That 1 negative review is probably from Armond White. lol

 

Nah, it's from Anthony Lane from the New Yorker.  He found Baby a very dull boy.

Actually, he gave it a fresh review 

when armond goes with the consensus that actually means the formula inverts and every critic except him is trolling.

This would be the first Sony movie with over a 90% Tomatometer since American Hustle

This movie is going to flop SO bad.

Edgar Wright is fucking CURSED.

His biggest movie was that MASSIVE Scott Pilgrim flop 31m DOM, which for some reason was made even if it ONLY appealed to Comic Con fanboys.

He single handedly delayed Ant-man for years when it was being developed besides Iron Man, preventing the Ant from becoming an Avengers founder, and bailed on the movie when they were getting ready to shoot? Who the hell does that?

Define flop. If it's under 60m, then sure, but that's an unrealistic number anyways.

 

This should do above the average Wright film in theaters, and do well on HV, which will be good enough. Esp. since the budget won't be too big.

I feel for the guy, but he had his chance with a blockbuster with Ant-Man but he skipped town. Bad form.

He also destroyed Michael Cera's career with Scott Pilgrim. What career you say? I hate Cera, so I guess this was a good thing.

Now back to Baby Driver, what's the appeal here? Which audience is this movie going for? Will people show up JUST because it is a Edgar Wright film, which has never helped him much in the past much, or does it look appealing on it's own?

with baywatch bombed and ignored, this could be the champion of comedy drama for this summer

I have a lot of casual movie-going friends that refer to this as 'that cool lookin' car chase movie' and they all want to check it out purely because they saw a trailer for it in-front of Transformers. 

 

These same people didn't know the name 'Edgar Wright' when I mentioned his filmography.

 

People are aware of it. Just because people aren't profusely talking about this film or worshiping it's director doesn't mean they won't go see it.

That RT score

Just a $40 million budget for this so that's good to hear.

This post does not make any sense, wasn't Wright basically booted from Ant-Man by marvel? and how did he ruin Cera's career? Cara has had a perfectly fine career and Scott Pilgrim is a very well liked film with a decent size cult following.

 

Also most people don't even know who Edgar Wright is and the ones who do love him, this movie has had a great marketing campaign, stiller critical ratings and should do decent at the BO becuase it looks more accessible then most of his other films, it's not a blockbuster though so it's not like it's going to be lighting up twitter like Spider-Man or Wonder Woman.

Michael Cera actually has 7 movies coming out this year. His career is fine.

Funny how he seems to be appearing in a bunch of stuff this year after so many quiet years in obscurity (This is the End was the only wide release he appeared in between Scott Pilgrim and Sausage Party). I'm guessing being typecast in nerd-type roles didn't help.

I watched Chungking Express when I got home from the screening of this and I liked that more :|

[baumer]

I'm interested in this movie because of the cast, the jokes, especially the Michael Myers one and because it looks pretty damn cool.  

 

I have no interest in it because of Edgar Wright.  In fact, I only know the name because of this website.

Spoiler

The joke is shown in its entirety in the trailer.

ONLY Edgar Wright can make Edgar Wright movies.
