Why Guy Ritchie Should Stick To Gangster Movies
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Guy Ritchie's first two movies Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels put the director on the map in the gangster film genre. Though Guy Ritchie's next run of films, mostly from major studios, would not live up to his original outings. Aladdin, King Arthur, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E, we're all panned by critics. Until he rediscovered his roots with The Gentleman, proving that maybe Guy Ritchie should just stick to gangster movies.

I totally disagree : Guy Ritchie doesn't need to stick to just making British gangster movies.
He just needs to find creative ways to incorporate his unique style into different style of movies.
His King Arthur and Sherlock Holmes were brilliant
Including COMEDY
people didn’t like Man From UNCLE? I’ve rewatched that movie at least 5 times and I’ve thought it was a blast every time. Solid 8/10. Maybe I need to take a look at it again, but I remember the script being well done too.
You're not alone, mate. I love that movie. Very solid, and I've been wishing for a sequel ever since it came out.
When I rented it, I watched it twice in a row when I first watched it and then showed it to my friend the next day.
It's certainly one that's been reclaimed over the years. Sadly it has such a stink of a box office failure, it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
That movie blows
I'm glad you liked it. There's some solid action but it's got a dead weight second act and goes on way too long. It's very slow.
The Gentleman was easily one of my favorite theater experiences of that year. Such a good return to form film.
true
The movie was amazing to watch and refreshing cause I remember the year being filled with superhero films in cinema.
That "Pond of flesh" scene was one of best bits of acting of McCounaghey, I rewatched it tons of times
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The dialogue is absolute trash - and I love his other gangster movies. I can't believe anyone could take this one seriously!
@@YSLFLACKO 2019 was a great year for all kinds of films with Parasite, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Joker, Uncut Gems, End Game etc coming out then as well.
Idk man… Sherlock homes was really good. If he made a third I would love it.
I'd love to see Brad Pitt in a Guy Ritchie Movie again. I think this was the crucial ingredient that made Snatch stand out from his similar movies.
They were sitting together at Wimbledon this year so your wish may come true
He rewrote the entire script once he heard that Pitt was interested.
I wanna see Vinnie Jones come back
The fact that people will complain about King Arthur having CGI villains, and then proceed to watch a marvel film just shows you the level of intelligence we have in the 21st-century.
Can I complain about both? Sorry I'm not a strawman
King arthur was an excellent film. The cgi is the only misgivings people can find about it. Although the marketing was atrocious, which inevitably destroyed it chances at the box office
Maybe they’re not the same group of people? 🤦♀️
I appreciate Ritchie's ability to bounce back as a big name director, even after experiencing disappointments and criticisms. Also, it feels like the man has made use of that sweet sweet Disney money from Aladdin to finance whatever kind of movie he wants.
I think Man from UNCLE, The Gentlemen, and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre carry on a lot of the tone and style that made Lock, Stock and Snatch so enjoyable to me.
@@ShadowyShowcasecrazy take each to their own I guess
@@AvfcMasonDude definitely went too far with that one
@@ShadowyShowcasewtf
Operation fortune is one of the blandest and most mediocre films I’ve ever seen tbh

I really enjoyed The Man from UNCLE and would love to see a sequel, it's a shame I'm in the minority on that one :
That movie was more Bond than Bond
@@F_the_G Me and my friends also really liked it.
And it's hard not to see it as a backdoor Bond audition for Henry Cavil. There's precedent there too. Roger Moore had "The Saint" and Pierce Brosnan had "Remington Steele."
I will add to the Man from UNCLE fan club
It’s one of my favorites
Didn’t understand the hate, thought it was great.
Man from U.N.C.L.E. is by far one of the most stylish action flicks ever made, while I had to force myself to stay awake during H8ful Eight.
Guy has a rare gift : he makes some-what simple story-lines look exciting. That's Talent.
Hateful eight isn’t an action film
Hateful 8 isnt Guy Ritchie
I love the King Arthur movie. I watch it all the time. Same with the Sherlock movies. I think his style works just fine outside of gangster movies. His style works best with gangster movies, but i think it translates well to others.
