So the red notice film is unbearable because you have Ryan Reynolds who is running his mouth in 4 films...and this time he is doing it to The Rock for an entire film. This is just white privilege at its finest because The Rock doesn't slap Ryan Reynolds once. It's bullshit and it's ugly.
The main reason why movies are dark is to hide bad cgi or just hide cgi. When in a bright scene you see everything so you can easily see the flaws. With dark or night scenes you can hide the flaws with darkness.
@AngeW-vm4kx Yeah, the dark is a good effects masker and isn't inherently bad. Think of The Thing. Just as long as your dark lighting doesn't feel out of place with the movie.
I hear it’s has a lot to do with the monitors they use on set or to edit on are usually better quality than most affordable home TVs or other consumer device, so they end up shooting or color correcting for only high end devices and optimal viewing conditions. And then of course it’s made worse with how compressed things get for streaming. Plus I imagine lots of productions not really caring because they’re just pumping them out for the Netflix Background Film Industrial Complex.
I can tell you as a Film editor, with some credits on films that are actually visible around 10 seconds in on this video (on the Netflix scroll), that this is not true. This is not the "main" reason for particular cinematography trends.
"Ryan Reynolds plays the same character in all three films" Well now, that's not fair...Ryan plays the same character in *every* film. And that character is Van Wilder.
It is one method to acting. Kinda being yourself and act as if you would be say a lawyer who is this intelligent with this mindstate blablabla but it is in core you, like that's 100% Anthony Hopkins for example. John Malkovich is another pretty good example. Ryan Reynolds have just gone Full On comedic acting that could be compared to say Seth Rogen. How Seth is always Seth but there is nothing really deeper in it. Like in for example Hpkins performances there ofc always is something deeper and brilliant in them. To Me, Ryan Reynolds have become super boring already ages ago, he is just so one dimensional that the charisma isn't even enough.
@@aleksisuuronen5969Naw Reynolds can keep going for a while doing R rated humor. I really dont see the problem. Do you get sick of your friends for being the same person all the time?
Glad you brought up how stupid visually dark movies are getting. My dad is legally blind but can make out most of what's going on in a movie except for the intricate details.... he says that he can't work out anything that's going on in new movies because the lighting is so bad. It annoys me and i can see fully lol
They're slowly forcing us to go to bed at night aha but for real, yes, driving at night is horrible nowadays and that's me as a person with full vision. Can't imagine how unliveable it'd be outside of my experience@@kaydwessie296
These movies have ruined "Family movie night" for me. I'll be scrolling through Netflix and my Mom will say "OH THE ROCK IS IN IT PUT THAT ON" while I calmly try to explain to her that it's probably really bad
It's kinda funny because back in the day that's how a lot of people choose what to watch, if a movie had Tom Hanks in it, or Tom Cruise people would flock to the theatres or rent it on a whim on blockbuster and it would probably be at least decent, a lot of the movies coming out now just seems to be made filling a checklist, appealing to the general audience with big name cast, using a popular IP's and pandering to the internet crowd, it doesn't matter that it's good as long as it has a trailer that makes it look better than it actually is, and that it's a reboot or a sequel they think people will go see it, they really seem to do the lowest effort posible on all fronts and still end up bloating the budget to 100M to avoid paying taxes on the full profits
Yeah I thought the relationship/banter between young and old Adam was really good and well-worth all the less than 100% engaging stuff in the movie. don't know why people feel the need to bully a talented kid actor so much haha
What gets me most is when Chris said “Let’s kill this Ken doll” or something along those lines because it’s an obvious jab at Ryan’s upcoming Barbie movie at the time.
For me this movie has lack of suspense. It has too little character building that I didn't really care what happends to any of those characters... but hey part happends in Prague... and they trash our pretty tram and buildings on the Náměstí republiky.
Ryan Renalds has never not played deadpool. He was deadpool when playing green lantern. He was deadpool in his earlier movies as well. He is always typecast as the sarcastic guy who makes a lot of quips. Like all the time. Nothing has changed mor will ever change about that.
@@AcceptGamingDKD everything post green lantern yes. But he had quite a lot of range prior to that. I’m autistic and have seen like 95% of his stuff 😅. I really recommend watching The Nines.
i wanna hear more sayings from this dumb world. "a magic apple a day keeps enchantress stepmothers away" "snitches get...hexed by witches" "the lesser of two dark lords"
I watched The Adam Project with my family. It was a good movie to watch as a family with a then nine year old, and an eighteen year old , and completely different tastes in movies. Many movies that people seem to assume no one pays attention to are also just movies made for people who don’t usually discuss movies online.
@@noahjoyner8232 it isn’t even “background” watching all the time. If I sit down with my family to watch something, we are actively watching it. But I won’t get passionate enough to talk about it at length, at least not with people who weren’t there when we watched it.
@@trinelarson6655 of course I have. I watch plenty of different movies, depending on who I watch with, and the movies I get excited about are original. But in settings like watching movies with my parents and younger siblings when I visit, this sort of movie is a common denominator that we can agree on. The point of watching these movies usually isn’t to see a masterclass in cinema, but to have a good time with whoever you are watching with.
In fairness, Ryan Reynolds has been playing this character -- essentially himself -- since 2 Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place which was waaaaayyyy before Deadpool
I’ve never understood why people hate actors who play the same character in every movie, so long as them being hired to play these characters fits the character they are playing, I don’t see the problem lol.
@@SirFlooberisit’s because they aren’t acting. they’re memorizing a loose script and doing the same thing in a different “role” if you want to watch that go to youtube. it’s lower quality content disguised as a multi million dollar movie
It's funny that Netflix went so hard against the writer strike, And yet at the same time their film output embodies every single complaint that push the writers to the picket line. For the whole ordeal the biggest complaint I heard was that writers were getting canned after like the second draft, and films were going to shoot without a script supervisor on staff. And I have never felt the effects of those decisions more than in these five movies.
I think the most insidious thing about these movies is that I had completely forgotten they existed, let alone that I watched them, so listening to you describe them had them flashing in my mind like they were horrid visions from the universe. thank you pinely.
I heard “Orc racism” as “Orca Racism” and immediately began trying to sort the concept out in my head and then I saw the picture of the Orc from Bright and realized my error. I was ready to file away the fact that a movie based on Orca Rasicm was a thing. This is the danger of listening to RUclips, in the background, while I work.
To be fair the entire story of that movie is pretty much orcs vs humans vs elfs or basically blacks vs whites vs mexicans it is very much a movie solely based on racism and like every other race based film the black cop ends up being part elf and liking the orcs bridging the divide between all races its honestly pretty corny but the action makes up for it
The orcs usually resemble hispanics/chicanos and the elfs are distinguished almost god like beings that are given a huge boost in society just from being an elf and of course the main cop in the movie is black
Honestly, even given 1'000 years, I would never have guessed that the 13 Going On 30 Cinematic Universe would turn out with Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo giving birth to Ryan Reynolds, who ALSO ends up going back in time to teach and learn wholesome lessons from his younger self. It's the kind of magic only the most talented Hollywood writers could create.
Fun fact! These action/spy movies like the bond films do change locations a billion times for financial reasons. They get sponsored by or get discounts for shooting in cities because film promotion is very good for local business. That’s why they will never stop making these same spy action movies. Both the cities and films financially prosper.
It's funny how Mexico City did not have a day of the dead parade for the holiday, but because the James Bond film had it they started doing one for tourism reasons.
