul ass to the main stage. It was to introduce Free Guy. We previewed the first 10 minutes of the move, which still wasn’t finished. Ryan Reynolds, Joe Keery and Taika Waititi (Antwan) all there. I’m amazed you haven’t run into Taika Waititi before, he’s super talented. He created What We Do In The Shadows and Jojo Rabbit. He directed Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder.
If you don't know, there are a few hidden cameos, including Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, and Tina Fey. This film was a lot of fun. I believe anyone who plays video games would enjoy it.
Another Ryan Reynolds movie you should check out is Hitman's Bodyguard, it stars Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson. Action movie with Ryan and Sam's humor mixed in, it's a win win
I totally dig this movie. Enjoyed the hell outta it! And yes, Ryan Reynolds is always Ryan Reynolds. Like a Sam Jackson or a Jeff Goldblum. The opposite acting style of a Gary Oldman. Who you can get half way through the movie and be thinkin, “holy💩, that’s Dracula, Commissioner Gordon, Zorg etc…?!!!”
The song that plays for the emotional/kiss scenes is from Paperman. It’s a short animated film from Disney. I get emotional everytime I hear it. It’s so sweet.
The guy with the video clip at the beginning who got shot by Milly in the game was voiced by Hugh Jackman aka Logan from X Men, also the robber who guy killed at the beginning was voiced by The Rock
alex liking henleys and wanting to work corny hollywood lines into his vocabulary only further reinforces the kind of guy i already thought he is lol. i might make a cinema sins-esque channel one day just reacting to your reacts
Alex, you are right about the shirt being "grandma's shirt"; my husband said the same thing about it when I looked at one JCPenney and the girls in my 7th & 8th grade classes wore that pattern on their skirt and blazer outfits back in 1967. So, yeah, "grandma's shirt." I still like it.
I love watching you watching movies I've seen and enjoyed, I'm so happy knowing others do this because first time I co-watched I thought I were creepy. 😅 Hugs from Sweden.
Alex the villain of the movie is Taika Waititi. He was the Director of Thor Ragnarok and Thor Love and Thunder. Plus he does the voice of Korg the rock alien from the Thor movies.
My favourite part about this movie is that they incorporated the soundtrack from the short film “Paperman” that featured before wreck it wralph, and this soundtrack continuesly plays throughout the movie in scenes between Guy and Millie that are romantic. That short film has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard, and brings me to tears every single time so it was a nice surprise to hear it again in this movie :)
This is such a funny Movie, just FYI The boss is Taika Waititi he is the Director of Thor Ragnarok, and Love and Thunder, also he plays Korg, one of the funniest ever
I did not have high expectations for this movie before it came out at all, but I figured Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi and Joe Keery were worth seeing it and I absolutely loved this movie, seeing that Chris Evans cameo in the cinema is one of my fave movie moments ever, I was completely unprepared. Antwan is such a dick, but I love watching him being a dick. I'm total Taika trash at this point (especially now the teaser for ofmd s2 dropped 😅) and I've been so since I saw Thor: Ragnarok back in 2017 (which he directed and played Korg in). If you haven't seen Jojo Rabbit it's a must-see, it's been my favourite movie since 2019 and What we do in the shadows is hilarious, too.
The park scenes were filmed right outside my office. On the Boston waterfront on the back side of Moakley Courthouse. A few other places in Boston are used and also some spots in Worcester. The city also had to be reproduced exactly in a 3D model for some of the shots.
This is the type of movie where actors come together as friends. To hell w/ the copyright and cross roles/contracts or who we pi$$ off... lets just do what we love doing, working on a great movie. And it really shows in this project.
not me just now realizing that when Millie says "That's a lightsaber dude" she's saying Walker's line from the Adam Project 😭 THERE'S SO MANY RANDOM REFERENCES
One of my favorite movies. Glad you had so much fun watching it. Your reactions are priceless. Check out The Adam Project, another Ryan Reynolds movie. I've watched both of these many times.
Right after this movie released on Blu-ray, I took it over to my mother's so she could watch it with me as we both enjoy Ryan Reynolds movies. Mom enjoyed it so much, she immediately re-watched it after the credits because of all the little bits and easter eggs in the background. (Look at the shop windows' texts if you don't catch what I'm saying.) Months later, she asked me to bring it over because she wants to watch it again. This is the first time in many years that she's made such a request.