I think he'd make an amazing Robin Hood movie, if given the chance.
It's a pretty underrated movie tbh. I've shown it to friends, no one had ever heard of it before but they all really enjoyed it.
The music in King Arthur is so good
@@bamflyerYou have to thank composer Daniel Pemberton for that awesome soundtrack. He also did the soundtrack for Across the Spiderverse!
Well, if we dare to think further, King Arthur IS a true gangster movie, but in different setting. And it works great! So bad we won't have another one in near future
Guy Ritchie seems to have the best “one for you, one for me” handshake deal with Disney at the moment.
Snatch is still one of my favorite film, such an amazing dialogue and pacing! Gentlemen was a really great return to what Ritchie’s doing best, so I enjoyed that movie a lot too.👏🏻
Frankly, I’d love if he embraced being that “one trick pony”, because his gangster movies are great, and almost no one is doing anything similar (and similarly good) anymore, which is a bit of a shame.
But, honestly, he should do whatever he wants, as long as once in a while he delivers another Gentlemen or something similar for old time fans😅
Snatch, The Gentlemen, and Wrath of Man are all fantastic to me!! This is where Guy Ritchie really succeeds in his greatness, imo. I hope he makes more movies like those.
Tbf I think he did well with the man from uncle. But yeah his gangster movies are unmatched imo
I think the biggest shortfall with UNCLE is a lot of people want it to be something it's not. People really want it to be saying something or have some mastermind plot, but really it's just 100% vibes 100% of the time. Tbh how much can you expect from a 60s TV show remake
His Sherlok Holmes movies just blew me away. His style of direction we'll suited the movies & I'm still waiting for the third one. That's a genre too that He's really quite good.
I was 9 when I watched it the first time and it actually got me into the classic Sherlock Holmes books even though they are a bit different. To this day I love both of the Sherlock Holmes movies, there's nothing I don't like about them. The dialogues, and overall atmosphere is so unique compared to normal thrillers, Hans Zimmer music is a cherry on top
Man, I loved every single movie mentioned except swept away. I'm a HUGE Guy Ritchie fan and honestly, I'll show up for whatever he decides to direct. In my mind, the dude doesn't miss. Even if everything is of the same quality, I've never came out of one of his movies thinking that I wasted my money.
He was the only reason why I went to see ALADDIN
And it sucked
Lmfaooooo
Guy Ritchie’s “The Covenant” about a soldier and an interpreter in the War in Afghanistan was great.
The Gentlemen is tremendous and easily one of my favorite movies to watch at any time. I'd agree he's at his best when it comes to the gangster films but I thought The Covenant was certainly worth watching too.
Gentlemen is nifty, but it's still far from Snatch or Two Barrels, since it has moments where it wants to be taken more seriously, similar to Rock'n'rolla, his stories definitely work better as that one story a guy at a pub told me, rather than something more "serious", or perhaps I just found Wrath of Man way too meandering and boring...
The Covenant was a banger.
The Man from UNCLE is a good movie and I still want a sequel. idgaf what Tarentino says and I love all 9 of his movies
Yes, thankyou
I actually love Game of Shadows and think it’s an incredibly underrated film in his catalog i also do think the same for King Arthur I definitely understand and see the problems but i still think it’s a pretty good movie
I really enjoyed game of Shadows, I've watched the chess scene toooo many times
"Revolver" is probably my favourite underrated movie by him. Nice fun movie and Ray liotta/Jason statham were great. I dont care if people didnt liked it, I did
I think it is a masterpiece.
Snatch is one of my favorite movies of all-time, just an absolute masterpiece. Pitt knocked it right out of the park, I like him in Snatch even more than in Fight Club, it's right up there with him in 12 Monkeys.
Man from UNCLE is criminally underrated. The camera work and lighting during the interrogation scenes alone makes it worth a watch.
