    How insightful :pac:

    I, too, felt very let down by Baby Driver. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Even the soundtrack didn't do a lot for me. Maybe I was had preconceived notions based on all the hype? Not sure, but I felt very let down. The Big Sick is still my favourite from this year so far.

    I enjoyed it for the most part but when reviews first game out, they were indicating that the way soundtrack was synchronized to what was happening on screen was genre breaking, I didn't get that at all. There was one scene where baby was walking down a street where it was in sync to the music but apart from that it seemed no different than any other soundtrack that used songs instead of an orchestral score

    There was more to it than that, the gun fire in some of the action scenes was perfectly in time to the music for example.

    I like Edgar Wright but he's descending into even more of a gimmick director with style over substance, (and yes, I know he always had a particular style) his last few efforts have been been pretty underwhelming for my taste.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Ah com on this is harly ground breaking stuff.

    Honestly I thought this was absolute scutter. A lame story with weak dialogue throughout. I actually gave up half way through and I rarely ever do that.

    The only redeeming feature imo was the car chases were done fairly well.

    What makes me sad about that is that most people who see it probably won't even know that it is ripping off Baby Driver.

    I've noticed Bellbottoms being used all over the place in the last few weeks..

    .. but this is truly painful - Lucy Kennedy is absolutely atrocious!

    That video is why there should be some opposite to a thanks button :(

    Watched this last night and I really enjoyed it. I can see the similarities to Drive which I also loved but I didnt feel it was the same or make any comparisons.

    Hadn't heard of it beforehand so had no expectations either. I thought it was just a very good film, enjoyable and easy to watch in the moment.
