"Its a long movie that has a lot of scenes" - Chris Stuckmann
"People will be offended"
So what else is new?
lol, exactly
I'm new.
It's a 2018 thing
its a millenials thing
daniel white spoken like a baby boomer
I am Russian and I laughed heartily. I love it when Hollywood takes shit.
I think your country is Shit
"the lead character is confusing", wouldn't be a good spy if you would have had her figured out midway through the movie?
I'm not related to this movie.
Are you sure
I couldn't be more surer.
Callum Sparrow dude are you related to red sparrow by any chance?
Read my comment above.
(x) Doubt
Would have gotten an A+ if Nicholas cage was in it.
Deepfake shall fix it.
eric wong You don't say ?
Who’s Nicholas cage?
eric wong More like an F
Would have been fun if Nicholas Cage was in it
For me, as russian, this film was best comedy for last few years. Can't even remeber when I laughed so hard last time.
All that stupidity of the script, outdated propaganda, staged cruelty, senseless murders - what a great comedy! In this film, all stereotypes that Hollywood shoves in movies about Russia over the past 20 years are combined into one. Was surprised only by the lack of bears paratroopers with vodka and balalaika.
After watching that, I don't think even Tarantino could make more funny movie in trash genre. This movie beats all records of absurdity and humor.
And I'm really surprised that some people perceive this comedy as a historical or documentary film. I refuse to believe that there actually are such stupid people cmon.
I agree this shit of a movie was the most ridiculous propaganda piece imaginable.
@Leman Russ fuck off rachel maddow
its a movie dude. Disregard the names. Think about the main idea, the dilemmas of being a spy etc.
@@franchothings819 If we were discussing, for example "Rambo 3", then your remark would be completely true. Yeah there are tons of propaganda and silly stereotypes , but hey no one ever said it's a documentary or historical aacurate, it's an action movie so no complaints.
But "Red Sparrow" was advertised by media as a historical true and that based on secret documents. While actually it based on cheap fiction novels from 90th about kgb sex spy academy (pretty famous stories at the time). With such falsification of facts - this is no longer "just a movie".
@trha2222 the director stated the opposite, in numerous tv shows he stated that film is based on real KGB documents
pretty easy to google
I loved this movie and it is one of my new favorite movies. It was not confusing in my opinion and I understood why the main character was doing everything she was doing. I thought the plot was laid out perfectly so the audience could understand, but the friend I watched the movie with said he did not understand anything that was happening but I am not really sure why all the reviews and people say the movie is confusing or not grasping to the audience.
Same I don’t understand why it’s confusing if anything what is a similar movie but actually confusing is atomic blonde.
I am a total cynical bastard when it comes to films and will tear them apart. Don't get me started on the recent star wars or marvel films...but I absolutely adored this film. I think the average movie goer wants shootouts and chase scenes and blah blah blah. They get bored easy and just aren't interested in this slower sort of film really. Ignore all the detractors, this film is stellar.
Red Sparrow? You mean *Black Widow?*
Justin Y. No, the Black Widow movie we deserve must be much better.
if it's gonna be pg-13 - then no
Who the f*ck cares about the Black Widow film?
This movie would have sounded better, if it was just called “sparrow” or “red”...has nothing to do with the appeal to black widow..just opinion. However, judging by Chris’s review, there aren’t many similarities...
She is a ridiculous SJW! Move on.
It's time... to get *S T U C K M A N I Z E D*
Stuckmanize me daddy!!
Can you just leave
S T U C C
Oh hey you're back.
Where did you go man?
It’s time... to use my B O T S.
This movie's plot reminds me of the (non-fiction) book "Sexpionage: The Exploitation of Sex By Soviet Intelligence" by David Lewis (1973). IRL, the female agents were called "swallows" and the male agents were called "ravens". I believe the book is currently out of print, but if you get a chance to look it over it's a pretty interesting read.
This film is cold war propaganda level film,nothing make sense in this film...
You dont understand the decisions of characters in this film exactly because they try to demonize the russians...Cause you know all russians are bad and they do evil things because they are Russians they dont need motivation at all...
Not to mention that for some reason they show USA in modern time but Russia apperes to be stuck somewhere in the 1970-1980 this just shows that the people who are making the movies have no idea about Russia what so ever....
I don't get where you get any anti russian or pro US message in this movie. Do you thing that spys are like james bond? gentlemanagreements?
And they don't even realy show russia nor the US in the movie...?
@@NotUnymous
The only good guy in the movie is a CIA spy. If you don't see propaganda, you didn't watch the movie.