I think it’s really sad to box in an artist like this. And I feel like he’s done pretty well outside his wheel house. Sherlock Holmes and The covenant are really good. And I do like The Man from UNCLE as well.
This is so insulting to an artist. Saying that the mob movies are his best is fair and valid opinions/criticism but telling an artist to not push boundaries and try new things feels extremely disrespectful
I really liked Man From U.N.C.L.E, it sucks that we didn't get a sequel, I think it could have done better if given a better writer
I’ve been wanting y’all to cover Ritchie and Snatch in some capacity. Dope video bro
I am patiently waiting for the sequel to Rock'n Rolla. Not sure why that's been put on the back foot if indeed, he's returning to his roots. He intended to make a sequel (potentially even a trilogy) and he hasn't so much as acknowledged this for a very long time. If he wants to scrap the project, he should at least say so. He owes his fans that, at least.
Timing is gone for that unfortunately, but at least one of his works will receive a sequel of sorts, Gentlemen TV series is/was in works.
@@shockwave.studios If that's the case then OK but I'd prefer to hear that from Ritchie himself. Though, in saying that, they've made much worse sequels over greater time spans. Sequels we didn't need or want but got anyway.
Guy Ritchie is my biggest inspiration and I genuinely think he's a genius. Yes, I like his non-gangster films and I believe his signature CAN be seen in Aladdin
Guy Ritchie weren't alone. Matthew Vaughn were his second half. When Matthew went solo, it affected the next Ritchie movies.
Jerry Bruckheimer became a nobody when Don Simpson died, because Simpson were the main force behind that team and not Jerry.
There is often a duo behind these successes.
The Gentlemen is one of my favourite movies ever and it’s seriously slept on. Everyone I know really likes it, and it’s plot is probably my favourite of his films
Guy Ritchie is just unique, every movie has his essence and i love it, i think nobody else would have made a better version of sherlock holmes and even rdj has been teasing us in social media about doing a third one, i don't even dislike the slow-mo or the camera style because that's what makes it good, like in sherlock holmes 2 when the germans are preparing to fire the big cannon and you can see everything, the ammo, the cogs, the struggle to prepare the shot angle and the time comparison on how fast is the cannonball, everyone is just static while the shot destroys trees until the impact, it's just too good *chef kiss*
I haven't even watched the video yet and am already in agreement since I've been pining for this for years. I miss gangster Guy Ritchie.
Operation Fortune was a really fun film. It was a throwback to slick, enjoyable action flicks of the past that make good cinema-going but aren't reinventing the wheel.
Snatch, Lock Stock and Rock N Rolla are all legendary flicks in my opinion, so sharp, quick and witty. But Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur really weren't that bad either. And Aladdin was rather inoffensive and a serviceable remake. Man from Uncle and Revolver both suffered from convoluted plotlines, which were borderline nonsensica and extremely difficult to follow. But he really excels in the hard nosed crime genre, as evidenced by his return to form with The Gentlemen.
I'm the only weirdo who like very much The man from Uncle ... And I'm okay with that 😂
I feel like when it comes it his gangster films he knows the world and how to tell different stories in it, but he shouldn't be stuck doing one type of film as when he tries something else it might not work but there is valve in his film, hence why Man from Uncle is such a cool 60s film.
I LOVE Guy Ritchie! He is one of the best to ever do it! People are crazy if they did not enjoy The Man From U.N.C.L.E & King Arthur
Gawd, thank you for posting this, brother. How do you go from British gangster legends to a damn Madonna film?!!!!!
He was dating her at the time, he also directed a couple of music videos for her
Aside from a few simplistic takes on Ritchie’s career & filmography, good video
Im a large fan of Ritchie and the way he shoots. The transitions in uncle are incredible. Especially the "Infiltrate the Island" sequence.
I loved both his Sherlock films.
Insert comment about criticisms of his films that I do not know anything about
I really liked one of his last movies, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and Guy Ritchie's The Covenant was pretty good… so he should stick with movies about cool people doing cool things
Just watched Operation Fortune, great film, fast paced, good script, amusing one liners, felt like he was pointing out he was up for doing Bond which would be cool.
