Don't put this baby in a corner!

Okay, I'll stop myself before shouting any more bad, corny jokes. Not gonna say much about this as I don't want to spoil it, but it was a fantastic movie! Some of the best car chases I've seen in a long time, great quirky characters, intense standoffs, thrilling action, and a story that surprised me and kept me guessing a few times. Looking back, I'm realizing more and more that they even put in subtle clues as to whats going to happen in the plot and to the characters. And the soundtrack is amazing. Its as important to the film as the soundtrack is to the Guardians of the Galaxy. I highly recommend it! I do have to ask how Edgar Wright doesn't seem to be more sought after than he is. He wrote and directed this as well as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The Worlds End, produced Attack the Block and helped on the screenplay for Ant-Man.


I also feel I should comment on film critics. Right now this holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so I was curious to see what the critics who gave it a low score didn't like about it and see if maybe I was wrong about some things in the movie or if it was just a different opinion. And it feels like what they didn't like was the idea of actually watching a movie. Each negative review I've read complains about things they felt are huge plot holes in the film, but which the movie actually does address. Several times in fact. One review complained that the movie never addressed who the old man the main character living with is or what their relationship is and that it's past over. The relationship between the two is one of the DRIVING FORCES to the plot and is addressed several times! Another complained that the cops didn't think all these robberies were linked and that they weren't a big deal. It's all over the news in the movie and again, shown several times! And last but definitely not least, one review complained about the soundtrack not featuring more tracks by female singers! I'm sorry, but these people should not be considered professional reviewers if they can't be bothered to watch what they're suppose to be critiquing or dragging their personal issues into it. I understand there are those who don't like movies that everyone else seems to, but when you get you're issues with a film completely wrong maybe you should reexamine yourself. Of course there's always the chance people who like or love a movie get things wrong when talking about it, but they're happy and enjoying themselves unlike those who hate it.