One small detail I love is when he asks for a Frappuccino for the first time and everyone in the coffee shop freaks out, theres a tank outside behind him and its barrel turns to point at him like its gonna shoot him for that order. Then, when he gets his usual the tank moves on. Love that background detail😂
16:55 The song is "Make your own kind of music" by Cass Elliott or Mama Cass. You probably recognize it from the cold open of the second season of Lost if you've seen it. Idk it might be in Dexter too, perfect song to juxtapose ominous happy times.
Ironically, I had the same thought about that joke that never got told. Even tried looking it up to see if it existed; it doesn't. Also, the irony in letting him have the current code to Free City is that since Free City 2 was intended to be a replacement, it would lose its AI coding and without Millie (who built the initial A.I.), they wouldn't be able to fix it.
First time asking Alex to watch HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. It's directed by Taika Waititi and it's one of my favorite comedy movies, you would LOVE it!
Love Pleasantville. "If you have to ask, you'll never know. If you know, you need only ask.” - Helena Ravenclaw Though very different games the premise reminds me of the movie Tron (1982). 4 TV series I think you'd love though no clue where or if they are currently being played. Future Man (2017-2020); Todd and the Book of Pure Evil (2010); The Wizards of Aus (2016); Zapped (2016-2018). O love Bubblegum ice cream and chocolate mint chip ice cream.
18:38 - Dude made outta rocks, best buddy to Thor, named Korg. Director to Ragnarok & Love and Thunder. (Also starred with Ryan in Green Lantern, he still had black hair then)
Waiting is probably one of the raunchiest a Ryan Reynolds movies out there and it's funny af! Just friends is one of my ask tons faves! Would love to see you do more Ryan Reynolds movies. The Proposal with Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Betty White, and Craig T Nelson. Super funny!

It was supposed to be out summer 2020 (july 4th weekend) and was one of the first announced delays when covid hit. Disney/Fox kept the faith on it and it paid off.
I remember seeing the early footage at New York comic-con in 2019.
Watch grandmas boy
Reese Witherspoon and William H Macy were on point too
Haha yeah it was delayed so long Fox became Disney in that time
Right it was so trippy seeing trailers for it again after more than a year
Fun Fact: The movie was in production during the Fox acquisition by Disney. After the acquisition was finalized, this movie was delayed to add the MCU and Star Wars references.
Aslo, Because of his success with Freeguy, Ryan Reynolds got Sawn Levy to join him on writing and directing Deadpool 3.
Antwan is Taika Waititi, also known as Korg and the director of Thor: Ragnarok
The boss is played by Taika Waititi, which you might also know as Korg from the Thor movies (He also directed some of those).
The song that you recognized as being used in a horror film (“make your own kind of music”) was actually used in season 2 of “Lost”, in an episode introducing the bunker (Great scene by the way!).
Taika Waititi's role in this so good. He's an absolute legend.
Legend who fucked up Thor's movie career.
You're both right.
@@fu6817gotta at least give him the credit he deserves for giving life to that career in the first place. Thor 1/2 were garbage compared to ragnarok, and most people i've talked with didn't like Thor's character portrayal in the movies until Ragnarok
@@TheJamesV2009 Most people like flashy colored garbage, what else is new.
@@TheJamesV2009 like raif said, popularity says nothing about quality.
thor 1 was a really good movie. "dark world" was super garbage.
and ragnarok was also pretty good. it had massive issues, cause taika waititi is an imbecile, but it was pretty good.
then they let him of his leash, and he ruined everything.
ragnarok was good because they used him like a search dog. they held tight onto his leash, and let him lead the way while they ensured he didn't stray and fuck everything up.
everything after that they let go of the leash, and the result is clear.
also valkyrie should never have been even welcomed back to asgard, let alone made ruler. the traitorous slaver only got all that because she was fucking taika waititi. gotta love hollywood.
I'm not sure what else the song was in, but "Make Your Own Kind of Music" was in the show LOST
Also, Jodie Comer (Millie) is the one singing the "Fantasy" cover. Ryan Reynolds made her do it lol. I wish there was a full version of it
It was in Dexter season 8.
Yeah, Lost is definitely where I know it from. It was a pretty iconic scene at the time.
There was also a pretty great SNL sketch about using that song in an edgy trailer.
Taika Watiti is a legend!! Plays Korg in the Thor films. And directed Thor: Ragnarok and Love & Thunder. Plus his work on What We Do in the Shadows! A movie I definitely recommend for you Alex!
