I love that one of the adverts for this film had a voiceover say something like "in a world with reboots and sequels.... one film dares to be original..."
right.
You really want something out of this right? There are like 8 comments of u already wtf?
@@bbvabancomer8764 I keep thinking of things to say while watching

I just can't get over the fact that the game the whole movie is based around is basically Mafia City
Thats how movie business works!

@some dude i'm SO RaNDOm xxxddddddd
"It's nothing personal I just don't like the guy, personally." I'm gonna steal that for later, that's a great line
The whole humour is just "woah dude what if there was a farting unicorn rainbow with epic bacon awesomeness?" Go back to 2012 and stay there.
I still can't believe that sort of humor was ever a thing. I'm still convinced it was all a psyop by the pork industry to sell more bacon.
Seriously like even Adventure Time grew up
Epic bacon
Yeah, what was with the internet's obsession with bacon back then?
Sounds like Adventure Time back in the day
It's refreshing hearing them almost getting genuinely angry about this. I'm sick of people saying things like "oh it's just harmless fun if you don't like it just don't watch it", like this is everything that popular entertainment is anymore and it's genuinely worth getting mad about.
Chill it's literally just a movie
@@ludvig2968 Think you completely missed his point.
@@jamesmccomb9525 probably
people are too eager to settle for mediocrity
The problem with that “dumb fun” mentality is that now it sells, even if you go to the cinema and walk out having just generally been mildly entertained at best, they still have your ticket sale.
What it’s saying to the huge production companies is; why release an interesting, well-conceived, well-produced but very expensive piece of cinema, when they can just shit out some unoriginal Ryan Reynolds vehicle with minimal effort and see the same return?
In terms of the pure figures, Blade Runner 2049 and Free Guy are the same. In fact, Free Guy is probably better to them because it cost less, but made more. Even though (in my opinion at least) Blade Runner 2049 is a beautiful piece of art and Free Guy is a 2-hour wet fart directly into your face.
Basically, greed is killing art and shit like Free Guy is to blame.
The shot where a young kid is watching Ryan Reynolds on an old tv with his family in a broken down shack in a third world county made me fucking loose it.
Yeahhhh. Who the fuck does that?
As if anyone from a third world country would use what little resources they have to watch a fucking fictional character play a video game?
@@pierrebegley2746 my man just because someone live in a third world country,doesnt mean they cant watch movies. *"resources"* , they live in a backwards country,not in a jungle.
@@zackattack9228 a lot of the time it DOES. Because they fuckin starve then tend to be preoccupied with working
@W Shiflet Time is a resource. You need time to do almost anything.
@W Shiflet Seriously, How do you make food without cooking it for a CERTAIN TIME?
I thought I was crazy for disliking Free Guy so much after I saw it, and I went in with good expectations. If I wasn't there with a friend I would have walked out of the movie at 10 different points.
i didnt really expect much from the film, as soon as i saw "a npc becomes self-aware in a video game' i knew it would be full of referances
They basically are now making "Epic Movie", "Disaster Movie", etc type stuff but they increase the quality just a tad.
uh... 'increase'????
@@blacktoothfox677 Yes, I hate these movies that rely on references too heavily just as much as anybody else, but those Seltzerberg “parody” movies are literally unwatchable. It’s just super dated pop culture references with no joke. It’s like “Oh Brittany Spears got crushed by Iron Man and then Borat was there.”
@@TylerFederico oh but I HAVE to know which one farted... I have to know! I HAVE TO KNOW!!! -- this is my intellectual pursuit, I have conformed, at last, with the rest of the theatre...

