Red Notice is a new Netflix action-heist blockbuster starring Deadpool Ryan Reynolds and Wonder Woman Gal Gadot and Specimen Dwayne Johnson -- which you might've already forgotten about it. Despite this movie being very successful, it doesn't leave any kind of impact, at least not until the eventual sequel comes along. And to find out a few key reasons why that is, let's contrast it against the master of successful blockbusters, Michael Bay. Today's Anatomy of a Failure is all about the dangers of the consumable movie.

Red Notice (2021)
An Interpol-issued Red Notice is a global alert to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted. But when a daring heist brings together the FBI’s top profiler (Dwayne Johnson) and two rival criminals (Gadot, Reynolds), there’s no telling what will happen.

I watched trailer, it didn't felt that cool, interesting as they tried to show.
Red Notice is truly one of the movies ever made.
This is a clever comment
Underrated comment
Absolutely brilliant. This comment should be hung at the louvre.
😂
You forgot the word "crap" in its superlative form in your sentence.
I saw a comment on a trailer that said this looked like “the moviest movie to ever movie.” That is 100% correct and exactly the problem.
This is one of the movies ever
#itonyamoive
I wouldn't say it's 100% correct. This looks pretty boring, & I'm the kinda guy who subjects himself to watching low-effort terrible movies starring Gal Gadot, just to stare at Gal Gadot walking & talking lmao
A lot of illuminati predictive programming stuff in that movie. And Gal Gadot sucks as an actress
@@nofatchicks2315 Look, the movie itself may falter and fall short multiple times, but why go into the conspiracy theory stuff?
Tom Cruise is single handedly keeping American action movies alive through sheer determination and Scientology leveling up.
do you happen to know which specific tom cruise movie he was referring to at 11:26?? it looked rlly good but idk which "one of the best action movies" he means...
@@jay.ostojic It's mission impossible: fallout
When you got movies with Tom Cruise in them; you know they're gonna be 5 baggers.
Bro's got them aliens pitching into the production fund
I like how we just use the actors' names instead of the names of their characters in the movie because the characters themselves are so forgettable. 🤣🤣😂
I mean that’s what happens when you have actors who practically play the same characters in every movie. Ryan and the rock act the same way in everything. I’m kind of worried about black adam because I’m getting the feeling it will be black adam playing the rock instead of the other way around. I personally like gal when she’s not playing Wonder Woman because she has more of a personality when in other things. I can’t take Ryan anymore. Ik he’s been this way before Deadpool but since Deadpool he’s just ramped it up and he’s Deadpool in every single movie now.
@@dominicarroyo6269 Agreed about Ryan. He's just playing himself in every movie. He doesnt act as someone else. He just plays characters that are the same... character as him.
It's like they put more than half of the budget into marketing hahahaha
@@tomboyraider1015 the only time where I really didn't see Ryan as Ryan was the movie Buried, that was like a serious dramatic role for him that he truly knocked it outta the park. The guy has range, lately he's just doing the simple comfort zone in playing himself in his movies. I wish he would do more serious roles like he did in Buried because I think he's very talented and of course likeable enough
Yo I really forgot their names, I can't even remember one😂
This movie is basically if Netflix put every single action/adventure/treasure hunt movie into a blender for 5 hours until it becomes a dull grey mud and then added 3 random famous stars that they found on google and then released it to everyone
That's literally the way they do stuff
Like what Uncharted will likely end up coming out as.
This movie is of a genre that is called "Masala" (literal translation: spice) in India. Targeted more towards Indian audience. Good or bad...well, entirely up to a viewer😄
basically its a disposable film.
I don't know exactly how film distribution works, but I doubt that Netflix has a lot to do with the making of the movie. What I believe happened was that the Rawson Thurber (writer, director) was shopping his script around and Netflix just overbid every other company for the distribution of it, probably because of the big names. I'm not sure, but I think Netflix gives a lot of creators pretty much the freedom to do whatever they want. That can result in great content, but also... Red Notice.
Red Notice: A movie that existed.
One of the movies of all time.
I forgot that I've watched this movie.
Correction - Red Notice: a thing that existed
@@Doomcharger Yes that somes it up perfectly.
@@TomEyeTheSFMguy It is indeed one of the movies that i've watched.
Michael Bay does one thing and one thing very well : Entertainment. His movies are not meant to be intelligent, you won't learn a thing or find a very complicated plot. Nope. What you will get is 2 hours of pure adrenaline action-packed entertainment. You'll see stuff blow up in ways you never thought possible! No one shoot action like he does!
I can give him credit for really knowing how to entertain. I'll always remember the transformers movies for their bangs and their booms.
