BABYLON (2022) | 4K MOVIE REVIEW | PARAMOUNT ** YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE ROARING 20S LIKE THIS! 

I watch it on theater and I was blown away with Babylon. For me personally... now it became my favorite Damian Chazzle film, before that is Whiplash and now is Babylon. Is an epic drama! A 3 hours of bumpy ride and romantic nightmare. BABYLON is totally wild and chaos. A chronicles the rise and fall of multiple characters during Hollywood's transition from silent film to sound films in the late 1920s. I love it so much and I can't wait for the 4K steelbook.

The scene where Margot had to do a talkie scene for the first time with a bunch of takes was a phenomenal part

I saw this back in theaters on December 28th 2022 in theaters and it was such a blast, I enjoyed it from start to finish. And I’m gonna watch this movie again tonight because I bought it on digital.

Loved this movie. Audacious, ambitious, outrageous, extremely entertaining and at times quite brilliant. Never a dull moment. Watched it on Paramount +

It’s a rough watch but I enjoyed it. The performances are fantastic..besides Harley Quinn character being in it. Robbie sounded like Quinn throughout the movie to me. She just couldn’t shake that voice. If edited with some scenes cut out, I’d add it into my collection. I liked it-but I cannot add it to my collection.

Im interested in this one. Probably gonna pick it up. Thanks for the review

I loved this one and can't wait to pick up the 4K. That ending is electric and I can't wait to experience it again in UHD

Also. Shoutout Ethan Suplee as Tobeys body guard at the end

Dude, please learn your terminology. A brand new movie is not a 4K restoration. The film is almost still wet. What did they have to restore. It's a 4K transfer. It's a native 4K Digital Intermediate, but it is NOT a 4K restoration.

Seen this in theaters and loved it. It was so grand. This was as much an experience in theater as Avatar 2 was. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the film. It was really long and because the 3rd act kinda fell apart, it felt like it. The first two hours flew by though. I plan to buy it on 4K but not till there is a price drop under $20.

I saw it in theaters and I absolutely loved it

good review

I feel like a good way to describe this movie without any details about the movie would be to compare it’s vulgarity and craziness to the Wolf of Wall Street and it’s atmosphere to The Great Gatsby. As someone who studied film production and work in the industry I absolutely loved this film but can also understand why some may dislike it

Ken, the movie IS based on real people from the silent film era. Margot Robbie is a stand in for Clara Bow. And Pitt is a stand-in for some dude whose name I don’t remember but who was a huge silent star who couldn’t cut it when sound was introduced. He fictionalized their stories a bit but it’s definitely based on two real people. I agree with you that the movie is beautifully shot…and too long.

I watched it on Paramount +...liked it a lot but awfully long.

Hi! Could you see any difference with the normal 1080p Blu Ray? I have that one but I'm planning to upgrade and get this one.

It has some very accurate portrayals of Hollywood in that era. There was a guy who sold the actors drugs while on set, even the guy who was peed on was a fictional version of a true story, however she didn't have an overdose, she was crushed to death by his weight and yes people did try to cover it up. The singing in the rain scene, is a lovely recreation of a scene from the film Hollywood Revue of 1929, which was a nice touch, i really enjoyed Babylon, great performances from everyone and a great story. I loved it.

I really enjoyed it! The ending was a bit weak, but still think about it overall, a sign of a good movie.

wanted to let you know vinegar 4ks for this month are shipping

Yeah saw it theaters and I thought it was great, messy, but great it's Damien Chazelle's Magnolia, but disguised as Boogie Nights

I saw it in the theater. very long. very entertaining. very odd/crazy beginning. get past that and you're good. I'm in love with Margot Robbie. lol

LOVE THE MOVIE. Saw it 4 times in theatre

Hey Ken, we really need to get your official top 10 movie list. Seems like you have 100 movies that are in your top 10 list😂😂😅

I did see it in the theatre! I like it for the most part! I do have a few issues with it. I wish they wouldn't have cut out my favorite part from the trailer! Brad Pitt's dance and yell when he falls off the balcony is cut down! The trailer version is hilarious!!

