Review of Free Guy (2021) by Dotails — 25 Aug 2021

I loved the fun action and world, but 25% was very inappropriate and another 25% was cringe. Fun: I love AI waking up stories and teared up both times. In the future we will live in virtual worlds and this movie gave us a taste of what this can be like in part. Paradise Island, I want to live there and watch AI live their lives.

Inappropriate: Filled with dirty language I counted more than 20 plus obscene gestures, sick physical interaction between Matty and Guy, I'm going to have to edit this movie a bunch so my kid siblings can watch it. Cringe: needed more consultants who were actual gamers and programmers. Both main characters admitted they don't have video games in their house besides words with friends. It was obvious memes were the reference material rather than actual gaming or coding.

From the trailer, I was hoping this would redeem Ryan Reynolds from the fart joke that is Deadpool. Unfortunately these movies taste the same. Ryan Reynolds is a great promotion producer but lacks the moral foundation required to sell the Good Guy.