@@yesmansam6686 Transformers is like my guilty pleasure lol
That’s how movies should be: let us have fun as entertain us, not try to be our fricking teacher like most movies are basically like nowadays
@@silashurd3597 Both are good. Films can be full on entertainment. Films can be interesting and thought provoking. Or both. The problem is when it's neither
@@st0rmforce Yeah, I'd say both, both is good
My wife and I watched this movie together, and I pointed out that it would be impossible for Gal Gadot to throw the human refrigerator known as Dwayne Johnson. My wife disagreed. Then the end of the movie admits that it was only possible because he was working with her and playing along.
You just gave the movie much more thought than the writers.
Ask your wife to throw you. Unless you're a giant fat guy, you should be far easier to throw than the Rock. And your wife, unless she's a quadriplegic, should be around as strong as Gal Gadot.
For me it was the scene where Gal Gadot reveals to them that she owns the prison (or whatever it was,it’s been a while). I was genuinely confused as to why she had the guards bring The Rock along too. That made absolutely no sense to me at all.
I was watching the movie with a friend who had seen it before and he could not give me an answer that made sense without spoiling the movie.
So yeah. Bad twist. Fun reveal! But bad twist.
Hollywood hate Men
I love how when Dwayne's character gets hit by the bull, something that if not instantly killing would at least break several bones, cause internal bleeding and perhaps even gut him, and he just walks off like he wasn't just hit by a truck with horns.
He has a plot armor in all the movies is in
Even superheroes would have had some sort of impact. Dwayne's character just seemed like he got slapped with a big pillow.
You have to be a Spanish Matador for your guts to spill out for real. These Hollywood actors are just hollowed out pork rinds. Nevermind the writer with the hollowed out skull.
The Rock generally has a contract with every movie he's in where he always gives at least as much as he gets. The only movies I know of not adhering to this are that Doom movie with Karl Urban and Red Notice (for the lols but he also takes no permanent damage even though his nuts were literally zapped with a car battery)
Yeah but he’s the Rock
This movie is basically:
The Rock, playing doctor Bravestone
Ryan Reynold, playing Deadpool
Gal Gadot, playing Wonder Woman
no they're playing themselves with paper-thin backstories, no one has powers
Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman? Now those movies make more sense! I thought she was playing a sentient plank of wood.
@@wbbartlett 😆
@@wbbartlett nah . Sentient wood plank was captain marvel
To be fair Ryan Reynolds is always playing Deadpool
This reminds me of how underwhelming and by the numbers that 6 Underground movie was. I've come to the realization that Ryan Reynolds just did Deadpool and due to its success, people are unwilling to admit it was a one-off.
Gal Gadot is kinda getting there too. She was good in Wonder Woman but I've not seen her do anything else that's any good.
Rock is now just an indestructible muscle guy in everything. It's kinda sad that the last time he actually tried to play on that was in Pain & Gain all the way back in 2013. He was muscular still but he wasn't just some immortal action hero.
I feel like the Rock had a lot more interesting roles in movies before he became a mega star and now he just plays himself in everything.
@@Chibi_Sashi same. I think his best acting was probably when he played the gay bodyguard in Be Cool lol.
6 underground is probably more of what he was describing here than red notice, because it was only once I read your comment that I realised I've actually seen that film.
The rock and reynolds both seem to do that a lot - I saw that film where the rock is the security contractor in the burning building, the afternoon after I saw it in cinema someone asked me what I had seen and it took me a while to remember
I really enjoyed watching 6 Underground when it was released.
But I remember no characters except Ryan Renolds.
I do remember some scenes but that's it. Very forgettable movie
-Rock is a B-tier actor who's only popular due to his wrestling career and big muscles.
-Ryan Reynolds just plays Deadpool in every role, the novelty wore off years ago.
-Gal Gadot is also a B-tier actress who only plays the "strong, badass female" type character. Her easily beating men twice her size in this movie was just... ugghh....
Additionally, Wonder Woman movie was only well received because other DC films sucked monkey balls. It's 7/10 at best.
I must say this is the most accurate film analysis I have ever watched. Red Notice is a kind of movie that provides mindless fun and relaxation after a long day.
I love the constant love/hate relationship Filmento has with Michael Bay. He shits on his movies but always calls it better and a good example to the movie he is reviewing.
He hates the writing NOT the parts Michael Bay gets right, and he understands what makes Michael Bay's creations work.
Just like star wars fans, they can hate some of the series, but still love the franchise
@@yanjirujan193 I would rephrase that: a lot of people still do and always will love Star Wars, but there was a shizm and Disney Wars broke the franchise and fanbase into 2 pretty distinct segments.
I mean Bay is shit at storytelling for most of his movies and makes really bad director choices in regards to tone and pacing, but he's at least competent enough to tell a broad strokes story.