@@blacktoothfox677 yeah, not quality, more like budget. They're all shite
Perfect way to put it. It's just a modern Disaster Movie
i genuinely believed I was being gaslighted about this film from all of the positive reviews online before this review, cheers mingers
@Gremvy yeah detective Pikachu sucked. Could've been worse i guess but i still don't get how people liked it
How? Theres no correct opinion to have I don't know how you can believe your own opinion is wrong just because a lot of people say otherwise on the internet
@@jamespell1138 i mean if your opinion is outside of the overwhelming majority on a given issue it’s worth considering as it points towards your own outlook, biases etc. In my case, after watching this movie, and reading the reviews i genuinely thought i’d missed something because i had such a disconnect. And it turns out a lot of people just enjoy depressingly bland media.
How do you get gaslighted by people who don’t know you exist
@@Dopamiin3 it's not even gaslighting either, gaslighting is a form of manipulation attempting to make someone stop believing what they know to be true. It's one of those words that is ridiculously overused and not even properly
The best part was the hyper realistic fake IGN interview where they ask about the private life of the devs instead of their game lmao
Do you know how I can find the clip?
this movie would have been a masterpiece with nick cage as the lead actor. massively missed opportunity right there
Bro... yes. You're an innovator
Nick cage can make any movie better, that's my hot take
An actor change wouldn't have fixed anything.
@@guyman9655 AGREED
@@catoticneutral maybe, but imagine what the scene where guy relaizes he's fictional would be like with cage!
I was astounded to see the positive reviews of this, but at last balance has been restored.
I thought the dumbest thing about this POS movie is that people are surprised that AI is real. WTF, that makes no sense at all. You see players through out the whole movie having conversations with NPCs how is that possible without AI? Has no one ever talked to an NPC before, asked them questions they can’t be programmed to answer? It’s so damn stupid. If I asked a random question to a video game character and he answered me I would at the very least think that’s strange
@@grkpektis there's a difference between a conversational AI, of which many exist even today. And an entirely self aware AI.
@@ermwhatdaheck yea. Guy and the other NPCs were True AI. Something I'm not sure we've achieved as yet
@@grkpektis This movie was made for people who never touched a computer in their lives .
@@ermwhatdaheck Conversational AI doesn't work in real time with no dialogue options. We can't even get Siri or Alexa to understand basic words.
nothing was more enraging to me than when the lightsaber came out and the star wars theme started playing, people in the theatre started clapping. and like cheering. the american audience loves shit like this.
So glad I didn’t watch at the movies 😒
The amount of people who just want references in movies is scary to me.
I understand that it's not exactly an amazing movie, but if you just take it for what it is, a joke, then you'll find that it becomes much more enjoyable. Like seriously, this movie is in the joke genre, and it nails right on the head.
@@thedankgnasty1890 But it's not a joke, though. It's a joke in the same way that a block of concrete is a skyscraper. The movie is harmless, even interesting - but holy fuck the amount of contribution from those references is just a massive empty void.
its nor for everyone. but me i loved that movie. one of the best so far
“The craziest thing a white boy ever did, was challenge the world around him….” - Free Guy
That's actually funny tho, unlike a lot of the movie
A friend of mine went to see the film 'Geostorm' in 4DX, and his review afterwards was: "It was literally just watching a shit film while something sprayed you with water."
Dude.. from the trailers I didn't even know the movie was about a video game NPC character.. it just showed Ryan Reynolds playing.. Ryan Reynolds.
This is the only movie that ever wanted to walk out of, I could not believe what I was watching
I saw Don't Breathe 2
@@maxmustermann6612 Don't Breath 2nite or else!!
I wanted to see it for the meme but I also really don't want to support this sort of shit
@@harryking_ yeah it wasn't even worth it for the meme, it's draining
The Wolverine would’ve been my first walk out if I wasn’t seeing that with friends.
Some chick: My superpower is seeing how people will die in the future.
Also some chick 10 minutes later: My boss/lover/whatever died suddenly and I didn’t see it coming!
Thanks, movie, now I don’t have to watch the next hour or so of a mediocre X-men spin-off. Too bad the guy driving wanted to keep watching.
