Haven't seen a single negative response myself. Except from your man who reviews for Thumped.

I don't know who that is. Anyway I liked it.

This has been getting some of the most mixed reviews of anything I can remember in a while.. The BBC 5 Live lads and The Guardian loved it, but reading reactions from Irish people who've seen it the general opinion seems to be that the characters besides Brendan Gleeson's one are cartoonish and that the attempts at commentary on modern Ireland are clunky. Not sure if/when it'll get a theatrical release over here (Canada) but intrigued to see it all the same.

91% on meta critic and rotten tomatoes. I'd say it's been fairly universally acclaimed by critics.

AMAZING. So many people getting battered in so many different ways. People getting their faces shotgunned off. Bodies being crushed between cars and walls. Legs being bent backwards. Hammers in the eyes. Baseball bats to the head. Throats sliced open everywhere.
WHAT THE HELL MORE DO YOU WANT???

There's 2 amazing big fight scenes, 1 being a completely mental prison battle with dudes running everywhere battering each other and single-take shots with the camera sliding through the crowds as all the madness happens, and the other being the big fight at the end between good bad-ass and bad bad-ass.
The only thing this film is missing is more of 'Mad Dog' from The Raid - he is in it playing a different character, but doesn't get to batter as many people as badly as in The Raid.

Yeah, it's Thumped and The Irish Times versus everybody else so far, so I suppose it is an overwhelmingly positive critical opinion. I should've said disparity between critic's reactions and audience reactions.. this is mainly based on reading the boards.ie film thread and twitter, so take it with several pinches of salt.

Well anyway last night i watched Frozen purely so I can understand 99% of what Buzzfeed talks about these days.

I hated that movie

Oh right. The Irish times didn't like it either ?

I watched Dredd again...which is "a remake of the classic 95 Stallone movie" according to some goon on a website

Here is a 90's corporate rock song the Manics wrote for that film that got canned when Richey went all Houdini on them

I think that was their argument as well.

The Cure and The The both did cracking songs for the Stallone Dredd.

Also, I tried to watch the first Raid and couldn't get into it at all. It was a combination of Dredd (2012) doing it better and having watched The Act of Killing very recently; something about watching a bunch of Indonesian militia going about killing people willy-nilly that made me feel wrong so soon after that documentary.

Yeah I wonder was something bigger originally planned, half a rock album and half an orchestral thing seems weird.

 

[Stereotype]

Does Game of Thrones count as a movie? It's really a long movie, if you think about it. Maybe.

The Raid II was spectacular. Just epic.

I'm seeing Calvary this weekend. Expectations lowered now that it is not Irish Times-approved.

The same critic in the Irish Times also gave The Raid 2 a similarly mixed review, so there you go.

Clarke?

Raid 2 is the kind of movie I'd ignore reviews on anyway. You either like this kind of ballet or you do not, you know?