Micheal Bay is the king of mid
This movie isn't bad, but to put it another way, this movie would be just as good as if it was just Gal Gadot, Rock & Ryan Reynolds just sitting in a room bantering back and forth
That would honestly be entertaining. I think a lot of celebrities miss out on the EASY money of just doing a podcast shit-talking with other famous people and having an Indian editor splice it together for them.
doubt it would cost as much though :)). i think that CGI bull was about 10mil easy :)))
yeah, lets just watch them play Monopoly or uno or something
@@Laneous14 why does the editor have to be Indian?
@@TomEyeTheSFMguy probably the cheapest you can get that will actually end up usable?
I don't think there's a single person involved with that movie who thought they were making something good, but rather knew it didn't matter as they were gonna go home with a big pay check regardless. They know audiences have become "easy".
9:17 “A gigabyte of RAM should do the trick”
😂 They really did the bare minimum for this movie. I’m impressed.
That was edited in for humor, it wasn't the real line.
@@theoplays3933 Oh, what’s the original source?
@@heyisubbed Under Siege 2, I believe.

That Thanos bit killed me and made me laugh harder than anything in this film.

@@majidqayyum9613 THICC boy
To be fair I too would stop what I was doing if Adele appeared in front of me and started singing
So...I was going to say I really liked this movie...but then I realized that I don't actually remember anything apart from the 3 main actors being in the movie...and I watched it only a couple weeks ago so I should've remembered at least SOME of it, right? Guess Filmento has a point once again.
I forgot the name of the characters 30 minutes after watching the movie, if you ask me for the plot, all I remember it was something about golden eggs.
It was a enjoyable 2 hrs tho... not everything has to be "OMG my life has changed thanks to this movie"
@@SaikoGato That's not the point; movies should leave SOME kind of impression whether big OR small. The idea is that you ENJOYED it not that you were pleasured. People tend to forget the difference between happiness and indulgences, to indulge is to satisfy something, however that doesn't = emotional connection, it's like junk food. We have more junk food movies than actual substance movies and I'm not even talking about, "life changing" I'm talking about new ideas, the basics, etc. Something NEW something different in a way that really gives you some form of a small enjoyment.
This is why I hate moe when it comes to anime; moe is shit in the long run because it's fun junk food but when it's the main characters it's a bog, it's a drag because it's nothing BUT junk food. And if I wanted junk food media; I'D WATCH BETTER JUNK FOOD MEDIA!
@@SaikoGato I never said everything has to be "OMG"...but it would be nice to actually remember the movie I watched for a time. It was enjoyable while it lasted, I didn't feel like I wasted my time or anything, I just expected more for how much it was hyped. SoundRogue actually explained it perfectly.
@@soundrogue4472 I think some movies should be made to just entertain us and allow us to escape for a while. It doesn’t need to be great but just entertaining.
Your comment about these actors just playing themselves in different scenarios is so perfect. It isn't necessarily bad they have such strong personalities/ fame, but it works better when the characters they portray fits the actual person/what they are known for like a glove. Take for example, Reynolds playing Deadpool. He fits the role and the movie so well because it fits the persona we have come to expect Reynolds. We get the right amount of emotion/sarcasm/humor from him and his character because they are so similar that they mesh together and are more believable. Hope this makes sense.
and the bad thing is that that became his core staple.
11:26 On surface level you might say Tom Cruise suffers from the same issue. However, in addition to what you said he is capable of adding variety to his character, he just really loves the Ethan Hunt archetype. For reference check Magnolia and Tropic Thunder.
I watched it with my boyfriend and halfway through the movie we realized that it's a compilation of themes we've seen countless times before. It was so ridiculously and horribly predictable that I became bored and indifferent towards it. The only reason that I stayed relatively focused and entertained was because we made a drinking game out of it. Whenever one of us predicted that something would happen, and it obviously happened, we would take a shot. Best example: they struggled so much to get into the vault. Gal gadot is obviously gonna be waiting for them with some smug tease line. Wow, big surprise. Another example: after all of those adventures they finally made it to the nazi storage. The interpol is obviously gonna come in next moment, with no logical explanation of how they tracked them down. Etc, etc.
We ended up wasted.
Suprised your livers are okay dude..

"The curse of the consumable movie" - basically the description of Netflix. They try to make as much consumable products as they can, and sometimes they accidently get a few solid ones.
And one of the best shows on Netflix aren't even made by them lol, they very rarely get any movie or show right.
Nah they have tons of good indie/art films, but the most watched are always these blockbusters. Same thing with actual cinemas.
The only decent ones they have are the ones they bought, not the ones they made.
@@ErebosGR There are a few masterpieces on Netflix, like Arcane or Kingdom, but none of them was made by Netflix anyway, so my point still stands.
throw enough shit at the wall and some of it will stick
Filmento I love your channel. Because of you I've learned to watch movies differently, and watch them with a third eye! Great work my guy!
I have not watched this film but your commentary is extremely cool and I am sure it could be applied to so many of the production line stuff made today.
It was basically a movie where three likeable actors play themselves for a couple of hours.
