Album Favorite

"I know it's not cool to go with a soundtrack album but, if I'm honest, this is hugely influential. The film is so wrapped up with my teenage years; when I first saw it I was the same age as the main character and I was somewhat terrified of being somebody like that. To see someone who's so nerdy and yet full of himself is frightening at that age. You wonder, 'Do I do things like this?' You become so self-conscious at high school, you worry about what your peers think, you're terrified of looking weird, or being weird. Somehow the soundtrack represents those feelings. There's lots of British music on there, like the Faces' "Ooh La La" and "Making Time" by the Creation. I grew up in a very small town, so a lot of kids I went to school with mostly listened to rap and rock from the radio. But I did have a group of friends who appreciated films like Rushmore and music like this."

Follow that beat
The style of the movie and the natural rhythm of Baby made this movie one of my favorites of the year! I loved every second of the soundtrack and how well it dragged the movie through the storyline. It was such a different way of telling a movie. The gore and violence was a little extreme but paired with the softness of the movie, even the most sensitive could get past that and enjoy the underlying tone.

Finally DC's done it
This movie was such a breathe of fresh air for DC. I was genuinely surprised at how cohesive it felt. The last movie I watched "Batman Vs Superman", a lot of the time it felt like it took itself too seriously. Here, there are some good and funny comedic moments, its action packed and hits the right notes for myself, kids and a class ok

Some of the best dialogue ever written
Incredible Direction
Great Soundtrack
An Insane Joyride Through The Criminal Underbelly
This movie is iconic at this point and rightly so. It is phenomenal from start to finish. There are so many classic lines and electric characters that every scene in this movie is quotable in some form. If you haven't seen it for some reason, do yourself a favour; stop what you are doing right now and go watch this masterpiece.

Great fight scenes
Good 80's soundtrack
Explosive action
A good action film with some great action scenes. The fights are awesome, gritty and well edited. It's not surprising from the same director as @John Wick (2014), this has a similar slick visual style to it. Charlize Thereon looks stunning and really gave her all in the action scenes. The plot can be a bit confusing with a lot of double crossing but overall it's an enjoyable stylish film.

This is one of those films I'm struggling to say veru much about. Not because it's bad, it was actually good but in my eyes fairly unremarkable. It was well made, with some good performances from Ben Foster and Chris Pine and a good script and soundtrack. But for me it just didn't excel. And as much as i like Jeff Bridges, I'm a little concerned he seems to be playing the same character in everything he's been in recently.

No I haven’t but it’s in my Netflix watch list, sounds like it’s worth watching? Is it the one with Jeremy Renner?

Yes it is (: I again watched this, not by choice, on another work trip a year later. But I definely enjoyed it more, the storyline was more engrossing I would say more of a mystery than action.

Excellent
I see what the hype is all about!! When I saw a few trailers this looked liked an odd teen-comedy to me?! After finally watching it, I can say it blends elements of Watchmen, Kill Bill, and Superbad. Quite violent and bloody for a film with a strong dose of comedy. It has some great action scenes, a very cool car and a fine soundtrack too! This film does what it says on the cover, it Kicks-Ass!!

Personally, I wasn’t very impressed by it and thought it could’ve been much better. I absolutely loved the first one as it had a strong foundation building the characters and an interesting storyline, as well as a phenomenal soundtrack. The sequel just didn’t seem to be able to follow its predecessor’s footsteps as the storyline was not only confusing but poorly put together. The action scenes were great but the comedy was a bit over the top with an emphasis on dick jokes.

Got to be one of Tarantino's worst movies, 2 hrs 40 minutes and literally nothing happens till the last 10 minutes. It looks great and has a typically diverse QT soundtrack but is basically one big long rambling boring ego trip. There must have been at least 30 minutes of screen time consisting of Brad Pitt just driving around Hollywood . Pulp Fiction it most definitely isn't. Hugely overrated and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if it were anyone else but Tarantino.
