Marvel’s Antman being a flop and Cocaine Bear being very entertaining isn’t what i was expecting. real cinema is back!
Cocaine bear is what Scorsese talked about when he meant cinema
It may be rather premature to call Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania a flop. It’s only been in cinemas for a week.
I saw it miles away lol marvel sucks completely now
Did Antman flopped?
@@juabenrodriguez9113 It hasn't... Yet. However, I think the comment refers to quality, not box office necessarily
I was in a theater in Philadelphia, and right after the bear goes on a violent rampage there was silence for a couple seconds. This lady at the back went "This bear is... turrible." It got the biggest laugh in the theatre. Worth it just for that.
And then everybody clapped
@@e.sk8rbkr this kind of stuff happens all the time at theaters it's not really hard to believe
@@Regu269 right? that's the only reason i like to go to the cinema. i also don't go to the ones where ppl think you should not talk lol
@@e.sk8rbkr r/nothinghappens
@@e.sk8rbkr I am going to retell the story of this interaction, of someone reacting that way to a story so mundane--and see if my story, in turn, is scoffed at as clearly fabricated.
In norway people dont cheer at the end of movies for some reason, i started clapping when it ended and singlehandedly managed to make the first ever cheer in a norwegian cinema. It was that fucking fun
Amazing
... people cheer at the end of movies ?
@@Th0cast from what i gathered everywhere else. Either fucking way its an accomplishment
people cheering in movies is really only an american thing
@@Th0cast only the worst kind
The movie is a masterpiece of B genre cinema. The welcome hut to the ambulance scene was perfection.
The movie was absolutely terrible imo
I'm surprised they would ever put "Cocaine" in a movie title.
I've seen at least one foreign poster that calls the film "Crazy Bear".
I’m surprised they would ever drop cocaine into a forest for some bear to ingest but eh 🤷♂️ whaya gon do?
And the kids actually ended up eating cocaine themselves, which surprised me.
Cocaine Cowboys?
same
I'm in Kentucky and a local theater actually has the very bear on display today and tomorrow. RIP Pablo Eskobear you absolute legend
Also I can’t believe this is Liotta’s last film. Rip an absolute legend
Edit: I was wrong and have been made a fool. This is my paradise
according to letterboxd he was in charlie days upcoming directorial debut 'Fools Paradise'
You can’t believe it because it isn’t even true. Not sure why everyone is saying that
Man I wish we had more films where Ray Liotta was in a starring role. It just baffles me how you have such amazing actors sometimes who have so much potential for great films and stories, and kind of don’t get the chance to show it? He did some really incredible work tho whenever he did pop up and still a few projects I need to see, but yeah man. A legend.
Actually…he died in his sleep at may also he was 67 while filming dangerous waters in Dominique republic, rip an absolute legend😢
Not that much of a fool tbh, ive heard it was his last film that was released while he was still alive, which is sicc enough imo!
4:02
Movie: “what the fuck is wrong with that bear”
Karsten: “PERFECT.”
So around the time this was coming out, I read an article of a group of wild boar that had, in fact, snorted the cocaine. And I could never shake the idea of how that would be a better movie. Because what's scarier: ONE bear on cocaine, or 30 to 50 wild boar... on cocaine? (Also, Razorback comes out on Bluray next month, so killer big movies have been on my mind).
sequel?!! "Cocaine Boar(s)"
Actually a more realistic concept, some snort more some snort too much. And then they mob
Somehow the boars and the snorting just make me link it to Succession. Imagine the sequel being Succession's characters trapped in their secluded country home while cocaine boars attack! I would pay good money for that.
“Cocaine Boar” would make a great side sequel 😂
I think you sniffed out the sequel my dude
That ambulance scene is just the best thing I've seen in such a long time.
Cocaine Bear is a great companion to M3gan in a new genre I like to call Elevated Schlock. My main criticism of the film was with the editing. There was one scene where the St. Louis guys referencing seeing the dead hiker, and then they do a quick flashback to seeing the guy dead. Why was that a flashback? Why didn’t the film just cut to it earlier? Other than stuff like that, I enjoyed the film. I want to believe the film opening with Jane was Elizabeth Banks homaging Wet Hot American Summer and David Wain! As soon as I heard that song, I knew what tone the movie was going for.
Amazing this is going to do better for her rep than her Charlie's Angels vanity project.
