Chris Stuckmann reviews The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale. Directed by Robert Zemeckis.

[@DontFeedTheGaben]

"i'm not gonna tell you what happens; i didn't know what happens" "JGL worked with the guy who actually did this" so we know he doesn't fail, thanks chris.

[@newgunz2008]

+DontFeedTheGaben Exactly what I was thinking.

[@MrBooksReview]

+MattyFizzle04 that would be such a great plot twist, lol. Watch your words, rude comments are meaningless

[@mesyslexiyesnomaybesp82646]

+DontFeedTheGaben but you have to feed the Gaben!

[@karlzone2]

+curtisgerdes Except that Chris specifically states how it won't contain heavy spoilers.

[@TheLuisPulido]

He probably did but he survive

[@GGun1t]

Pff Tom Cruise would actually make that walk if he was chosen for the role xD

[@tomaldridge3629]

but the towers are destroyed

[@davewilson5413]

+Tom Aldridge he would rebuild them just to do it

[@crosshair51scope]

Hell yeah he would

[@k123332]

+John Stefanov He'd use his "black witch magic" to do so! lol

[@VinchVideos]

+John Stefanov Are you kidding?? It's Tom Cruise we're talking about. He wouldn't walk, he would run!

[@Maximusringrock]

Wait, so Chris has seen Man on Wire but didn't know how the event turned out before he watched this?

[@abhinandhan22]

+Maximusringrock I am guessing he watched it after seeing this movie

[@johnnyboy562]

+Maximusringrock perhaps he saw man on the wire after watching this...

[@AlkoWasAlreadyTaken]

What doesn't make sense to me is how he said he won't spoil what happens if we don't know, but then 2 minutes later he tells you the outcome.

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

+MrMoviesandstuff that sounds pretty dumb.

[@AlkoWasAlreadyTaken]

+connor mccartney you're saying what I said sounds dumb?

[@lordofbanana6869]

3:25 Great, now i know he'll live...^^

[@TheTonyEntertainment]

+Lord of Banana lol I know! And he said he wouldn't spoil it :(

[@coltongerdes]

Get off KZbin, you baby.

[@Bryan-th6rc]

+Lord of Banana And to think he was my favorite KZbinr just minutes ago...

[@Bryan-th6rc]

***** Are you saying every movie where the main character dies at the end is not viable?

[@Bryan-th6rc]

***** Or just movies that lead up to something great?

[@Fringy]

You kind of inadvertently spoiled the movie by talking about how Joseph Gordon-Levitt trained with the guy who actually walked the wire.

[@Fringy]

Knowing a plot point you otherwise didn't know (which I didn't) about a movie isn't a spoiler according to you. It's not a big deal. I still enjoyed the review, but it was definitely a spoiler for me, as I didn't know if the guy survived.

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

+Harry Johnson of course it is a spoiler

[@jimedward6050]

And for the people who didn't even notice this spoiler.........thanks

[@titusbramble7403]

Not really it's unlikely that in a film like this he's just going to splat on the floor

[@dontrestyourhead]

+Harry Johnson How is revealing whether a character who puts their life at risk lives or dies NOT a spoiler?

[@MrJOSH406031]

OK, WTF has been up with the faces Chris makes in his thumbnails. Usually I like to see his facial expressions in his thumbnails for movies like Mad Max: Fury Road or Fantastic 4 for example. But in this one, it looks like he just saw a ghost or Jesus Christ or like he just walked in on his parents having sex, etc.

[@shaddowrealm]

That last one 😂😂😂😂

[@MacBamboocha]

+MrOhyoursexi's #1 Fan: That last example dude. Anyways it does make sense. Chris said he has a thing with heights, and I by having acrophobia can totally understand his face in the thumbnail! X'D

[@imhellag]

+MrOhyoursexi's #1 Fan hahahah

[@MartiniSaysNo]

That is probably the exact face you'd pull if you walked in on your mum and dad...

