I Loved MONKEY MAN

[@dongledude9448]

Jonathan from The Film Drunk the type of guy to order a banana split and say “I’m going monkey mode!”

[@y2kbrae]

I stg for me this was the only movie where I could actually FOLLOW the shaky cam. Dev has made that style his own IMO

[@TheClubOrtiz]

Jonathan from The Film Drunk the type of guy to hire an escort then ask if she’s in it for the money

[@TheFMHatter1986]

Wow what a film, start to finish good acting, the set-pieces were stunning, and the choreography was great. 10/10 for a Dev Patel directorial debut and glad that Jordan Peele suggested a theatrical release and not a streaming platform as I can't stop thinking about this film and want to see it again

[@hvitekristesdod]

Saw it last night. I absolutely loved it. It has flaws but I don’t care. It’s critic-proof. Best camerawork I’ve seen in years Might see it again too. Stuff like this and Dune 2 make me love cinema again

[@hsehovic63]

Please tell me one thing: I know it's hand-held camera work, but are the fight scenes shot with wide lenses so you can see what's happening, among all of the camera shaking?

[@ritwik1410]

@@hsehovic63 i think the shaky camera aligns with the aesthetic of the messy fighting scenes. it gets better as the main character becomes a better fighter which is great visual storytelling. you can definitely see everything and all the hits feel super impactful. i would say that the shakiness gets a bit too much at times but nonetheless its still a very satisfying action movie.

[@SilverScale.]

Loved Dev Patel in The Green Knight. The trailers for Monkey Man were awesome. Looking forward to it! Thanks for the review!

[@munecoin9986]

Bro where are the film drunk awards

[@TKVdaboi]

Loved thissss! Ughhhh the thing that sucks is that I don't know when it's gonna release in India so that I can watch it, rumours are that it's been delayed. In any case, I will go to the theatre to see it!

[@nandinihans9130]

Ikr i was so bummed when I found out it might not release in india. Like cmon finally someone of indian origin breaking the stereotypes and we can't even support him.

[@nish6878]

This movie is full of stereotypes ​@@nandinihans9130

[@ashwinpawar5325]

It's coz of hindutva politics that they might block this movie in theatres unless u edit or cut some portion of it coz it has some anti hindutva elements in it. So ya f*ck BJP and f*ck hindutva!

[@schainaubb]

@@nandinihans9130 It's because the movie portrayed a prominant hindu national badly - which is why Netflix dropped the film.

[@nandinihans9130]

@@schainaubb that makes this even sadder

[@WiiluvNaruto]

One of your best reviews. Super fun and engaging. I'm excited to check this out I've been looking for it forever!

[@themtgdude486]

Honestly, it’s my favorite film of the year thus far.

[@redandpurple317]

"I felt like i could see and feel this movie's heart." EXACTLY. I haven't felt such visceral emotions watching an action movie in a long time. And it's kind of in line with one of Dev Patel's quotes about it : "I want to make cinema that you can almost smell. I want it to feel like a sweaty armpit."

[@ankitamaheshwari7686]

Loved this review! I don't know if I will go watch just because I am really sensitive to gore and violence (still thinking about it) but I am enjoying hearing people who have seen it talk about it. :)

[@rohanxdavis]

I loved this movie as well, and actually loved the claustrophobia of the shots. It really worked for me

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

LOL! Dang. you remind me of when i watch a good revenge drama. I keep thinking I no longer have a vengeful side...and then I see a revenge film or drama and I'm like, "To hell with that mercy crap! Let these creeps get what they deserve!"

[@Jkl66710]

Saw it twice, planning to go see it again. I have simple pleasures: hot men soaked in blood, good cinematography, and trans people kicking ass. This movie checks all of my boxes.

[@Cologram]

I knew I’d at least have a good time with this movie, but I was skeptical at all the glowing reviews because I thought there was no way it could be THAT good apart from the action. So believe me when I say this movie saw my expectations and just kicked the everliving shit out of them. I was expecting to like this but I wasn’t expecting it to immediately become one of my favorite movies of all time. This movie is the epitome of sauce. Dev Patel, I love you.

[@romankotas448]

Throughout its run time it becomes a better movie. It grows with it’s main character

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

I thoroughly enjoyed the Monkey Man as well. Dev Petal and Jordan Peele make a dynamic duo. ❤❤❤❤

[@luccirobbins6675]

Saw it last last night, and man, people are sleeping on this movie. It’s so damn good!

[@trippiemikee_6303]

Ima straight man i luvs waman but.. if i was a woman id have a crush on dev patel bro is handsome 💀💀 the beard is key

[@ceptember.]

*the hair

[@jennydeaf9O9]

da best review.

[@chazzer6545]

saw it last Saturday and i loved it

[@Cinemahguy]

Hyped for it.

[@misstery25]

I agree 100%! This movie was made with passion & rage and it shows. And I love it even more for that!

[@GareBare90]

Oh, the "Hey Arnold!" character finally gets to shine!

[@alyviaashley]

Is best film of 2024 thus far too much?

[@Elijah_Gillard]

I think Dune 2 was a better movie, but this is such an amazing underdog story that elevates the movie even more. its so fantastic

[@alyviaashley]

@@Elijah_Gillard yeahhh I was wondering if I should even comment this without seeing Dune 2 still🫢, totally fair as I’m hearing it’s super well done, alright alright I’m seeing it this weekend

[@snehashispanda4808]

Review manjummel boys

[@MonkeyLadyAndInForAPennyFan200]

I love Monkey Man

[@RSG_TheMonster]

I loved the part where the Monkey Man from Hey Arnold showed up at the end credits scene!

[@Ray03595]

Finally caught this. Good debut from Dev, I was really impressed! The final act is a bit messy if I'm nitpicking, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought he added enough to the film to stand out from other action movies.

[@rounak.mahato]

Didn't love it.

[@greysnake2903]

Me too. Not enough musical segments

[@kieranthorold4495]

This movie is terrible, that’s all I have to say