@@BackFromSpace and the hero of the story is an UDSSR spy - so what? Beside, they neither glorify the US nor horrify the UDSSR. They just show how horrible it is to work as a spy. Regardles where you're from.
So hold your horses cowboy - not everything is pro XY or contra YX just because some protagonist is from a certain country.
Neither is a movie where nazi germany do horrible things propaganda... or those about corrupt FBI or CIA agents. They are storys in a movie. a plot thats unfolding. and sometimes related to real historical events.
@@NotUnymous The CIA dude (that has a villa with a pool, such tough spy life amirite) makes our hero "feel loved" by banging her to classical music and challenges her to stop being a cog in the machine and exercise free will. "Free will" in this case means defecting to good guys at CIA and getting her colleagues and superiors killed, btw. And it's treated like a nice, wholesome resolution to the story. And that Mordor-like country the movie depicts where a prima ballerina lives in a pigsty and can't afford food and medicine, where nobody has a cell phone and theater staff locker rooms look like they came straight from Silent Hill is not even supposed to be USSR, it's authors' idea of modern Russia. In contrast to elven village of US.
Not propaganda at all. Right.
This movie is a worse red scare flick than fucking Red Dawn.
@@BackFromSpace Красава, поставил этого дурачка на место!
Atomic "MOTHER" Russia.
Lawrence Taylor 😂😂😂
mother Russia is a fucking awesome character...
I want that movie lol
LMAO..reading that comment and drinking juice set me up for failure.
Phantom Taiga sorry I did the same thing when I watched fergie singing the national anthem lol
Don't u mean Black Widow?
Of course not. He meant Salt.
So unfunny and unoriginal. I was really hoping this type of comment would not get this many thumbs up. I guess a lot of Stuckmann's audience are dotards who laugh whenever there is a laugh track.
Yeah... because she's a Russian spy so that automatically makes her exactly like Black Widow in every way right? lol Your ignorance is entertaining.
Unoriginal comment is unoriginal.
@@adamhannon7656 a lot of beats of the story are very similar, that's why some people point that out, not just 'cause Russian spy = Natasha Romanoff
This film is so ridiculous and unrealistic bogged in 50 es or 60es in some scriptwriter's fantasies about soviet life not representing the reality at all. It is completely rediculous.
Unrealistic? How come? It's one of the more perhaps most realistic spy movie I know off... and I know a lot ^^
@@NotUnymous If this film is realistic for you, I’m afraid to imagine what is not realistic for you.
Uuuh yeah,...Let's talk about your miserabel childhood then, mate...
The outrageous mistakes in your comment are ridiculous.
@@NotUnymous It is not about how bad those times were. It is about what and how everything actually happened. What this movie shows is simply lies. Thats it. And the sad thing is that even after people who actually lived in those times there are saying that to you, u still prefer to believe your media and you chose to be extremely rude to people who are trying to explane to you that this movie is trash in telling the story and more than offensive to Russians...
This film is one of the best comedy of 2018. Only Russians can understand it.
Iees. Zis is comedy. But veяy veяy bad comedy
Feels like the story of Black Widow, the look of Atomic Blonde and a dash of Salt sprinkled about.
So.......... It looks like we are not getting a review of the Darkest Hour.
Matt Kid that movie came out 2 months ago
There's never been a review of Room on this channel, and that movie had the best actress winner Brie Larson.
So many movies come out it’s hard to cover them all, and I prefer him covering the smaller less known releases due to a movie like Darkest Hour being fairly well covered in terms of critical coverage
Or Greatest Showman
Matt Kid maybe he doesn't want to
Various twists and turns, huh? Is one of them that she's actually Black Widow? Or Jack Sparrow's Russian cousin?
The twist is that someone who wanted to rape her can not rape her when she offers herself to him. Is there any logic in this ?
@@SafwanNet there was actually some kind of logic in it. Rape is about nothing more than power*. When she offered herself to him and provoked him throughout it she took is power. That’s why he couldn’t get it up. I get what they wanted to do but that scene was really unnecessary in that movie.
* don’t know if I worded that right English isn’t my first language.
OH, you mean La Femme Nikita?
weird that the TERRIBLE accents were not mentioned...
Howard Yuen Could I ask, are you Russian or around them? It sounds really bad to me, too, but I'm not Russian so I thought it could just me? Not sure.
The Rue Morgue Lol ok. Thanks for letting me know!
I have met Russians in my life but by listening to the accents in the trailer, I found it was fine
I live and work around Russians from all parts of the country and assimilated countries. These are some of the worst accents.
