What film did you watch last night?

Ahleckz · 6 Mar 2018 at 22:32

Murder On The Orient Express

I really enjoyed it. Characters were perhaps a bit wooden but it was a nice Monday night film. 7/10!

Unstoppable

Seriously good film which, I found, really grips you throughout.

Then you should get BD in an instant.

I "got" it fine. I just think it's more of a mass appeal popcorn movie than something like Drive.

Just my own preference though. I do tend to lean towards more intelligently crafted films.

Do you mean subtler films?

Hmmm....Really?

What you're saying is BD lacks depth?

Why bother probing?

The guy doesn't watch films and yet critiques them?

NONSENSE

the new Jumanji 6/10 funny in part and Jack black was great but the baddy with the scorpion should have played a much bigger part.

Ever play Borderlands?

Well because of all the chatter today I have watched both Drive and Baby Driver.

2 completely different films. from mood to character development to music to style of driving and the bitter sweet relationship in drive especially after the lift scene, where as the girl in BD loved him no matter what. Enjoyed both, BD was a little too glossy for it to convey the grittiness of it. Kevin spacey played a blinder again but over all BD has too many cringey moments. For me Drive is the better movie by far.

Baby driver is a pretty loud and in your face film. Not much subtle about it.

I much prefer the atmosphere and pacing of drive.

Just my own preference though. I do tend to lean towards more intelligently crafted films.

Although I will come clean, I haven't actually sat and watched baby driver. I saw a few trailers for it and it just looked like it would give me a headache.

LOL!

How is this a fair comment? Ridiculous.

I just know baby driver isn't for me.

It's far too loud and obnoxious, the music isn't to my taste either.

Not saying it's a bad film though.

I don't know why people are comparing them TBH. They are (as you say) very different films despite "bloke drives car" being in both. You might as well compare Alien and Guardians Of The Galaxy because both are "in space". I can understand why a person might like one over the other, but they are really not trying to be the same thing at all.

I enjoyed them both, but I am not sure I'm going to come back and rewatch Baby Driver anywhere near as much as Drive. Baby Driver is a fun, loud, car chase crime movie, where to me Drive is a more grown up, character driven movie about love and revenge.

You can't say it's a bad film, you haven't seen it

I never said it was a bad film though

I know a lot of people like it, so I'm sure it's good for what it is.

I may give it a go sometime, if I can persuade the Mrs

Game Night - 6 / 10

Was ok

Baby Driver

8-9/10 for me - Thought it was brilliant to be honest. Enjoyed it the whole way through, the sound track, the driving and action sequences, the characters. Loved it.

Looks like I need to go and watch Drive now.

Warbie · 7 Mar 2018 at 10:27

Yeah, Baby Driver and Driver are both good movies. And as similar as apples and oranges!

Mother! I can see why this didn't gel with a lot of people and it verged on being pretentious at times, but I enjoyed it from start to finish. Well acted and slightly uncomfortable.

Freakbro · 7 Mar 2018 at 10:35

Personally I found Drive to be as dull as dishwater

If you liked baby driver you may find drive a little boring.

Personally I loved drive though

Red Sparrow - 3/10. Lumpen, meandering, spot the baddie in about 4 seconds, rushed ending.
