My favorite line "the pain... It will leave you once it is done teaching you" true for so many of us

[@LightningRaven42]

You have no idea how hard shooting this movie was. The movie took a lot of perseverance and heart. And it shows.

[@thefirstthrownmolotov6852]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie, and appreciate that hijra representation is present (sadly Alpha's actor is not hijra). The choreo is fantastic, the cinematography is beautiful and Dev Patel gives one hell of a performance. The song that plays when Alpha and her warriors are kicking ass is "Dana Dan" by Bloodywood. Strongly recommend checking it out on its own.

[@endymionsrage]

Dev Patel knows Taekwondo, has a black belt. He competed regularly in both national and international championships, including the 2004 AIMAA (Action International Martial Arts Association) World Championships in Dublin, where he won a bronze medal.

[@rory_pond1701]

Dev Patel and Sharlto Copley previously worked together on _Chappie_ , another movie by _District 9_ director Neill Blomkamp.

[@ultmotive]

I love the nod to John Wick with the gun and how he didn't take it. It's sort of like Dev Patel's way of saying "yes I was inspired by the John Wick movies, but I'm not going to do the same thing"

[@Agent-57]

John - Something big, bold. Dev - Something small, but effective.

[@grasshopperye3593]

So, I remember my mom telling me that in hinduism, there are four people you're always supposed to honor above god, in this order: 1. Your mother 2. Your father. 3. Your teacher 4. Your guest (in your home). To me, that makes the ending of this movie, where Dev is repeating these devotions to god and thinking about his mom, so much more profound. That scene worked so much for me bc I felt it--not just his trauma, by the end, but his love. It's an awesome choice

[@mranima748]

About Hanuman and Luffy, Hanuman and the similar Chinese counterpart Sun Wukong are basically the inspiration for every Shonen protagonist

[@Agent-57]

Well that's mostly because Kid Goku was written as a Parody of Sun Wukong for the first arc before 21st Tenkachi Budokai, then DB turned into it's own Martial arts action story.

[@kerouac.jackson]

This movie was much better than I was expecting. You always end up wondering what you're going to get when you see a film written, directed by, and starring the same person, and the things I remember Dev Patel from are Skins, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and The Green Knight. And of course, I'm still struggling to forget The Last Airbender. Even so, this was an impressive action film, especially for a directorial debut. And it was nice to see Tae Kwon Do in use as the lead's fighting style. Not named as such in the film, but the moves were recognizable.

[@Silverbirchleaf]

Can't wait to watch this reaction! I saw it in the cinema - it was so intense. Dev Patel is fantastic in it, and what a directorial debut!

[@roudkaross]

I agree with you, while similar to John Wick it managed to stand apart on its own

[@WaltDevil060]

There are rumors that a Monkey Man sequel might come out. However, it will take a long time because Dev Patel went through a lot while making it. Including breaking his hand, a few toes and he had an eye infection

[@fahmi_simin]

It's rarely to see any actor willingly to risk their life to made best action movie in Hollywood. Hope more movie like this for Hollywood now

[@keeneym]

I saw this opening night in theaters with absolutely zero context and I absolutely loved it!

[@cmcgccjsl]

This movie gave me something I never knew I needed to see in the all out battle scene when his friends from the temple arrive as backup. 🙌 Great reaction as always.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Honestly that had to be my favorite part. He helped them heal just as much as they help them.

[@cmcgccjsl]

​@@funnylilgalreacts I love that Dev just wrote and directed a movie for him to have the sort of part he's never been considered for. What a phenomenal directorial debut, and an awesome first performance as an action lead.

[@Beluga_Too]

thanks for this reaction! i was with you for the whole ride and i cried like an ass at the end. thanks again. Dev did so much work for this! the heart in this is wild. alpha and the squad made him better. lots of love.

[@timothy-san1432]

I wasn't expecting you to react to this movie but I'm very happy that you did. Saw this movie in the theaters and I loved it.

[@blehtz7578]

I loved this film! Dev did such a great job and I hope he gets more projects to star/direct. If you haven't already seen them, I'd recommend "Lion" and "Green Knight" for more Dev! The latter ~may be a better experience if you're familiar with the short story of the same name.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Dev Patel also did his own stuns, and actually broke his hand in the process. The man is a real beast! I can't wait to see what he does next. Edit: It is weird to compare this to John Wick, seeing as there's only two guns being used in Monkey Man and the revenge story is a tale as old as time.