It was never going to fail.😀
''Actors''
True
It woulda probs failed hard in the theaters. Movie stars are only seen as interesting in theatrical movies when they're playing big-IP characters. I would maybe disagree with Filmento on Cruise being the biggest movie star on Earth, but I think he would agree with me that Will Smith as some guy I guess in Gemini Man in theaters isn't interesting to people the same way Will Smith as Batman villain Deadshot in Suicide Squad or the Genie in Aladdin in theaters would seem. Netflix is the perfect place to watch "real" movies that are marketed with attractive & likeable actors; there's nothing risky in sitting on the couch, pressing a few buttons, & zoning out, as opposed to putting on clothes, driving somewhere, walking, & paying cash monies in a theater on an original movie that might suck lol.
*two likeable actors
@@BiggerR10 you're right, the 3rd one thats not likeable is Ryan Reynolds
Quite honestly, when Ryan Reynolds was telling his story on the top bunk about his dad, my heart was breaking. And then they completely ruined the moment by Dwayne Johnson snoring. Made me so angry.
Really? That made it even better for me. No irony, no lies
ok@@MajWinters100
Cried so hard probably
Same! The pain was palpable and being ignored is just as painful as any other form of abuse.
And then they played it for laughs.
We can never keep you liberal's happy can we ,,,,,, ah well at least you have something to riot over again
I fight the urge to hit the skip button when the ads pop up while watching this channel. Because I appreciate the quality of work that's being presented.
Netflix is basically making formulaic big budget MOWs.
What’s a MOW?
As someone who has actually ironically been to most of the places they listed in the movie i can say 100% the filmmakers have never traveled outside of the US
Because the locations look fake?
How's that ironic?
@@SalusFuturistics Because he has been there, unlike the movie makers who made a film about being there without being there.
I assume. I don't know how irony works.
@@renard6012 It would be ironic, if HE wanted to make a Movie like that, at those Locations, but his accurate Depictions would be deemed unfaithful/unrealistic.
how is that ironic
6:03 Adele with Thanos as her backing dancer is too much 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for making these videos. As an aspiring writer, I find your channel incredibly helpful.
What a professional review man, nailed it 100%! Totally subscribed
"Seeing her overpower men twice her body weight is just... every film and tv show made after 2016"
Woke feminism really ruins movies and stories and I really hope the culture dies soon
It's known as E. Banks' Charlie's Angels law: a 45-kg untrained female will always overpower a 100-kg hulk because she's a woman and he's a man.
I have no problem with her doing that, but not when one of the characters can take a bull attack and come away unscathed.
One movie that did this pretty well was Mad Max Fury Road. The female lead is pretty badass and can stand toe to toe with males, but the males are also shown to be vulnerable, so it makes sense. When the Rock is out there acting like a superhuman, you can't have him conveniently get beat up by a woman who looks like a toothpick.
Shieeet way before 2016.
Mary Sue formula 😣😡
I watched this with a friend and I thought this movie sucks so bad! But my friend thought it was amazing. It's got no story, no narrative, no progression. Everything that happens is all about pure "convenience"
You should try to have other friends XD Just kidding, it's just different opinions, but he was the lucky one, at least he enjoyed the movie.
I think the key is expectations. After watching the trailer I knew exactly what to expect: ridiculous stupidity that could be a lot of fun. With that in mind, I had a blast. If you were expecting the movie to be objectively “good” I could see how you would be disappointed.
@@movietime1576 nah it's totally him, he has really bad taste, his favorite movie is transformers, don't tell Filmento 🤫
Just when I thought the move couldn't have any more convenience, a car with stale fuel and no oil starts and runs like brand new after being buried in a bunker for 70 years.
Wait the rock has another movie where he's in the jungle? 🤣
Damn, you crushed that explanation. I'm in shock literally. Just wow. Awesome video sir.
Not enough people talk about the Rock in Pain and Gain. I'm glad you mentioned it. For all of the problems in that movie, he was so good that I've re-watched just to see that bonkers performance.
Reminds me of another movie where the Rock plays a specialist, accompanied by a fast-talking funny guy and a beautiful woman, all tracking down a priceless treasure in a far-flung part of the world. But there were actual stakes, injuries received and heroes brutally knocked around, all with a threatening, eccentric villain.
Man, The Rundown was such a fun movie.
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers this movie, it's actually my favourite of his movies
And the thing is that after all this years, i can still remember The Rundown
The Rundown is a hundred times better than Red Notice.
They actually went outside and filmed.
Based on that summary it could easily have been jungle cruise...
Totally honest, the best part about the movie was Ed Sheeran
Because it was actually unexpected and a tiny plot twist at least
god if the best thing about a movie is ed Sheeran then it genuinely must be the worst pile of shit ever.