i feel like bright is a tolkienverse modern au fanfiction with will smith. it makes more sense this way because if it was trying to do real world racism metaphors, the dark lord thing really doesn't make sense, but if it is the imagination of someone who has just watched or read the lord of the rings, it lines up pretty perfectly. plus them never following through with the dark lord in the first place makes it feel very much like those fanfiction-to-published-book pipeline novels, where you can absolutely feel this is a world with pre-existing conditions that you would understand if you knew what universe the fanfiction was initially set in but obviously don't now that it was rewritten to be a supposedly original work. in which case the dark lord is obviously just sauron.
It's still totally bad hot takes on police racism. A cop character references the Black Lives Matter movement for a joke. A movie can be two things. The unpolished fanfiction vibes you're picking up are also probably because Netflix was firing writers before they were done and filming with unrefined scripts.
What if we did Ryan Reynolds as Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds in a movie. Then he realizes the script is just a set up to go topple governments and Gal Godot shows up for some reason
The Grey Man cost 200 million but I’ve somehow never seen any advertising or heard anybody else mention it. I’ve at least heard of Red Notice and Bright but not the others.
gnomeo and Juliet is unironically an amazing and underrated gem. I love that movie and will defend it with my life. The scene with Hello Hello in the background on top of the greenhouse is genius production.
For some reason Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling have always been intrinsically intertwined in my head. It's weird but it's like their carreers in the public eye mirror eachother and you can't have one without the other. It just seems like a given until i remeber it's basically just some weird shit in my imagination. Does anyone else experience this or do i just have a very strange way of thinking?
I do the same thing I thought they were brothers for awhile as well 😭i think it’s bc they’re white guys w/ the same haircut who look vaguely similar and have the same name
In my head the only difference is that Ryan Reynolds is like, a golden retriever of a man. Just a guy who seems generally happy to be in existence. Ryan Gosling is hot for straight people, Reynolds at least makes my little gay self giggle.
"We need you to fake your death so you can complete your missions with secrecy.".... "Won't seeing a dead billionaire philanthropist walking around be a little conspicuous?"
If someone's ancestor was a follower of Ivan the Terrible or Genghis Khan, we wouldn't still hold that against them just because they are the same race. And that was a lot less time ago. They actually say 2000 BC, so more like 4000 years ago. No-matter how bad a "dark lord" was, the idea that 4000 years later this is still a vivid image to people alive now, is just not how historical memory works in the real world. Even how they remember the past in Bright is an OTP fantasy trope.
They were probably trying to draw parallels to medieval Europeans blaming Jewish people for the crucifixion and hating them because of that. Or, on second thought, I am just interested in history and put more thought into this than they did.
@@Guineapigsreadingbooks I think if that was their intent, they probably wouldn't have given the orcs characteristics that resemble the african american community. My personal theory is that they fell into the trap a lot of people trying to write about allegories for racism do; they decide to make a logical reason for the prejudice, when in the real world, prejudice is not something logical
@@Guineapigsreadingbooks That would be worse, as the relationship between race and religion in Judaism is even more complex, and even more nuance is lost if flattened out as one fantasy race. And if the idea of blaming them for the death of Jesus was broadly accepted, the main thing they were regarded for today, we would be living in some kind of alternate history dystopia. Will Smith would be playing a Nazi who slowly comes to see his Jewish partner as a real person. This is not too far from how the movie really plays out, but that would move it from clumsy analogy to wildly offensive.
@@esbenm6544 I am by no means saying that it would make it better, since it definitely would make it worse. I am simply trying to figure out this madness, and figured that they might just have read the first chapter of a book on the complex history of antisemitism, and decided to run with it. They obviously put no thought into the implications of anything in this movie, or how problematic the transference to real life might be. The just threw a shit ton of things together. This parallel (if it was supposed to be there) feels more like a moment of „look, bad things in this world are similar to bad things in our world. So if it is bad in this world, it is bad in our world“ than an analysis of the irrationality of historical scapegoating.
I saw the second movie. The two things I remember about it were the Chopard product placements and seeing the Michael Bay director credit at the end and saying “It’s a Michael Bay movie…that makes sense.”
you're already calling me out in the first five minutes lol. i just turn those movies on and zone out for two hours thinking about something else half-asleep. overall it's a great experience every time and i highly recommend it but i gotta admit it doesn't really make me appreciate the art of cinema very much
Sounds like a waste of money tbh, who turns on a movie specifically to zone out... maybe listen to music and zone out that way it's not just completely pointless
@@liamcorr1215I’m sure it’s through a subscription they’re already paying for..plus if they choose to zone out to something I don’t think it rlly matters what the content is?😭
@@doubleaabattery7562 they said half-asleep, they're not wasting money, they're using the service they paid for, it would be a waste not to use it, and a couple dollars a month on Netflix isn't going to put you into bankruptcy
What I learned is Ryan Reynolds playing the same character every time just works no matter how much we wish it didn’t 😂 he’s like the Adam Sandler of action movies 😂
Being a bad actor means multiple things. He's the good kind, like Jake Gyllenhaal, very one note, but doesn't ruin his movies. On the other hand, you have Michael Rappaport, David Arquette, Michael Shannon, all of whom I'm convinced sat on Harvina Weinstein's casting couch to have a career.
It's not a good movie by any means (by which i mean its bad) but it's fun to watch when there's not much else and it's got ryan reynolds in it. my favorite genre. Wouldn't watch it again though.
@sleepydevilz "If I had a fun time watching a movie, I will think it’s a good movie". yesc eaxtlyyyyyy. Like sometimes there are specific things that make me think "god this is bad" (i recently finished Grimm which was both entertaining and actually kinda bad) but if there are no obvious flaws, then its good so long as its entertaining. Im even able to look past a certain amount of obvious flaws if its entertaining enough, since thats what im watching movies for- entrtainment. Sure, id prefer that entertainment to also be good but its not a prerequisite.
The magnet part of the adam project was like the worst for me. The magnet is strong enough to stop a speeding bullet and make it accelerate at a rate that it penetrates the girl, but it isn't a strong enough magnet to pull the gun out of her hands or pull any other metal on the people?!?
I'm not ashamed to say I loved The Grey Man. Chris Evans is sick, Billy Bob Thornton kills it, and Ryan Gosling is awesome as a badass. I've watched it multiple times & still like it.
The irony of there being a Mint Mobil ad right before this. Also, I saw Taskmaster while you were scrolling. That would be my choice every single time.
I wouldn’t put the arms project in the same category as 6 underground bright and the grey man.also ryan Reynolds has been playing the same character since blade 3 lol.
I feel like Albert Einstein’s quote is at least somewhat relevant here ("You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother”). I’ll never call a movie even 'average' if I can't even coherently explain their plots to my grandmother.
You're not gonna believe this, but my ex and I started a thing where we'd sit down and watch Another Ryan Reynolds Action Movie™️ and we truly truly enjoyed Red Notice and The Adam Project. This video feels so weirdly targeted towards me
Ive rewatched the Red Notice like 3 times (and would probably watch it again) and the Adam Project twice, as I rlly like to rewatch movies for anxiety reasons. Anyways, I genuinely liked the Red Notice. Is it kinda bad and very silly? Yes. Is it also fun and entertaining to watch? Also yes. I love not-great movies that are fun to watch and just turn your brain off to.
Fun fact a possible reason The Rock did not fight the guy in jail is because he has a clause in his contracts stating he cannot lose any major fights to protect his "branding"
Do you think these streaming companies have board meetings where they collectively decide how to make films that work as background noise for your cereal time? Maybe they could throw in some AI voices and Vine boom noises at every location change to grab your attention while you're doing something else.
I watched red notice with my family shortly after it came out and the only thing I remembered about it was I thought the rock and Ryan Reynolds characters should kiss
