I really have ever walked out of movies. I walked out of this movie this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Slow, poorly written and confuse like it found out it was a romantic comedy plus action movie. I don't know what the writing is bad or at the acting just didn't give a **** but it was so bad
I personaly liked the genres mix in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"; "The Interview"; "Die Hard", also a lot of S.Korean films like "Alienoid"; "Extreme Job".
lol many lines were changed in the actual movie,not the ones u used here in that footage XD Like there in the car she's saying that you're chilling to Taylor Swift or something like that or with the cop 9:20 different things are said in the final cut XD I saw the movie twice,I work at cinema,also saw scenes many times when entering the venues to check the temperature for instance Loved it
What I most appreciated most about this movie is how well they set up all the later scenes. Colt doing the "suicide" boat jump (with hands tied behind his back)? Well they actually let us know beforehand that he has previous experience with this. The gun with blanks in the fight scene in Ryders appartment? They show that it's loaded with blanks beforehand so that we actually understand why Colt is not killed in that scene. In that respect the unicorn telegraphing that colt is still high was the cherry on top. And the meta film commentary (like the split screen scene, while talking about a split screen scene in the movie) - great! Very high on my all time favorites list.
Agreed! There was so much more thought put into the script to set up future scenes in the film! You'd be watching a scene, then something is said or visually seen, and you're like "Oh yeah, I remember That!"
@@swyxTV it actually goes a step further than that. insurance can deny the claim. what they're asking for is the guarantee that someone will pay for it and if the insurance company denies the claim for w/e reason then the studio has to foot the bill. if insurance actually paid out like they should, then yeah i'd agree it's reinventing something, but insurance's business model is built around paying as little as possible, possibly nothing if they can get away with it.
It's a small step! If the oscars recognize stuntmen, maybe the studios will follow suit. I wouldn't be surprised if that's on their list of things to do
@@Iggybart05 don't you guys have workplace accident insurance? they're mandatory where I live and have to pay for any treatments including cosmetic, therapy/rehab, etc. The studio having to foot the bill instead of decent worker's insurance doesnt change anything, they'd still have to prove they got injured at work + treatment is necessary.
@@lilia3944 they aren't mandatory everywhere. hell where i work we just hit a safety number high enough to allow us to try for worker's comp insurance. we couldn't get insured before. but even with insurance, the claim can still be denied. for w/e reason the insurance company can come up with.
I had fun watching this movie. Pacing was a bit off in a few places but solid action and really enjoyed this love letter to the stunt community. It's always nice to have Ryan in a comedy role and I'll watch anything Emily Blunt is in. (Winston Duke and Stephanie Hsu are underrated delights as well) Love your breakdowns 💖
9:53 that color grading really make that pink look not so pink in my opinion 15:08 when they told this story I thought his father was dead but then they say he was on set and I was totally confused
Really fun movie. I want more movies like this one. I need more movies where all of the stunts are practical and the scripts are actually original. It may be based on an old tv show but the only thing it takes from the show is some of the stunts and two character names. Everything else is entirely original.