And Jojo Rabbit, I absolutely adore Jojo Rabbit!
That Thor movie was utter shit and Watitis performance too.
"How would you guys describe this dude?". I'd describe him as one of the great directors/writers of this generation :D
Oh, you really need to watch the Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy, if you haven't already, Alex!
1. Shaun of the Dead
2. Hot Fuzz
3. The Worlds End
Aboslute class movies that you will definetly enjoy :D
I don't think i've ever seen a bad movie with Ryan in it. He is my absolute favorite actor of all time. And, I LOVE that he plays "himself" in so many movies. And to answer your question - I would pick him before Gosling every day of the week!!
Green Lantern is bad!
@@brozy5720shhh we don’t speak of that one
@@brozy5720 I like Green Lantern. I've never understood the hate it gets.
Blade trinity
Taika Waititi is the director and the “bad guy” in the movie. If you liked this, try JoJo Rabbit by him as well!
I love this film so much. It’s my go to when I need cheering up. Love the soundtrack, the references to other games. Lightsaber for heavens sake.
Took my son to see this at the cinema and seriously the whole place was just laughing and having a great time at a great film. What more do you want?! And it got loads of award nominations/wins including (believe it or not) Best American film in China… yup, really. They loved it.
I love this film. It’s breath of fresh air when everything is so heavy…
Shawn Levy, the guy who directed Free Guy, also directed many Stranger Things episodes, The Adam Project, Real Steel, Crater, and the upcoming Deadpool 3 with Wolverine
I love the bits you don't notice at the first viewing, like the car that changes colour behind Guy and his friend just after the coffee conversation...
Antwan is of course the legend himself, Taika Waititi, Director of Thor Ragnarok and Love&Thunder, Korg in those movies, director and screenplayer of masterpieces like Jo Jo Rabbit, What we do in the shadows and Hunt for wilder people, actor in a lot of movies and tv shows , and much much more.
It was hilarious tp see someone do not recognise him in this movie 😂
I love absolutely everything about this movie, but "catchphrase" is my favorite thing ever 😂😂😂😂
Another fun fact: The slow version of Fantasy that's playing while on the bridge was actually sung by Jodie Comer, the girl who plays Milly Rusk AKA Molotovgirl.
If you notice a recurring musical score in this movie, that's from Paperman, the Disney animated short, which had the same composer, Christophe Beck. I see a similarity between that short and Free Guy, especially near the end, with Reynolds saying, "I'm just a love letter, but someone out there is the author."
As soon as I heard the music, I was saying "Hey, that music is from 'Paperman'!" - I love that animated short. 🙂
I feel like Ryan Reynolds always plays a version of himself, but I always find it entertaining. One of my favorite roles of his is the movie Just Friends. To me it’s classic Ryan Reynolds comedy, I think you would enjoy!
I was so pleasantly surprised going into this movie. Absolutely loved it! Definitely in my pickmeup movie roster. Did you notice The Rock cameo?
Don't forget the Hugh Jackman cameo as well :)
The Rock is in it? Where? When? How have I not seen this? 😱
20:13
"If he knows how??"
It's actually very clever writing that EVERYthing in-game follows game code rules. This is the mistake that the McConaughey movie Serenity made, not following its own rules of its premise so the reveal later made earlier things make no sense.
There would be no command in a game like this to allow characters to kiss. And SHE still thinks BSG is another player, as does everyone else in the real world (a player using an NPC skin that isnt even available, therefore a hack). So she's assuming maybe HE knows of a hidden command that would allow a kiss action in game. But she herself cannot initiate as she doesnt know the command. And yeah, she's falling for him in a player v player virtual way.
So.... "okay, if you know how to" makes perfect sense from a game code perspective.
YES! This is unironically in my top 5 movies
I usually gravitate towards older movies, but when this movie came out and I saw it in theaters I laughed and cried and gasped and smiled so hard my face hurt and it's in my top favorite movies of all time. one of the literal best movies ever made period.
14:25 spotting Jack was such a clutch moment. These cross platform connections are the best. Jack was great in this movie 😅
I love that the actors for the main characters also play their video game counterparts
At 2019 New York Comic Con everyone got a text that there was a surprise panel with Ryan Reynolds, fist coke, first served. You never saw so many people haul ass to the main stage. It was to introduce Free Guy. We previewed the first 10 minutes of the move, which still wasn’t finished. Ryan Reynolds, Joe Keery and Taika Waititi (Antwan) all there. I’m amazed you haven’t run into Taika Waititi before, he’s super talented. He created What We Do In The Shadows and Jojo Rabbit. He directed Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder.
