Doesn't look like a Guy Ritchie film.
It looks like a B movie with a director trying to be like Guy Ritchie. Either way I'm still watching it.
shareYesss! Thank you! Kept thinking that while watching the trailer. Guy has a very unique style. Most of his films look & feel a certain way.
This doesn't look or feel that way. This looks very "ordinary".
Still gonna check out though. Fan of Guy Ritchie. Thoroughly enjoyed The Gentlemen. So freaking good.
I'm such a big Guy Ritchie fan, I sat through Aladdin.
shareLove Ritchie & Tim Burton but I honestly have no interest in any of the live action adaptations of the Disney cartoons
I genuinely don't see the point. I've literally seen 'em already.
With the exception of The Jungle Book. Never seen the original cartoon. Had to check out the Jon Favreau film. Pretty decent.
"With the exception of The Jungle Book. Never seen the original cartoon."
!!!
Take yourself to see the Jungle Book NOW. *Now*, I say!!!
No, really. What are you still doing here?
Yer welcome.
Did you miss the part I said, "Had to check the Jon Favreau film. Pretty decent"
I also checked out The Netflix one, because, well, I love Andy Serkis. Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would
No, I didn't miss it. It's not complicated. . .if you saw the live action film, you OWE it to yourself to see the original. Classic, classic, CLASSIC material. You're doing yourself a disservice if it's the only version you Haven't seen. Trust me on this one. . .
shareOk. Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely gonna put it on my watchlist.
sharePOSSIBLE SPOILER ALERTS.......MD, I just saw the film in a movie theater. What a treat to see a film in a theater. Anyway, it is lacking that Guy Ritchie feel. What do the best Guy Ritchie films, i.e., "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Snatch", "RocknRolla" and "The Gentlemen" all have in common? Pithy dialogue, strange and unique characters, great multiple story lines, and Humour! I spelled humor with an "U" to honor our British friends. This is a film that would be an okay Netflix film. I was expecting more. Perhaps the hint is the slew of writers:
Writing Credits
Nicolas Boukhrief ... (written by) and
Éric Besnard ... (written by)
Guy Ritchie ... (screenplay by) &
Marn Davies ... (screenplay by) and
Ivan Atkinson ... (screenplay by)
Often that is a warning. Anyway, I was back in a theater. The movie was not horrible. I had a good time.

How's the action though? These types of film are made or letdown by how well the action is handled
Is it choppy & shaky cam or more like the better handled action films of late?
The action scenes are well done. The acting is somewhat wooden. Scott Eastwood was great. I miss the humor and the dialogue of Guy Ritchie's better works. I eagerly await the next Guy Ritchie film.
From Snatch:
Avi: Eighty-six carats.
Rosebud: Where?
Avi: London.
Rosebud: London?
Avi: London.
Avi's Colleague: London?
Avi: Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary f***ing Poppins... LONDON.

The Gentlemen was definitely "back to form" for Ritchie. Great dialogue & fantastic performances.
Not on the same level as Snatch and Lock, Stock but definitely one of his best films in recent years
"Why do they call him the Bullet Dodger??"
Very dryly "Because he dodges bullets Avi."
One of the most quotable movies ever!