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

These thumbnails are getting kinda awkward ^^

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

Reuben Jackson His expressions are so, I don't know...wrong :D He probably took pictures of every emotion he could express in 30 min ^^

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

Ukulele Princess He stares at something....something else ^^

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

iPermanently What does that have to do with his personality ?!

[@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258]

you mean orgasm face..

[@musicmakespeace]

+Andi X does this actually bother you?

[@m4y4123321]

Know what's really interesting? I met this French actor a while back. He did some movies, none of them were big parts, mostly minor roles. But, he was telling me how directors, and producers were telling him that his French accent, wasn't French enough. Audiences wouldn't like the accent he used because it wasn't what they normally hear. Even though he was from France, and developed his accent naturally, he was forced to make another accent that sounded more French. It just tells you how we shouldn't exactly criticize people for their accents, because we don't even know what it's supposed to sound like.

[@UnbelievabIeMontages]

+VEN Productions petit has a strange french accent, you hear him talk and hear how levitt portrays him, it is actually accurate, he is a nut, literary a nut

[@m4y4123321]

UnbelievabIeMontages I know...I both watched man on wire, and this review. I'm talking about the people complaining about how the accents aren't good enough.

[@m4y4123321]

***** Never seen it...but I'm sure it wasn't that bad.

[@Jamzmahname]

I think movies like The Pink Panther made it more difficult for English speaking french actors, because now there's this stereotype of what french accents sound like.

[@USxEGames]

Been waiting for this and Empire Strikes Back. Btw its October my doods. Time to get really fuckin sp00ky

[@Foreveryoung917PS3]

It is fanny pack Friday my dudes

[@hesaidshesaidreviews4903]

This is a famous event that happened 40 years, there was a documentary starring the guy several years ago, and books about it.. and people are still complaining about "spoilers" for saying he survives? The documentary was great... looking forward to seeing the movie, but doesn't sound like it will top the real thing.

[@karlzone2]

Of course people complain about spoilers. Just the fact that it has happened 40 years ago does not mean that EVERYONE has to know about the outcome.

[@victoriathefinch4705]

I watched this movie on a trip, I really enjoyed it.

[@jpateka]

Like on drugs?

[@milaniili9138]

Like going somewhere or high?

[@shrayekkapil1928]

Hi Chris! I live in India and have been watching your reviews for a few months. You are really knowledgeable and its fun to see you talk about movies. Thank you for your awesome reviews! PS: I would love to see you talk about Sam Raimi's Spiderman films. Hope you see this!

[@shrayekkapil1928]

+Jake You said it. I grew up with those movies and feel they are way better than the amazing series.

[@gamesAVALetsPlays]

+Jake The are

[@shrayekkapil1928]

+Jake Yup man. The drama and tension in those movies was awesome. And the action scenes looked better. In Amazing spiderman, the actions look too unreal.

[@basedjebkush2760]

+Shrayek Mathur Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite movies.

[@MegaSilverBlood]

"Stealing a moment in time" , goddammit that was beautiful.

[@The_RedVIII]

Doesn't want to do spoilers, does them anyway by saying that Joseph Gordon Lewitt worked with the actual guy who did the stunt back in the day.

[@The_RedVIII]

MattyFizzle04 No reason to be offensive, I did not even care much, I just pointed it out because I tought it was kinda funny.

[@Motherload3000]

+MattyFizzle04 You must be on your period, this is the third person ive seen you bitch out like this.

[@FeNite8]

October=Empire strikes back November=Return of the jedi December=Star Wars HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No excuses not too.

[@douglaspierce6386]

Or you know, maybe in December he'll review STAR WARS SEVEN

[@theleaker513]

+Scooby Doge That is ridiculous. Obviously he is going to review the Star Wars Holiday Special.

[@MartiniSaysNo]

+The Leaker Nah, he'll review Attack of the Clones again for the lulz

[@DustingBread]

Spoiler alert I guess the guy survived lol.