A good actual twist for Bright would have been for the Orc Cop to turn out to be a bright. Theyd have still established the idea of non-elves being brights by saying like 1 in a million are human but it would be a legitimate twist and more thematically resonate.
Actually really enjoyed Grey Man. Might not be a great movie, but it’s a pretty entertaining action movie with good acting, nicely performed fighting and chasing scenes and beautiful shots. To me it’s like most action movies. If you like the genre it’s enjoyable.
I love Gray Man. I've watched it three times and I'm sure by the end of next year it'll be five or six times. I don't like watching movies While sitting on my phone but what I do like is a mindless movie with fun actors and a very unneccessary plot. It's just great to come home from work or take a break from uni and watch some fun movie that has absolutely no purpose except for this exact one.
I wanted to really like Bright because I'm like 'hey what if LOTR had Orcs and Elves remain with humans? What if the War of the Ring was a real event and we fast forward to modern times?' But no it's just sorta okayish at best. And yeah I love the idea of 'ew Orcs aren't they always the bad guys?'
after watching Arrival (2016), it ruined how I watch other sci-fi films. Don't get me wrong, I love that film. I love it to the point that it sets the bar too high for other sci-fi films. The story, the cinematography, the profound message, everything about it moved me more than any sci-fi action film I have watched. Until now, I am still craving that profoundness in a film that has never yet been achieved by any of these mass-produced aNetflix films in the past years.
I tried watching 6 Underground as some mindless entertainment. I shut it off during the second "intro monologue" which just pissed me off. Obviously showing is better than telling, but I understand that telling is a great money saver and easier. But it was like the writers came up with two "cool" speaking intros and decided to put them both in because they fell in love with both. "Just put them in twenty minutes apart. They won't even notice." I was watching it as some mindless entertainment and it was just too mindless for even that.
...Welp. The testament to the 6 underground quality/memorability is the fact, that I have been considering to watch it for some time (because Netflix recommended it to me) only to now discover that I already did. I completely forgot, and that happens really really rarely :D
I've been a big fan of Ryan Ryanolds since 2 guys a girl and a pizza place, Reno Renolds only ever plays himself. He is like Adam Sandler, without the dramatic roles. He didn't play Deadpool, he IS Deadpool, and can only play that.
Netflix has done a lot of those generic "person with guns or team of people with guns does things" movies that hold themselves almost entirely on the charisma of a popular actor and maybe a famous director. *"Triple Frontier"* is another that comes to mind, it has both Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal on it (plus other known actos whose names I can't remember right now) as the leaders of a team of soldiers who steal a drug kingpin's fortune and have to survive crossing the mountains... Zack Snyder's *"Army of the Dead"* also uses a lot of the Netflix formula, althought Snyder's direction gives it a lot of personality, it even had an spin-off prequel *"Army of Thieves"* that I didn't watch... *"The Old Guard"* with Charlize Theron I suppose also counts as one of this (or maybe not, I don't remember if it was a direct-to-streaming film or if it premiered in theaters)
I’m glad you made this video because once I watched red notice and 6 underground, I wanted more movies like it, so Ty pinely, for telling movies to watch even though you don’t like them
Yeah, I generally don't watch spy movies but I liked Red Notice quite a bit. I can't really get into the silly action of a lot of movies, but I actually watched it a couple of times and found it enjoyable.
In 6 underground, the monologs delivered R.R. Reynolds are what is known as a soliloquy. A soliloquy is when a character speech is only meant to be heard by them and the audience. it's usually used to convey the characters' inner emotions. "to be or not to be" - is a soliloquy. when once a device used by a previous director to great effect, now just a mashed into a string of other devices, like titles cards, to make the director seem better than better than they are.
I liked The Grey Man 🤷♂️. And Bright had a bunch of potential, especially with its anime. But damn, that love a ton movie fumbled said potential hard. Wouldn't mind seeing more of it in anime form though. Also, the only '6 Underground' I like is the song by Sneaker Pimps. Iykyk.
Personally I really enjoyed Red Notice and The Adam Project. They weren’t groundbreaking or anything but they were fun and funny and a good distraction from the hell that is real life right now. The other movies sound kinda ridiculous though and I feel fine passing on them.
Holy hell man. I stated this video and thought "I've never seen any of these" but as you went through the story, i kept realizing that I did infact turn them on and they became background noise to other crap I was doing. That was such an odd feeling.
I liked the bullet being pulled through the air by the magnet, but why doesn't the gun full of bullets get pulled toward to magnet before it is even fired, kinda seems like the bullets aren't magnetic until they are fired, or the spherical magnet only affects a specific part of the room.
you keep saying ryan reynolds is "playing deadpool again" and its driving me nuts because he was in movies doing that for like a decade prior to deadpool, which is the whole reason he played deadpool. its not deadpool, its ryan reynolds. I'm sorry, I ranted, I love you pinely.
i think you were thinking of hitch when you brought up chuck. mightve been mixing it up with "i now pronounce you chuck and larry" because of kevin james
I like how pinely refers to characters in movies only by the name of the actors, so when he describes the plot of the Adam project it sounds like a documentary about Ryan Reynolds’s changing his outlook on life
The other thing that bothers me lately is the backing track music often drowns out dialogue. We watch Netflix with subtitles as we miss dialogue- and we have no hearing issues.
Considering the age gap, you could be 80 doddering around still demanding the long dead corpe of ryan Reynolds be dug up to star in every. single. movie.
I’ve watched Bright but only because I’m a fan of the guy who made the languages for it and wanted to see them in action (which they don’t get much of, but whatever). This movie got the guy who did High Valyrian and Dothraki in to create not one but _two constructed languages_ for it and for what??? A couple of cool set pieces and half a dozen lines of dialogue??? Like I enjoyed seeing all of that but. why did the producers decide that was a level of effort needed for their mediocre Netflix action movie???
I have seen Red Notice and the Grey Man. Red Notice… happened. Me and my dad got into a big fight because our opposing worldviews clashed just that hard on certain elements. Not worth the emotional distress for either of us. Which is a shame because I like heist movies. I called Grey Man discount discount Captain America Civil War and I stand by that. Even down to the casting it’s a much worse version of Civil War, a movie about which I can discuss my lukewarm opinion all day. Looking back it’s also got some elements of the Borne Identity. Pretty generic. Very forgettable. Just rewatch a favorite sitcom instead of sitting through these two films. I watched the Lindsay Ellis video on Bright. After George Floyd I do not want to touch that film with a 12 foot pole. It’s not a good enough drama to make up for the bad comedy nor a good enough comedy to make up for the bad dramatic elements. The world-building is shit and if you want a flawed but much better thought out racism allegory just watch zootopia, and if you want a fantasy buddy comedy there’s plenty to choose from. Again I haven’t seen Bright but from what I understand that’s the consensus.
I remember my friend put on the Red Notice during her birthday party, which I completely blocked out of my mind until this video. It was truly one of the most average movies I've had to sit through. I remember sitting on the couch the whole time just wishing we were watching anything else lol
Umm, I think Jennifer Garner is Mark Ruffalo’s wife and Zoe Saldana is Ryan Reynold’s wife. Otherwise that would mean Ryan Reynold’s is playing a character who is 1/2 or 1/4 black…
six underground? like the famously calm, relaxing, chill, trip-hop sneakerpimps song? lol also, the ryan reynolds “thing” makes more sense when you realize anytime he opens his mouth when he’s not in a movie, he’s trying to sell you shit. he comes across as a used car salesman to me all the time.
I didn't get the Men In Black 🕶 type fantasy federal agents. 🤔 those plot points, characters were never made sense. Why were the LAPD cops afraid of them?
Not only are movies dark. But the contrast in volume is crazy. One moment, everyone is whispering and you can't hear a damn thing so you jack the volume to max. Next moment, there is a loud noise that makes you deaf. Movies are literally unwatchable. You can't see or hear anything.
the things ryan reynolds made in canada before he became Ryan Reynolds (tm) in two guys and a girl are really a trip. in one movie he was a white kid raised in india with an indian accent and fondness for gandhi and it was played 100% straight

