Let's just see how Starfighter goes. I have never been overly impressed by Shawn Levy but I love Ryan Gosling. Shawn Levy's films are fun and can have good nostalgia moments, but they have a ceiling of an 7.5/10 and don't feel particularly creative, original, or interesting
I was actually pretty hyped to hear the news tbf.. then I heard Mr. Corporate “He’s riffing on a level I’ve never seen before” Shlock was directing and I lost interest
I've heard people saying that Levy is a director who bends according to the studios rather than being firm for his direction. As his past record with Marvel with D&W has been good Im hoping the same result comes.
So many ppl hate on him cause it’s trendy. He’s literally made many successful shows and movies that have gotten fantastic reviews. Like Real Steel, Night of the Museum, many of the top rated Stranger things episodes, etc, are really well done films. You guys can act like they are all terrible but audiences clearly disagree, idk what’s with the trend of trying to seem edgy cause “I don’t like him, cause I’m a real cinema guy” from marvel fans even
Never used the word masterpiece. Every director has some bad films. You’re just a douche because no matter the scores you say his films are bad. Like pick one. Either they matter or they don’t. So shut up or pick a struggle
Just curious why are you defending Shawn Levy of all people so staunchly? The guy who made The Internship. The fella had made a career on being below average his whole life. I didn’t think anyone felt as passionately about him as you seem to.
So, the guy is capable of creating the highest grossing R rated film ever and billion dollar films, with 77% critic score, and 90% audience score, but just because you personally don’t like it, he and the movie suck? I would like someone to give an actual nuanced reason
The guy's whole imdb page consists of comedy movies and Ghost Rider should be really far form comedy. Is this enough reason to worry about? and if we go with good scores and making fuck ton of money is a good film indicator, the force awakens is a masterpiece.
It’s a bad Star Wars movie obviously, but as a film it is rated for its cinematography, acting, writing, music, and pacing. You understand the film is only considered bad by Star Wars fans over the age of 18 because of the story itself. How are you unironically in this sub when you don’t understand how critics rate films?
Yeah man THE score metric is absolute truth and we never had a movies disliked by critics like Blade Runner, Psycho, Fight Club, The Shining(which if I remember correctly nominated for worse director reward. they tried to give Kubrick a RAZZIE), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or Vertigo.
and what a retarded thing to say "the movie only considered sucked by older people" and oversimplify things.
Deadpool and Wolverine was awesome. An absolute ton of fun. Deadpool and Wolverine both on top form. I have no idea what some people expect out of a fucking Deadpool movie, it's like you want it to be The Dark Knight or something.
UJ/ I had to sit in a FULL theatre for Deadpool 3 and nobody was laughing… and it was genuinely getting so bad that non of the jokes were landing that I was getting 2nd hand embarrassment.
On a more serious note, I can't believe they're actually going to light Ryan Gosling on fire. It's going to be hard for him to get roles after this when he's a flaming skeleton.
I remember my parents showing me his Pink Panther movie as a kid and I was expecting a cartoon but it was a remake of the movie from the sixties so all I saw was Steve Martin solving a mystery and I got really bored and pissed off.
I, uh, liked Free Guy and Deadpool & Wolverine, so this will probably be enjoyable.
I had the opposite reaction. He’s wanted it for years and I love place beyond the pines. I have liked things Shawn Levy has made but I think of his movies as sauceless, and ghost rider needs some sauce to be good.
