y'know looking at the shortlist for young Han Solo was when i realized that the amount of interesting male actors in their twenties these days is... limited. i don't even know who'd be good for this part. 

 

but what i do know for sure is that there's been a robbery.

Elgort's rise has been meteoric.

This was @Ethan Hunt's parting gift to BOT.

This "actor" was so BAD in "Baby Driver". Even Eiza Gonzalez  just destroyed this kid in mutual scenes, don't even mention  Hamm, James, Berntral, Spacey or Fox. He spoiled the whole movie for me.

I like Elgort, he did a good job in Baby Driver and that Cancer movie. He's most likely going to be a big star.

[SLAM!]

I can tolerate Ansel Elgort in movies for sure. I won't mind if he becomes an A-lister. I do think he has room to improve, though, as everyone does.

[aabattery]

What the hell, man.

[filmlover]

You know they would've gone for Darren Criss with his theatre/Glee background coming off of his Emmy win for American Crime Story if he were a couple of years younger (he's gonna be turning 32 soon).

[MrGamer]

BOT can't stop the Elgortsance.

[Hades]

At least they did not cast some One Direction dirtbag.....

Give them time, they haven't cast Riff yet.

Actually a little surprised they didn't go with Harry Styles. That Nolan seal of approval.

Shoulda gone to Chalamet 

[Goffe]

To me he just exists.

 

Neither adds nor detracts from the experience. Makes the weird hatred for him all the funnier to me.

[filmlover]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Ansolo or anything but the hate he gets confuses me.

 

Anyway, he'll likely be decent for this. It's not like the role of Tony is that juicy (Richard Beymer didn't get a nomination for the original despite the movie winning almost every single Oscar it was up for and the role never got any recognition in its various stage versions either).

Not sure I buy that the lead of a movie with such a good multiplier, getting such review , A- cinemascore can have been so bad (depending of what people mean by that), he is without a doubt dynamic and was well cast (with the needed strange mix of being in an unconventional way tough enough to put himself in that situation but still feel like a little kid on the surface versus the Hamm/James/Berntral).

 

Or acting is just irrelevant enough that you can so bad has the lead and in almost every scene and the movie being a huge success without any franchise pre-awareness and on the word of mouth work....

Yeah, yeah: critics, cinemascore, etc.

 

Here' the bottom line: Did you see the movie?
