Baby Driver (2017)

The first half of this movie is fucking stupid. Like really fucking stupid. Baby dancing around like it was a broadway musical was just dumb.

Second half was alright. Some pretty good action.

Dialogue was bad but I guess it's a shootemup action movie so who cares?

TAI LOPEZ ENDORSED IT, YOU KNOW ITS GOOD.

Can't wait to see this GREAT GREAT MOVIE, and get some KNAW-LEDGE!!!

Anyway, Jamie Foxx's hairline is amazing in this film. When you have millions of dollars, you can apparently buy yourself about 30 years worth of time as far as baldness is concerned.

He ain't the only African brother partaking. Foxx n Lebron probably hit the same doc

Movie was alright. Think I prefer Drive. The dancing shit got on my nerves, real bad. Unless it's some tongue in cheek reference to Spiderman 3. I didn't care for many of the songs. I get it, they're old songs or whatever, but fuck. I listened to the golden oldies age 1-18 because my parents controlled the radio. They could've picked way better songs.

Hopefully the end scene with villain was an homage to MacGruber.

I had a bigger problem with his parents dressed like they were in the 70s for flashback scenes that were in 2001 at the latest.

Movie is more fun than drive. I'd throw it on in the background to watch parts of it. Don't think I would ever watch either from start to finish again.

This movie could have been so much better if Foxx and Hamm were given more screen time. The opening robbery and chase scene was fucking awesome and I thought I was in for a treat the rest of the way except the next 45 minutes was dancing, autistic baby and a hollywood romance....

Also Spaceys character fell flat to me once he started making threats. They could have went in another direction with him, they tried to redeem him at the end but it felt rushed and kind of unbelievable.

Other than that it was a good film. And yea go google Foxxs hairline it might have been worse than LeBrons.

Movie was OK, easily forgettable.

But, How pedantic are you people they had one 1 minute dance scene in the movie.

God forbid we show the hero of our action movie engaging in activities that show him to be more than a cardboard cut-out.

It wasnt the dancing it was the context in which he was doing it. Baby would qualify as an interesting character and I would click the "Would you like to know more?" button. But they could of sacrificed some of the musical/dancing/romance screentime for him driving a fucking car.

It was terribly choreographed and really out of place.

The entire script is pretty bad actually. None of the characters are very interesting or make much sense. The movie's only saving grace is the car chases. Which is fine when it's just a popcorn flick action movie.

Except this movie tried to be more than just an action movie and suffered for it.

There were only two things I didn't like about the movie: 1. the double-180 stunt at the beginning with the WRX had a cut instead of being a single shot, and 2. there should have been a proper chase scene when he was driving the Challenger (which should have actually been a Hellcat if they were going to call the owners "Hellcat Thug #1 and #2" in the credits). It needed one more with a real car and not all the random shitboxes he stole.

Wright's script and the way he put it together with the soundtrack was pure genius.

Haha. K.

As an editor, this film is absolutely freaking brilliant. They did a lot of things that, from a technical standpoint, are extremely difficult to pull off and for that I enjoyed this movie immensely. If you're not a film buff, you'll probably just enjoy the movie for the action scenes and the awesome soundtrack. Either way, go see it. It's a gem.

I liked it a lot.

I got a chuckle out of this too. Pretty sure they didn't have iPods in like 1973.

Hellcat is the 707hp version of the Challenger. The one in the movie was a 485hp SRT 392 model. Still a damned fine car, but if you're going to deus ex machina in one of the fastest production cars ever made, you might as well use the real thing. And then, you know, actually do something with it.

This movie was fucking great.

Jamie Foxx is pretty awesome in just about everything he does these days.

I will agree with the caveat that Amazing Spider-Man 2 was garbage, as was his character. Hell everything about that movie sucked ass.

This movie was AMAZING, really enjoyed it.