The main reason why movies are dark is to hide bad cgi or just hide cgi. When in a bright scene you see everything so you can easily see the flaws. With dark or night scenes you can hide the flaws with darkness.
“Best way to make good cgi is to make it dark and out of focus”
@AngeW-vm4kx Yeah, the dark is a good effects masker and isn't inherently bad. Think of The Thing. Just as long as your dark lighting doesn't feel out of place with the movie.

"Ryan Reynolds plays the same character in all three films"
Well now, that's not fair...Ryan plays the same character in *every* film. And that character is Van Wilder.
He’s charismatic enough to get away with it. For now…
It is one method to acting. Kinda being yourself and act as if you would be say a lawyer who is this intelligent with this mindstate blablabla but it is in core you, like that's 100% Anthony Hopkins for example.

lmaooo yeah my was the same, but after the first she began to get just as wary as me. it usually ends in us watching an older, better movie.
It's kinda funny because back in the day that's how a lot of people choose what to watch, if a movie had Tom Hanks in it, or Tom Cruise people would flock to the theatres or rent it on a whim on blockbuster and it would probably be at least decent, a lot of the movies coming out now just seems to be made filling a checklist, appealing to the general audience with big name cast, using a popular IP's and pandering to the internet crowd, it doesn't matter that it's good as long as it has a trailer that makes it look better than it actually is, and that it's a reboot or a sequel they think people will go see it, they really seem to do the lowest effort posible on all fronts and still end up bloating the budget to 100M to avoid paying taxes on the full profits