If you don't know, there are a few hidden cameos, including Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, and Tina Fey.
This film was a lot of fun. I believe anyone who plays video games would enjoy it.
John Krasinski (Jim from The Office US) too
Another Ryan Reynolds movie you should check out is Hitman's Bodyguard, it stars Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson. Action movie with Ryan and Sam's humor mixed in, it's a win win
I totally dig this movie. Enjoyed the hell outta it!
And yes, Ryan Reynolds is always Ryan Reynolds. Like a Sam Jackson or a Jeff Goldblum. The opposite acting style of a Gary Oldman. Who you can get half way through the movie and be thinkin, “holy💩, that’s Dracula, Commissioner Gordon, Zorg etc…?!!!”
The song that plays for the emotional/kiss scenes is from Paperman. It’s a short animated film from Disney. I get emotional everytime I hear it. It’s so sweet.
I randomly decided to watch this movie on a whim and was so unexpectedly surprised. It was so good!
The guy with the video clip at the beginning who got shot by Milly in the game was voiced by Hugh Jackman aka Logan from X Men, also the robber who guy killed at the beginning was voiced by The Rock
alex liking henleys and wanting to work corny hollywood lines into his vocabulary only further reinforces the kind of guy i already thought he is lol. i might make a cinema sins-esque channel one day just reacting to your reacts
Alex, you are right about the shirt being "grandma's shirt"; my husband said the same thing about it when I looked at one JCPenney and the girls in my 7th & 8th grade classes wore that pattern on their skirt and blazer outfits back in 1967. So, yeah, "grandma's shirt." I still like it.
Great reaction! I love Ryan Reynolds movies. Next up you should check him out in Hitman’s Bodyguard. He co stars with Samuel L. Jackson. Great movie.
Yesss also R.I.P.D. With Jeff Bridges 👌🏻
Guy did a really good job playing Ryan Reynolds in this movie.
It was fun watching this movie again with you Alex. Love Reynolds. He’s awesome. 😂❤
A lot of other reactors and I are with you on the love scene at the end. You are just waiting for a car or bus to take them out.
But they have plot armour, they're in a movie afterall... (Really, is there no hint anywhere about this inception-like recursion? Missed chance...)
I love watching you watching movies I've seen and enjoyed, I'm so happy knowing others do this because first time I co-watched I thought I were creepy. 😅 Hugs from Sweden.
Alex the villain of the movie is Taika Waititi. He was the Director of Thor Ragnarok and Thor Love and Thunder. Plus he does the voice of Korg the rock alien from the Thor movies.
I love this movie so much. I cant wait for what Shawn Levy will do with Deadpool 3
My favourite part about this movie is that they incorporated the soundtrack from the short film “Paperman” that featured before wreck it wralph, and this soundtrack continuesly plays throughout the movie in scenes between Guy and Millie that are romantic. That short film has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard, and brings me to tears every single time so it was a nice surprise to hear it again in this movie :)
I loved this movie. Everything about it was great.
I personally don't like it. I guess it's a "fun" movie. But I just hate the plot. I can't get over it
Alex talking about playing Grand Theft Auto sounds like "Yeah I smoked once, but I didn't inhale."
That’s Taki Waititi as the Game Dev and as Cinemawins would say “Korg is always a win”
*Taika Waititi
I know, autocorrect got me
Awesome video as always mate! Also a fun fact, Taika Waititi the guy who played Antwan is also Korg 👍
Weird seeing someone not recognize Taika as Antwan 😂 Love these really blind reactions
This is such a funny Movie, just FYI The boss is Taika Waititi he is the Director of Thor Ragnarok, and Love and Thunder, also he plays Korg, one of the funniest ever
I did not have high expectations for this movie before it came out at all, but I figured Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi and Joe Keery were worth seeing it and I absolutely loved this movie, seeing that Chris Evans cameo in the cinema is one of my fave movie moments ever, I was completely unprepared.
Antwan is such a dick, but I love watching him being a dick. I'm total Taika trash at this point (especially now the teaser for ofmd s2 dropped 😅) and I've been so since I saw Thor: Ragnarok back in 2017 (which he directed and played Korg in). If you haven't seen Jojo Rabbit it's a must-see, it's been my favourite movie since 2019 and What we do in the shadows is hilarious, too.
