I really dig the music.

looks like fluff but it's nice to see fassbender giving a shit for the first time since, like, 2015 lol

[Eric Atreides]

I can already picture the Jojo Rabbit redux where this gets a bunch of Oscar noms and everybody acts annoying and judgy about it all throughout awards season before we all move on to something else. This will be fun.

This and The Killer are dropping on back-to-back weekends. It's been a loooooong drought but the Fassbender hive is finally thriving again.

Hey hey hey he rocked in Alien Covenant. Even Apocalypse for the first half. But yeah, glad he's taking a break from racecar driving

feel like it looks too lightweight for serious awards beyond some comedy/musical globes stuff (could totally see them nominating fassbender twice for this and the new fincher, lol), but it still looks a lot better than i was expecting ngl

[Joel M]

Not gonna lie the Taika shtick has gotten old pretty fast but I'm probably gonna fall for this. Looks like Cool Runnings but with football. What's not to like?

 

at the same time I don't see it playing like an oscar movie ala JoJo or even be on the awards rada,r even with good reviews.

[tonytr87]

Looks like a return to form after making the worst Marvel movie. 

[PrinceRico]

Yeah this would have been better going straight to streaming. Can’t see it being a hit when it looks this generic

[Jonwo]

Really dug the trailer, this is a Taika film for sure but he seems to be better when he's working on smaller budgets.

Welcome back, Mr. Fassbender

[lorddemaxus]

Honestly, this looks fun. Hoping this doesn't get insufferable about the feel-good bullshit like Ted Lasso in Season 2 onwards.

[TheDude391]

This looks really good! 

Pro tip: never give Taika big bucks ever again.

[Saul Goodman]

Looks like a much better Ted Lasso!

Crediting yourself as a loser is a BOLD strategy. Hopefully it pays off in spades for Taika

Looks like this sucks and the avg score on RT seems pretty low too so I doubt it's rebounding like Jojo Rabbit. Also heard there was a transphobic subplot that they ended up removing cuz of poor audience scores.

It's still in the movie according to the reviews.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Oof hoped Love and Thunder was the one misstep (I still enjoy that film somewhat)
