Why Guy Ritchie Should Stick To Gangster Movies

[@colbymclemore7642]

The Gentleman was easily one of my favorite theater experiences of that year. Such a good return to form film.

[@idanlewenhoff2295]

true

[@YSLFLACKO]

The movie was amazing to watch and refreshing cause I remember the year being filled with superhero films in cinema.

[@flaurehn]

That "Pond of flesh" scene was one of best bits of acting of McCounaghey, I rewatched it tons of times

[@Vivi_9]

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The dialogue is absolute trash - and I love his other gangster movies. I can't believe anyone could take this one seriously!

[@monkii5258]

[@angus_bangus]

people didn’t like Man From UNCLE? I’ve rewatched that movie at least 5 times and I’ve thought it was a blast every time. Solid 8/10. Maybe I need to take a look at it again, but I remember the script being well done too.

[@rebel_at_stagnation]

You're not alone, mate. I love that movie. Very solid, and I've been wishing for a sequel ever since it came out.

[@raimoore99]

When I rented it, I watched it twice in a row when I first watched it and then showed it to my friend the next day.

[@contrazoompod]

It's certainly one that's been reclaimed over the years. Sadly it has such a stink of a box office failure, it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

[@onetwo1013]

That movie blows

[@jordansweet8054]

I'm glad you liked it. There's some solid action but it's got a dead weight second act and goes on way too long. It's very slow.

[@echecroi]

I totally disagree : Guy Ritchie doesn't need to stick to just making British gangster movies. He just needs to find creative ways to incorporate his unique style into different style of movies.

[@RedBaron44]

His King Arthur and Sherlock Holmes were brilliant

[@dujjansingh2222]

Including COMEDY

[@deej751]

Idk man… Sherlock homes was really good. If he made a third I would love it.

[@Lumpus_]

I'd love to see Brad Pitt in a Guy Ritchie Movie again. I think this was the crucial ingredient that made Snatch stand out from his similar movies.

[@jamesrollins1122]

I appreciate Ritchie's ability to bounce back as a big name director, even after experiencing disappointments and criticisms. Also, it feels like the man has made use of that sweet sweet Disney money from Aladdin to finance whatever kind of movie he wants. I think Man from UNCLE, The Gentlemen, and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre carry on a lot of the tone and style that made Lock, Stock and Snatch so enjoyable to me.

[@F_the_G]

That movie was more Bond than Bond

[@HermanVonPetri]

@@F_the_G Me and my friends also really liked it. And it's hard not to see it as a backdoor Bond audition for Henry Cavil. There's precedent there too. Roger Moore had "The Saint" and Pierce Brosnan had "Remington Steele."

[@22carmoon]

Didn’t understand the hate, thought it was great.

[@DoooBeeDoooBeeDooo]

Man from U.N.C.L.E. is by far one of the most stylish action flicks ever made, while I had to force myself to stay awake during H8ful Eight. Guy has a rare gift : he makes some-what simple story-lines look exciting. That's Talent.

[@chrisbrownsdomesticviolenc4451]

Hateful eight isn’t an action film

[@moseshamlett3887]

Hateful 8 isnt Guy Ritchie

[@the_SolLoser]

I love the King Arthur movie. I watch it all the time. Same with the Sherlock movies. I think his style works just fine outside of gangster movies. His style works best with gangster movies, but i think it translates well to others. I think he'd make an amazing Robin Hood movie, if given the chance.

[@FilmscoreMetaler]

It's a pretty underrated movie tbh. I've shown it to friends, no one had ever heard of it before but they all really enjoyed it.

[@bamflyer]

The music in King Arthur is so good

@@bamflyerYou have to thank composer Daniel Pemberton for that awesome soundtrack. He also did the soundtrack for Across the Spiderverse!

[@АлександрАнтипин-к6д]

Well, if we dare to think further, King Arthur IS a true gangster movie, but in different setting. And it works great! So bad we won't have another one in near future

[@atomsofstardust]

Snatch is still one of my favorite film, such an amazing dialogue and pacing! Gentlemen was a really great return to what Ritchie’s doing best, so I enjoyed that movie a lot too.👏🏻 Frankly, I’d love if he embraced being that “one trick pony”, because his gangster movies are great, and almost no one is doing anything similar (and similarly good) anymore, which is a bit of a shame. But, honestly, he should do whatever he wants, as long as once in a while he delivers another Gentlemen or something similar for old time fans😅

[@nathanslay6342]

Snatch, The Gentlemen, and Wrath of Man are all fantastic to me!! This is where Guy Ritchie really succeeds in his greatness, imo. I hope he makes more movies like those.