I agree, I found all of the cutaways stupid. Some were unnecessary and others were trying to be on par with Family Guy cutaway gags.
@@cgimichaelmyers2806 The ones showing the teen gang after they had been killed and the one friend saying "We're moving to New York City together" was really good, and the cutaway showing the detective with his dog as he is dying was nice too. It's just that one flashback that seemed sloppy.
@@motherplayer The action in Cocaine Bear looked good, so it's safe to say Banks took something away from that film, even if it is kind of forgotten at this point.
"Elevated Schlock".... I like that a lot actually
Honestly this movie and Megan really is setting the movie scene for me in 2023. The year is off to a great start and really can't wait for movies the rest of the year. This movie was fucking hilarious and needs to win an Oscar.
Here’s to hoping black dynamite 2 suddenly comes out this year and becomes peak cinema
ok maybe an oscar is too much, but yea this was so fucking hilarious and i was NOT disappointed
Megan was actually good though, this movie sucked ass.
Haven’t seen Megan yet but cocaine bear was disappointing. I was expecting it to be funny and didn’t even come close to laughing once. Very dry basic humor .. maybe I’ll give it another try some time down the road
Karsten's views and perspective of the latest entries of cinematic classics that is Cocaine Bear is truly astonishing. Going from a calm and collective review and watching him unfold and lose his sanity from watching the movie perfectly parallels the way the film progresses. Your sir are truly are an expert in your craft, a pioneer of youtube film analysis and for that, I thank you.
(Though in all seriousness great review man, hope your doing well👍)
I live in Lexington Kentucky where cocaine bear resides last night they brought out pablo Escobear for the premier of the film and it was the single best movie experience I’ve ever been to I don’t care if the movie isn’t gonna win any awards
This movie was honestly perfect and actually I was super sold on them taking time to setup the characters.
Come to think of it.
White guy with a criminal father and a black friend, needing to find a bag of illegal contrabands, but find that an animal took it, and must survive out in the wild…..
Yeah, this movie is basically the plot of Kangaroo Jack.
Yah I actually enjoyed some of the more character based scenes
7:06 basically the premise of the entire movie
Character actress Margo Martindale is great as always.
my dad and i love old B-Movies and cocaine bear is truly one of the most movies we’ve ever seen
In terms of 2023 thrillers about bears, Winnie the Pooh: blood & honey failed and This film succeeded.
Actually, Cocaine Bear is somewhat the plot to Kangaroo Jack when you think about it….
@@osmanyousif7849 “somewhat”
Just wanna emphasize that
The Kentucky Theater in Lexington has borrowed the taxidermied cocaine bear for the movie’s opening weekend
We appreciate Karsten’s reviews. He offers the best insights.
truly
This movie was so good. I went in thinking that it would be a joke and came out happy, actually happy.
That doesn't happen a lot nowadays.
Also I died laughing when the bear did a line off the dudes leg 💀
Honestly, a highlight of cinema and really sets the mood for the movie
‘’This is cinema’’
-Martin Scorsese
This is like one of those movies you see on GTA billboards
I gotta hand it to the trailer (the reason I'm even watching this review), the entire vibe it gave me was basically... "Yes, you saw that title! "Yes, this concept is something Simpson, Family Guy, & Dexter's Lab would write for the funnies! "Yes, We are also writing it like that!" and "Yes, you get free memes, we get easy publicity & money, Everybody Wins!"
I think this is the first movie where I was laughing at every funny part and I think the movie wasn’t meant to be taken serious which is why to me it is my favorite movie that came out this year
I saw this with a friend today, and I gotta say I liked it. It was honestly what I expected from a movie with as weird as a title as "cocaine bear."
The ambulance scene, Holy Jesus
i sat there and watched this in the cinema, i was creasing, this film is so funny.
yes it was very cheesy and cringy in parts and yes i did think it had too many characters.
But for christ sake, its called fucking Cocaine Bear, and i came out happy
This
I personally liked a lot of the characters. And the sheer amount is offset by the amount that die, which allows for the other characters to get some more time.
u managed to explain EXACTLY how I felt while leaving the theater
i just saw the movie and i think everyone was drunk and or high (including myself) and it was just a really fun time i went with some friends and had a blast everyone was joking around- highly recommended if you wanna watch with some friends
Well as long as you all handled your shit better than the bear
Bro me and 13 other people went to watch cocaine bear and the whole theatre was laughing their head off
I watched it a couple days ago and thought it was a fairly decent film of giving its audience a horror comedy. I wish they did more practical effects rather than relying heavily on cgi. As well as wishing the humor was better throughout the film. But the moments it was really good got a chuckle or smile out of me. And at times I found myself rooting for the bear.