Phillip Marlowe Wow ok!
From the trailers, this just reminded me of Angelina Jolie's Salt
not at all the same lmao
I got the same feeling
Completely different movie. A sequel titled “Palace of Treason” (the second book) is expected in the next year or so.
hey chris, how about that netflix dark review?
Pa šutiraj deeečkooo!!! Loved that show!!
Pa šutiraj deeečkooo!!! That show was mind boggling
Pa šutiraj deeečkooo!!! I found it Such a stupid show lmao trying so hard to be dramatic and dark imo. I mean, enjoy it by all means. I'm just one stupid opinion amongst many!
+Elevindollar it's a boring show
Pa šutiraj deeečkooo!!! Dark series is Made in Germany not interested
Love your reviews! Keep up the amazing work!
please do a classics review of THERE WILL BE BLOOD
thumbs up so he can see this
SplinteredX I would hardly call there will be blood a classic. It came out in 2007
it's still over a decade old so i'd personally at least consider it a modern classic and deserves a review nonetheless
Кто от Бэдкомедиана?

Hi, Chris! Carson the critic here! Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the great review! God bless!
This is why I love you, I can sit on your channels for hours on end to rewatch reviews and see how our perspectives collide or synchronize, I watched the ign review and then came here and it is so hard to review a movie in 2 minutes and not hit key points or even mention the elements in a film that must work together to make it great, ign gave it a 2.5/10 and you gave it C, makes this movie still very interesting to me and I have to go see it for myself!
I felt this movie was very cringe & too long. I wanted to walk out. I wish I had.
Red Sparrow? A russian ballerina trained to kill and seduce. I belive you mean Black Widow
D.W Rose mhm
Wait...Black Widow was ballerina? Now that I think about it, I have no idea what’s Black Widow’s backstory at all
Hey Chris, great review. Also I like the lights over your blu-ray collection. Cya
Great review Chris, looking forward to your good the bad and ugly review
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly review?
Can you Reveiw Hostiles please?
I was so curious to hear what critics thought of this movie, since I saw a screening of it back in October.
It's disappointing to hear that it still has pacing issues and is slow in parts, that was one of my big issues with it, that I mentioned in the survey, so I was hoping they would re-edit it, but doesn't seem like they did. I felt a lot of the same as you did Chris. I wanted to like this movie more then I did, but it just was too slow and all over the place for me to really like it.
I am planning to see it when its out in theaters again though, to see if they did change anything from when I saw it last.
Dig the t-shirt Chris! Also love your work. Thank you for all that you do man!
JLaw is not the action type actor.
Kal-El fan 49 She really isn't. I mean you could tell how bored she was in Apocalypse
Kal-El fan 49 actress not actor
She's a terrible actor period.
^^Except for Winter's Bone.
Or The Poker House.
Or Silver Linings Playbook.
or Joy.
And any other movie she's done (besides X-Men Apocalypse, she was pretty bored in that one)
MrImastinker how you can tell she was bored? If she look bored the director would fired her and get another mystique
Chris "That being said this film was a bit of a mixed bag for me" Stuckmann
Great review as always, Chris! Could you please do a series of Pixar reviews leading up to Incredibles 2?
I loved this movie. It was gripping and anxiety driven. Gotta read the books now. One of my favorites I’ve seen in a while. I thought it was easy to relate to how much she loved her mom and had to protect her. She didn’t have a choice but to do what she did. The twist were excellent. Some of what your saying relates to how I feel about annihilation. I just wished that Movie was over. Didn’t relate or feel for anyone in that movie. A couple good moments but all in all boring. I understood everything about it, but I just didn’t like it.
Chris, can you review Fantastic Mr. Fox in honor of Isle of Dogs coming out soon?
Chris hates dogs and stop motion so I doubt he will.
I loved Fantastic Mr. Fox. Such a fun film.
Finally fixed the demonetization eh?
Just wait for it to come on DVD, i cant imagine watching films like these in theatre
how to compare your grading with
numbers??
will you let me understand?
So what did we learn today
Chris didn’t grow up with this movie
Chris can you please review The Ritual on Netflix, its to good not to do one
Tamati Sims yess exactly. A good cult horror movie
Great review man as always!!!
Very good review Chris. You are always a *must* watch.
Chris grew up with red sparrow
Whoa, pretty surprised to hear that this movie is that intense / graphic. It looked kinda paint by the numbers as a spy thriller. I’m super interested in seeing it and forming my own opinion on it. Also, cool shirt.
"and forming my own opinion" Who the hell does that? What is this?