These men release a video titled "The WORST Movie of 2021" the same week Cinderella and He's All That were released and it isn't about either of those
Ok but why is Pablo Honey your pfp
The Bends is better, but Ok Computer is supreme. However I will have to listen to it more
@@bigtimehardline03 Pablo Honey is way too overhated, but you bring up a good point
@W Shiflet you're lucky
Dear Evan Hanson released this year as well
Ryan Reynolds' problem is simple: he is trying too hard to be found as clever, funny, charming. He is desperate, and that causes an awkward disconnect when I try to watch his stuff
The thing I hate the most is when people act like they like Ryan Reynolds when his only good role is Deadpool I love him as Deadpool but I can’t even think of another movie with him that I even slightly like
@@dankmoisture4702 i mean if you liked him in deadpool youll like him in literally every other movie hes been in because he plays essentially the same character in every movie. Just minus the 4th wall breaks. It really seems like whatever the first movie you see him in his probably the your favourite movie of his, mines blade 3. Have not liked him since that movie.
@@raze_ I think they're saying the way he acts at least fits in with deadpool's character, which I agree with (I'm not a comic nerd but as far as I know)
Especially the commercials for the 50 products he invests in
he’s played the same character again and again ever since Deadpool
we are only 4 years away from the ultimate showdown the movie, where they are literally going to have the entire events of the original video stretched out to 4 hours
you take that back right now. Don't you dare put that evil on us.
Yeah for real, god damn dude, chill.
Nah, they should do the gay orgy porn version instead. I'd pay to see all those famous actors and characters in a massive gay porno, lets go.
Saw this movie with some friends and after we got out I said to them “that really wasn’t very good at all” and one of my friends replied “what?? But that scene with captain America was hilarious!”. So I guess this movie hit it’s market well
This movie has a spell on some people I swear, I went with my friends, and they were like "yo that movie was great" and I was like "oh yeah definitely" but inside I was thinking like this movie was dogshit and not at all funny, the only fun I had were jokes I made myself with my friends while we were watching it.
@@watcherknight8760 Of course. You're a much better comedian than all of those so called "writers" that wrote the script for this movie. Truly pathetic. This movie was my 13th reason why and I'm typing this from hell. It has surprisingly good wifi.
@@NaudVanDalen Bro. You all right?
@@NaudVanDalen Issues friend. Issues
Y u no lyke le epic gamur maymay?

Man, finally. I did not see what others saw in this movie. All the gamer speak and referencey humor was, dare I say, *cringe*
wow okay you must not be a REAL gaymer
Oh, didn't you know, the audience won't know that clearly this is a movie for true nerds and geeks if they're not constantly shouting the most surface-level references that are carved into pop culture and universally known and understood?
After hearing about that lightsaber scene I had to check it out for myself, so I watched the scene on RUclips. I don't know if you noticed but he actually ends up turning the lightsaber into a Fortnite Pickaxe
I saw the "best scene" leaked online and thought "wow, this is disgusting." But then all the comments were like "NOOO SPOILERS! That would've been so epic to see in theaters!"
Like sheeesh.
What scene is that?
@@ectofriend when Ryan Reynolds manifests Captain America's shield and the lightsaber and all that reference junk.
That’s hilarious is a reference to Star Trek and Superman you dolt
I SAW SOMETHING I RECOGNIZED! I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT!!!!
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!
wat
For some reason the first 10 seconds I thought they're MAKING their own indie film that's the worst film of the year, rather than just discussing one. Like this video was gonna be an hour long youtube sketch.
What you think this is nostalgia critic? (JK)
We're not there yet
The boys don't have the technology
I need an hour long video like the intro. Release the Beltman cut
They basically made the worst "movie" of 2021 with this video.
