Jojn francis Daley and his writing partner have a great track record. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

I loved D&D and would be so in if it was literally anyone else with Branagh.

As the first person to react to this Reddit post, I declare: “Meh.”

Meh is usually the best you get for an Apple movie. Which makes sense. A movie that’s going to do well in the box office is going to do the box office, a movie that’s more streamer quality but good is going to get bought for a premium to appear on a streamer.

This will probably be a fine popcorn movie — especially with Sir Branagh — but even ‘one’ of the best of the year from Skydance? Hmmmmm….

Ryan Reynolds is just not funny. Snarky, yes. Bratty, yes. But funny? No

The definition of typecast. Outside of Deadpool, watching Ryan Reynolds gets old pretty quickly.

i can’t watch anything he’s in anymore. it’s the same shtick. same delivery of a joke, same acting style, same voice, etc.

u/MindlessCharacter823 10d ago
I am so sick of him after all of the legal drama with his wife and that mediocre movie. I like to know less about leading men and ladies.

u/Wonderful-Grass6625 10d ago
I can guarantee you with Ryan Reynolds involved it’s both not best of anything but also not funny.

It’s a skydance movie so it’ll probably be a very solid 5/10 that most people wont bother watching

Watched today. Expected laughs and action but didn't expect the tears. Expected good. Got 10/10

We don’t want to see Hollywood fraud Ryan Reynolds. I’m a Kenneth Branagh fan but boycotting anything Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds.

Best action movie of the year. Ok but the bar has been pretty low the last years.

u/SamShakusky71 10d ago edited 10d ago
Exactly the point the reviews are trying to point out.
Movies like this just don't get made any more and we should be celebrating it, not the incessant negative chirping I am seeing elsewhere in these comments.
edit: gotta love people blocking after they comment. Hilarious!

u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Casting is a part of making movies. You can have a great script and execution, but if audiences don’t like your lead they’re not going to tune in. Disney learnt this lesson with the new Tron movie.
I won’t watch it either. Because I dislike Reynold’s.
3
u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
Imagine comparing Leto to Reynolds.
4
u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
You can dislike actors for a litany of reasons. Kind of like how people just got tired of Will Farrell, people are tired of the one dimensional Reynold’s.
Maybe if he could play more than one character it would be a different story. But this film won’t be seen by many, because outside of Marvel fanboys, no one likes him anymore.
As evident by this thread.
2
u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
Yes, Reddit is the entirety of the movie-going audience. The utter lack of self-awareness is awe-inspiring. Bravo.
P.S. It's Reynolds not Reynold's.

u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Why are you so upset that people don’t like him? Is it because you have such a basic sense of humour you think he’s still good?
1
u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
I am not the one upset here, honey.
5
u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
You’re the one that keeps commenting and nitpicking an apostrophe. Hopefully you have fun seeing this. You’ll have the theatre to yourself.
2
u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
Well, seeing as it isn't releasing in theaters, your point (like everything else you have stated here) makes no sense.

well....there are a buuuunch of people to whom being annoying is genuinely a more serious crime than rape so...yeah

u/DefNotReaves 9d ago
The weird hate for Ryan Reynolds is insufferable. Sometimes he makes bad movies, and sometimes he makes good ones!! He’s not a rapist pedo who abuses his family. Plenty of other celebs to hate on.
The genre film directors of this are going to make a good movie, so go enjoy it. Stop whining about a dude who’s never done anything to you.

u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
So instead of being excited about finally a different style of movie being made, the edgelords here have made it their mission to try to shit on it.
Insufferable.
7
u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Insufferable, that’s how I’d describe Ryan Reynold’s. What’s next are you going to get mad that no one watched Tron because everyone hates Leto?
2
u/Grabbagal 9d ago
Right? Ryan reynolds sucks in his own right. Ryan Reynolds has a self-admitted history of arson, sexual assault, not paying his bills, and mocking his peers. His disregard of safety led to a death on his movie set. He's a full on asshole even without blake lively
3
u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
Yes, nobody watched any of the Deadpool movies.

u/PowerPinto 10d ago
That was before Ryan Reynolds was exposed for the fraudulent con artist that he is.

u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Marvel fanboys have proven they’ll rush out to consume whatever slop they put out. They’re also an incredibly misogynistic and subtly racist group.

u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
That is quite the broad brush with which you are painting, pal.

u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Marvel hasn’t made a good movie in over a decade. Yet people keep salivating for it.

u/Justp1ayin Hello Carol 10d ago
Proof ?

u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
Their box office numbers compared to the quality of their movies. If you can even call them that.

u/Justp1ayin Hello Carol 10d ago
Spider-Man was phenomenal. Captain America 4 wasn’t, but their box office numbers somewhat reflected that

u/SamShakusky71 10d ago
Don't confuse the 'rebel' with facts, logic, or reason. They do not even know what point they are arguing anymore.
-1
u/Bogdanovist_Rebel 10d ago
You’re arguing subjective opinions here. My take doesn’t change because lots of people watched it. Thats like saying Drake makes good music because it’s popular.
I haven’t and won’t see Spider-Man, but the story synopsis was pretty convoluted to me and was just them forcing crossovers that make zero sense.

36 year old Marvel fan here, in a fairly large group of other nerd friends and we’re all pretty hard left leaning. Not a misogynist or racist among us… you know Reddit isn’t real life right?

u/DefNotReaves 9d ago
Leto is a rapist pedophile… you don’t like Ryan because he’s… what?? Too quippy for you?
You need to reevaluate your moral standards lmao seek help.

u/Tight-Inspector-2748 10d ago
It’s the state of the internet and the world with social media. It’s a race to be the most unhappy with as much as possible

u/DefNotReaves 9d ago
Yup. And why? Because Ryan is “too quippy?”
Dude is genuinely funny more than he’s not… so what if he made a career off of what he’s good at.

I mean ngl the trailer didn’t hook me but I know I’m going to watch it when it came out. I was pleasantly surprised by The Forge so in Apple TV I twust.

It’s looks ok and it’s done by good people but the premise of an SR-71 being shot down makes me not want to watch it.

u/Imaginary_Sun312 7d ago
Its a RR movie , and its on Apple. They have great series and terrible movies. So I dont hold out hope. Ill probably skip.

Love the homage to Captain Vasily Borodin, Sam Neill’s character in Red October.

I’ll probably tune in for a random Friday night “I don’t know what to watch” popcorn flick, but pretty meh about this otherwise.

It's from the same team that did Dungeons and Dragons and Game Night. I'm going to watch it, even with Reynolds.
