Didn't know I wanted to watch movie trivia with Edgar Wright and Jon Hamm before this.
The more I think about this the more I get disappointed, not because the movie was bad - but because the sound mixing in the movie or my specific theater was off and it was hard to hear the songs match up with the action.
Gonna watch it again on blu-ray and see how it holds up.
THANK YOU VINDICATION!I heard it too and I also thought I was losing my mind for hearing it.
this was the best movie if you don't think so you suck.
Well constructed movie and the setpieces, editing, music, and acting are pretty great but man the writing here is all over the place.
All this talk of Baby getting his comeuppance only for him to get his picturesque ending, the women in this movie being written horribly, the strange handling of the doc/buddy characters that make either of them seem like they are actually affectionate towards Baby only to later show differently...and then flip flop again.
When Baby is driving or the music is blaring the movie is fun but damn, some of the choices in here weigh the movie down now that I think back on it.
Oh, y'all can call me no fun or whatever but the first half of the movie, every time some song came on and it was a minute of Elgort mugging for the camera the movie came to a complete halt. Wright really needed to tone it down with that shit, we get it, Baby loves music, once you see he never takes off his damn headphones it's pretty apparent Wright.
Pretty fun in the theater but still the worst Wright movie I've seen.
Scott Pilgrim stay winning.
Drive stay winning even harder.

I agree.Absolutely loved it, just fun the whole way through, with a great forward momentum constantly in the film. The editing was sublime.
I'll definitely be seeing it again.
lmao
He doesn't feel like a real person existing in a real place.
None of it is supposed to feel real. It's pretty stylized fantasy version of reality.Well I saw it in Edgar Wrights favorite Cinema in London and one of his favorites period. I love to go there because its always perfectly calibrated sounds that is fucking loud as hell. Massive screen. Brilliant seating. A bunch of great bars and cafes in it too.
But man I think the music was just too loud, it started to blare. I said it before I thought the soundtrack was pretty boring and tired.
I agree, Ansel mugging it for the camera was annoying. And why make it all cliched old school Americana, diner 50s shit? So tired. If you're Steven King, you can do that shit as long as you want. Everyone, else. Stop.
Baby should've been an actual young person. Not a proxy for an old white man. He doesn't feel like a real person existing in a real place. Just a slightly cliched hollywood facade.
I'm no huge fan of Drive, but I agree with him on many of those points. My girlfriend who I saw it with also wasn't a huge fan of how the female characters were written, which was something I didn't immediately notice. BetweenI can definitely see the argument that a lot of the females in this film are just there to be sacrificed for the benefit of the males' storylines.Baby's mom's death inspiring some of his actions, Monica's death inspiring Buddy's actions, and even Deborah being eager to run down the cops before Baby stops him

I dunno, I know plenty of kids my age that obsess over old music and culture. Shopping for vinyls and the like. But I understand what you're saying.Theyre meant to feel like real characters not that they or the movie has to be realistic in those depictions.
I get Baby is a quiet brooding hero, not necessarily tons there. Which is why little details can bring a character to life. Everything about Baby just felt fake and blank. His unironic love of only old things feels especially outdated and false.
Freud wept.Has Baby not listened to any music in the last 20 years? Also a bit disturbing he wants to fuck a girl who represents his mother.
Yeah it's weird Baby wants to get with someone who reminds him of his mom

His favourite scene is actually the same as mine.Foot chase after the death of Bats
The movie is fun as fuck. The crew in the diner is the tensest shit.
There were parts so tense I was shaking.The movie is fun as fuck. The crew in the diner is the tensest shit.

Didn't like the ending. It feels like it ends twice,driving over the bridge would be fine, fits better. We don't learn anything from the prison scenes. Baby behaves and makes parole in five years. We already know he would do this. We're told all the shit about him in the trial as if we missed it the first time. And it's weird this waitress who has known the guy for two days before watching him murder a dude in a parking garage full of dead bodies would wait half a decade to see him again. It's a fantasy, but there is no need even to introduce that leap.
Any scene with Jamie Foxx was fucking tense. Butt clenching tense.
This is the first movie where I was actually scared of Foxx. He played a more convincing psychopath than when he was Electro.
