Turns out this is really that good. I've just been waiting for a good night that I can get baked and settle in for 3 hours uninterrupted and wow what a ride this was.M1GOmigs wrote: ↑ I just finished RRR, and wow, that was something. It's amazing, goofy, funny, stupid, jaw dropping, musical, action packed, and all sorts of fun.
Throw together Indian filmmaking, Fast and the Furious, The MCU, John Wick, 300, Taken, a crapload of special effects, Bollywood (Tollywood) musical, historical drama, comedy, revenge, romance, bromance, and everything in between, and you get something that's just incredible to witness.
Watch this clip and tell me you're not at least somewhat intrigued:
Visually among the best of anything I've watched in 4K, even the parts that are obviously CGI are still artistically great in the context of the scenes and overall style of the movie. The plot moves so fast and there were a few jarring jumps in events that were briefly confusing but nothing that takes away from this being a wildly entertaining creative masterpiece from start to finish. This film is really doing its own thing in tone and style and does it all so well. It's so serious and not serious at the same time. I love movies that make me think "wtf did that really just happen" like this did at least a dozen times.
The party dance scene is one of the best things I've ever seen and by the finale I was floored by this films ability to keep the foot on the gas and crank up the action. Easily one of the best films of the year and this has to be in the running for best foreign film if not best picture. Incredibly fun ride that I'll be revisiting for sure. Any gripe I have with this film is so minor or subjective nitpicking with it being so intentionally over the top that I'd be reaching for any reason to dock the score so with that said this is a 10/10
