All the bad reviews on this movie were complaints about it feeling like your watching someone play a video game. Clearly the critics know what the movie is, yet still don't understand why the movie was made that way. Also they full know that we know, they never played and fps in their life and are just mad they couldn't play a game so awesome just like this movie.
There's a rich tapestry of sci-fi and the cyberpunk genre peeking out from under the surface of all the awesome action. Anybody well-read in these genres will recognize and appreciate that part of the story without having to have themselves beat over the head with it. It just flew past a lot of a film critics I think.
It's because this movie changes the formula for movies that critics aren't used to. It's unfamiliar territory, therefore it's safer to put it down. I stopped taking them seriously after reviews like ghostbusters(2016) and TLJ.
Pretentious "critics" will hate on it, the audience will love it. It's a stupid movie with little to no story, but god damn is it fun to watch. Sure, you're not gonna be blown away by a compelling story, but you'll have a good time regardless. In my opinion, we need more movies like this. Something ridiculously stupid and action packed. Like those old 80s Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies. You don't give a fuck about what's going on in the story, just wanna see some ass get kicked!
Guy Guyson No We don't need more movies like this because this movie wasn't trying to be ridiculous You wanna watch a good movie with fun action that's ridiculous watch Kung fury This movie is fun yes But it's not good
Austin Lucifer Are you kidding me? Of course this movie was trying to be ridiculous. Saying it was trying to take itself seriously is like saying the moon is made of cheese.
@@ChineduOpara ironically the "pretentious" critics greatly support experimental films. In fact they have their own sub genre called "art films" and the whole purpose is to explore new film making techniques and story devices.
This is the kind of movie where you can gather a bunch of friends, discover the movie you were supposed to watch dont work and go "Wanna watch hardcore henry again?" and people go "..Yeah"
i love this movie! i just finished watching it 10 minutes ago and we have decided to watch it again tomorrow after having a smoke. you have to watch this movie just for the experience.
Altough I personally have no issue with the lack of background this is a silly argument. The “memory loss” is just a cheap decision to not have background
@@daanstrik4293 I think the idea is that Henry is basically a manipulated pawn throughout the movie with very little character you only see glimpses of. By the end of the movie when you finally see his face and see the truth behind the relationship with his father, he finally "becomes his own man" so to speak.
Personally loved the fact that it was set in Russia,. People never see Russia in films, except for Red Square with heavy Soviet music in the background. It's good to see him running through streets and seeing ordinary people, even just in passing. It helps to combat the stereotype that all Russians are either communists or gangsters (or some weird fusion of both)
+specialK312 Terminator 2 is great > Hell Yeah! Terminator 2 is the best action movie ever > Yeah, I can agree with that Terminator 2 is a masterpiece > Yeah for sure! Terminator 2 is the best movie ever made > Ehhhh... I dunno... I hesitate to say ANY film is the best film ever, but I would agree top ten!
Ilya was definitely ahead of the time. He and all the others created a Movie way too unique for 2015. Even nowadays we aren't ready yet... hopefully we will get to this point and the Movie will get the attention it deserves as a classic in the future....
Thats the issue with games nowadays. If you're gonna make us play as a character and you didnt give him/her any personality, you might as well have pulled a Fallout or Skyrim on us and just let us make our own character.
I wanted to go see this on my birthday yesterday but guess what? In only 19 days it has vanished from all theaters in the state of Texas, really only like two weeks. Oh still playing BvS everywhere on multipule screens, the GD Barbershop movie, but no Hardcore Henry. Somehow this movie vanishes off the face of the planet. Anybody have an explination for this?
Live Free or Die Hard. My favorite ridiculous action movie(yeah the first Die Hard is legit but when you get to the scene in 4 where he crashes a helicopter with a car...yup)
Hardcore Henry: Main character doesn't talk, violent, gory, unstoppable Doom: Main character doesn't talk, violent, gory, unstoppable Hmmm I'm starting to see a pattern here
I think you should have 3 "levels" for the no alcohol required thing. Because the whole point of your rating was to rate the movie in a way where it describes how you feel about it, and I've noticed that sometimes you struggle with it, or people give you shit, so I guess depending on how fun and the movie is without requiring any alcohol, you should either say "good time no alcohol required", "great time no alcohol required", or "amazing time no alcohol required"
+Johnny flame vlogz funnily enough, Smack My Bitch Up was the greatest music video of all time...until Bad Motherfucker by Biting Elbows. And whaddya know, the guy who made it now made Hardcore Henry, one of the best action films ever.
I adore this movie. Despite the lack of character for Henry the E Z he writes at the end will stick with me for ever. As for Jimmy, he is my spirit animal
When I saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately remembered that DOOM movie in 2005, the second last scene is completely in FPS mode. This movie is like that, but with more realism and 100 times the action, and better
Hey man I'm one of our biggest fans. Started watching you after TFA and have watched dozens of your videos since and love them. I really love movies and your channel is fantastic. I recently watched se7en and was hoping that you could maybe do a review? Thank you for churning out videos every week. I know that can't be easy. Well if you read this thank you and good luck. P.S. LOTR is my favorite movie as well
I'm gonna say, this isn't as ridiculous as it is ridiculous awesome, John Wick. There was at least 10 times in that movie was I was just WHHHAAAATTT???!??!??
To me, the ending of this movie was one of the most satisfying conclusions I've seen in a film ever. And when I say this, I mean the absolute LAST thing that happens in it; because it's hilarious. XD

The Raid movies are the best ridiculous action movies of all time!!!
^^^
And Kung Fury and Sin City and Machete and Machete Kills and Planet Terror and Kill Bill
The Raid movies are not ridiculous... They are martial arts movies...and they have serious drama plots...
+Shamyrl ridiculous? 100% of the stunts are legit in these movies...
ayy same
the reason why there is not much back story to Henry is because he doesn't know who he is because of memory loss
that doesn't change the fact that it was a narrative decision not to give him much backstory
Altough I personally have no issue with the lack of background this is a silly argument.
The “memory loss” is just a cheap decision to not have background

Buy it. Comes out on blu ray and digital HD in a week, I already bought it off playstation network since it's available there.
PR I might ;)
A movie that has a story only as a neccessity, because above all else, this movie was meant to be a fun ride, and it most certianly is, 100%
highly underrated movie
It's such a good action movie, the best part is, there's the first 10 minutes of exposition and then there's the film. Great, 10/10, love it.
I wish the action scenes weren't so blurry. They need some moments for people's eyes to catch up a bit.
