Michael Bay sucks but this will probably be better then at least 90% of what's on Netflix generally. Also guessing, the trailer is likely much better then the actual movie.
Hmm...that means one of my three cats will survive. I am trying to guess which one. Sounds like a thriller's plot twist.
So, I give this a 7/10 But now you're thinking "you never give these movies 7/10, cunt" And you'd be right. I actually gave the first 15 minutes 7/10 because that's all I watched before turning off because it was so brain-numbingly stupid, shit and annoying, that each subsequent 15 minutes would account for a minus-point, thus rendering the full movie, 6 Underground, a score of 1/10
Haven't found the time to watch "The Irishman" yet, but I've watched "6 Underground", so maybe I should just let Mustard kill me with his big fucking potato head. 1st 15 minutes, fairly impressive car chase scene that goes on for too long...........but I'll give it to Bay, it was halfway entertaining and included the death of a SPOILER ALERT............................... Franco brother..............so plus points for that. Followed by 2 hours and 5 minutes of a completely incoherent music video, replete with tons of washed out lens flares, sloppy fucking editing, flashbacks within flashbacks, groan inducing dialogue with dozens of direct references and quotes from other superior movies, which they actually acknowledge within the flick, but that only makes it more clunky and un-self aware somehow. Bay looks to be aiming for "The Fast and The Furious" franchise, mixed with Tony Scott, mixed with Ridley Scott...............and fails dramatically at all of them at the same time. He's great with CGI and seems to have some impressive practical stuntwork mixed in with the CGI, but he has a really hard time framing an action scene coherently, and apparently has hired a middle school kid full of strange new hormones and unlimited access to Michael Bay's DVD library and the IMDB quote pages, to write his script for him, and insert a blaring soundtrack full of modern music that doesn't fit at all into the scenes being portrayed on the screen. I mean, I've seen Porn Music Vids that show more restraint and narrative meaning over the soundtrack, then Bay exhibits in this movie. All and all, 3\10 for the first 15 minutes of the movie and the fact I stayed awake for the whole thing. Mustard was pretty much spot on I guess.............................. ....................................................but he's still a cunt.
It doesn´t help that Ryan Reynolds, to me, is just an irritating, one-trick-pony, stupid ´jokey´ one-liner actors ever. Add to that, his 4th-wall Deadpool acting and he´s insufferable.
Reynolds is "fine" to me. I liked the Deadpool movies. I don't mind his persona like a lot of other people do. ......but, Dwayne Johnson himself couldn't have saved this trash fire. The only parts of Reynolds performance (or any of the other actors in the film), that seemed the slightest bit natural, was when it looked like he might have been improvising a bit. When he was actually spewing out Bay's dialogue, him and the other actors looked/sounded like they were just counting their money in their heads and waiting for him to yell "cut" for the 5000th time that day, so he could shoot the same scene from 350 different angles and sloppily piece it together later on in post.
They should have renamed this movie "Fastly Furious Ghost Protocol Top Gunner Goodfellas Eminem Video Stuff Tribute Montage - A Film by Michael Bay based on the Novel, I Hated Hated Hated This Movie by Roger Ebert".
BTW, the cinematic genius of our times has just come out with another classic. He bagged DaFoe and a good doggy for this one.
It's already been mentioned but Reynolds and the narrating thing is tiresome. Enjoyed it in the Deadpool movies, didn't mind it in Hitman's Bodyguard, but this...trash.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard, now that was some serious abort viewing material. I’ve had amazing blow jobs where I lasted longer than I did watching that sludge.