It's the same w me and my wife. She doesn't keep up with things.
The Adam project is honestly such a fun little romp if you ignore the weak sci-fi stuff. Just don’t take it seriously and go for a ride.
All the core stuff works really well, can see myself rewatching it
Also has Percy Jackson in it so immediate 10/10

Yeah I thought the relationship/banter between young and old Adam was really good and well-worth all the less than 100% engaging stuff in the movie. don't know why people feel the need to bully a talented kid actor so much haha
@@mcowley895 honestly!! The kid actor did a great job, especially since he was supposed to act like another actor.
Ok but in that Gray Man movie, Chris Evan’s’ delivery of “because I got shot in the ASS, Suzanne!” never fails to make me laugh.
What gets me most is when Chris said “Let’s kill this Ken doll” or something along those lines because it’s an obvious jab at Ryan’s upcoming Barbie movie at the time.
The Gray man was actually pretty good !
did you know it was based off a book of the same name?@@Tsukiiyo7
For me this movie has lack of suspense. It has too little character building that I didn't really care what happends to any of those characters... but hey part happends in Prague... and they trash our pretty tram and buildings on the Náměstí republiky.

Ryan Renalds has never not played deadpool. He was deadpool when playing green lantern. He was deadpool in his earlier movies as well. He is always typecast as the sarcastic guy who makes a lot of quips. Like all the time. Nothing has changed mor will ever change about that.
So..Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds?

I watched The Adam Project with my family. It was a good movie to watch as a family with a then nine year old, and an eighteen year old , and completely different tastes in movies.
Many movies that people seem to assume no one pays attention to are also just movies made for people who don’t usually discuss movies online.
Netflix is very open to making "background" content, suggesting that that is what takes up most watchtime.
@@noahjoyner8232 it isn’t even “background” watching all the time. If I sit down with my family to watch something, we are actively watching it. But I won’t get passionate enough to talk about it at length, at least not with people who weren’t there when we watched it.
We'll have you watch any original movie?
@@trinelarson6655 of course I have. I watch plenty of different movies, depending on who I watch with, and the movies I get excited about are original. But in settings like watching movies with my parents and younger siblings when I visit, this sort of movie is a common denominator that we can agree on. The point of watching these movies usually isn’t to see a masterclass in cinema, but to have a good time with whoever you are watching with.
Terminally online people (like RUclipsrs/“influencers”) tend to assume everyone else is terminally online too
In fairness, Ryan Reynolds has been playing this character -- essentially himself -- since 2 Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place which was waaaaayyyy before Deadpool
So has Sam Rockwell, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich. Its okay when introverts do it.

I’ve never understood why people hate actors who play the same character in every movie, so long as them being hired to play these characters fits the character they are playing, I don’t see the problem lol.