I thought the dumbest thing about this POS movie is that people are surprised that AI is real. WTF that makes no sense. You see players through out the whole movie having conversations with NPCs how is that possible without AI? Has no one ever talked to an NPC before asked them questions they can’t be programmed to answer. It’s so damn stupid
I actually didn't mind some of it. The parts that felt like they were actually written by a gamer were kind of fun, even if Yahtzee's book Mogworld already did the same joke earlier and better. The parts that felt like they were written by a boomer who doesn't know how technology works and Taika Waititi being totally wasted on an unfunny and hysterical (In the other definition) character whose actions never make any fucking sense. Epic wouldn't turn Fornite off to get rid of an errant bug and then destroy their own product just to prevent a story as important as "Sentient NPC" from getting out. In fact I'm not convinced you could get Epic to turn Fortnite off even if it spawned a black hole that started consuming the universe.
Thanks for mentioning Mogworld. It already did this storyline, but 10 times better. And the anticlimactic ending with the review was just perfect lol.
The only word I can use to describe this movie is "cringe".
I saw this film two days early. My local cinema were doing a "Secret Screening" of an upcoming film and me and my mates thought that would be interesting but were we wrong. We also got accused of stealing a kids phone while playing on the sonic racing arcade machine but thats beside the point.
Pikachu
Was the phone found?
That was my kid's phone you had taken. How dare you, you sick human being.
I'm so glad the sequel was greenlit immediately because I was worried sick
the name checks out lmao
The threat of the movie was they were going to launch a second game that would destroy the original game and free guy and also they said it's evil because it's just to make money or something
So Yeah the whole message of the movie? pointless lol
@@PeepingSam They were gonna destroy the first True Self Aware Artificial Intelligence. Hundreds. Possibly thousands. Guy was just the first one to become self aware, and it's not like it was out of nowhere, even he took time to realize he wasn't "Real"
Maybe the sequel could improve things. Maybe
an actor who'd make it better is Nathan Fielder as Free Guy
This is an underrated comment, now that this idea has been pitched to me I can't imagine a better actor for a comedy movie about an NPC in a video game.
I actually liked the movie and I totally agree with you
The other writer of this film literally wrote ready player one, the same man created both of these nightmares
@super dude man The second book too...
Ummm... neither writer is Ernest Cline... did you mean the Screenplay? Cuz that guy is also the guy who wrote the Avengers. As well as Last Action Hero and Men in Black.
I work at a cinema and I can say this film is the worst! the amount of times I’ve had to listen to that f-ing alarm sound in the stupid trailer and walk in to absolute cringe in the cinema only to walk out after cleaning stale popcorn. Hate this movie with every inch of my being. Thankyou for finally being the first to call out this mediocrity :)
I saw the film this afternoon (it's everything wrong with modern mainstream filmmaking but I found it enjoyable still) and the best part, apart from the dead silence when a joke didn't land, was when one joke happened and two seconds later one guy goes "hur-hur" very loudly.
I went on a date to see this movie. It cost me roughly 35 American dollars. My partner has a kind of survivor’s guilt.
This movie was so bad it was enjoyable for me personally, the moments it tries to be funny are hilarious, not because they're actually funny but because they fall so far from being funny its comedic. The tropey, Cliche, contrived bullshit never failed to kill me with laughter. The writing is absurdly cringy and awkward and some moments sent me into a laughing fit, despite being intended to be serious or emotional in tone. I'm sure most would find no enjoyment in this, and I imagine it would be a torturous to watch in a cinema. But as an at-home viewing experience where I could pause at any time and reflect on how bad a moment was, this was an absolute joy. I recommend for anyone who also finds enjoyment in making fun of garbage like this
It's like the opposite of Dune which throws you into a completely boring experience with incredibly hollow characters. (Not shaming the novel or older retellings, only the remake.)

I like the movie but 2 PERCENT??? Should be lower than that my god-
Clasic ”hello fellow kids” movie
Didn't think I'd ever have a reason to say this in a non-joking way but I have officially lost faith in Rotten Tomatoes.
I hate movies that get cheap claps just from nods to other successful franchises instead of having actual talented writers who aren't scammers and have something of their own to actually show and be proud of. And worse are the people that get crazy about this.
Fuck this movie.