Just got out of a showing for Cocaine Bear and I 100% agree with your feelings and attitude toward the film.
a bear sniffing cocaine off a dead dude's severed leg
"thats cinema baby!"
I feel like from watching the video, I know what every scene of the movie is going to be like
SPOILER but a guy got two of his fingers shot off and they weren't even next to each other 💀💀
@@worm2326 then a dog ate 'em
on friday morning i loop watched 80 for brady until this video came out. thank you for saving me from the torture karsten.
This movie has been on my radar for the potential Raimi levels of comedy horror, and I hope studios take more chances at making horror fun again. M3gan was 2 hours of little-girl ptsd and a couple blink-and-you'll-miss-it kills.
"Written like worse versions of Coen brothers characters" kind of sums up the movie for me
saw it in the kentucky theatre (where they had the actual stuffed cocaine bear for opening weekend) with a packed audience (in a huge theater), cheers and constant laughter definitely improved my experience with it. this isn’t a movie to critically analyze, like at all.
It was a fun movie…it was never gonna be anything more than that, But I couldn’t help choking up seeing Ray Liotta for the last time
The fact that the bear's presence was sporadic worked int the film's favor. Over-expose it and that kills the effect.
I LOVEEEE YOUR VIDEOSSSSS KARSTEN
character actress margo martindale
So amazing to see Scott Seiss in the film - his content is absolutely hilarious!!
This truly is one of the movies of all time
one of the best movies ever , and seriously, I love it.
The movie is good for what it is. I wasn’t expecting much and was pleasantly surprised.
Watched it tonight and I agree with every point you make here. Very well put!
I loved the scene with the 1985 1080p VHS camcorder with a 2.39:1 color viewfinder. Camcorders always showed the tape format in the viewfinder too. 35mm still cameras have the same ratio.
The ads to these were wild
I feel like everyone had Low expectations and a little bar for it which made it better that it was so shit that it was good, like no one took the movie seriously at all, it’s one of those movies that you could sit down and enjoy it without actually giving a shit about it
i could fight cocaine bear
you could not but good luck tomorrow night girlie
Easy fight 100%
It’s kinda like Sharknado in weird sense, but I love how the writers knew it would just fall under Sharknado so they try to use a weird awkward twist with it by making a comedy with no one giving a fuck about the actual characters
It’s one of those movies that you could make fun of, with no real sense of giving a fuck
Funny review snippet on RT: "Cocaine Bear is just as good as it needs to be. If it were any better, it probably couldn’t call itself Cocaine Bear."
I feel the same way about you, with the comedy, but I think I left the movies thinking " oh, I thought it was going to try to be a comedy more, but it really wasn't that much of a comedy" and by halfway through when I accepted that, I'll realize that's not really what I wanted out of the movie. the absurd premise did enough for me, and the rest kind of just fell into place. bye no means wasn't perfect. some of the people storylines are definitely on an interesting, but there's a cocaine bear running around through it all, and the ending was pretty satisfying
Some of my favorite commentary from you. Very funny
Cocaine bear was the second best film I've watched this year. Banshees of Inisherin was best.
Cocaine bear knew exactly what it wanted to do, be a horror comedy and it didn't take itself seriously.
Thank you for making this video. I was flabbergasted when I saw a title as insane as "Cocaine Bear".
I mean, I've watched some freaky movies but this is really something. I'm hook!
I like the part when the bear said "it's sniffin' time" and sniffed all of the cocaine. Truly an emotional scene 😢😢😢
I thought it was surprisingly good. wasn't as funny as I expected, but it was more like heartwarming and had a better conclusion than I expected. also had a lot of cool shots and sound design that I wasn't expecting. some pretty effective comedic cutaways. idk, surprised me. I liked it a lot more than quantumania
The funniest part is when the detective goes to get off the gazebo
Me and my buddies went to see this on opening night, the theater was packed. It was absolute dog shit from start to end, that we paid money for, and we had the fucking time of our lives.