Ed Sheahan makes garbage ass lowest common denominator horse shit, but to each their own

5:53 is the highlight of this video ;well done filmento
thanos twerking to adele was the most heartbreaking scene of the entire mcu
To anyone who loves this movie, ask yourself this: how popular would this movie be if the 3 main characters were played by total unknowns?
I liked the movie, don't know about love but I'd watch it again and honestly don't have a bunch of problems with it like everyone else seems too. So I'd say, as long as those 3 unknowns were good actors I'd like it almost the same. Like the 2017 power rangers movie, didn't know any of the actors beforehand but thought they all did a great job and look forward to seeing more of their work.
I liked the movie, but I realize full-well that this movie is because all 3 actors got to play to their strengths, and do nothing else. For what it's worth, the same question could be made to this video: how many people would watch it if it was made by a complete unknown, rather than Filmento?
But isn’t that the point of star power? That’s why well known actors get the big bucks, because very few ppl can carry a movie…
@@jeremiahbell6129 Is right. Besides that logic could be applied to any movie I feel like. Would Forrest Gump be as good as it was without Tom Hanks? Would The Godfather be as great without Marlon Brando? Silence of the Lambs and Anthony Hopkins? I think the actors should elevate the script and bring it to life, regardless of whether the script is a good one or a bad one. It’s a sort of synergy.
And for what it’s worth, I saw the trailer and knew exactly what kind of movie it was going to be: stupid, unrealistic, fun ran by these three stars and set my expectations to that. Because of that, I had a lot of fun with this movie. It’s a total ‘Amusement Park’ movie, but an amusement park I wouldn’t mind visiting again.
@@burnettaj4156 exactly, not every movie has to make me contemplate life or even think; sometimes I literally wanna shut my brain down and relax. Although the movie was so predictable that towards the end I was getting tired of it. But I still don't regret watching it and I'll watch the sequel when it gets made.
I enjoyed the first museum scene even laughing when the Rock crashed the sports car after that it was so utterly predictable
Me too. I was hyped at first. Intrigued even. But then it was just a generic thing. The Nazis enigma with the watch was vool6,though
am pretty sure they know that it was not trying to be all that new just wanted to be two actors being fun

@@criticalsurria6773 this is a video talking about a film starring The Rock, not a church. I respect your beliefs but take them somewhere else
Same. I liked the camera work on the chase scene
Brilliant analysis!!
Good as usual and appreciate ad is at the end
This movie also serves as a case study on how not to do a good plot twist.
When a twist is done well, you think back to all the moments where it was subtly hinted at but you didn't notice at the time, or you feel happy how you knew this was going to happen because you did catch the hints.
With Red Notice, though, all it made me do is see how it doesn't make any sense. For example, they show the scene where Gal Gadot steals the egg from the back of the truck again, but it plays out completely differently to how it was shown back when it happened in the movie. If, in the original scene, we hadn't seen The Rock looking for and not finding a hiding Bishop, this would work, but we have, so not only was there no setup at that point, there was a direct contradiction to the twist. Another example is the escape from the prison. Why would the guards be shooting at them if they're supposed to escape, especially with a missile, that they only avoid in a super risky way that the Bishops couldn't even have planned ahead because Ryan Reynolds' character came up with it? And so on and so forth.
If a twist leaves you feeling like the movie didn't cleverly deceive you, but actually lied to you and made up random bullshit just so it can say "haha, plot wist!", it is not a good twist.
Agree with all uou said, this twist feel forced, and this movie is a great example on how holliwood right now.
The problem with your argument is that Dwayne's character was doing his best to confuse and deceive Ryan's character. Ryan's character is also excellent at his job, and astute, so Dwayne would need to be convincing. It was all an act from the beginning, and a great actor doesn't break character. Now, was it a bit convoluted? Most assuredly. These characters live convoluted lives, so I suppose it tracks.
Basically the Oceans's Twelve problem. The twist just makes the movie feel like you wasted your time.
True
@@josephcline3652 Stupidest thing I ever read. Watch a movie like The Prestige, it's literally about magicians trying to deceive one another, Yet, the twist that happens in the end makes complete and utter sense, and was more than hinted towards. You're just making an excuse for lazy writing...

I watched this with my friends. The amount of heist cliches they used was so much to the point that we thought that Red Notice was parodying heist movies. Just to be nice to it.
It stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, and it's on Netflix. It's exactly what it sounds like.
Netflix could have given 25 million dollars to 8 up and coming, daring directors and gotten 8 movies to fill time instead.