Regarding your comments about spending too much time with the characters and not really caring for them when you're meant to, I think that was one of the points of the movie. As film changed throughout the years, the audience and studios stopped caring about the stars of the past and had all moved on to the next big thing.

I love Babylon. It's to long, and it was very much mis-marketed. I agree in Margo but disagree on Brad. Look at Bullet Train. I love everything the movie does, it just needed to be tightened up. Agree, 2.5 hours would've been enough. I'll definitely get this steelbook.

Is that $62M domestic or full? Does it include foreign receipts? I ask because a lot of movies appear to not make money, but when they total all the receipts including overseas box office, it does much better. I've not seen it yet but it seems that it's a big movie on spectacle, and those movies tend to do well in Europe, where the emphasis on the spoken word isn't as important as the images on the screen. At any rate, I'm really looking forward to seeing it it, and also plan on getting the 4k steelbook.

General Question: What do most people do with the information card that’s loose on steel books? How are people keeping them? They are such a pain…

What about clue on 4k

I saw the trailer for this probably a dozen times in the theater. I never had any interest in seeing it because the trailer gave me no impression whatsoever what the movie was supposed to be about.

Will you be reviewing red eye on 4k re release ?

Felt like a Tarantino movie through out - at least an impression of one. If Tarantino had made this his tenth and final movie, would that have been that big of a surprise given the subject matter?

I'm getting annoyed by these 4K steelbook prices. Why is this 35 bucks when lionsgate beautiful steelbooks are 22?

I thought this was great kinda felt like a cross between wolf of Wall Street and once upon a time in Hollywood

My wife and I MOSTLY enjoyed it...they could have taken out some gross parts w/out changing the movie. BTW this movie was based on some movie stars at the time w/out naming them. I think THIS WILL be a cult classic as time goes by:). 3.75 out of 5 stars

That steelbook looks BAD A$S!

This movie has the beauty of his past movies, but little of the focus. That being, I still enjoyed how it basically said "fuck it" and swung for the fences.

3 hours like the avatar 2 Ken I don't think I have the attention span to watch that movie LoL 😂

Hello- why when there's nothing else to bitch and moan about a film people will mention how long it is??? i guess TV has in fact destroyed our attention spans.

How do you review a movie when you didn't even watch it in one sitting? Expecting a movies third act to land after you just amputated the emotion, pacing, and momentum of the first act by pausing it for 24 hours and coming back to it is just not realistic and you're ruining the experience for yourself. The movie was designed as a three hour experience where the third act pays off the emotion you're feeling from the first act. Do you think it's a coincidence that your issue is with the second half, after you had paused it and waited a day later to watch it? I get triggered by the modern audiences constantly, constantly, constantly whining about 3 hour films and their viewing habits because masterpieces like Lawrence of Arabia, Once Upon a Time in America, Yi Yi, Andrei Rublev, etc. won't be able to exist anymore with the media constantly slandering long run-times anytime a movie is over 2 hours. The problem is our attention spans because of social media. The excuse of not having enough time is non-sense. If your hobby is movies, you can schedule an extra hour in for the occasional 3 hour movie.

Sh** on, pis** on, first five minutes, then projectile vomiting. And the producers wonder why if fizzled at box office.

Babylon movie, l thought it was a pile of elephant dung

I watch Babylon in the theaters and it's Complete Garbage

I love just about every single film Brad Pitt has done and I love Margot Robbie. Great actors in this. But!…. This movie sucks! Pointless and the music is So Annoying! Coming in every 2 minutes. Exhausting! It’s all over the place. Had to stop it at 25 minutes. I hate it! Lol

I'm a fan of Damien Chazelle poor work, however I'm not interested in seeing an elephant take a dump on someone on camera and someone getting pissed on as well as people throwing up. In addition, the ending sounds extremely bleak. I want to be entertained not grossed outer depressed when I watch a movie, and I am someone who absolutely loves this period in Hollywood.

I didn't like this one. I felt like the movie was trying too hard to be The Wolf of Wall Street.

It's unwatchable. I'm so confused here.

Sorry, I do not care for my "entertainment" to include scenes of sh-t, pi-s, or people vomiting. I don't consider that entertaining at all.

On my top 5 of the worst movies I have seen