@@SirFlooberisit’s because they aren’t acting. they’re memorizing a loose script and doing the same thing in a different “role” if you want to watch that go to youtube. it’s lower quality content disguised as a multi million dollar movie
It's funny that Netflix went so hard against the writer strike, And yet at the same time their film output embodies every single complaint that push the writers to the picket line.
For the whole ordeal the biggest complaint I heard was that writers were getting canned after like the second draft, and films were going to shoot without a script supervisor on staff. And I have never felt the effects of those decisions more than in these five movies.
I was thinking about that too!
It is infuriating how much they spend on these movies. Like holy fuck just pay the staff a living wage
I think the most insidious thing about these movies is that I had completely forgotten they existed, let alone that I watched them, so listening to you describe them had them flashing in my mind like they were horrid visions from the universe. thank you pinely.
somehow, bright was hyped up as hell. that's most of what I remembered about it
These are the movies that halfway through you realise you have seen it already, they just completely leave your brain as soon as they are done
I remember 6 underground. Ridiculous Bay movie with zero logic, but I always will take a bay action flick.
I heard “Orc racism” as “Orca Racism” and immediately began trying to sort the concept out in my head and then I saw the picture of the Orc from Bright and realized my error. I was ready to file away the fact that a movie based on Orca Rasicm was a thing. This is the danger of listening to RUclips, in the background, while I work.
The plot of Shark Tale 2
To be fair the entire story of that movie is pretty much orcs vs humans vs elfs or basically blacks vs whites vs mexicans it is very much a movie solely based on racism and like every other race based film the black cop ends up being part elf and liking the orcs bridging the divide between all races its honestly pretty corny but the action makes up for it
The orcs usually resemble hispanics/chicanos and the elfs are distinguished almost god like beings that are given a huge boost in society just from being an elf and of course the main cop in the movie is black
Lock Up Willy 😂
Free willy movies, those are basically about orca racism
Honestly, even given 1'000 years, I would never have guessed that the 13 Going On 30 Cinematic Universe would turn out with Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo giving birth to Ryan Reynolds, who ALSO ends up going back in time to teach and learn wholesome lessons from his younger self. It's the kind of magic only the most talented Hollywood writers could create.
Fun fact! These action/spy movies like the bond films do change locations a billion times for financial reasons. They get sponsored by or get discounts for shooting in cities because film promotion is very good for local business. That’s why they will never stop making these same spy action movies. Both the cities and films financially prosper.
It's funny how Mexico City did not have a day of the dead parade for the holiday, but because the James Bond film had it they started doing one for tourism reasons.
Actually it’s been shown that most movies don’t help cities or towns
James bond, marvel do but others actually hurt cities
I think it makes sense for spies working against international regimes to visit places outside the US/UK
i feel like bright is a tolkienverse modern au fanfiction with will smith. it makes more sense this way because if it was trying to do real world racism metaphors, the dark lord thing really doesn't make sense, but if it is the imagination of someone who has just watched or read the lord of the rings, it lines up pretty perfectly. plus them never following through with the dark lord in the first place makes it feel very much like those fanfiction-to-published-book pipeline novels, where you can absolutely feel this is a world with pre-existing conditions that you would understand if you knew what universe the fanfiction was initially set in but obviously don't now that it was rewritten to be a supposedly original work. in which case the dark lord is obviously just sauron.
Holy shit you are so correct. The wands are just the elven rings ----
That's incredibly astute and I think you're correct
It's still totally bad hot takes on police racism. A cop character references the Black Lives Matter movement for a joke. A movie can be two things.
The unpolished fanfiction vibes you're picking up are also probably because Netflix was firing writers before they were done and filming with unrefined scripts.
What if we did Ryan Reynolds as Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds in a movie. Then he realizes the script is just a set up to go topple governments and Gal Godot shows up for some reason
Shut up and take this 250 million!
These are the "I have my kids every other weekend and we have to do something together, so let's do the thing that requires the least effort" movies.

The Grey Man cost 200 million but I’ve somehow never seen any advertising or heard anybody else mention it. I’ve at least heard of Red Notice and Bright but not the others.

For some reason Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling have always been intrinsically intertwined in my head. It's weird but it's like their carreers in the public eye mirror eachother and you can't have one without the other. It just seems like a given until i remeber it's basically just some weird shit in my imagination. Does anyone else experience this or do i just have a very strange way of thinking?
I do the same thing I thought they were brothers for awhile as well 😭i think it’s bc they’re white guys w/ the same haircut who look vaguely similar and have the same name
yes me too
same, during the rise of both ryans i thought they were the same person and even now i always think of the Other Ryan when i see One Ryan
they just have the same name and general blandly attractive face so your brain made a connection. their careers are not mirrors.
In my head the only difference is that Ryan Reynolds is like, a golden retriever of a man. Just a guy who seems generally happy to be in existence. Ryan Gosling is hot for straight people, Reynolds at least makes my little gay self giggle.

If someone's ancestor was a follower of Ivan the Terrible or Genghis Khan, we wouldn't still hold that against them just because they are the same race. And that was a lot less time ago. They actually say 2000 BC, so more like 4000 years ago. No-matter how bad a "dark lord" was, the idea that 4000 years later this is still a vivid image to people alive now, is just not how historical memory works in the real world. Even how they remember the past in Bright is an OTP fantasy trope.
They were probably trying to draw parallels to medieval Europeans blaming Jewish people for the crucifixion and hating them because of that.
Or, on second thought, I am just interested in history and put more thought into this than they did.
@@Guineapigsreadingbooks I think if that was their intent, they probably wouldn't have given the orcs characteristics that resemble the african american community. My personal theory is that they fell into the trap a lot of people trying to write about allegories for racism do; they decide to make a logical reason for the prejudice, when in the real world, prejudice is not something logical
@@Guineapigsreadingbooks That would be worse, as the relationship between race and religion in Judaism is even more complex, and even more nuance is lost if flattened out as one fantasy race. And if the idea of blaming them for the death of Jesus was broadly accepted, the main thing they were regarded for today, we would be living in some kind of alternate history dystopia. Will Smith would be playing a Nazi who slowly comes to see his Jewish partner as a real person. This is not too far from how the movie really plays out, but that would move it from clumsy analogy to wildly offensive.
@@esbenm6544 I am by no means saying that it would make it better, since it definitely would make it worse. I am simply trying to figure out this madness, and figured that they might just have read the first chapter of a book on the complex history of antisemitism, and decided to run with it.
They obviously put no thought into the implications of anything in this movie, or how problematic the transference to real life might be. The just threw a shit ton of things together. This parallel (if it was supposed to be there) feels more like a moment of „look, bad things in this world are similar to bad things in our world. So if it is bad in this world, it is bad in our world“ than an analysis of the irrationality of historical scapegoating.
It feels like Mormonism and their whole mark of Cain thing
I saw the second movie. The two things I remember about it were the Chopard product placements and seeing the Michael Bay director credit at the end and saying “It’s a Michael Bay movie…that makes sense.”