I think if any director can make a Death Note adaptation work, that certainly is Guy Ritchie, it has a lot of the elements that made his movie glorious, dialogue, multiple interactions between characters and side plots with bits of action.
I think David Fincher would work better
i have more faith in Guy Ritchie and his information delivery like in Sherlock Holmes which was done without much yapping but showing
I remember this hot mess. Still waiting for Rockanrolla 2.
Gotta disagree. His Sherlock Holmes movies are my favorite work by Ritchie. You're right about Aladdin and King Arthur, though.
agree, Sherlock Holmes were excellent too.
while Snatch and Lock/stock are undeniably classics, I still enjoyed all the newer movies of his i've seen, The Covenant really struck a cord with me, those 2 characters carried the movie so hard with that deep brotherly bond I can't recall seeing much of being portrayed anywhere else. Revolver was mindblowing for me when I watched it years ago, however once you get the twist it's not as interesting on a rewatch I think, but man that first viewing left an impression.
I am a fan. I love Lock Stock, Snatch, and the Gentleman. I wasn’t even aware of Swept Away or that he was responsible for Aladdin . I’ve only seen the live action Jungle Book and Mulan, as a fan of both originals. I will never watch a Disney live action adaptation again. Other than that, I will always give Guy Ritchie a chance.
I loved Revolver. Im thinking most people just didnt get it. It is a fairly deep movie. I need to rewatch it now...
i love both Sherlock Holmes movies. imo that's the only two films that perfectly captivate the Sherlock Holmes book magic to live action medium.
Snatch, lock stock, the gentlemen, rock n rolla, sherlock holmes...I love these films so much. They really cemented Guy Ritchie as one of my favourites. Then I watched wrath of man ... the covenant... and they're alright movies, no doubt about it, but they severely lack any of the iconic characters, smart dialogue, amazing pace... He really has a knack for those kinda of movies, but the last ones truly feel like any other action movie
I feel the same about Wrath of Man but haven’t seen The Covenant
Its hard not to like Man from UNCLE. Alicia Vikander in 60's style is a sight to behold.
I don’t care what anyone else thinks but I absolutely love Guy Ritchie’s “The Covenant”. It’s one of, if not thee best, war movie I have ever seen and I’ve seen quite a few in my lifetime.
Excellent movie!
Peace & Love to You All!! ✌🏻❤️
Jesus Saves✝️
Snatch, Rock N' Rolla and The Gentlemen are all brilliant.
Nothing wrong with having a genre that your particularly good at and known for. Didn't do Sergio Leone any harm.
Nah...The Covenant was great, nice change of pace for Ritchie
Yeah it was pretty good. Not entirely accurate but it was a great story and character development
guy ritchie should make whatever films he wants, in the same way you should make whatever videos you want. also ebert's take is funny, wonder if he would've said the same thing to Robert Rodriguez about el mariachi, desperado + the desperado trilogy
The only gangster film of his I watched was The gentleman and honestly it was a beautiful film a fun and enjoyable movie hope he does more like it
Lmao. The only Ritchie films I own are his non gangster ones: Man from UNCLE and King Arthur.
I normally dislike spy movies and anything King Arthur related outside of Fate/Stay night. Yet these movies were incredibly enjoyable. Made me respect Ritchie.
The only other director to do something similar is Villineus(Dune Director). Because I dislike anything related to Cyber Punk... yet that Director made me love Blade Runner 2049 despite it being a cyber punk film.
5:00 'Swept Away' was a success at the box-office. It made back more money than it's budget.
I think Rocknrolla is still my fave out of all of his films.
There's no shame in having a niche, especially if you're great at it.