[@thickturd]

+DustingBread As soon as it was said, I scrolled down to this. lol

[@Stormviation]

Yep, this movie just shows how he and his crew execute the plan.

[@HardcoreGamer101508]

I loved it. The thrill of the wire-walking sequences in IMAX 3D just can't be overstated enough. I also don't what some people are complaining about, but the first half is still a lot of fun. I think it's Gordon-Levitt's best performance honestly (he pulls off the French accent so convincingly and actually speaks smooth French for extended periods of time as well as subtly capturing their mannerisms. He infuses a lot of charisma and charm into this eccentric character, and the whole supporting cast only adds to the caper fun.

[@UnbelievabIeMontages]

+Movie Muscle i think the reason why is that the script plays like a silly comedy at times and then it gets serious, the movie shifts different tones too many times, that it doesn't know what movie it is, but what intrigued me a lot about the first half was the directing choices zemeckis made with the camera, this wasn't just some typical or procedural narrated story, it made a lot of creative decisions and moves on how the film plays.

[@fitz33]

+Movie Muscle I liked it a fair bit, and I would say that it's probably the tone shifts more than the accent that could be a problem for some people. For me, the biggest issue was the way that they did the narration. I thought that was a real problem for pacing/taking me out of the movie. Still worth seeing in IMAX 3D, though! You're right to use the word "thrill"...

[@Cat-mv4gq]

In my own opinion The Walk was freaking amazing. I understood his passion and loved the way it was portrayed. This movie was beautiful and every single scene had me entranced. When the movie was over for the first time I felt like a different person. i was inspired. And I still feel like every time I watch it. For me, only the most breathtaking, astonishing movies can have the affect. This is my favourite movie of all time and I don't think that will change for a very long time.

[@idesofmars]

"oh hey guys im not going to spoil it and tell you what happens..." "...so yeah joseph gordon levitt actually worked with the real life guy" thanks chris.

[@ClosedEyeVisualisations]

He did not spoil it. we know the guy is alive since he was in a documentary you noob.

[@sahilcharania3050]

The heist is "stealing a moment in time". I love how you put that.

[@justsomeguy7556]

This movie is so underrated, more people should know his story. So inspiring, and the incredibly emotional ending leaves you sad. Missing the monument we once had, but also the amazing impact they had on the world. If you haven't already, see this movie!

[@imsorobo]

he didn't wanna tell us what happens to him on the wire, but then later tells us the actor worked with the actual man for this movie lmao

[@imsorobo]

MattyFizzle04 I'm not mad, I found it funny. IDC that he did, you gotta chill, b

[@noahwade3329]

The documentary is incredible

[@Luv2Dnce4]

I spoiled the historical ending of "Titanic" to a couple of clueless teen girls, back when it was first release. They were pissed. I was baffled.

[@user-zh3zy3po4m]

I watch Jeremy, the Scmoes, but at the end I always come here to decide if I watch a movie or don't.

[@anamorgana.]

Wtf is that thumbnail, Chris?

[@Aidansim511]

I hope we get a review for legend

[@tarkusjames7473]

+Aidan Sim That film has been pushed back to November. We won't be seeing that review for another month.

[@tarkusjames7473]

Or, at least, it's been pushed back in America.

[@CoNoR231297]

Chris says at the beginning how he doesn't want to spoil the movie, yet he spoils it later in the review by saying 'If you've seen the documentary Man on Wire... with the ACTUAL man', which implies that the man survived the ordeal.

[@CoNoR231297]

Not everyone knows the true story though.

[@JackMorris]

He just spoiled it . . . talking about how Levitt worked with the real guy . . .