It's not a good movie by any means (by which i mean its bad) but it's fun to watch when there's not much else and it's got ryan reynolds in it. my favorite genre. Wouldn't watch it again though.
I didn't hate it. Drugs probably help 😂
@sleepydevilz this is the correct way to watch movies 😂👍
@sleepydevilz "If I had a fun time watching a movie, I will think it’s a good movie". yesc eaxtlyyyyyy. Like sometimes there are specific things that make me think "god this is bad" (i recently finished Grimm which was both entertaining and actually kinda bad) but if there are no obvious flaws, then its good so long as its entertaining. Im even able to look past a certain amount of obvious flaws if its entertaining enough, since thats what im watching movies for- entrtainment. Sure, id prefer that entertainment to also be good but its not a prerequisite.
The magnet part of the adam project was like the worst for me. The magnet is strong enough to stop a speeding bullet and make it accelerate at a rate that it penetrates the girl, but it isn't a strong enough magnet to pull the gun out of her hands or pull any other metal on the people?!?
im very much here for Pinely doing more film commentary and analysis
I'm not ashamed to say I loved The Grey Man. Chris Evans is sick, Billy Bob Thornton kills it, and Ryan Gosling is awesome as a badass. I've watched it multiple times & still like it.

Ive rewatched the Red Notice like 3 times (and would probably watch it again) and the Adam Project twice, as I rlly like to rewatch movies for anxiety reasons.

A good actual twist for Bright would have been for the Orc Cop to turn out to be a bright. Theyd have still established the idea of non-elves being brights by saying like 1 in a million are human but it would be a legitimate twist and more thematically resonate.
I love that in "Grey" either Coratia and Turkey are cities or Bangkok and Berlin are countries
That "Croatia" location with a castle next to the sea doesn't even exist.
Actually really enjoyed Grey Man. Might not be a great movie, but it’s a pretty entertaining action movie with good acting, nicely performed fighting and chasing scenes and beautiful shots. To me it’s like most action movies. If you like the genre it’s enjoyable.
I love Gray Man. I've watched it three times and I'm sure by the end of next year it'll be five or six times. I don't like watching movies While sitting on my phone but what I do like is a mindless movie with fun actors and a very unneccessary plot. It's just great to come home from work or take a break from uni and watch some fun movie that has absolutely no purpose except for this exact one.
max landis wrote Bright, and he absolutely thought there would be sequels. he thought it was going to be 'his Star Wars'.
Oh god cringe
The worse part is that someone already did something like that, and did it better, but with Aliens in the 80s and 90s. Alien Nation
I wanted to really like Bright because I'm like 'hey what if LOTR had Orcs and Elves remain with humans? What if the War of the Ring was a real event and we fast forward to modern times?' But no it's just sorta okayish at best. And yeah I love the idea of 'ew Orcs aren't they always the bad guys?'
after watching Arrival (2016), it ruined how I watch other sci-fi films. Don't get me wrong, I love that film. I love it to the point that it sets the bar too high for other sci-fi films. The story, the cinematography, the profound message, everything about it moved me more than any sci-fi action film I have watched. Until now, I am still craving that profoundness in a film that has never yet been achieved by any of these mass-produced aNetflix films in the past years.
Arrival is a goddamn masterpiece. Now, it is nothing like Arrival, but have you seen Annihilation? It's a great sci-fi film as well.
I tried watching 6 Underground as some mindless entertainment. I shut it off during the second "intro monologue" which just pissed me off. Obviously showing is better than telling, but I understand that telling is a great money saver and easier. But it was like the writers came up with two "cool" speaking intros and decided to put them both in because they fell in love with both. "Just put them in twenty minutes apart. They won't even notice." I was watching it as some mindless entertainment and it was just too mindless for even that.
...Welp. The testament to the 6 underground quality/memorability is the fact, that I have been considering to watch it for some time (because Netflix recommended it to me) only to now discover that I already did. I completely forgot, and that happens really really rarely :D
6 Underground is actually a good parkour movie because almost all of the on-foot stunt work was performed by Storror.
I think that might be the only good thing.
I remember bright. Not because it was good but because in one scene in the background "Fuck Owen" was graffitied on the wall. My name is Owen.
I've been a big fan of Ryan Ryanolds since 2 guys a girl and a pizza place, Reno Renolds only ever plays himself. He is like Adam Sandler, without the dramatic roles. He didn't play Deadpool, he IS Deadpool, and can only play that.
Me too ❤
Netflix did also produce the Extraction movies, theyre hella dope. I mean not like mind blowing, but solid action dad fantasy flicks.
Good action with a generic but decently executed story, I liked them. It helps to have charismatic actors
Netflix has done a lot of those generic "person with guns or team of people with guns does things" movies that hold themselves almost entirely on the charisma of a popular actor and maybe a famous director. *"Triple Frontier"* is another that comes to mind, it has both Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal on it (plus other known actos whose names I can't remember right now) as the leaders of a team of soldiers who steal a drug kingpin's fortune and have to survive crossing the mountains... Zack Snyder's *"Army of the Dead"* also uses a lot of the Netflix formula, althought Snyder's direction gives it a lot of personality, it even had an spin-off prequel *"Army of Thieves"* that I didn't watch... *"The Old Guard"* with Charlize Theron I suppose also counts as one of this (or maybe not, I don't remember if it was a direct-to-streaming film or if it premiered in theaters)
Ryan Reynolds had played the same character in every film he's ever done
i actually folded laundry while playing the adam project 😂 definite “background movie”
I’m glad you made this video because once I watched red notice and 6 underground, I wanted more movies like it, so Ty pinely, for telling movies to watch even though you don’t like them
Haha no worries, its just my personal preference at the end of the day
Yeah, I generally don't watch spy movies but I liked Red Notice quite a bit. I can't really get into the silly action of a lot of movies, but I actually watched it a couple of times and found it enjoyable.
In 6 underground, the monologs delivered R.R. Reynolds are what is known as a soliloquy. A soliloquy is when a character speech is only meant to be heard by them and the audience.
it's usually used to convey the characters' inner emotions. "to be or not to be" - is a soliloquy. when once a device used by a previous director to great effect, now just a mashed into a string of other devices, like titles cards, to make the director seem better than better than they are.
I liked The Grey Man 🤷♂️.
And Bright had a bunch of potential, especially with its anime.
But damn, that love a ton movie fumbled said potential hard. Wouldn't mind seeing more of it in anime form though.
Also, the only '6 Underground' I like is the song by Sneaker Pimps. Iykyk.
These movies are why Princess Jane and her AI movies will win in the end

