>Gosling and Crowe—an Unholy Alliance
>The Nice Guys is another sub-mental movie for morons churned out by the kind of sophomoric Hollywood machine that trademarks the works of Judd Apatow & Co. Afflicted by the same hammered, incomprehensible immaturity that makes modern American comedies unwatchable by any sane person’s standards, this action spoof of the brain-dead, odd-couple cop-buddy franchises popularized by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, or Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold, is equally dumb and forgettable but not even half as amusing. This one, by the jarringly untalented writer-director Shane Black, is merely violent, vulgar and stupid.
>Shane Black’s credits (wrote Lethal Weapon, directed Iron Man 3) disqualify him from being taken seriously, but hiring him to direct this dog should be anathema to even the greediest moguls in Burbank. But The Nice Guys is depressingly inept by any standards. Every bad movie sets up room for a sequel, but with this idiocy, you’ll pray it isn’t so.

I have this thing for Crowe in action movies. He's the Aussie Bruce Willis.
Gosling a fag.

>>69766245
crowes problem is he can't act, i mean look at master and commander
>dissing on based Shane Black

IF you're going to lambaste a film for being 'trash', you have to be witty. Critics seem to try outdo each other on who can write the most creatively damning piece.
>About as funny as colon cancer
This writer hasn't even tried.
>>69766188
Imagine all beautiful, witty women the writer thought would share this review, all of them giggling at its wit, utterly charmed by the intelligence of someone who is too smart and sensitive for Iron Man and Lethal Weapon.
And instead it gets roasted on a Taiwanese calligraphy consortium.CAN'T JACK THE BLACK

Nope nothing personal about this review
This sounds like an Armond White review
What the fuck? Shane Black untalented? Now this is just being fucking stupid, if you ask me.

>What inspired you to set The Nice Guys in the 70s?
>SB:The 70's in L.A. was wild. There was so much smog that actual SIRENS would sound from time to time, telling you to go indoors. The glamour capitol was fast becoming the porn capital, and every other store front on once-fab Hollywood Boulevard boasted XXX windows. Presiding over this sin souffle was the ultimate symbol of decay -- the Hollywood Sign, in tatters; falling off the hillside, unrepaired and neglected. Great arena, almost Biblically compromised... and a fine arena, we thought, for two tarnished angels to haunt.

I love you Joel Silver
Shane Black wrote one of the best screenplays of all time and I can't believe people don't recognize it.
>>69770421
Yes, he wrote The Last Action Hero. We know.
>comedy is in the best place its ever been and this hack reviewer has the gall to say comedians are unwatchable
>>69767173
Are you a woman by chance?
Holy shit this was average. I smirked maybe once or twice.

You are fucking retarded.
Never speak to me or my board again.

It's not that.
It's that his review's filled with generalizations, exaggerations, and flat-out lies.
Pretty hyped. Seein git later.

Rex Reed:
>In a 2005 review of the South Korean movie Oldboy, Reed wrote: "What else can you expect from a nation weaned on kimchi, a mixture of raw garlic and cabbage buried underground until it rots, dug up from the grave and then served in earthenware pots sold at the Seoul airport as souvenirs?" The Village Voice, which stated that "online forums erupted in protest" at the review, then mocked Reed by imagining him applying similar logic to films from other countries.[9]

Fucking kek

>Shane Black’s credits (wrote Lethal Weapon, directed Iron Man 3) disqualify him from being taken seriously
If anything these qualify him
I really liked the trailer too, it actually made the movie look fun.
>>69766188
What a fucking stupid opinion
Like, honestly unintelligent
>>69774916
So he's such a fucking pretenious nigger he feels the need to explain what kimchi is when making an insult?
If this guy isn't a classic example of "biggest midget in the room" I don't know what is. What a fucking fag.
>>69774916
Offended, at that jab? Just the thing to expect from a nation which prefers to be tricked into watching their under-age incest porn in the theatre.