The park scenes were filmed right outside my office. On the Boston waterfront on the back side of Moakley Courthouse.
A few other places in Boston are used and also some spots in Worcester. The city also had to be reproduced exactly in a 3D model for some of the shots.
You’d love watching Korg and Deadpool react to the trailer to Free Guy. Have to wait till after you watch deadpool 2 before you watch it though.
This is the type of movie where actors come together as friends. To hell w/ the copyright and cross roles/contracts or who we pi$$ off... lets just do what we love doing, working on a great movie. And it really shows in this project.
Adam Project NEEDS to be next. Ryan Reynolds is phenomenal in it
not me just now realizing that when Millie says "That's a lightsaber dude" she's saying Walker's line from the Adam Project 😭 THERE'S SO MANY RANDOM REFERENCES
One of my favorite movies. Glad you had so much fun watching it. Your reactions are priceless. Check out The Adam Project, another Ryan Reynolds movie. I've watched both of these many times.
Right after this movie released on Blu-ray, I took it over to my mother's so she could watch it with me as we both enjoy Ryan Reynolds movies. Mom enjoyed it so much, she immediately re-watched it after the credits because of all the little bits and easter eggs in the background. (Look at the shop windows' texts if you don't catch what I'm saying.)
Months later, she asked me to bring it over because she wants to watch it again. This is the first time in many years that she's made such a request.
I've been waiting for this!!! Free Guy is an awesome movie. However Now You See Me better be next😂
Yes, Now you see me is an absolute must watch!!
One small detail I love is when he asks for a Frappuccino for the first time and everyone in the coffee shop freaks out, theres a tank outside behind him and its barrel turns to point at him like its gonna shoot him for that order. Then, when he gets his usual the tank moves on. Love that background detail😂
Chris Evans showing up was the best part!
16:55 The song is "Make your own kind of music" by Cass Elliott or Mama Cass. You probably recognize it from the cold open of the second season of Lost if you've seen it. Idk it might be in Dexter too, perfect song to juxtapose ominous happy times.
How did she know a kiss button!?
Throughout the entire scene involving the destruction of the servers, Antwan decided to leave the visual effects server perfectly intact
Love your enthusiasm! Keep up the great work!! 😁
Fun fact about the "if you know how to, go for it". This is a game and as you've realized close to GTA. There's no buttons for kissing. So yeah
Your energy is unmatched, never stop!
So good with Steve's cameo completed by Hugh Jackman and The Rock's voice cameos.
Who else thinks Alex should watch baby driver?
YESSS
Ironically, I had the same thought about that joke that never got told. Even tried looking it up to see if it existed; it doesn't.
Also, the irony in letting him have the current code to Free City is that since Free City 2 was intended to be a replacement, it would lose its AI coding and without Millie (who built the initial A.I.), they wouldn't be able to fix it.
19:19 Bubble gum ice cream is delicious. 🖕
I literally went to comment this same time stamp because it was so perfect and you did four hours ago and this isn’t even a new video
First time asking Alex to watch HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. It's directed by Taika Waititi and it's one of my favorite comedy movies, you would LOVE it!
44 seconds ago is insane
You must be new to youtube😂
@@ManG1aze your proof is what exactly?
@@RegenVR what? Lmao
@@ManG1aze im asking what your proof that im new is
@@RegenVR just a joke💜
16:55 The tv show Lost. Desmond was listening to it before Locke blew up the hatch!
Love Pleasantville. "If you have to ask, you'll never know. If you know, you need only ask.” - Helena Ravenclaw
Though very different games the premise reminds me of the movie Tron (1982).
4 TV series I think you'd love though no clue where or if they are currently being played. Future Man (2017-2020); Todd and the Book of Pure Evil (2010);
The Wizards of Aus (2016); Zapped (2016-2018).
O love Bubblegum ice cream and chocolate mint chip ice cream.
18:38 - Dude made outta rocks, best buddy to Thor, named Korg. Director to Ragnarok & Love and Thunder. (Also starred with Ryan in Green Lantern, he still had black hair then)
Waiting is probably one of the raunchiest a Ryan Reynolds movies out there and it's funny af! Just friends is one of my ask tons faves! Would love to see you do more Ryan Reynolds movies. The Proposal with Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Betty White, and Craig T Nelson. Super funny!