@@Laneous14 yup..let's hope they don't make a sequel to this
I think that Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot have fallen into the "blockbuster" phases of their careers, namely where they take roles that "play it safe." Even Tom Cruise, Leo DiCaprio and Gary Oldman had this phase. Maybe, one day soon, The Rock, Deadpool and Wonder Woman will start taking chances on more serious films or something award-worthy, but there's nothing wrong with big paychecks. The vast majority of actors would do awful things for those paychecks. Might as well keep taking them while you can.
when they had done something that is not a blockbuster, quick no google, gal gadot movies before wonder woman?
answer who cares, the mandela effect says that wonder woman was her first movie
Oh, I hope they never will - Ryan Reynolds has attempted a couple serious movies and they all flopped - you want him to be the king of one liners. Those three are also too big already to even care about an award. Sure, at some point they might make a movie to get the Oscar but they are too young for that. Maybe in their 60ies. Gal Gadot literally just started her career with Wonder Woman, before she only had a smaller role in The Fast & Furious.
@@christiangonzalez6945 she had a pretty big role in the Fast and Furious franchise before WW. I don't know any other of her previous roles tho.
@@DerDudelino I predict none of those three will ever even get nominated for an Academy Award.
Rock is Black Adam now lol
Great video, verbalized thoughts I had about this one.
Greatly enjoyed my time here! I hoor you’re having a wonderful day! ❤️
The fact that the WW music fits perfectly with the unedited figthing sequence in Red Notice is golden.
"Give me the same thing only different" is Hollywood's catchphrase. Everybody made money, and nobody died. I call it a win.
Except for the people who gave their time to such an unremarkable project
Yeah, at least it wasn't an Alec Baldwin film.

You make the most sense..........ever. I totally haven’t thought of this movie once after watching it. But I do enjoy watching it. Go figure.
That scene of thanos throwing it back caught me off guard 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Thought the movie was just 2 of 3 actors playing themselves on a generic action movie and wasn’t going to see it. Caught my mum watching it and saw some funnier than I thought jokes in the first half.
Watched it and was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t complete garbage.
Then the twist came and I took back everything I said. Ruins the entire movie and jettisons it back into being a dumpster fire
I didn't even watch it. And I'm glad I did. Regarding the Mission Impossible films. Tom Cruise can act better than all three of them combined.
That is the exact experience I had with it. Decent movie if you don't watch to the end lol
I thought the twist was good though?
I mean it would explain why the fbi didn't ask where their agent went.
@@9051team The plot twist makes zero sense for the story and creates more plot holes then it solves.
@@9051team yea it was good and unexpected, some people just change their opinions because a youtuber had a different opinion than them so then they switch and agree with them 🤷🏼♂️
I call this “Will Smith in the 90’s” syndrome. Remember back in the 90’s/00’s when all Will Smith basically played himself in every roll? My mom even kept a whole section of her DVD case labeled “Will Smith Movies.” It’s the same thing. Will Smith playing Will Smith in Independence Day. The Rock playing The Rock in Moana. Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy. I mean, at least you know what you’re getting when you go see it?
Yeah like when actors don't show range are they even actors? Bit harsh but like come on, work hard on something meaningful. Good point on the Will Smith era.
Except:
Made in America (1993)
Enemy of the State (1998)
The Legend of Bagger Vance(2000)
Ali (2001)
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I Am Legend (2007)
Seven Pounds (2008)
Hancock (2008)
So that DVD collection of your mum with all the 90s/00s Will Smith movies where he basically plays Will Smith is:
Bad Boys (1995)
Independence Day (1996)
Men in Black (1997)
Wild Wild West (1999)
Men in Black 2 (2002)
Bad Boys 2 (2003)
I, Robot (2004) - already a stretch
Hitch (2005)
looks pretty balanced to me :)
Will did sign up for the turn your mind off action flicks but he can definitely act. Pursuit of Happiness and 7 pounds. There are more.
The video "Red Notice Pitch Meeting" (the creator is named Ryan) pointed out that Gal and Dwayne's character didn't even need to do... any of this. They could have simply followed Ryan Reynolds character to the bunker to find/get the egg.
You are right. I enjoyed watching Red Notice about a month ago. Before I clicked to watch this, I realized I had no memory what-so-ever about what it was actually about. It was just "Oh yeah , that thing with Ryan Reynolds the Rock and Gal Gadot.... "
Actually Red Notice is perfect movie for its purpose.
It is not movie for the cinema but for home. You can cook during it and still enjoy it :D
If they want 10 dollars to see this movie I would be upset, but when I get it as a free gift for serial content on Netflix it is OK.
Yeah, i enjoyed this very much. I can babysit while watching this, and still understand and enjoy it, without rewinding. It is very easy to watch, and relaxing
😂😂😂
How is it free if you're giving garbage Netflix your money? Or do you sail the high seas with their movies?
@@MooncricketsInc well it's much cheaper than going to the cinema for each movie you watch one
Youre... @StupidBro
Maybe if they actually committed themselves to making this a full on parody of modern action movies, it could have worked. The pieces are here to make a movie that pokes fun at action movies in a fun way instead of just acknowledging that the tropes exist and doing them anyway.
i also think this would have been worlds better if it was just a straight parody.
Totally, this could have been the “Galaxy Quest” of action movies!
