0:34: 😂 Quite something that Guy Ritchie has pumped out 6 movies (Aladdin, The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, 'Guy Ritchie's The Covenant', Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre & The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) & The Gentlemen spin-off show in the last 5yrs! With the exception of Aladdin & Operation Fortune which just came & went, they've done relatively ok with critics but audiences in particular seem to really love the output! What's Christy & Alonso's favourite of his recent output? The Covenant? The Gentlemen?
OK, Christy... adore you, BUT, you're just WAY TOO SERIOUS on this. Saw it yesterday, and really enjoyed it. Just a old fashioned action throwback. I was amused with the song-choice, which the lady sang, near the end. Although, it did fit the mood, style, & period of the tale, it was written in 1959 ! So that (very) tiny glitch did not detract.
I come to realize that film criticism is an exercise in philosophy. Subjective realism encounters the intersection of rationalism and empiricism with a dose of serious existential dread. maybe this is absurd? Love you guys!
I once again have to state that I enjoy hearing what both of you think about the films, especially when the opinions are are opposite of each other's. With that being said I have to agree with Alonso's review. I feel I had a bit of a better time watching this than he did but he pretty much has the same views of the film as I do.
I'm with Christie on this one. What could have been fun as Alonzo see's it became tedious and boring. Cool glib assassins laugh and kill, and it could have worked if it were shorter and tighter. This is Tarantino wanna-be Ritchies attempt at Inglorious Basterds but he forgot to add story and intrigue.
Maybe Ungentlemanly Warfare worked better on the big screen? Just saw it at home, and this felt kind of like watching a video game, much of the time, without a sense of weight, or risk, to any of it.
I don’t know. I quite like Guy Ritchie’s recent movies, but the trailer for this is not doing much for me. Appreciate the conflicting scores. That seems to be me.
You disagree again on a film??? What is this world coming too??? JK. I'm on the fence about this. Been hearing mix reviews. Still haven't seen "Civil War". I'm getting so behind on films. It's annoying.
I agree with Christy. I found it to be bland on all areas. bland characters, bland directing, bland dialogue.. heck even the action scenes were bland. Coming off of the covenant last year (which i thought was excellent) I was expecting more from guy ritchie.
Alonso only likes films that promotes gay stuff! His argument about why this film is good is exactly the counter-part to why he didn't like Civil War. He's no longer a film critic... he's an activist!
Don't be ridiculous...he says those things with a tongue in his cheek...has nothing to do with activism...Civil War was a truly terrible film with serious intent which made it triply awful..THIS Ritchie film is INTENDED to be a lightweight entertainment..and like MOST Guy Ritchie films it has a homoerotic subtext..that becomes pretty overt at times...it would ludicrous not to mention that
@@bucknutz9290 people who have ZERO to say in order to gain some kind of advantage and smugly feel as though they have said SOMETHING..will..like you have here..turn into a petty example of the language police..in the future try and resist this DISINGENUOUS posturing.you know EXACTLY what I meant..and keep this in mind.. especially on a PUBLIC platform..IT IS BETTER TO BE THOUGHT A FOOL..THAN OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT
"There's nothing to Henry Cavill, ... that's it" ..... I really do like HC and I think he's a little of this always even if I enjoy seeing him onscreen. There's a dullness that his handsomeness can't get around.
I'm with Christy on this one. Boring. And the action is so often entirely one sided that I didn't care. I chose this over Abigail because that was showing in such a rinkydink screening room at the closer AMC. Might see it tom'w in Dolby instead.
Guy Ritchie, one of my favorites, will watch, glad you mentioned "T/ Man From U.N.C.L.E" n "Rock n Rolla", they don't get enough attention in his catalogue. Neither does "T/ Gentlemen" IMO
Inglorious guns of naverone dirty dozen rip off very silly,can’t believe there’s a universe that discusses Guy Ritchie films at all,Ww2 as a whole not hilarious really
Just seen it and realized after about an hour I just didn't care. It's nonsense of course, but there's no jeopardy as you never really believe anyone is in real danger. It's very superficial. All that said I loved the jazzy score which needs a better movie. I'm with Christy on this one.
Love it when you guys are split. I really liked CIVIL WAR. I keep thinking about it! So I was on Christy’s side last weekend. I wonder which side I’ll be this weekend. Excited for tomorrow!
"Stabby, stabby. Shooty, Shooty." Ah, yes, the technical terms. I know someone who was watching it, and was like "Ugh, this is too much." And quit halfway through.
I'm with Christy here. The action bits were fun enough, but there's nothing to this movie. No meat on the bone. No real twists or turns. The characters are given a mission, and they pretty much complete it with very little complications. Ritchie's usual style is missing. It's not even on the level of his Sherlock Holmes movies. Eiza González and Babs Olusanmokun are the best parts of the movie. Babs is such a charismatic actor. I wanna see him in more of the things.
I'd put this movie loosely alongside The Dirty Dozen movie but with weaker characters. A bunch of ruffians to earn their release for a war mission. 6/10
For some reason, I thought they were going to say that Henry Cavill was agent Argylle. Lol! I agree with Christy on this one. The first third of the movie wasn't bad but the rest of the movie is a struggle to get through.