Idk if anyone’s told you but you’re actually really talented at this. Like the movie analysis, the reviewing of the rollouts, even the jokes in the video. “More thumbs up than a pip boy… they address their fallout…” lol you need a job at tmz or E! Or some shit
SO heres' the deal. I really enjoyed this movie. I thought every member of the cat (including the dog and the cockatoo) was superb. I didn't see this in the theater (sorry -- I live in Seattle and it's virtually impossible to go to the movie theater and not have some self-absorbed techie spoiled brat playing on his or her phone during the show and ruining it for other members of the audience). I bought the movie from iTunes -- and that meant I got the theatrical version of the movie, which I watched first, plus the extended cut tha's 20 minutes longer. I have to admit that one of the things I had on my mind on first viewing was "How come this movie didn't draw a bigger audience?" Then, after watching the theatrical version, the next night I watched the extended version -- which I thought was much better. Did the studio have control of the issue of which version went to the theater circuit? Here's why I think the extended version was better: (1) The timing was better. The theatrical version had a lot of "wham, bam, alakazam" but the rhythm of the set-up scenes, the action sequences, and the follow-up tag scenes was much choppier. One example is that in the theatrical version, the opening sequence "one-shot" action sequence ends with COlt falling, then we briefly see him being wheeled out to the ambulance, then we very quickly end up in the "present day" when he's a valet. He then, at work, has an awkward interchange with a jerky guy who says, "Don't I know you?", recognizes Colt as a former stunt guy, and then the jerk tosses Colt the keys to his car, admonishing him not to drive it too fast. We see Colt get the car and do donuts in the parking garage. Then we see him later at his apartment, where Gail the producer finds him and recruits him to come back to work as a stunt man, telling him it's on Jody's first movie as producer, and that there]s trouble on the set, which conviinces him to accept the offer. In the extended edition, the opening "one-sie" sequence is much the same, but as Colt is on his way to see what Tom Ryder wants him for (to re-do the falling stunt), we have a few more seconds of interaction between Colt and Jody, a few more seconds between Colt and Tom Ryder (and Gail his producer). It's pretty clear that both Tom and Gail are self-centered jerks. Then Colt goes up in the elevator and begins the disastrous fall. But there's a bit more when we see him wheeled out. In the extended edition, we see Jody's horrified emotional reaction to his being injured. Then we see Colt 18 months later, and he's at work, then meets the jerk -- and there's a few more seconds there, with the jerk being even jerkier, inviting his girlfriend to join in ridiculing Colt's having become what they clearly consider a "nobody" now. This sets up Colt's retaliation, doing all kinds of donuts with the jerk's car (about twice as long a sequence -- thus giving the audience time to react to what's going on and laugh as Colt shows that he's a very experienced, very capable driver.) When Colt pulls up in the car, the jerk and his girlfriend are clearly slack-jawed with outrage. Colt tosses the jerk the keys and leaves -- clearly he's lost his job at this point, because of what he's done, and he knows it. Then he goes home, where he meets Gail, and there's a different cast to their conversation. Also this sequence, in the extended edition, lets us see that Colt really is a very capable and experienced driver. (Notice that, in the theatrical edition, up until now, all we've seen is his terrible fall. We haven't seen him do his stuntman thing capably yet.) The theatrical edition is a fast, but very choppy, introduction, but the extended edition is much better, even though all that's added is a second here and there. (2) Something happened to the theatrical version I saw. The sound balance was pretty bad -- all the "boom boom bang" stuff was fully loud, but somehow thd dialogue was out of balance. -- to the point where we had to turn the captions on to be able to hear the dialogue (especially Colt's and Jody's -- since both speak in somewhat undertone volume. We didn't touch the sound controls between the two versions, but having the action sequences overpowering the dialogue sequences was definitely a problem. (The dialogue volume might not have been a problem in the theaters, since the theaters may have corrected for any issues like I'm describing -- but maybe not.) (3) The movie within a movie within a movie bit kind of got a bit overdone in the (shorter) theatrical version. The "game" that the stunt coordinator character liked to play with Colt was, I think, probably a problem with the younger audiences that then to go to the theaters. I mean, dude, "Notting Hill," "Pretty Woman," and "Last of the Mohicans" were all more than 20 years ago. The young people today -- many of them -- have never seen those movies! (I'm judging by my own grandchildren, (aged from 20 to 29) who (like me), love movies -- but they haven't gone back (and won't, no matter how much I tell them about some of the "classics" of that era) and watch those movies. I know those movie trivia references would go completely over their heads. And that's really unfortunate in this movie, because the "movie trivia game" references were used to make specific relevant points at different places, and I think the younger generation would likely miss the point completely. Sorry. It probably sounds as if I'm criticizing the film when I said I liked it. And I do -- but especially the extended cut. I was just mystified as to how this film supposedly "missed" its financial targets, and has (by some professional critics) been called a "flop." I definitely don't think it was a flop. I feel it deserves a second look, and wantt to recommend that others who view the streaming version buy the version from iTunes (or the DVD version that is apparently coming out around Christmas time) so they can see the much better extended edition. I love Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt both. I just got into this analysis trying to figure out how this movie could have not been a major hit. Hope you find this discussion interesting.
