Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4671875, member: 974"] [B]RRR (2022) [/B]An Indian epic about freedom fighters during brutal English rule in the 1920s. This movie goes from the absurd to the ridiculously absurd. Very sylish. Well shot. Way too long long at over three hours. The special effects (especially the animals) are unconvincing. But overall this is first class film making on a monumental canvas. The story and plot would be pretty thoughtful if the material wasn't treated in surreal fashion. There are dance scenes on a scale that puts Busby Berkeley to shame intertwined with the killing of children and massive riots with hundreds of extras. The fight scenes make John Wick seem realistic. Did I mention way to long? At two hours this would have been fantastic escapism. It's lapses into indulgence which kills the viewing experience. Two stars. [/QUOTE]
