NFT: Baby Driver (just a quick review, no real spoilers)

B in ALB : 11/17/2017 12:34 am
What a piece of corn filled shit. The first scene was cringeworthy. The entire premise was absurd. The ending was absurd. The kid's accent. Absurd. The coffee scene at the beginning. Absurd.

Fuck your earbuds.

What a complete piece of shit.

But I'm sure some of you drogledytes absolutely loved it.

What a colossal waste of time and $4.99, Amazon.

Plus it had that filth Kevin Spacey in a prime role.

Fuck you Baby.

Baby Houseman could kick your bitch ass up and down the highway. She'll marange up and down your weak sizzle chest. Asshole.
Your opinion

but I thought it was a solid film. Of course, looking at Kevin Spacey in hindsight adds a layer but, in general, a really enjoyable film IMO. Of course I saw this before the Spacey allegations were made public
LOL...I thought it was pretty good

Sorry B, I disagree
it's basically a 2 hour music video to feature all the songs they want  
Nitro : 11/17/2017 3:34 am : link
but that waitress looked pretty good.
Agreed

It sucked. I liked the bad guys when they were introduced, but the movie sucked
I liked it  
Steve L : 11/17/2017 5:42 am : link
Bit of a thin plot and Jon Ham’s character annoyed me, but I thought it was fun.
Meh  
Cap'n Bluebeard : 11/17/2017 8:06 am : link
I actually really, really enjoyed it up until the end when things went off the rail with the unkillable villain and Spacey doing stuff that was wildly inconsistent with his character's previous actions.
turned it off after about 30 minutes  
markky : 11/17/2017 8:12 am : link
what a stupid movie. all of the characters just annoyed me.
After I saw the trailrer the first time...  
Post Time : 11/17/2017 8:36 am : link
I knew there was no way I was going to sit through all that noise and crashing, looked like a video game that only a 15-year old male would enjoy.
I liked it a lot  
PaulBlakeTSU : 11/17/2017 8:56 am : link
great soundtrack, great chase scenes and great sound editing to match up the music with the film. Tailed off at the end a bit, but it was a non-stop action flick. I enjoyed it. Sorry, B.

I also appreciated that when Baby didn't have his earbuds in, we (the audience) could hear the faint sound of tinnitus that would get lounder and more annoying at different points, until he put the earbuds back in.
Count as one who also liked the movie

Thought it was a cool concept with the music. Being a huge music guy, I guess it might have appealed to me more than others. I am also a sucker for car chase scenes.
I didn't hate it  
Metnut : 11/17/2017 9:21 am : link
like B in ALB but a few people recommended it to me so it had a little hype and I wasn't really a fan. Definitely had some style but not much else IMO.
watched  
jtfuoco : 11/17/2017 9:47 am : link
It I agree it sucked maybe its my age now but Hollywood just fails to deliver characters I actually like or care about these days.
Haven't seen it  
Semipro Lineman : 11/17/2017 10:02 am : link
but I did enjoy Wheelman on netflix over the weekend. Had a lot more suspense than car chases.
Thought it was excellent

and exactly why I laugh when people say their aren’t any original ideas anymore. To each their own.
Mediocre and forgettable

I saw it at the theater, it was well attended.

But I live in Atlanta, so the film had a lot of interest here. I got a kick out of the local scenes, some insight into movie editing. The kid drove fast but going from Location A to Location B in Atlanta in one minute would require beaming up by Scotty! Locations miles apart were presented as being contiguous.

This movie is the perfect example of why I can't take critic reviews  
Mike in NJ : 11/17/2017 11:41 am : link
seriously. It was mildly entertaining for the first hour and a half, but the last 30 minutes were absolutely awful. It went from interesting getaway driver flick into Terminator for no reason at all.

Oh but it was written and directed by Edgar Wright so it must be good.
watched it  
jestersdead : 11/17/2017 11:44 am : link
on my flight from Chicago to NYC and the movie did its job for the flight, it entertained and passed the time. Its not a movie I would have rented at home but perfect for a flight.
lol nice review  
est1986 : 11/17/2017 12:07 pm : link
& I totally agree
What's yeeer name?  
B in ALB : 11/17/2017 12:23 pm : link
...Baby.


Fuck you.

Just form your own opinion, no different than sports analysis. Who cares what other people think of it?
I enjoyed it thoroughly  
djm : 11/17/2017 12:46 pm : link
including the first scene. I thought it was a cool new and innovative take on movie making. If you take the movie too seriously or the wrong way, whatever that means, I guess you won't like it.
Baby's Day Out  
Pete in MD : 11/17/2017 12:57 pm : link
was much better. Joe Mantegna is the man.
Sorry B, you just didn't get it.  
FatHeadTommy : 11/17/2017 7:50 pm : link
You weren't supposed to take it so seriously.
It was intended to be a modern musical.
I thought it was very creative.
Didn't take it seriously  
B in ALB : 11/17/2017 7:53 pm : link
I wanted to be entertained. There were a couple entertaining moments.

But the cringeworthy moments far outweighed those.

Awful.