Go touch some grass lmao
I don’t understand why this movie is so hyped up and why Ryan Reynolds is so popular
He makes women quiver under their bodices
deadpool
You're so different
I've been looking forward to this for so long
The scenes where they show how the game looks irl looks like the Mafia City ads.
Sadly, you missed out on the epic highs and lows of the crowd experience.
Before the movie started, my friends and I asked a couple of people whether they liked Ryan Reynolds or not( they all loved him)
After the movie had ended and we asked the crowd to raise their hands if they still like him, not a single person raised their hand, except one drunk girl who screamlaughed at the most random scenes and made the movie at least lightly more enjoyable.
So yes, a bunch of Austrian people now actively hate Ryan Reynolds cause of this movie
The "GENRE" Movie format (epic movie, scary movie, etc.) is alive and well, it seems.
Un-fucking-fortunately.
yeah no those are way more cursed this was
I’m just sick of fan service being shoved in films to just activate nostalgia. Spider-Man nwh had loads of fab service but it services the story and that’s when you’ve done it right
They call me Free Guy, and I am the Guy who is Free. I have to free my Guys to be the free guy.
What am I, some kind of Free Guy?
I thought the bugged reflection thing was kinda good but the whole time I was thinking how dumb it was they had to find the old code in the game and not the game files
Watching this film, I did not feel like a "Free Guy". I felt like a prisoner trapped in a theatre for what felt like hours on end, watching dated, infantile humour packed full of pointless references thriving off of viewers' nostalgia.
You guys essentially just watched Disney's version of Space Jam 2
worst movie of 2021?
did we all just collectively forget about Music?
That was this year?
yes
Ohhh god yeah.
As someone with autism, that's definitely one of the most insulting movies I've ever heard of. I haven't seen it. And frankly I don't want to.
@@pierrebegley2746 as someone who has watched it, it’s like _way_ worse than you can imagine
At least it was some weird passion project by someone who doesn’t know how to make movies. This is just some cynical studio cash grab
I thought it was just kinda unnatural seeing the entire real world follow a fictional character. For being “the good guy” he was everywhere, even with adults and elderly folks. Just felt really strange to me.
Exactly my thoughts, like why would they even give a crap about what’s happening with Guy?
@@RevOptimism oh I know! Plot convenience!
Conversations about violence in video games almost always seem hypocritical, because every form of human entertainment since the beginning of time is full of violence
Real human = a ok. Virtual human? Its against the Geneva convention.
@@jeffcope3305That's about right. Notice how none of those people ever complain about sports that cause brain damage or MRSA even.
Heck, there's people who watch Running of the Bulls yet have a problem with video games. As if being attacked by pixels on a screen was worse than being gored to death.
I think we have to probably wait another 20 years or so for video game movies to become "good", because at that point the people in charge actually grew up with them and don't just treat them like something they think of as too low for something "artsy" like a movie, but it might make money, so they hire some hack to write a box standard script and then add some references to video games.
Eh, good video game movies have come out. Both Sonic movies, the new Mario Movie (at least according to everyone I've talked to) and maybe Detective Pikachu (nobody I know saw it but the reviews were good).
If they were movies instead of shows I'd count Arcane or The Last of Us.
i cant believe i paid money to see this god awful movie and the positive reviews just added salt to the wound for me
"Frivolous fun" doesn't usually cost upwards of $100m before marketing
There were 3 commercials from Ryan Reynolds mobile company Mint while watching this.
Yes. At least in the U.S. Ryan Reynolds owns a low level phone company that he does his own commercials for wherein he says he has no idea how he makes the company better.
I pirated this movie. Spent about 10 minutes watching it before turning it off. I'm still thinking I need to be compensated.

Free Guy, worst movie of 2021? I feel like they must've missed a few movies, in that case.