Deadlock I am a radical extremist.
It is really intense believe me! I though the movie was going to be average at best but it was actually really good
Love your reviews!
Great review! Pre-ordered your new book, can't wait to read, even if I'm not an Anime guy.
The people who walked out at his screening probably thought it was a pg-13 superhero movie. Just like for every movie, they don't check the rating.
I just watched this movie on the plane. I hadn't gone to the cinema because of this review and Chris is usually right. Bit this was a really good dark movie. It has similar cinematography to the Girl in the Dragon Tattoo. It had a great twist at the end and I thought the storyline was captivating. I agree with Chris about the fence around the movie, you really are not put in a position to guess what's going to happen but they sprinkle undefined clues that don't come together till explained at the end. I also agree about the ballerina to killer thing didn't really sync. I give it a B+ and will watch again.
Nice review Chris.
Anyone else actually like Red Sparrow? I just got back and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I 100% agree with Chris that the film "builds a fence around itself until the end".
It mostly just seems like an overblown version of FX's The Americans especially the character Elizabeth from it.
Happened to be pooping when the notification popped up. Lucky me!
One of the most relatable comments I've seen in a long time
man I'm taking a dump right now lol
What rating did you give it Michael? Hopefully better than a C+
Oz. I guess he makes you Unstuckman?
Michael Rieman the poop you made was the quality of this movie.
Loved the Shirt, Chris!
i saw the film 6 times in 3 favorite cinemas of mine... we have a cinema here with a red style room, totally perfectly fitting for this movie... i am from germany, germany has amazing cinemas with different styles, one room is made for red sparrow i tell ya, i love this movie, and the german dub was amazing.... can not wait to watch in original english when the blu ray comes out here
I do not need to relate to a character nor do I need to follow or understand the movie perfectly. That's why I can always see it again, even if I didn't like the film. I'm also not ashamed or too proud to admit that I'm not smart and it's hard for me to understand.
It doesn't matter if a film is bad or good. As long as they challenge their audience and be fearless in what they present or say, they earned a level of respect.
Well, this should be your favourite movie then. ;)
Cyba IT I doubt it will be my favourite. It looks good but it doesn't look unique or thought provoking enough. Just a more artistic spy film it seems like.
No, they don't deserve respect, because this film, like a whole bunch of American films, is Frank, false and, frankly, incredibly stupid propaganda. This is just another attempt to denigrate the EVIL RUSSIAN COMMUNISTS that want to steal the moon and draw her a portrait of Lenin. It may sound funny, but USA has released movies like the red danube, red nightmare, red monarch, red dawn, red heat, red hot, red scorpion and... red sparrow... it feels like trying to disgust the very word "red."
Gameplay Video I'm not sure if you're just a troll, just joking, or actually serious.
You can just Google all the movies I mentioned, and you'll know I'm not kidding
lol the american obsession for the character to be "relatable" in order to enjoy a movie. I think I will love this one, seems as divisive as Mother!
When I saw this note, I was like "There were TWISTS?!"
Will you review Showtimes for The Killing of a Sacred Deer?
I mean you can just watch The Americans. The show is excellent!
Now that you've put it (the movie) in the way you have, I'm now more than ever, interested to watch it. I enjoy it too when Hollywood studios venture to produce dark movies that are hard edged, gritty, and have unexpected graphic sex scenes in them. And whether those sex scenes are intentional or not, the important thing is that they serve the plot and overall movie. These are my kind of films; movies that are not your average adult fair; movies that are difficult to box. Thanx Stuckman for the review! Definitely will watch this one.
Sex in this movie in most scenes is not nice at all, quite the contrary. On the other hand it has some brutal and almost "gore" explosions of sheer violence (this sort of violence reminded me a lot of the movie "Possesor uncut", another very interesting movie). It is a dark movie. Which in my view is not per se a bad thing. The acting is fantastic, particularly in the case of Jenifer Lawrence. Photography is perfect. And the music by James Newton Howard fits perfectly in every scene. I have REALLY enjoyed this film, by I have to admit this is not a movie for everyone.
Hey, Chris you didn't make review of The Florida Project!!
Please do a movie review on The Ten Commandments (1956) for the next old movie you do for the month. It'd be awesome to hear your opinions. Keep up the great work :)
when yogi bear appears
Chris you should do more spoiler reviews, it's hard to review movies when you can't talk about the main aspects.
