movie trailer thread?

It’s a Guy Ritchie film so you have already seen it for all intents and purposes. He’s the most mediocre successful director of all time.

IOW, it'll likely have action and humor and be an enjoyable watch.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I actually enjoy Bay movies here and there.

They can be entertaining, sure. I wouldn't call him a better director than Ritchie.

Both mediocre. Ritchie is so formulaic. Every movie is the same to me.

Okay. There are certainly some elements that show up in most of his movies, but they aren't all the same to me.

Aladdin and The Covenant are the same as The Gentlemen?

Or Snatch? Sherlock Holmes? He has a certain approach at times, but it works for me and nobody else makes movies like that.

 

[ZooCougar]

No idea. I wouldn’t waste my time with either of those films.

The ones I have seen are about as formulaic as a Statham movie.

Some of them are Statham movies, so there's that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That just reminded me that Statham returned to the Ritchie-verse after a long absence in "Wrath of Man." That absolutely DOES NOT follow the formula, would suggest @ZooCougar watch that one to shatter this notion. For that matter an earlier Ritchie/Statham movie "Revolver" was outside the norm as well.

There you go, I have disproved the theory, what's my prize?

Pass

Pass

So you won't see any of his movies that break the mold, and then keep insisting all his movies are formulaic? Interesting.

I will never like his movies. Not my thing.

That's cool. I've never liked Tarantino, I'm in the minority there. But I think several posters have at least debunked that all of Ritchie's movies are the same.

Well, comparing Tarantino to Ritchie is like comparing a Michelin restaurant to a McDonald’s.

I'm mixed on him. Reservoir Dogs was very good. Once upon a time in Hollywood was really good. I loved Pulp Fiction when it came out, on rewatch it was overrated. Kill Bill? Stinks.

I'll take Ritchie over Tarantino all day, every day. While I won't call Ritchie a great director, I think Tarantino is probably the most overrated of my lifetime. All style, no substance, yet he somehow has a great reputation.

You're arguing with someone who said "MCU is a moron test", yet appears to have seen many of them and likes quite a few. So he apparently self-identifies as a moron.

Insanity.

Not everything Tarantino does is great but he has made classics. Nothing Ritchie has done equals Tarantino’s worst.

It’s kind of hard to not see them if you have kids.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Seriously, Tarantino has the total Emperor's New Clothes syndrome going on as far as I'm concerned. Vastly overrated.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How about an actual trailer? Here's the latest for Fallout, looks interesting.

Snatch is better than anything he's done.

That’s got some potential.

They are also making a Warhammer 40K show which will be something…

Oh stop. The dialogue in his movies are second only to Scorcese. You’re nuts.