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

You should definitely see Hit-Monkey. It's crazy underrated when it ought to be as popular as Invincible. An argument could be made that it's that good.

[@TriDent9274]

im so glad you are reacting to thissssss!!!!! this movie is fireeee

[@samhunt6300]

As an Indian, I 100 percent appreciate what Dev Patel did here. Is it 100 percent accurate to India? Nope, but it is as good as Hollywood can get at depicting my country. It showed beauty and horror, and in my opinion, that represents India so well. It’s damn gorgeous and rewarding, but at the same time, it’s exhausting with a lot of douchebags. Yet, there are also people who are nice to you to a fault.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

If you enjoy this sort of fight choreography and haven’t seen it I recommend watching The Raid and The Raid 2. Truly special films with exceptional fight choreography, and not filmed with shaky cam or heavily edited. The camera lingers in beautiful long shots watching the fight artists work their magic.

[@pabloc8808]

Both Raid movies are brilliant martial arts pieces, and VERY gory, which I appreciate. It's a different type of choreography and cinematography, and they absolutely kill it

[@Agent-57]

Love how first time he goes in with proper planning and waiting but it ends up as a massive clusterfu**. But the second time he just waltz in there and kills his way through by sheer strength.

[@Dubson86]

If you really enjoy Dev I highly recommend "Lion" starring him and Nicole Kidman. He has great acting ability and that film highlights the depth of his soul.

[@alexspindler1]

Awesome reaction! You were so fortunate to see this movie blind. You should absolutely watch the trailer for it after having seen it because it's hype perfection but it presents a movie concept this isn't. It's not Indian John Wick and so I went in thinking it would be a different movie. But the movie it actually is is fantastic. So much beautiful texture to it, well paced, and has a tension to it you don't see often. Him learning to focus his rage is pretty damn awesome and makes the night and day results for his first and second attempts great to watch evolve.

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

Dev Patel is an intergalactic treasure. If you love action like this, I'd recommend taking a look at The Raid:Redemption and its sequels.

[@ShahYT.Official]

Trailer reaction for Megalopolis? It is a scifi movie so....? Also this is the director that made "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." 😁😅

[@MACova1313]

If you're wanting to see Sharlto Copley in more (and really displaying his acting range), then I highly recommend Hardcore Henry. It's a good time.

[@meinctutweh4103]

i had someone argue with me that the scene around minute 38 (of this react) is first person. but this movie had a real first person shot before XD

[@abnurtharn2927]

Sharlto Copley is also in Elysium and Europa Report.

[@ChristianDanielMunoz]

Such a beautiful film

[@_____oo1159]

Yes , definitely way better and different than any of the John Wick films , but I think many people dislike it for the same reasons .

[@BOBBYSON95]

I agree with your comment say the John Wick comparison was unfair in fact they way they promoted the movie was very much geared towards the John Wick audience. Little fun fact the original stunt team for this film was going to be the same stunt team for the John Wick films but because of Covid he could no longer get them so instead he got someone else who has worked with Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen. And yes Sharlto Copley has been in a lot of stuff since District 9 even working with the district 9 director in two other movies because they were buddies before they hit it big with district 9. anyway sorry this comment was so long just wanted to give you this bonus information I thought you'd find interesting

[@damianstarks3338]

Fantastic reaction to this new action movie

[@Lady_Vengeance]

Also another great underseen film starring Dev Patel is The Green Knight.

[@Kheotour-]

Hey Angela. You should check out the Wolverine fan movie called "Logan the Wolf" by Godefroy Ryckewaert. It is fantastic! It is about 12 min long. Thanks for all of the awesome reactions!

[@abemrofchak]

When the hijra in masks bust in to help him fight? Ooh girl. That's peak cinema.

[@Beluga_Too]

fyi dev was nice in taekwondo for some time. so yeah he's doing his own shit.

[@My_Rules_0]

❤❤❤❤

[@wilgarcia1]

💙💙💙

[@169-akashdeshmukh5]

Plz react to "RRR" Indian movie..it is great🔥🔥

[@abhishekmondal7398]

you should checkout RRR movie

[@kamuniajay2100]

This story hanuman god

[@SriSainathReddy]

People more focused on Action but not the woke mentally on our God Hanumanji, Indians shouldnot encourage these type of movies who ruins our "Ithihasam's", I understand why its banned in india and we should encourage what our government doing
