Review of Free Guy (2021) by Theokcringe — 28 Aug 2021

Movies with plots based around video games have been somewhere between mediocre and awful. Pixels wasn't the worst, the Super Mario Bros. movie had an odd charm, but they didn't blow me away. This...kind of did, but maybe not as Disney intended.

I was a little skeptical of the movie's interactions with Youtubers in particular, wondering how much of an influence they'd actually make in the film. This film I think is fantastic for the audience of gamers, showcasing the importance of human interaction, and how games nowadays have gotten far better at embracing that part of gaming culture.

It was still an entertaining film beyond this nailing of audience, however. Funny, quick humor, great acting, fun characters, keeps the audience going. I would absolutely recommend watching this film, especially if you're a gamer.
