The feel-good film for summer 2021 with a typically hilarious Ryan Reynolds
One glance at FREE GUY the newest big budget offering from Hollywoods favorite action starcomedy master Ryan Reynolds will cause most to approach with valid skepticism. The plot seems like a cheap knockoff of films like Ready Player One or even The Matrix but made in a crude fashion to make more money at the box office. The actual movie however could not be further from the worst estimates. Not only is FREE GUY constantly hilarious due to Reynolds and an inventive screenplay and not only is this possibly the feel good event of the summer but it also has a considerable amount of thought put into the meaning of its premise and places a mirror in front of modern day video game culture.To put it simply perhaps the main reason this movie comes together so well is because of Ryan Reynolds constant charisma and hilarity. Most of his dialogue is clearly either written by him or created by him on the spot I have no idea how he hasnt received a screenwriting credit for this and the Deadpool movies and the film is that much better as a whole because of it. He also interacts with the other actors in the film very well including Jodie Comer and Joe Keery two underrated actors who prove here that they arent just one time stars from their respective television shows Killing Eve and Stranger Things. The ensemble combines to create the most consistently funny movie of 2021 so far.However this movie isnt just hilarity and crazy antics although it could easily get by on those aspects alone. FREE GUY has tons of heart and authenticity despite its virtual reality based plot and is about very human emotions such as disillusionment the feeling of being trapped and of course love. There are times where the heartwarming aspects of this film resemble a charming romantic comedy and others where it gets so existential that it almost feels like The Truman Show. It never dives quite as deep as the latter film but the fact that it even has the guts to include these themes made this easygoing big budget movie a far better watch for me. Sure the last thirty minutes are very cheesy and contain a lot of clichs but the buildup is so solid that it earns some dumb rom com moments near the end.FREE GUY is worth going to see because it is one of the few quality films right now that increases ones faith in human nature. Lately I feel as though I have lost my faith in humanity with all that is happening in the world so it is refreshing to get a movie that feels confident in the human experience. Maybe Im looking too deep into the message of FREE GUY and maybe it was conceived just so Ryan Reynolds could screw around for two hours but either way the price of admission is well worth it for an amazing time at the theater.A

A cute idea...though the first 20 or so minutes is by far the best.
For the first 20 or so minutes of Free Guy I was enthralled. As I watched the film on HBO Max I called my wife over the watch and we both laughed and enjoyed the film. However as the film progressed the movie lost some of its momentum...and this slowed to a crawl later in the movie. Why Well the same problem with Free Guy is the same with Pokmon Detective Pikachu incidentally both starring the likable Ryan Reynolds....plot. Or more like it too much plot. Both films did great jobs world building but after that they both seemed to insist too much on a plot involving a baddie...which is very formulaic but also reduced the magic from the story. I would have rather seen more of the exciting world in both...and less baddies.The story is an odd one...one that is similar to combining The Truman Show Pokmon Detective Pikachu They Live and an online game that plays a bit like Grand Theft Auto And the main character Guy Reynolds is an NPC a non player character in a massive world created for online gamers. However something odd happens.... Guy begins to develop consciousness...and it is driven home when he dons a pair of sunglasses. Suddenly he can see power ups health power ups and more Whats next Well a baddie...and one whose motivations were vague.Overall the film is still worth watching...its good. But the momentum which is going so fast when the film begins just cant be maintained through the course of the film.By the way there are no extra scenes. When the movie ends and the end titles begins the story is over...just in case youre tempted to keep watching.

Free Guy is popcorn movies at its best.
Ryan Reynolds is guy a NPC living in the game Free City. He met Jodie Comers character and discovers things about his world. Theres also a real life part of the film with Joe Keery Jodie Comer again and Taika Watiti.These are all great names. And with amazing direction an original idea and great execution is what makes Free Guy such an endlessly entertaining film.This is a short review because i want to let you see it yourself and be amazed by how good Free Guy actually is.Did I enjoy it Yes. Is it a flawless masterpiece Maybe not. Did I smile throughout the whole film just because how fun it is Hell yeah.

Virtually a good movie
Much like the virtual world in which the people of Free City live the movie Free Guy is virtually a good movie. Most of the elements of a good movie are there but it feels artificial and you can tell that something is off. Its entertaining enough and I appreciated the pop culture references and action sequences but frankly I preferred this version of the story when it was called The Lego Movie.

How likeable is Ryan Reynolds!?
This movie was much better than I expected. It was enjoyable throughout paced well and cast exceptionally. The major strength of this movie is in how damn likeable this cast is. Im not sure anyone could have done this other than Ryan Reynolds. Id recommend a watch.

Half of a good movie
Parts of this were okay with a few good gags and a premise that had potential but its overloaded with stupidity needless youtuber and twitch streamer cameos and a plot that isnt followed through on. Yeah its cribbed from better sources but its not the worst thing ever despite being largely meh. Needed a bit more thought put into the overall concept but for what it was it was okay.

Annoying
Total disappointment. After so many good reviews I went to this with high expectations and it didnt deliver at all.90 of the jokes didnt land Ryan Reynolds is the same as in every other film nothing special nothing new Im still trying to find out that great actress called Jodie Comer as again I find her really unnatural and forced Lil Rel Howery looks like a male version of Tiffany Haddish doing the black role white people like a very childish approach with a pathetic romance and really lame situations...Well at least I liked the world created most of the effects and Taikas role. Unfortunately I think thats all. Ah Dude was funny. A bit.

Ryan Reynolds and great CGI, but everything else was amateur.
Taika Waititi didnt nail down the villain character well enough instead of evil ideas he went with who cares including every dialogue piece. So he breaks the 4th wall from fake acting when ever he speaks. His supporting characters come across patronising for no reason.The other two main good characters are young and havent developed their own personality they mostly smile and say all the right things. Sometimes posing in hero shots sometimes smoothly arguing with volume for no reason. Totally the opposite of calm collected rebels letting off steam which is what the Players in the game are about.If you watch it for Reynolds his characters best friend and the CGI its worth it.

"They Live" meets "The Truman Show"
Shawn Levys Academy Award nominated Free Guy is an homage toparody of the whole culture surrounding multiplayer online games. The movie has gotten compared to The Truman Show but I also noticed a connection to John Carpenters They Live the scene where Guy puts on the sunglasses reminded me of it. Theres also a sense of the underrated Ready Player One.Unabashedly over the top youre sure to love it.

Surpassed my expectations
I entered the movie expecting to laugh out loud and I did. Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi are comedic geniuses. What I didnt expect is the great chemistry between Ryan and Jodie Comer.

But as we progress the movie becomes its own thing. And its fantastic.

I did not expect that this was chosen literally for convenience Id seen the trailers and didnt think Id enjoy it it is so good. Im sometimes hard to please with films but this is definitely worth seeing. Its bonkers its crazy but its funny and actually pretty moving at times a more heart warming film then youd think it would be.Some pretty amazing special effects it is never boring at any stage.Ryan Reynolds is terrific and fans if his will appreciate him being here hes great as is Comer.I didnt expect it to be this good 810.