[@babycamps5296]

+MattyFizzle04 No chill, Savage

[@babycamps5296]

+MattyFizzle04 Lmao

[@TheCondorjc]

+MattyFizzle04 you are worthy of the Nobel Peace price

[@babycamps5296]

+MattyFizzle04 I'm not even Mexican, I just have a Taco fetish (つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)つ

[@Ichsukatanuka]

+Jack Morris it was based on real life events that have been in public knowledge for 40 years, what's to spoil

[@00HoODBoy]

always love me some joseph gordon levitt, amazing actor!!! thanks chris

[@jayPi07]

I gotta be honest, I stopped listening to music on KZbin and listen to your videos in the background instead. Love your reviews mate, so damn accurate

[@alexsiclitaru1544]

Still waiting for the Blu-ray collection vid.

[@skyrimmiryks]

Hell yeah

[@paradoxacres1063]

I'm glad that Joseph Gordon-Levitt keeps getting movie roles. I've always liked the guy. (Ever since his "3rd Rock from the Sun" days)

[@VinceAnity]

2:31 I'm french, nice accent :) 3:49 Nice Elephant accent

[@pureownageftw]

There is a documentary about this event and the man behind it. It's called "Man on Wire". I think it won the academy award for best documentary feature.

[@danielattrell]

Robert's last movie was called Flight, and now he has directed The Walk. How Ironic

[@hypnodelica]

Despite Joseph Gordon-Levitts abysmal French accent - purely down to the final wirewalking sequence this was my favourite movie of the year... i had a feeling of genuine vertigo watching him walking on that wire... utterly thrilling....

[@basedjebkush2760]

They need to sell the man on the wire back to marvel!!!!!!

[@louiselanthier5135]

I loved this movie once I got to see it. I would love to see it 3D now! Hope they bring it back!

[@AeroHybrid]

Great review Chris, I can't wait to see this film since it's an immersive thrilling experience

[@know-nothingmillennial3043]

The fact that JGL worked with the guy to get into character tells us something about what happens in the movie.

[@7n154]

I liked this movie. Plenty of suspenseful scenes. It just tried a little too hard to be inspiring in the way that the documentary was. I had no problem with Gordon-Levitt's accent; he's a good actor and his frenchness wasn't distracting at all. But what was really distracting for me was his fake blue eyes. Who made that call?! They're painfully obvious as colored contacts. My only other main complaint is that the brown antique case that Papa Rudy gives him is never explained properly. Yet it shows up three times throughout the movie. If it's that significant, at least tell the audience what it is. (It's an antique measuring tape handed down from Papa Rudy's grandfather used for rigging the wires.)

[@Anderson3798]

Chris! Highly recommend you watch the docu-drama version of this story from 2008 called 'Man on a Wire' - interesting to contrast it with this movie, but well worth your time watching if you have the time

[@forresthunter1483]

How's the MGS V review going?!

[@JokersMidnightShow]

I recently realized after watching the Walk, that Zemeckis is a special effects genius/pioneer. BttF2, Forest Gump, Who framed Roger rabbit, hell, even a xmas carol. Him and his team really help push "hollywood" forward in their quality output.

[@kevinboren6203]

Hey Chris, if you're doing the Halloween special this year check out The Changeling (1980) and The Private Eyes. Both older and overlooked films.

[@Curt_Randall]

I saw this today. I enjoyed it more than The Martian. Both are great movies. But The Walk was so much more than just an Imax 3D spectacle than I thought it was going to be. JGL's acting was top notch (too bad he will get ignored due to the bad timing of this movie with The Martian in the same week). The story has alot of heart and excitement. The final act was a huge pay-off, much more than I expected or ever knew that actually happened. I left the theater with a big smile.

[@iluvatarchem]

The fact that you told us that the actor actually worked with the man is a spoiler Genius:p

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

There is a kid's book called "The Man Who Walked Between the Towers" and it is excellent. Also, the real person taught Joseph Gordon-Levitt how to tightrope walk.

[@mikeb6410]

Same thing happened to me with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and his voice in Capote, you get over it after about 20 min.

