    The one year Matt Damon's Bourne has a bad movie, Ben Affleck steps up and is like "Sit down Matty, I got this."

      Well I would not consider something I sat and watch and came out enjoying it a bad movie its obviously not as good compared to 123 but its still pretty good.

    The poor reviews are surprising. I really liked its narrative variety. The accurate depiction of autism, the action scenes, and surprisingly good humour made the film worth the price of admission.

    The fact that he has to say the movie is unconventional in that it doesn't hold your hand and tell you everything shows just how frustrating modern filmmaking and audiences have become.

    • @Joshcoshbagosh
      @Joshcoshbagosh Před 7 lety +14

      Well that wouldn't really make sense because critics loved Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo, Gone Girl, and many of them, despite not liking BvS, even admired his work as Batman. I think the main reason critics are on the fence with this movie is largely due to the autism aspect. Plus it got a 50 percent on RT. That doesn't mean it's universally disliked by the critics. It just means that critics were divided. Half of them liked it. Half of them didn't.

    @dennishena1399 Před 7 lety +195

    I just finished watching "The Accountant". I really enjoyed it. It felt VERY mature. I'm not sure why it has such a low score on "Rotten Tomatoes". I don't think this movie was marketed as your average-Joe's action movie, and it wasn't. Chris Stuckman hit the nail on the head with his entire review. This movie should be at least in the 80%-range on RT. I'd give it an "A" as well!

    • @Joshcoshbagosh
      @Joshcoshbagosh Před 7 lety +6

      I think it's just the controversial topic of autism. You have to be very careful with how you portray something like that. The movie is for people mature enough to understand that having autism doesn't turn you into a superhero. This guy's was just Ina unique situation and it showed how his autism paled to certain strengths kind of. The movie is still meant to entertain. So making him a badass makes perfect sense

    • @maggers2580
      @maggers2580 Před 7 lety +1

      wichita blackhat ive seen the judge and it's one of the worst written movies i've ever seen. it was filled with uninteresting and dull dialogue with very little development or plot whatsoever. it was also very messy. the only thing that saved that movie were strong performances from duvall and downey. this hack also wrote the headhunter's calling, which has a 0% on RT with a 3.2/10 average. This guy is starting to become a red flag for shit writing. He's possibly the next Skip Woods.

    • @artemisfowl52
      @artemisfowl52 Před 7 lety +30

      1. Straight-up action movies tend to do worse in the critic space since they focus heavily on scenes and choreography instead of story and dialogue. This one is no exception.
      2. I'm pretty sure a lot of writers are sensing that Affleck is now an acceptable target because of BvS, and this is a chance for them to stretch their bad movie writing one last time before awards season kicks in.
      3. Some might have hoped for a deep dive into how autism is managed, and may have expected something like Good Will Hunting or Rainman, which this movie is not.
      In my opinion, this was a great action movie that had a very sweet heart to it at its core. For me, the message the film was trying to pass--that people with autism-spectrum are no less capable of great things than you or I--stuck its landing very gracefully. The portrayal of autism by all the actors was some of the best that I have seen, and overall the acting was fantastic. If you like Jason Statham or Jet Li movies, or want to see an uplifting movie about neurodiversity, check this out.

    • @ZoeHewittHosting
      @ZoeHewittHosting Před 7 lety

      I think it's mostly good, but there were some parts that were pretty laughably bad. I suspect that's the reason for the negative and mixed reviews. Ben Affleck's acting was great, though.

    • @christig6422
      @christig6422 Před 7 lety +13

      It IS really good.. REALLY good..... I really don't want to say too much and spoil anything, but I have not gushed this much about a movie in a long time. Can't imagine why any reviewer wouldn't like it, extremely well written, well acted.. drama, comedy, action.. requires some thinking.. yet not hard to follow. Just very well put together and written.

    • @christig6422
      @christig6422 Před 7 lety +4

      I laughed at certain parts, but I think we were supposed to.. maybe the reason it got some bad reviews is because they viewed it as making fun of autistic people..? But I din't take it as that at all...Mostly the scenes between BA and AK. Which were also so very touching and you could feel what both their characters were feeling.

  • @vanysc95
    @vanysc95 Před 6 lety +16

    I loved this movie! My little brother has autism and it definitely reminded me so much of him watching this movie, of how organized he can be, that he’s great with math, and his memory is always on point. I recommend it for everyone to watch, its worth your time

  • @ruthiemay4799
    @ruthiemay4799 Před 4 lety +12

    I give The Accountant an A+. I loved enough to see it over 20 times. I didn't see it at the theater. I purchased the DVD. The most important man in my life has Asperger's and the similarities between the two are heartbreaking yet thrilling. (my sweetie is not an assassin but he is a math savant). What made me angry is the first time I watched it I put the subtitles on the screen, because of hearing loss, and they gave away the identity if the badass being his brother. This is the first time I've experienced subtitles prematurely revealed plot twists. The Accountant is one of my most favorite films ever. I wanted to see him have a new truck delivered to the people on the farm. 🥰🥰🥰

So that's what's confusing... how can this movie be an A- from Chris and only 21% of all reviews are positive? Hoping it's just because other critics didn't understand it or didn't pay enough attention

      @sinisterkiid2301 Před 7 lety

      DewTheDrew And who cares what your bias ass thinks, you probably haven't even seen Ghostbusters nor gave it a real chance, truth is, critics are less bias than general audiences/fans, and know what the fuck they're talking about when it comes to movies, go listen to racist, biased, sexist morons on IMDB

    • @edword777

      "They" (RT) didn't give Ghostbusters a 70%, that's the average from reviews they pull from many other reviewers.

    • @ayushtharval7007
      @ayushtharval7007 Před 7 lety +12

      Rotten Tomatoes didn't give it bad reviews, it just collected reviews from several critics, most of which thought the film wasn't good, and aggregated them. It's that simple. Trust whoever you want to trust, but at least know about the website you're criticizing.

    We saw this movie last night, and I have to say that I was really blown away by it. Thinking more on it, it's probably one of my favorite movies of this year not only for its craft, acting, plot, pacing, etc, but also because it was an incredibly original movie... something that we don't get too often. Sure, we can all say that we've seen the "unassuming guy who's secretly a bad-ass" movie before, but the way this was presented was entirely original and something I've never seen before.
    Plus it really makes me want to see more of this world. I do kind of want this to be a franchise like the Bourne movies (not quite that many tho), I'd like to see another story with these characters now that we have them all fully fleshed out.

      It very well could be wrong. As far as I can see, movie that deviates from the norm of its genre usually gets fairly low rating. It's quite unfortunate that people nowadays just can't seem to form their own opinions without Rotten Tomatoes and critics.

    • @bardiamoose
      @bardiamoose Před 7 lety +17

      RT doesn't give scores. It's an aggregate site that collect reviews from many critics and determines it's fresh/rotten score depending on whether critics gave the film a 3/5 or over (fresh) or anything below 3/5 (rotten).

    Yeah, having Autism has been very difficult for me in my life. I get overwhelmed very easily and I occasionally have meltdowns. While I'm not a badass like Batfleck in this movie, I do have the ability to draw very well. I'm currently working my way into the comic book industry and it's been a journey. I hope that I can show people what people with Autism are capable of.

    Me and my brother just watched the Accountant last night. That movie was awesome, my only regret was that I wished I had seen that movie in the movies instead of the crap that was Jack Reacher 2. That final scene at the end also floored me as well, it was a nice touch for a call back to a certain character at the beginning. I'm hoping for a sequel were they can finally focus on the present since all the backstory was revealed during the first. I always enjoy your smart reviews!!!! Keep it up guy!!!!!!