It's worse than Space Jam

@@PeepingSam Space Jam 2 is much worse
4/10
@@NeoAya Both are unbearable pieces of manure but at least I've got some laughs out of Space Jam 2 with how bad it was. free guy was just so insulting
Didn't Adam Sandler basically already make this movie with Pixels? Might be worth watching that to compare and contrast honestly
“This ain’t the Lego Movie’s fault” was such a sincere defence lmao
Exactly, because The Lego Movie had heart, was subversive against the cliches of usual kids movies and actually had great meta/social commentary.
I was born in America and I was bored to death. Maybe I’m secretly British.
And EVERYONE I know says it was a good movie. Even every review on RUclips except this ONE says it was great.
Ryan Renolds as Deadpool was a fun time.
But what the industry is doing to him nowadays (casting him in Netflix Exclusives, Free Guy, where he plays the bodyguard with Samuel L. Jackson) is just a record now on repeat.
Like a dish rag, Ryan cleans up nicely when used for the first two to three times. Further use after that (speficially to clean up the industry's demands and shit) just stains it further. A talent now squandered and abused by the industry.
Cyberpunk Masterpiece
Free Guy is the best movie to come out since Joker. A true cinematic masterpiece that brilliantly blends comedy, action, sci-fi, cyberpunk, romance, politics, technology, video games, and GOD into one masterfully crafted movie.
There are two layers to this movie: the top layer, which is accessible, family friendly, funny, and packed with epic action that everyone will love.
Then there is the bottom layer, the high IQ layer. This is the layer that brilliantly comments on very complex subjects such as the ethics of AI, the role capitalism plays in directing how we utilize advanced technology, the way our lives are continuously blending with technology at a deeper level, and questions about our very own existence.
If you're a young teen who loves fun, you'll love this movie. If you're a High-IQ individual that can appreciate Elon Musk, you'll love this movie. Otherwise, you might not grasp how brilliant this movie truly is.
So true
I too watch family guy
I to watch rick and Morty very high IQ
me when i smoke crack
It's funny cos this movie's better than Joker
This is not a movie. It is a 2 hour long advertising campaign. It is a gigantic trip of "What is selling?" and "What do we want to sell more" from disney put on screen. So terribly bad that it gets offensive.
Genuinely don’t understand how someone could enjoy this film
Swear to god what really rubs me the wrong way was they got actual streamers were there to rake in all the kids, plus the very unnecessary crossovers during the dude fight scene (the one with the lightsabers and god forbid the fortnite pickaxe). Besides all the occasion swears I was so genuinely surprised after I watched the movie and saw it was PG-13 when the whole movie felt like it was catered to a 7 year old.
Just you wait for the SING sequel boys!
i dont want to be in your gang, dad
It CANNOT be any worse than The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard
Yikes horrible take this time, free guys nuanced and subtle themes highlight the dire state of our current society
I wouldn’t say subtle but the themes that were tackled were interesting to see.
It’s not perfect but damn this negativity is way too much. I thought this was a better version of Ready Player One cause whenever the characters were 2 dimensional it was done on purpose because they are supposed to be like NPCs breaking out of the mold and the other characters aren’t citizen Kane type of well written but it’s decent enough.
@@CurtyTails I think he was kidding
I knew it wasn’t worth finishing as soon as they made a joke about a “sock”
My friends were exited about the movie and i just went along with them to the theater and pretended to be exited. I am not into the same comedy my friends are into and I was trying to not be the cynical asshole about stupid cash grubbing movies I usually am but I have to say it was so hard to enjoy even when i put an effort into enjoying it. (Ps I am american and I thought it also was crap)

american here . i am 54 , i get treated like a am a boomer and accused of this as i dont allways jive with millenial stuff but thats not the point . i saw the preview for this movie and i became ovrcome with the urge to become violent . this type of stuff makes me see red . horrific movie . i am sure i know someone who will see it in a theater because this POS lines up for that shit . he loves the smell in the theater with all the rotton pop smell and sweet candies crushed into the slippery floor . when i came up you dint spill all your treats on the ground but these millenials are so busy high fiving each other and texting the theater now smells like a cess pit . i dont know who ryan renolds is but i am good with that .
from the preview it just looked like irl emoji movie
edit: omg yeah definitely ready player one and the lego movie ripoff 😭
my dad is taking me to see this tomorrow, he says its "right up my alley"🥲
Watching this, and I get a Mint mobile ad right in the middle starring Ryan Reynolds.