Idk how anyone wouldn't immediately know from the trailer that this is an action rom-con. It's why it bombed. Rom-coms never do well in theaters. They're better streaming movies.
I'm curious, a few of the clips you shared from the movie weren't in the canadian version i saw today, like the "I'd slap the shit out of you" comments between the leads and "ice crime" jokes with the police officer and i wonder why they were cut? Or if they were just trailer bits that didn't make the final cut in general? Someone let me know if they experienced this too?
@@srayj and hopec7006 -- I definitely noticed several spots from the preview that were cut short in the actual movie. The "Ice crime" exchange was cut short in the movie, even in the extended edition.. Also, the trailer showed a longer version of Colt trying to get into the hotel room, having to deal with the badly programmed room key, and then flexing his shoulders and limbering up before crashing in the door. That was funny in the trailer, but in the movie (both versions), he just comes upstairs from the front desk, key still won't work, and then he's crashing through the door. The limbering up bit was funnier (shows how he's frustrated and is making the decision to do whatever he has to to try to find Tom Ryder as he promised.) There were enough of these clearly different versions (between trailers and both film versions) that I began to wonder who had creative control over the final cut. Also the extended edition has a much better final sequence, where it makes it much clearer how the stunt guys are all helping Colt and Jody take on the bad guys. Much clearer ending and even more supportive of the stunt guy connections.
Can you do Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare next? I loved that one as an action comedy. And the ending was on a high note instead of bitter sweet like Inglorious Bastards. ☺️
I loved this movie!! And love Ryan and Emily!! It deserves to have done so much better at the box office than it did. Idk how people let this movie fail when they promoted it to hell and back, like the blockbuster it should have been 😭 ya'll will never be forgiven!! Lol
I think the best action-mix film is The Mummy 1999! It's an action/comedy/romance/horror and does SUCH a great job balancing them all. The sarcophagus jump-scare followed up with the "Juicyyyy" comment always kills me! And the romance between Fraser and Weiss is just **chef's kiss. The sequel is also shockingly good, although the third one was absolute garbage.
I was so sceptical but i saw it yesterday and it is so fun!!!! Ryan and Emily have great chemistry, pacing is great, stunts are great! Yes there r couple of minor plot holes (like how he had such a drastic fall but in 18 months he is falling and fighting?). But still it was worth movie ticket!
I never saw the theathrical only the extended and woe the movie was pretty different. I LOVED the extended version and i never thought id be so invested in a movie where "i was made for loving you" is being covered during a amazing monolog
the movie was good but it came out too close to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. So for those that need to choose which to watch on cinema due to budgetary chose Kingdom's
It's my favorite movie of the year so far. It's just fun and feel good. The stunts are fun. Gosling and Blunt are great. Everyone's just having fun, and it's a movie about making movies, which is always fun. Also, it's interesting drawing up comparisons to Nice Guys, because The Fall Guy did remind me of Kiss Kiss Bang.
@@LetMeExplain I’m just saying from the trailers I could tell this was a love story wrapped in an action flick. But I’m also a writer and am pretty good at getting a feeling for a movie before I see it.
Saw it last night. I can see why it bombed. It's really not very good on any level. It had a couple of decent scenes that were amusing but entirely forgettable.
As an older person in these comments, I would say they lost the spirit of the original fall guy. And literally turned this into a John Woo film. Also, most of the film were odes to something else. And that’s fine for what it is. What struck me was how high budget it was. Where the original fall guy was more low budget, low tech. And Lee Majors was more Barney Fife than John Mcclane. I personally wished they would have made the Roger Corman fall guy than the John Woo version. Don’t get me wrong there are some funny scenes in it, but it isn’t really a satisfying film as a whole. It could’ve been expendables 7. Which is what it watched like.
