Video Game Movie Free Guy comes in cinemas: That's what the review

The movie Free Guy comes to the cinemas on the 12th of August. The Deadpool Actor Ryan Reynolds plays a NPC in a virtual gaming world based on games like GTA V and Fortnite. The film comes well with the critics and gets predominantly positive reviews.

That's why it's in Free Guy: Actually, Guy is a stink normal guy working in a bank. Every day he gets up in the morning, feeds his goldfish and sets out on the way to work. He did not know, is that he is actually an NPC in an online game called Free City, which only exists to amaze his players.

Free City is a colorful mix of playing like GTA V, Fortnite and Payday 2. Accordingly, there are burglaries, raids, shootings and wild chases every day, but that's normal for Guy. He does not know it differently.

Day one, day out, he lives through the same events and raids until he decides a tag to defend himself against one of the burglars. He manages to defeat the player character and take off his glasses, which opens his eyes in the truest sense. Through the glasses Guy can see how the city really looks around him: full of quest markers, health boosts, expers and HP ads. This will change his life abruptly and he decides to use his new knowledge to accomplish good deeds in Free City.

The Saying The Positive Reviews: On the Great Movie Review page Rottentomatoes, the film has so far received a rating of 86% from a total of 98 reviews and thus gets the rating "Fresh". Many of the critics agree that Ryan Reynolds is doing whole work in his role as Guy.

His appearance is refreshingly different from his well-known roles like Deadpool and contribute very much to the warm charm of the film.

[...] the strongest part of "Free Guy" is the natural charism of his actor. Reynolds can play this kind of charming action heroes in his sleep. [...]

Brian Tallerico, critics on Rottentomatoes

Ryan Reynolds seems like a lot of fun with his role as guy, as he already did with Deadpool and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. He is great in these roles [...] and also has the charisma to bring the dramatic scenes correctly.

Avi Offer, Critics on Rottentomatoes

In general, according to a large part of the critics, the film is a beautiful comedy, which is packed with countless pop and gaming culture references, memes, allusions and Cameos of well-known personalities from gaming. Even if some of them are hopelessly outdated, such as Wrecking Ball of Miley Cyrus, still mix themselves with a fun comedy action cocktail.

So you can make yourself on many "aha!" Moments that will remind you of your own experiences in the gaming or internet. Some gamers, however, will also nod in one of the core substances of Free Guy. The film deals with the aspect of the greed of large publisher companies, which are only on profit.

It is impossible to get out of this movie without having a smile on the face. Especially if you are a gamer.

Briana Lawrence, critic on Rottentomatoes

Free Guy is a happy, heartwarming and refreshing original perspective on the ultra-violent world of gaming. It is an unexpected human journey into a digital domain.

Julian Roman, critics at Movieweb

That's the negative reviews: But there are also some critics who were not convinced of Free Guy. Thus, the humor is referred to it as coated and flat and provided with too many special effects. The movie does not know what he wants to be, and throws too many individual theme as free will, group greed and Ki development on a pile.

Also, Free Guy does not bring its own new ideas on the table, but is a kind of mixed mash of movies like Lego Movie, Matrix and The Truman Show.

For an "original movie" Free Guy is not really very original. It is a charming mixture of clichés that was scattered from other films. But without his own coding.

Jake Coyle, Top Critic at Rottentomatoes

However, the amount of negative voices is in the shortcut, whereby Free Guy receives its rating of 86%. To known films that have cut on rottentomatoes are similar, for example:

  • Kung Fu Panda (87%)
  • John Wick (86%)
  • The sixth sense (86%)
  • Mulan (86%)
  • Deadpool (85%)

  • TV Sitcom turns around MMORPGs like Wow and she's just great

Movies about video games often get lousy reviews

For example, the ratings in video game films: Since the initial periods as the gaming has grown by an "outsider hobby" to a billion-densely industry, there was always attempts to bring the magic of video games to the large screen. But unfortunately all these attempts seemed to be occupied by a kind of curse and resulted in often grotto-orched films.

A look at the list of Hollywood movies (via Wikipedia) based on games is rapidly revealing that most of them could hardly manage to score a rating of 40% on Rottentomatoes or more than 50 points at Metacritic. Values ​​in the low range under 20 are not infrequently, as well as single-digit scores.

Movies to games that have received a rating of 60% or more, but you can count on one source. Even large movies to familiar and popular gaming franchises such as Silent Hill (10%) or Assassin's Creed (18%) do not create "the curse" of the tieser video game films.

These films stained years later the perception of the gaming movies and made sure that many new announcements were first received by the Gamern with skepticism, such as recently the film to the franchise monster Hunter. The enthusiasm of the fans about the announcement was limited.

The situation has improved slightly in recent years. With Detective Pikachu (68%) and Sonic The Hedgehog (63%), the evaluation of the gaming films made a significant leap upwards compared to the past. Even the Warcraft movie, which had been cut off in critics bad (28%), has fallen so many a fan of Blizzard.

Free Guy seems to continue this the positive trend now and shows that movies over the gaming can be really good.

"The Last of Us" gets its own TV series and I'm damn hot on it
