The Founder reviewed by Mark Kermode 

Michael Keaton is one of the best actors. He was also awesome in Spotlight. I am going to see this film.

Great film, Keaton really was fantastic from start to finish stole every scene

I thought this movie was fabulous. I was engrossed from beginning to end. Very few movies do that these days for me.

I really liked this. Hancock is a solid director.

It was a great unvarnished look at Ray Kroc, his good and his bad.

I found it initially quite slow but it soon picked up and was a really good film about seeing the potential in a business, having the ambition to grow it .. and being on one side of the battle between decency and ruthlessness.

This movie proves that when the US can get quality movies made,opposed to the Superhero franchise, they get it right I was a little apprehensive at first and only saw it because Michael Keaton was in it. Was really surprised to learn through this movie that McDonald's actually made their money through real estate. Felt sorry for the brothers.

It's a very neat movie, I've watched it a few times, great story.

The handshake scene was brilliant - almost shouting at the screen :)

The film’s well acted, well directed, well written, intriguing, stylish, well scored & A very enjoyable biopic. (86%) (4.5/5 stars) (positive)

My wife and I were cruising for our Honeymoon and the ship's double bill was Lego Batman and The Founder. How bout it lol

I think this film was fantastic. Taking a fairly boring subject and making it incredibly engaging

Mark Knopfler made a song about Ray Kroc, called "Boom, Like That".

keaton did jackie brown, he was brilliant in that. thought founder was ok actually, was expecting it to an advert and was wondering why he was in this, but was surprised

Mark. I do enjoy watching your reviews, but only after I've finished watching the film. It would be great if you didn't discuss half the plot in your review so I could watch them beforehand though :)

Please review "The Man Who Invented Christmas"

In fairness to Ray Croc, McDonald's wouldn't have been a national and then global success story without him. They would have stayed local. Others (BK, KFC, etc) would have completely dominated the fast food market instead.

‘The Founder’ seemed to me to very much share it’s tone with ‘Hidden Figures’, in that it appears to take a light-hearted and liberal approach to telling a biographical story of post-war America. Personally I never use fast-food restaurants, but that didn’t matter at all. Michael Keaton takes centre stage and owns it with a gloriously devilish portrayal. Quite clever how the movie poster uses the golden arches to appear like angel wings. It’s good fun and worth seeing. 3/5

2017. Uploading in 480p. Even webcams shoot 1080p, come on now.

Amazing that these fellows never heard the name Ray Kroc....

Just came back from seeing the film. Gave it 7 / 10

What was that word Mark said around 5:47 that rhymes with renaissance?

and inventor of the hula burger

Keaton's best performance yet

Michael Keaton did a great job!!! Kermode is the only smart review to review it!
