    I really enjoyed this. Which is not something I'd ever say about a Guy Ritchie film. Good mindless popcorn movie.

    The first episode is way overlong, if you’re struggling then skip to episode 2. 2-4 are fantastic. 5 and 6 could have been condensed into 1, but not as drawn out as 1.

    It’s a brilliant documentary overall.

    Great advice! Don’t be put off ... so worth the watch

    I enjoyed it but it really should have been shorter. 4 episodes would have been about right.

    Yep, Timothy Olyphant's comedic chops still are dubious.. but the kid who plays Eric (the neighbour) is great. Some decent cliffhangers throughout to keep you watching. An easy binge!

    I thought Wild Wild Country was well made but it could have done with being condensed a bit.

    Maybe it depends how intrigued you are with the whole story but I felt it could have been told in half the time.

    I find it an issue with a lot of the Netflix original stuff. I think because they're less restricted by tv schedules they tend to be less ruthless in the editing room usually to the detriment of the show. The most recent season of Jessica Jones is another example of a show that would have benefited from losing a few episodes.

    Game Over Man is a lot of fun and well worth a watch. Devine was a bit annoying and I was actually going to turn it off very early into the movie but stuck with it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Watched it this evening and thought the same. Ideal film for a Sunday evening

    I must be the only one here who didn't mind Adam Devine. I thought the film was a good laugh although mindless crap. Perfect. easy watch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,730 ✭✭✭RocketRaccoon


    Does anyone else notice that Adam Devine is in fact jack black?

    The clothes in that film are so nice epecially the suits Henry Cavill wears.

    Rock n rolla I think is another good Guy Ritchie film.

    I thought Game Over, Man was pure scutter and I was really willing to enjoy it. It was chronically unfunny.

    Gave it 7 minutes and gave up. Watched In Bruges instead, great movie, highly recommended.

    Yeah, so I assume Spielberg then insisted that any Academy member who voted for his Oscar-nominated "The Post" must see it in the cinema and to bin the DVD screener they handed out because it's not how it was meant to be seen. I mean he must have, otherwise he'd be a bit of a hypocrite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,425 ✭✭✭dunworth1


    I watched Game on man last night it has some laughs
    But sometimes it’s too just dumb!

    I think it’s one of those have a few lads over,few beers and then it’s probably fairly funny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Game over, man.

    Could have been mildly entertaining was it not for a really unlikable main character. As it was I spent most of my time feeling irritated every time he was on the screen.

    Lovely.. been looking forward to this.

    If you like your comedian's quite offbeat and dry, you're onto a winner.

    For anyone that hasn’t seen it The Defiant Ones is incredible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭neirbloom


    Victoria is a great movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. Leaving Thursday I think reminded me a bit of Run Lola Run very kinetic fast paced movie shot in one continuous take impressively done.

    I enjoyed Game Over, Man. I'm used to Adam Devine as being mad from Workaholics, so that didn't bother me at all.
    Loved some of the cultural references, the weird antics and the coming out.
    Enjoyable movie.

    Episode 4 of Wild Wild Country, it's OK, fairly f*cking long at getting to a point, there's a lot that could be stripped out of it. Interesting to see that it's the Duplass Brothers behind this, they are not settling on any genre for what they are doing.