Wow this critique says so much about how a person can choose to live their lives or refuse to live it
I actually loved it. And you are right by the way, this movie is pure entertainment, they could have added a bit more drama but I think they went more with action/comedy so it makes sense
Your description on Gal's character is basically modern day writing of majority of the female action characters though.
Anyone can like what they want to like. Im not saing that you are wrong to like it, im just saing that you are either dumb or have bad standards
*"A cast of stars and that we copy the style of Michael Bay... if it can be called style"*
-The movie
Sizzle burn 💥
It doesn't copy the style of Michael Bay. His movies are bigger. Both in character (especially in some of his better, earlier works like The Rock) and in action sequences.
I'd say it is more in line with, say, Black Widow. Just move from action sequence to action sequence. And then let that cast of stars, mostly the charm of Reynolds and the Rock, make it work.
It actually would have been weird to "show the life" the Rock wanted to get back given that was all a lie, but they probably still would have handled it the same if it wasn't a lie.
I haven't seen the movie, but it's totally possible to show a fake life/lie the character is supposedly trying to get to...just show a photo of something he is saying he desires...a cute kid, a pretty wife, a tropical island, a loyal labrador with his head on a slipper...then later, it can be revealed he stole the photo or it came with a frame or it's a stock photo or whatever. Or give a flashback/dream sequence as he describes this life he longs for...later reveal it was made up. Or even just show a scene that makes it *seem* like the character has a certain life but it was just coincidence and appeared that way to the audience but wasn't so.
Uncut gems next please! The way the movie stresses you out its crazy it would be nice seeing what you take from it
still haven't seen this movie but Filmento's "bread" analogy is hilarious haha xD
Red Notice isn't bad... For 30 minutes after watching it.
Now it's just there. I like the chemistry of the actors, and I like how it's so cliche and predictable that it uses tropes to be enjoyable, but that's about it
Other than superficial enjoyment, this movie just.. exists. The moviest movie to ever movie, as one guy said it
All that I remember in this movie is how glamorous the advertising is. Netflix physically went out of their way to steal a steel globe in the other side of the world
Ah yes the SM MOA globe, which wasn't actually moved from its original place (I think the video showing that was CGI as well?) from what I remember.
Tbh Red Notice felt like an empty movie. You're in it purely for the Rock, Reynolds and Gadot's interactions and if that alone doesn't hook you in then definitely skip. I know it didn't do much for me even as a guilty pleasure - Free Guy oddly enough was a guilty pleasure though and felt a bit more funny with Comer for at least one time viewing (despite writer Zak Penn showing he's out of touch with actual gamers).
Majority of it was filmed in Atlanta so they green screen their way around the world
Eh Rock and Reynolds has chemistry. Gadot felt shoe horned in. The love interest reveal at the end was undeserved.
You're absolutely right! I've felt that movies have started to be about the actors and not about the plot almost as if we were still in the 80s and 90s for so long now. Not only that, they have also just replaced them like for example Arnold Schwarzenegger has been replaced by the rock and Jim Carrey by Ryan Reynolds. Although I do think that the for example Arnold and Jim's movies were better but I am not sure why, do you have any thoughts on why this could be that you'd be willing to share with me?
Bro Ryan Reynolds is a cool dude and everything but Jim Carrey is a master Comedian. Imo Ryan Reynolds doesn't even come close to be as funny as Jim Carrey and i see Ryan more of a normal actor that can be funny.
bruuu a movie staring Arnold and Jim Carey in there primes sounds bananas!
@@Kooljupiter I believe there was some Batman movie . . . .
@@terrylandess6072 I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they were in different movies. Arnold was in Batman & Robin and Jim carrey were in Batman forever.
Actually I like this. I grew up on this actor culture. For example you wouldn't care what the movie is about you would just say: hey a new Mel Gibson movie is out - and we would all know what are we getting in for. I think the 00s ruined that with special effects and ensemble casts but I for one am glad that the concept of a movie star is coming back.
Never noticed this movie, aside from forced YT ads.
And now I'll forget it exists yesterday.
it's like a long trailer of every mainstream action film in one
I knew this movie was going to he mediocre the moment i watched the trailer. The only thing that created hype for this movie was the cast
For me personally. I seriously don't get the appeal of the main actors. That put me off the flim to begin with.
I expected it to be alright, not this bad... sad that this is what people like to watch nowadays
@@harkesh2023 There's something seriously wrong. When this is now the most popular film on Netflix.
I would really love for you to do a video on why Spider-Man: No Way Home succeeded and why Matrix resurrections failed. For me personally, it's the way the two movies utilize nostalgia.
true
but Matrix resurrections didn't fail...
@@robrfoster fail as in writing wise not box office wise
@@owyemen9367 nah, it was a great movie. It's ok, not everyone can understand it.