Chris!!! I just saw Annihilation and I'm waiting for that review from you man! So interested to hear what you thought
Please do a spoiler review of "Annihilation"
This reminds me of black widow from The Avengers
justiceingeneral Except Marvel isn’t making the film
Ben Wasserman nah, but you can bet your bottom dollar they'll copy the shit out of it
Snoopy Fod copy the shit out of a film, that copied the shit of their comic...hmmm
Yes cause Black widow is the only female spy in the history /s
Matt Master Russian, ballerina, turned spy, tortured, forced to do things she doesn’t want to, continuously betrays sides...etc etc
Looks like a cross between "Le Femme Nikita" and "The Americans." Think I'd rather stay home and watch those.
Ahhhh I've needed a new video thank you sir. Looking forward to the film!
I honestly enjoyed this movie In my opinion it’s a million times better than the basic old James Bond formula we’ve been getting for years where he/she/the main character just comes and kills the bad guy and saves the day. Seeing people call this movie senseless comedic propaganda or whatever is the funniest thing ever considering Russia does the exact same thing with America or anyone else they oppose I can guarantee you 100% there are thousands if not hundreds of movies where Russia looks like the good guy and America looks like the bad guy or whatever and no one complains about those being propaganda. not one of us we literally could care less.
У нас нет таких фильмов. Ни одного
Tank gang
Review isle of dogs please
Dan the homosapien it comes out next month. Of course he's going to review it
YESSSSS I hope it's amazing. Iv'e got a hard on for 90% of what Wes does.
Hey Chris, I've seen your reviews for all the Marvel Netflix shows and was wondering if you're going to review The Punisher?
Especially considering that JJ season 2 is coming out soon
Where’s the link to the park ranger t shirt?
My favorite body of work for Lawrence is still 2014's hit release "The Fappening."
Hahahha
@Terry 20 thanks
WHERE’S THAT PUNISHER REVIEW STUCKMANN!!!
So excited for this movie! Great review!
You’re amazing, Chris. I enjoy watching you and Jeremy Jahns. You guys are the absolute best. I’ve enjoyed movies my whole life. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is one of my favorite movies. What’s your #1 favorite movie of all times? 😊
Chris why are u sad?
Why is everyone hating this movie, I was really enjoying it.
wow man! great comments! I respect you so much...follow your channel right now.
Nice ink Chris!
Yay another atomic blonde!! (Sarcasm)
Let's review It what’s the point of sarcasm if you have to say that it’s sarcasm right after you do it
Atomic Blonde could've been better if the plot were more straightforeward. The other elements didn't feel that bad to me.
Atomic blonde was actually good. It wasn’t great but it was good
NFL Superfan yes it was good but wasn't great
technobabble123 yea exactly
"There's very little she will not do on screen."
Besides, ya know, emote.
Uhhm, what movie were YOU watching?
A better one.
Lmaoo Jesús with the sex scenes they were so forced and unnecessary. I have learned that anytime a director needs to add that many soft porn scenes typically the movie sucks
Chris why haven't you review'd "The Florida Project" yet?
Love the shirt Chris!
Here come all the Marvel shills with the “Black Widow” comments. Its like these are the only movies they know.
Lol
Yeah these delusional obsessed fans know nothing else other than marvel movies lmao..
Maxx Sorrow I can tell you that most of these "delusional obsessed fans" do know more than just the MCU movies.
We should get a stand alone Black widow movie...I mean if we got a black panther stand alone we also need to see more Scarlett Johanson
Tobito TV nah its just people who always believe being on the superior side gives them these contestant bragging rights to attack and judge others. basically to annoy for their own benefit. I love marvel. Not the (social network) fans.
Chris grew up with sexy Russian women
UnbelievabIeMontages
Sorry mate, but this meme has been kind of dead
well, TIME TO BRING IT BACK!
Almighty loaf it’s ok, Chris grew up with dead memes
Aaron Gutierrez damn that got pretty meta
So Naked Weapon or Red Sparrow? Which do you think is better?
when I see a stuckmann smile, that's a good sign.
What is this movie
C+. You're welcome.
They couldn't even make the trailer look interesting. This trailer got me excited to watch other movies.
Anyone over 45 knows the human race reached peak art decades ago. It's all been done better before. Everything.
That's got to be the most ignorant comment I've ever read.
Jamin Elvers How was the movie?
Jonny Son 😂😂😂😂😂😂 damn
The trailer was so bad that i didn't want to watch the movie but then some friends convinced me to watch it and I actually really really liked it. I was very impressed. Give it a go
Can you review Sleight? It came out around last summer and I was disappointed when I saw you didn’t make a review for it
You handled this very well, balancing out all the elements that maybe make this movie a "at my own risk". You got that across.
