The Bikeriders Movie Review - It's Not What You Think 

I'm going to go see it again in 30 minutes😊

Saw it twice now.

Well that's the dilemma. Ppl complain about Hollywood but never go support the actual movies they claim they want to see

@@mania4270 isn’t it frustrating! Like horizon American saga is actually guaranteed to bomb at the box office but at least it feels like a fresh and honest attempt at a film for western fans! I kinda get the feeling it’s gonna be slow and boring regardless but I wanna support the effort anyway!

@@mania4270 remember The Last Duel from 2021. That movie was a guaranteed bomb from the get go but it’s the kind of mature movie we don’t make anymore! If it came out around 2000-2005 it would’ve been a hit

Def one of my favorite scenes too. Just goes to show how unfit he was for the Vandals. He's pretty much the antithesis to Benny.

I hope she likes it.

He’s just so dreamy

I could not tell what accent Tom was doing.

What the hell is going on with his voice? Venom is laughable.

From the trailers it sounds like he's imitating Brando"s character Johnny in the Wild One almost to the point of parody

@@kingswing00 Yep, and he even gets his inspiration to start the club in the movie while watching THE WILD ONE on TV.

Best lesson said in the film: "No matter what you give to a thing, no matter how much you give everything you got, it's just gonna do what it's gonna do".

That would be fine if the character was even remotely interesting. He comes off like a dude that has almost nothing going on upstairs. Just hearing the motorcycles revving in his head while he sits in a lawn chair.

Absolutely .. it's been nearly 40yrs since my biker days, met similar kinda characters done the time and given up tobacco, Still love the Ale and festivals though ... lol

No

Yeah basically lol

@bilalrashad6636 eeehh thank you very much.

people smoking in cinema is how you know they’re cool (good dialogue and gravitas is old school) 🙄

A "Biker" whining about smoking in a movie.....

@@theunironicboomerang well I never smoked in my life 😂 Ain't that wild as the rest

husband is a former smoker - we walked out of the theater and he said that movie really made him want a cigarette....every.single.scene someone is smoking.

A job of a critic, in my opinion, is to inform the audience of what to expect. I believe the majority of the audience this movie is targeting will not be happy with the route the story takes. If you just want a boring review of critics saying the same thing, what would the point be? It looks good. It sounds good. The acting is solid. Most of that is pretty obvious from the trailer.

The trailer sold him a different movie.

First, it was based on a true story. The ending was perfect. It was a guy who was going down a destructive path and his father figure died but it left Benny with the opportunity to find a new life and meaning. The knife fight where Johnny gets shot was a great example of the honor and the values of the Old guard being killed. Cockroach getting beaten up for saying that he wanted to become a police officer was also pivotal, but also the thing that showed Benny that maybe there's life outside of the club. This is a story of the guys who created something good, but as it grew it got out of hand and became too much for either of them. There's a lot of subtlety and good writing in this. This is a grounded Story based on real events. This isn't a superhero film, it's a different element of the hero's journey. For the guy who was willing to get beat up and almost lose his foot because he wouldn't take off his colors to leave the group when the nature of it changed was so bold. Johnny saying bye to his wife and then wanting to say bye to Benny we knew this was the end and he probably knowingly quietly went to his death. The old men showing up in cars rather than riding their bikes showed this was the end of an era. They sowed violence and reaped the Whirlwind. For somebody to be as violent as Benny was and get out alive believably was massive. Johnny asking him to take over the club, but he didn't want to showed subtly that he might have had some hesitation in the future of the club, but not in the guys he loved and when those guys were gone he had to move on.

Jodie Comer is in it so you know how it's going to go.

I have to strongly disagree that this is a bad movie. It's probably one of the best written movies in a while And probably because it's roughly based on a True story. It's an excellent film. I just got home from watching it, it's amazing. It's going to go down as a classic. One of the things that he complains about I don't agree with is that the the Midwestern accents are layered on quite a bit, but this is also a period piece and this is the type of way blue collar workers would have used 50 years ago but people are too self conscious about now, like a Joe Pecci accent. It's a good study in male friendship. The scenery is amazing. I live in Upstate New York and the houses look like they could be anywhere in Schenectady or Utica. It's rooted in Chicago, but it's a very rust belt story.

Just saw it after reading the book. This guy making the video absolutely missed the point.

Wut

In what part of your inflamed brain did this thought mature? take care of yourself and try increasing the dosage

Your loss. The movie is awesome and he's really selling it short here

Two hours of random people riding bikes and a women narrating it

I thought it was a great hang out movie. Didn't feel slow at all

I thought that exact thing, haha

Skulls of Enemies?

Chased by a giant rolling ball?

Aw dont do that to em dude

It wasn't trying to be.

@@m081113 no kidding

@@m081113 I was talking more about the motorcycles cruising around. And emphasizing the riding....

It is its on thing ​@@RedPilledRants

RE: Jody Comer's seemingly extreme whiny accent, she actually studied the real characters voice for hours to get it down right. The original characters were photographed and audio-taped for the book of the same name. The book is essentially a photo book about the formation of the Outlaws motorcycle club, which still exists today.RE: Jody Comer's seemingly extreme whiny accent, she actually studied the real characters voice for hours to get it down right.

@@theandroids😂👍

It's based on the audiotapes of the actual person being interviewed for the book of the same name. Both the descriptions of the members and extreme whiny accent were copied for the film.