[@dignerds]

His passion was simple to understand and extremely relatable....because a lot of people have their own passion,and know what its like to have a passion,even if its not the exact same as someone else's.

[@thecoach3577]

Also everyone complaining you spoiled the fact that he lives can go cry about it somewhere else. He narrates the entire movie from the very first freaking scene. If you watch the first 12 seconds of the movie, you know he doesn’t die.

[@erroldtumaque3430]

i thought this would be a pretty serious kind of movie but all the commentary and overall style was very odd imo

[@type40tardis80]

We NEED a new background tour!!!!

[@christianadrian28]

I hate how movies like this are always underrated because people nowadays only what comedy and war type action, never historical stuff which I absolutely love

[@RollinRocker]

The first half of the movie was great. It shows how he learned from the amazing actor Ben Kingsley and how he met his wife and the crew.I wasn't bored in the least with it.

[@JWUniverse]

Great Review Chris. I'm really looking forward to this movie!

[@RiverOfWetness468]

Chris, in two weeks a Netflix original movie called Beasts of No Nation will be coming out. It's directed by Cary Fukunaga of True Detective Season 1 and stars Idris Elba. If you see it, I'm sure it'll be one of your best films of the year.

[@V1Troger]

Chris, I hope you will read this comment. I think this movie is very important and I surprised you didnt talk about this - this movie IS ALSO about twin towers and memory that thay have. It brings some light in that dark place in our heart created by the event we all know. I glad I saw this movie.

[@horrorfan4life989]

I love this film.I was on the edge of my seat everytime he walked back and forth.

[@twstf8905]

You REALLY need to review "Free Solo." Especially if you're not super comfortable with heights lol this movie was plenty nail-biting, but Free Solo is actually REAL. And, there's a reason it won Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. It's almost perfect. 👍

[@MilesMcCormackMusic]

Chris, please review attack on Titan. Sure, it's crazy popular right now and considered to be "mainstream" anime, but that's why it would be awesome to have your review of the series.

[@jamesnorth8734]

Hey Stuckmann when you are making these videos do you look at the camera lense or are you having a screen on you , are you watching yourself while filming ? Over the past month I’ve watched all your videos , your great at what you do.

[@randperez79]

I miss your ANALYZED and EXPLAINED movie review. I hope the series is not dead.

[@WreckNRepeat]

At the beginning of the video you said you weren't gonna spoil what happens, but later in the vid you said that the actual guy trained Joseph Gordon-Levitt, which means he survived.

[@moviefanatic18Chris]

Since this month is October,will you please review all 3 of the Back To The Future movies(in separate videos).

[@Bobbybg33k]

Love the Princess Mononoke Shirt. I'm guessing you didn't see this in 3D then eh?

[@ryangoss8134]

If anyone wants to know how to pronounce the characters on his shirt its Japanese and it's "Mononoge".

[@nickx1754]

“We know how (JGL) sounds and that’s not how he sounds.” Well, sure, he’s portraying a different person, thus acting. I like your reviews Chris but that comment left me scratching my head. JGL actually studied French for a while earlier in his life and he’s a very good actor overall. I was impressed with his portrayal. The movie was charming and the climax was especially satisfying. Impressive CG for sure. It also felt like a nice tribute to the twin towers without being overtly patriotic or distracting. Good movie, one I plan on buying.

[@joaofleumatico]

Hi big time fan here, I just want to say that your work is really good, you are not someone who just watch the movie and says: it sucks. Feels like you are just a regular guy giving his opinion on movies. :)

[@obscuremedia]

I've seen "Man on Wire" and loved Philippe Petit's passion. I'm so looking forward to seeing this for both JGL's acting and for nostalgia in seeing the World Trade Center restored.

[@BrianDePalmaII]

I actually thought he was going to give it a A or A- especially since there wasn't a ton of negatives in his reviews

[@CanucksGameVlogger]

Where's the empire strikes back review

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

That thumbnail dough, caught me off guard with a good review.