This movie should have been Pixels 2, starring Adam Sandler, with a Matrix plot line where he realizes he's always been in a video game, and Pixels 1 never mattered.
Watched it in a pretty packed theatre and it was the first time I heard people clap a movie...
I've gotten multiple Mint Mobile ads over the course of this, and I've got 25 minutes to go.
Ryan Reynolds is omnipresent.
ryan "minger" reynolds
Seems like they should be drinking wine, with monocles and curly mustaches. Saying, “hmmmmmm this movie missed the mark on ______. Therefore, it’s sooooo disgusting.” I’m curious to see what movies these guys actually like… so maybe I won’t watch them.”
This is Pixels but with Ryan Reynolds
And Kevin James is not the president of the US
This ep is FULL of sad energy
A bunch of depressed British boys lmfao
I swear to god I’m in a simulation right now specifically designed to fuck with me. I’m getting ratio’d over on r/fellowkids about this movie.
This movie was horrendous, and that’s coming from someone who *loves* them some Ryan Reynolds. “Fellowkids” and “fellowgamers” are the quintessential apt descriptions for this movie. Especially egregious is everything related to the game development aspects. If the movie would have just never left free city or the perspective of ‘Guy’ it would have been fine. Everything else was ham-fisted at best.
The fact that it is reviewing well is a slap in the simulations face.
Edit: it’s not an American thing. It’s a normie thing.
What I hated about the half life and portal references is that they were soft references, with knock off equivalents, if they wanted to do fan service right they could have paid to use many things from games and have the actual game objects or effects but no they do a copyright dodging slight reference to the games
I was about to comment on this myself, Marvel/Star Wars/Fortnite had correct props, music, and sound effects. The gravity gun and portal gun both look like knock off versions, aren't using the sound effects, and the portal gun was used wrong too. Either it was a lazy reference or someone approached Valve with the offer to be in who turned it down so they made it legally distinct instead.
Garry's Mod physgun cameo was the only good moment in this movie.
This video has enough rage that isn’t in the other reviews of this film, so rewatchable of how pissed they are lol
One view? This must be a jar media classic
My only knowledge of this movie’s existence was because I saw some posters of it parodying various video games like Mario 64, Minecraft, and Among Us and apparently those weren’t just shitposts
I know this is just 1 small aspect of the film, but I feel like the whole "improvised, keep riffing take after take and cobble together scenes" type comedy is a HUGE problem. Comedy as a genre has been largely dead since the early 2010's-ish and I feel like that was a huge factor. Melissa Mcarthy has done more damage to comedy than an H Bomb because I think she was one of the main people who popularized that trend. Comedies don't seem like they're actually written anymore. They get a basic plot, then get some "funny" actors on set and let them bullshit for 2 hours and cobble together garbage. Another giant problem is that, for some reason, these types of movies are always made by people who clearly don't love games. They play a few hours of Madden, Halo and GTA and then make a movie. They only know the surface level traits of gaming and are devoid of the knowledge of the culture and deeper aspects that someone who's grow up playing them. It always comes off as totally inauthentic. Every time. It's like if I tried to make a movie about the NFL. Football fans would know immediately that I was a fraud. I don't mean to make it sound like playing video games is some noble, difficult career that requires study, it's not. But for fucks sake, just get people who actually love and play games. It's not that hard. It's a very popular hobby.
Loved the Genius of Love appreciation. James brown!
Also doesn’t help the fact that the co-writer of this film is the same co-writer of Ready Player One (Zak Penn)😔
Jack Black as Free Guy>>
That'd be funnier
