It was like a slasher movie reference since his real name ends up being Jason haha
Anyways perhaps there will be better movies this year, the fall tends to have a lot of good ones but I'm finding it unlikely I'll enjoy any other movie this year as much as this one. So fun personally. And I just fuck with spacey, Hamm and Foxx a lot so to see them deliver lines from an Edgar Wright script had me gassed.
I get why people would say the opening scene was the best, it was like the big statement of the film showing the concept and kicked it into high gear. But I thought the botched heist at the end with the footchase and the shootout with the cops was better personally. Best song from the soundtrack, and it reminded me a lot of stuff like heat and point break with how urgent and frantic it got
For action movies this year I've got:
Baby Driver > Logan > John Wick 2

Yep..right now it is the best action movie of 2017. I love this movie direction, its all superb from beginning to end. I think this is also the best Edgar Wright movie.
I didn't think much of Wonder Woman either but could appreciate its symbolism and that it wasn't a terrible DC movie.

Watched this over the weekend. Was great to begin with but yeah, like many have said it doesn't hit that high again.
I preferred John Wick 2 and Wonder Woman by quite a margin though.

Pretty much this. I'd even rank them like that purely on as a whole, not just on action.
Wonder Woman was darn good too - though I appreciated everything else above the action.

Saw it last week and was personally disappointed with it.
Not because it was plainly bad but because I had totally different expactations.
Expected it to have a somewhat serious tone while it turned out to be rather humorous and silly at times.
As I said not bad but just not my cup of tea.

Yea, I think the crazy hype turned me on this movie as well.
It had 3 months of pub and hype to live up to

Baby Driver met the hype. Intro was the peak, but everything else were high highs except for a few points.

Jon Hamm was definitely the best part.
Damn enjoyable movie, everything from the sound effects to the action following the music was amazing to watch (and listen). This is how you put an original spin on old cliche storylines. More, please.
That said, if I hear one more song with the word "baby" in it, I'll kick the first baby I see on the street.

Baby Driver is your favorite action film of the year. Personally, I'd rank John Wick 2, Logan, and Wonder Woman above it. Probably in that order.
Each of these movies passes a certain threshold of quality that makes no answer the wrong answer. Unless of course that answer involves trashing any of them. (People are shitting on Wonder Woman's action? Wut.) They're all great.