@@robrfoster did you just pull the fucking Rick n Morty defense on matrix resurrections
Lol, I love you man, great video!
watched this movie while doing the dishes, it really is great background noise
To summarize this movie basically Ryan Reynolds was enjoyable that is all.
You are not tired of his gimmik yet ?
Same crap every movie.
@@salomaonplanetsaturn6038 I mean he is typecasted. You can't watch a Ryan Reynolds movie and go I am tired of Ryan Reynolds, the only reason the casted Ryan Reynolds in the movie is to get Ryan Reynolds. He plays the same character in every movie because on some level it is enjoyable. If you watch one of his movies and you expected different then thats on you. You aren't going to get different from him
@@salomaonplanetsaturn6038 naw the way he acts reminds me of my best friend a brother in all but blood, who is no longer with us so him in movies is very nostalgic for me.
@@salomaonplanetsaturn6038 I mean when i watch a movie with him in it I expect him to act like he usually does so I never hate it
@@paul-juniorblack6151 I would say differently. He don't want to change anything, if it works - it works. In his last two movies, I was tired of him (free guy and Red notice)
It's sad when so much money is put into a movie with literally no sense of identity. It happens in every genre but action movies get way larger budgets for them.
Yes. True
The best thing about this movie is that it really felt like a movie
Its kinda of fun because... I started your video thinking lets see whats that movie about. And then realise... I saw that... And I already forgot about it! So I feel like your opinion is very true!
Mission impossible 6 Fallout costs less and still has amazing fight scenes and this movie at $200 Million just looks a green screen at best. They are ripping Netflix in my opinion ❤️
Fallout is a masterpiece. Not to mention it used alot of practical effects.
Yeah man, the vfx looked like shit imo more than half of the budget of red notice must have been spent on the three leads salary
I can only assume that 90% of the budget was spent on the big names they had in this. Everything else in it seems like some basic cable tv movie that blends in with all the other meh movies.
Maybe the real heist was Universal selling this to Netflix.
Yeah this was such a CHEAP looking 200 million dollar movie. The green screen of stuff like the bull fighting arena was atrocious even at 2002 levels.
Because I wouldn't be interested to watch it on cinema by Universal, but I wouldn't mind watch it on Netflix since I have already paid a monthly fee.
i love how you put ed sheeran on the tags in the title
Wow so at first i was like yeah i never saw this movie . but now halfway into i do in fact recall slightly watching this product
Haven't seen the movie yet, but if it's somehow more forgettable than a Michael Bay movie, that's kind of an achievement in itself
It's remarkable in the way that it is more forgetful, yet also far more coherent than a Michael Bay film.
Michael Bay has some notable features (gratuitous shot, down ward angles, badass military complications, etc.) that make his films really stands out regardless of the quality. There are various videos discussing about this topic on CZcams
I've watched it twice...n only cos I couldn't remember watching it the first time, n this vid made me realize I don't remember much of the 2nd screening either.
I still think “The Rock” was a decent action movie. Sean Connery probably elevated it, though.
Micheal Bay movies aren’t forgettable tho, your talking about them right now. A forgettable movie is something like Battleship or Moonfall were no one talks about them ever.
Oh lord. This review was 100 times funnier than the movie 😆
Wait I remember watching this sometimes back . Brings back some 'FUN' memories.
At 2:17 i remembered that i saw this movie........but i had no recollection of this movie's existence...!!!..wow..!!
Why is this video so much more entertaining than Red Notice itself? Loved all the edits and jokes. Seriously. They seemed to treat this movie like formula or an AI watched 50 action movies and wrote this movie with the end goal of being profit without caring if the movie made sense or was any good.
The biggest problem of this type of movies is that i have to "turn off my brain" to enjoy it.
If i have to ignore everything that makes this movie suck what differences it from using my imagination while im looking at the wall?
Damn this movie made you a stoic philosopher
a wall / mental canvas is definitely more enjoyable
Filmento:
Bringing it home.
The only thing I remmember about Red Notice is that 17 minutes into it I got so bored, I turned it off and immediatly went to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion Episodes 1 to 4 for the first time immediatly afterwards.
Whenever you get Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds being just themselves yet again in a movie, it's fated to be utter trash
My wife and I enjoyed it. We then realized after analyzing the movie the reason we liked it was largely due to it being the rare modern day flick in which we were not message agenda preached to for 90 minutes. The writers only goal was to entertain and give people something to escape into for a bit. The bar for “good” is pretty low these days….
is character development preachy?? i’ve always wondered if that’s what people mean when they say a “preachy” theme or if they mean something like disney’s raya and the last dragon where you wanna stick pushpins into your ears just for them to stop talking about blind trust. is it both?? i’m curious about what’s considers preachy and what thematic stories are acceptable.
your bar for "good" seems to be really low
Great video, as always. Please tell me you are gonna make a video about Matrix Resurrections, please please pleaseeeee XD you're the best.