[@amberleewoodhouse5817]

I love the Princess Monenoke shirt!

[@brobergaaron]

Haha, I love how you said you weren't going to spoil if he makes it or not, then you talked about how JGL worked with the actual guy in prepping for the role. Unless he was working with his ghost . . .

[@stiimuli]

Totally with you on the heights thing. The climactic scene in this movie and the Burj Kalifa scene in MI-Ghost Protocol both nearly gave me a heart attack. Even now thinking about those scenes makes my jaw involuntarily clench with anxiety.

[@paulanthony5274]

I must admit I got slight vertigo on watching this film a few years back. I often have dreams where I'm at the top of a building like the world trade center and I feel vertigo then too.

[@ohthepeppers]

Are people _really_ complaining about spoilers for a film based on a relatively well-known _TRUE STORY?_

[@zip2kx]

for years I've heard that starship troopers is supposed to be some deep misunderstood movie. any chance you can do a special on that?

[@user-friendly-b6q]

The Walk should have been nominated for best picture, period.

[@SpaceWindu]

So much for not spoiling it... you just said the real dude is still alive....

[@jiggleykrowzer8768]

JGL was awesome in this, I actually watched the documentary BEFORE the film, and when I was watching the film I totally forgot i was watching Joseph Gordon Levitt.

[@BenignViewer]

_Man on Wire_ is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, it well and truly surpasses this movie adaptation, and is incredibly interesting. It would be nice to see you review that in retrospect Chris, if you have time!

[@dasgebargel8025]

i have always read "toast" when seeing the princess mononoke logo

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Love that Princess Mononoke shirt.

[@owengreene2653]

Chris, I happened to notice that your Mad Max, Road Warrior & Thunderdome blu-rays are right next to your Magnolia blu-ray. Don't tell me you haven't picked up Fury Road yet...but I'm assuming u currently have it in a different area

[@MasterDuelCentral]

You didnt wanna spoil it, but then you said that the old guy was alive and taught joseph gordon levit how to wire walk, unintentionally spoiling he succeeds

[@vgaboy]

a Nintendo 64 with golden eye in it? you are the man

[@RobertRdg]

If Chris Stuckmann replies to my comment, I will cry

[@TamNguyen-um3oj]

I doubt it

Hi! it's Chris on Alex's computer, have a good day :D!

+Alex Baumann hahahaha Chris what? Chris Baumann?

[@livinginvancouverbc2247]

+Alex Baumann The resemblance is uncanny.

[@DarkTenka]

+Alex Baumann Jeez Chris .. couldn't even be bothered to log in on your own youtube account? poor form.

[@louiselanthier5135]

I didn't even recognize Joseph Gordon-Levitt having watched Third Rock from the Sun many times. I thought he was a real French person! He did such a great job along with the cast and crew. By the way, I am Franco Ontarian.

[@HappyAccidentVideos]

"I'm not one of those people who spoil it, just because it was a true story..." I just watched your Zodiac review, and the first thing you say is "it's still an unsolved case, to this day." I was getting ready to watch it for the first time, and decided to watch your review to get pumped for it first. But instead, I got spoiled lol

[@fitz33]

For the people saying that Stuckmann spoiled the film in this review, I can only say that the movie's narration spoils it in the first minute of the film by how it's done...and the movie is still a sweaty-palms, suspenseful, amazing ride to watch...

[@TheAngieRash]

I absolutely Loved the documentary 'Man on Wire' and have actually avoided seeing this film because I read a different review saying it wasn't that great. I've only watched a couple of these reviews, but so far, I feel like I can trust the input here. Looking forward to seeing this movie now.

[@jvieira430]

Should be soon for Chris's empire strikes back review

[@norab42]

I knew about the outcome of this walk back in elementary school because of a short story book that my class got read to us.

[@lukemurphy9861]

Chris, you should watch the original documentary called Man on Wire. It won an oscar if my memory serves me correctly. It is fantastic!