They went for some metaphors, at least. Well, one metaphor - the obvious one. See, the drug dealers are also looking for the cocaine at the same time as the bear's gobbling it up, and as soon as the boss grabs one bag of it, he immediately wants another one. They end up killing more people than necessary by fighting with the bear to grab the drugs, and it's never enough. Symbolism 101.
Film is in such a weird phase right now, i dont know whats going on
Watched this last night and, it was fine. But afterward I watched CRANK with Statham. Now THATS a cocaine movie
I can’t believe the Alden Ehrenreich was able to redeem himself from the God-Awful Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018).
80 for Brady and cocaine bear WILL be the Oscar frontrunners🙏
Listen. It has been a looong time since I had this much fun watching a movie.
Congrats to Karsten and @TheTimCracker for having youtubes 2 most iconic mustaches ever
that is indeed cinema, baby
To say cocaine bears oeuvre was quintessentially the most keskereques would be an understatement what incredible cinema must be spoken of in the same breath as Citizen Kane cinema history
All I’m thinking is “that poor bear”
Loved it. I laughed a lot. It's exactly what I thought it would be an more.
I have not laughed so hard in a long time. WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU LAUGHED AT SOMEONE GETTING MAULED BY A BEAR...A COCAINE BEAR!
This guy's dad owns Square Space, I swear to God.
I did not like this film actually and I am low key dissapointed.
I felt that the film tries way too hard to get the audience emotionally invested and all though there were a lot of hilarious moments in the film a big portion of the comedy was still very very bad.
Also for some reason all though it has a runtime of around 90 minutes, it still took a looooooong time for the film to genuiely get going.
My exact feelings too. And there were a bunch of people in the theatre laughing out loud too at the shock humor which I just didn’t get
@@LegitCactus yeah same
I definitely chuckled at times but I rolled my eyes twice as much
I walked into to this film having only heard about it for the first time 3 hours before. Only seeing the poster when I got into the cinema.
That Is how you should watch this film.
8/10
Just got back from the theatre, best movie I’ve ever seen
i could beat cocaine bear in hand to hand combat.
i wish more movies were like cocaine bear in that its not marvel or dc giving us uninteresting superhero movies that I just watch them to watch them. I was really exited for cocaine bear with their ads not being too reveling of the movie and the fact they advertised the movie on youtube was just amazing and should be done more. But the movie does have its flaws and I agree with your points. But I like what direction movies have been moving towards and hope there are more movies like cocaine bear.
Hey Karsty you got a review of Knock at the Cabin on the way for us?
Babylon review. Still waiting
1. cabin will be talked about in the what i watched this month
2. babylon got covered in the last what i watched but i may still make a full video essay on it somewhere down the line
I just saw this movie. It was amazing.
My only complaint is that the kills were predictable if you have seen lots of horror movies, I sat in theaters telling my grandma which characters were going to die with almost perfect accuracy
I just watched it for the first time at home and after I just thought yeah that's a movie I saw honestly just hoped for better
i flinched whenever i heard that margo martindale was in this movie
"I was hopping a movie about a bear on cocaine was better than fine" I´ll take that line to the grave thank you very much
i can’t believe that’s angry retail guy
I hated the ending since these people have known Syd for like 30 seconds and already they’re shouting lines like “you’re a terrible father” and the movie just assumes you think he’s the bad guy too, even though I don’t understand what Syd did wrong. If anything the bear was the villain and should have died at the end of the movie, but instead we get this cinematic Marvel shot of the 3 bears that screams “heck yeah we’re a family”
Honestly, I went to see Cocaine Bear and I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of said bear throughout the movie. It is a shame how this movie was Ray’s final.
personally i love that cocaine bear is already in on the joke because it makes the comedy feel that much more sincere, but that's just me :)
u should do a vid about evil dead 2 i want a more in depth review of something that is what ur looking for
This movie did better than Ant-Man.
No it didn’t.
@@nms7872 ant man sucked ass the acting was horrible
cocaine bear is a real movie?
saw it today and thought it was amazing
Bro everyone if they squarespace like disney never villain again lol
My friend went to watch it in a suit and now I feel like I half to aswell
Best bit was when the bear did cocaine and said it’s cocaining time
Cocaine Bear was the movie ever
its a high octane madcap thrill ride
Truly Peak Cinema
Wait, this is actually a real movie 💀