I’m a big guy Richie fan, man from uncle is great, the gentlemen is fantastic and one that was left out was the British longest yard The Mean Machine is one of my favorites from him too
I want a guy Ritchie based GTA story set in London
I'd rather have a director try different genres rather than being stuck in the same one. Say what you want but his live action Aladdin remake is well regarded among audiences. His King Arthur is found to be underrated and highly entertaining. His latest film 'The Covenant' is one of his highest acclaimed films. The point being no director should stay in the same field. With just those 3 results he should be able to tackle whatever genre he wants.
59% - didn't fair well with critics
67% - warmly embraced
74% - critics were mixed
60% - reviews mixed
69% - ignored by audiences
Man I don't know wtf are you trying to say
Honestly, the only Ritchie films I've ever really watched were Snatch and the Sherlock movies. I LOVE the RDJ Sherlock and wish they'd done more, and Snatch is an absolute staple. I honestly hadn't even heard of half of his other films, including the bombs.
The Man from UNCLE is exceptional.
I think if Ritchie is going to stick to gangster movies, he should make them far from each other. He should make one every 5-7 years with an odd movie in-between a few times. This will ensure the audience does not have a Guy Ritchie fatigue. Just a suggestion though.
The Covenant was beyond excellent definitely one the highlights of this year...
Never direct a movie just so your wife can star in it. Just ask Renny Harlin how that worked out with Cutthroat Island.
I don't think Guy Ritchie should stick to gangster movies, but I do think the moment he made it big and started working with big budgets he lost something that made his first two movies great.
Man, I love Legend of the Sword. It's one of my comfort movies and among my favorite movies
Snatch is top 5 favorite movies, I love guy Ritchie movies and even I completely forgot he directed Aladdin loll
Wrath of Man was a pleasant surprise, went in expecting a typical Guy Ritchie film but was instead a very serious crime/revenge flick. Really enjoyed Covenant, Man from UNCLE and Aladdin was the only Disney remake I liked. Give this guy anything. No pun intended.
The Covenant and Wrath of Man were pretty solid. Man from UNCLE needs a sequel, too.
There is a short story called “Bine In The Throat” written by Anthony Bourdain that Guy Richie would be perfect to produce/direct
Great video.
Go watch Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant. Not a gangster movie. One of his best in my opinion.
hear hear!
hoping for Sherlock 3!! Love those movies!!
Revolver is so underrated i could watch it 100 times and still not get bored
“You're a rally car driver, aren’t you Tyrone” “course I am”
Snatch is so goated
Fortune was a ton of fun: sorry to hear it was pulled, I was hoping for the sequels to materialize :(
There is no reason for Ritchie to just stick to one genre. He must and he should experiment with multiple genres to evolve as a filmmaker. What he needs to do is to pick up good stories and scripts from multiple genres and then improvise creatively.
I loved King Arthur and UNCLE 😂
The man from Uncle and King Arthur are so underrated. But ya, the gentleman, and snatch are awesome
The covenant was pretty great, my only criticism is that it was so outside of his wheelhouse that I think he played it safe for some of it when I think he was on the right track and should have doubled down. But overall enjoyable and well made, the performances were great too
Guy Ritchie is the director I thought of when I heard they were doing a DC Suicide Squad movie. I think he would’ve killed it
So essentially Ritchie shouldn't stick to gangster movies because you listed a bunch of successful non-gangster movies he created
When I was a teen I really liked swept away lol
Probably not so much as an adult now if I watched it.
loved his Sherlock Holmes. can't wait for a third film
7:00 “…as a shot-for-shot imitation…”
*completely different genie animations *
I love the Sherlock movies. I have been waiting for years for a third. They are so cool and fun.
The Convenant was an amazing movie. I've watched parts of it 4 times it's such an easy and exciting watch
People often forget that actors make up a large portion of the experience of a film.
I loved king arthur...
Strongly disagree, although the Gangster film is his specialty, he should not stick to it, that's just asking for repetitive movies and lack of innovation. He did a great job with the Covenant and a pretty decent job with Wrath of Man, he should definitely try other things, even if it's not his specialty.
i loved UNCLE.. story, action, chemestry between actors.. saw it twice.