Personally I really enjoyed Red Notice and The Adam Project. They weren’t groundbreaking or anything but they were fun and funny and a good distraction from the hell that is real life right now. The other movies sound kinda ridiculous though and I feel fine passing on them.
After I watched red notice I was so upset with myself for paying attention. Truly day light robbery
i really liked the grey man, ryan gosling leads well and the film is stylish
Holy hell man. I stated this video and thought "I've never seen any of these" but as you went through the story, i kept realizing that I did infact turn them on and they became background noise to other crap I was doing. That was such an odd feeling.
I liked the bullet being pulled through the air by the magnet, but why doesn't the gun full of bullets get pulled toward to magnet before it is even fired, kinda seems like the bullets aren't magnetic until they are fired, or the spherical magnet only affects a specific part of the room.
i think we should add the assassins wifes bodyguard in this list
you keep saying ryan reynolds is "playing deadpool again" and its driving me nuts because he was in movies doing that for like a decade prior to deadpool, which is the whole reason he played deadpool. its not deadpool, its ryan reynolds. I'm sorry, I ranted, I love you pinely.
Walker Scobell carries The Adam Project on his back
i think you were thinking of hitch when you brought up chuck. mightve been mixing it up with "i now pronounce you chuck and larry" because of kevin james

I like how pinely refers to characters in movies only by the name of the actors, so when he describes the plot of the Adam project it sounds like a documentary about Ryan Reynolds’s changing his outlook on life
Ryan Reynolds has been playing the same character since Van Wilder. He's always been the quip guy. Pre Deadpool
1:22 he almost thought Ryan Goslin was Ryan Reynolds 😂😂😂
The other thing that bothers me lately is the backing track music often drowns out dialogue. We watch Netflix with subtitles as we miss dialogue- and we have no hearing issues.
Considering the age gap, you could be 80 doddering around still demanding the long dead corpe of ryan Reynolds be dug up to star in every. single. movie.
I watched Bright, at least twice, but even so I can only assume your summary is correct because I remember nothing.
I’ve watched Bright but only because I’m a fan of the guy who made the languages for it and wanted to see them in action (which they don’t get much of, but whatever). This movie got the guy who did High Valyrian and Dothraki in to create not one but _two constructed languages_ for it and for what??? A couple of cool set pieces and half a dozen lines of dialogue??? Like I enjoyed seeing all of that but. why did the producers decide that was a level of effort needed for their mediocre Netflix action movie???
I enjoyed The Grey Man and Red Notice, but I agree for all the movies - Netflix movies put actors in their movies to play the same person.
I have seen Red Notice and the Grey Man. Red Notice… happened. Me and my dad got into a big fight because our opposing worldviews clashed just that hard on certain elements. Not worth the emotional distress for either of us. Which is a shame because I like heist movies.
I called Grey Man discount discount Captain America Civil War and I stand by that. Even down to the casting it’s a much worse version of Civil War, a movie about which I can discuss my lukewarm opinion all day. Looking back it’s also got some elements of the Borne Identity. Pretty generic. Very forgettable. Just rewatch a favorite sitcom instead of sitting through these two films.
I watched the Lindsay Ellis video on Bright. After George Floyd I do not want to touch that film with a 12 foot pole. It’s not a good enough drama to make up for the bad comedy nor a good enough comedy to make up for the bad dramatic elements. The world-building is shit and if you want a flawed but much better thought out racism allegory just watch zootopia, and if you want a fantasy buddy comedy there’s plenty to choose from. Again I haven’t seen Bright but from what I understand that’s the consensus.
I remember my friend put on the Red Notice during her birthday party, which I completely blocked out of my mind until this video. It was truly one of the most average movies I've had to sit through. I remember sitting on the couch the whole time just wishing we were watching anything else lol
Umm, I think Jennifer Garner is Mark Ruffalo’s wife and Zoe Saldana is Ryan Reynold’s wife. Otherwise that would mean Ryan Reynold’s is playing a character who is 1/2 or 1/4 black…
"The Gray Man... also exists"
It might not be Ryan Reynolds, but the mandatory Ryan requirement is still filled in that movie
six underground? like the famously calm, relaxing, chill, trip-hop sneakerpimps song? lol
also, the ryan reynolds “thing” makes more sense when you realize anytime he opens his mouth when he’s not in a movie, he’s trying to sell you shit. he comes across as a used car salesman to me all the time.
The Rock too.
The fact that the Orc was not the actual "Bright" just pissed me right off.
I didn't get the Men In Black 🕶 type fantasy federal agents. 🤔 those plot points, characters were never made sense. Why were the LAPD cops afraid of them?
this is the video where i discover ryan reynolds and ryan gosling are two different actors... never so stunned in my whole yt life
I only watched 6 underground for Dave Franco and it turned out he was on screen for like 30 seconds
I really enjoyed The Gray Man. Just a bit of fun. Chris evans plays a great sociopathic killer too.
Not only are movies dark. But the contrast in volume is crazy. One moment, everyone is whispering and you can't hear a damn thing so you jack the volume to max. Next moment, there is a loud noise that makes you deaf.
Movies are literally unwatchable. You can't see or hear anything.
the things ryan reynolds made in canada before he became Ryan Reynolds (tm) in two guys and a girl are really a trip. in one movie he was a white kid raised in india with an indian accent and fondness for gandhi and it was played 100% straight
White guys playing Indians is a Canarian trope.
I'm not sure how powerful a magnet would need to be to turn a bullet around like that, but I'm thinking it would be alot
Dude. I'm a media producer from Finnland and I have that exact same dumb "Broccozilla" poster in my living room as you do. And my dad has the same picture on his t-shirt xD How very oddly specific poster.