[@maltesharalikatti2818]

His Sherlok Holmes movies just blew me away. His style of direction we'll suited the movies & I'm still waiting for the third one. That's a genre too that He's really quite good.

[@traxx75]

I was 9 when I watched it the first time and it actually got me into the classic Sherlock Holmes books even though they are a bit different. To this day I love both of the Sherlock Holmes movies, there's nothing I don't like about them. The dialogues, and overall atmosphere is so unique compared to normal thrillers, Hans Zimmer music is a cherry on top

[@Hrz]

The Gentlemen is tremendous and easily one of my favorite movies to watch at any time. I'd agree he's at his best when it comes to the gangster films but I thought The Covenant was certainly worth watching too.

[@michaelriverside1139]

Gentlemen is nifty, but it's still far from Snatch or Two Barrels, since it has moments where it wants to be taken more seriously, similar to Rock'n'rolla, his stories definitely work better as that one story a guy at a pub told me, rather than something more "serious", or perhaps I just found Wrath of Man way too meandering and boring...

[@RocketPropelledWombat]

The Covenant was a banger.

[@eyeofodin01]

Man, I loved every single movie mentioned except swept away. I'm a HUGE Guy Ritchie fan and honestly, I'll show up for whatever he decides to direct. In my mind, the dude doesn't miss. Even if everything is of the same quality, I've never came out of one of his movies thinking that I wasted my money.

[@Noname19992]

The fact that people will complain about King Arthur having CGI villains, and then proceed to watch a marvel film just shows you the level of intelligence we have in the 21st-century.

[@Starkweather133]

Can I complain about both? Sorry I'm not a strawman

[@selfportrait8363]

King arthur was an excellent film. The cgi is the only misgivings people can find about it. Although the marketing was atrocious, which inevitably destroyed it chances at the box office

Tbf I think he did well with the man from uncle. But yeah his gangster movies are unmatched imo

[@michaelrumsey7932]

I think the biggest shortfall with UNCLE is a lot of people want it to be something it's not. People really want it to be saying something or have some mastermind plot, but really it's just 100% vibes 100% of the time. Tbh how much can you expect from a 60s TV show remake

Man from UNCLE is criminally underrated. The camera work and lighting during the interrogation scenes alone makes it worth a watch.

[@BrickersInArms]

Operation Fortune was a really fun film. It was a throwback to slick, enjoyable action flicks of the past that make good cinema-going but aren't reinventing the wheel.

[@joesamson26]

I am patiently waiting for the sequel to Rock'n Rolla. Not sure why that's been put on the back foot if indeed, he's returning to his roots. He intended to make a sequel (potentially even a trilogy) and he hasn't so much as acknowledged this for a very long time. If he wants to scrap the project, he should at least say so. He owes his fans that, at least.

[@shockwave.studios]

Timing is gone for that unfortunately, but at least one of his works will receive a sequel of sorts, Gentlemen TV series is/was in works.

[@joesamson26]

@@shockwave.studios If that's the case then OK but I'd prefer to hear that from Ritchie himself. Though, in saying that, they've made much worse sequels over greater time spans. Sequels we didn't need or want but got anyway.

The Gentlemen is one of my favourite movies ever and it’s seriously slept on. Everyone I know really likes it, and it’s plot is probably my favourite of his films

[@V3ntilator]

Guy Ritchie weren't alone. Matthew Vaughn were his second half. When Matthew went solo, it affected the next Ritchie movies. Jerry Bruckheimer became a nobody when Don Simpson died, because Simpson were the main force behind that team and not Jerry. There is often a duo behind these successes.

[@garrettp7003]

I haven't even watched the video yet and am already in agreement since I've been pining for this for years. I miss gangster Guy Ritchie.

[@rig-zag]

Snatch, Lock Stock and Rock N Rolla are all legendary flicks in my opinion, so sharp, quick and witty. But Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur really weren't that bad either. And Aladdin was rather inoffensive and a serviceable remake. Man from Uncle and Revolver both suffered from convoluted plotlines, which were borderline nonsensica and extremely difficult to follow. But he really excels in the hard nosed crime genre, as evidenced by his return to form with The Gentlemen.

[@MatthewJBD]

Snatch, Rock N' Rolla and The Gentlemen are all brilliant.

[@senninbee5108]

The only gangster film of his I watched was The gentleman and honestly it was a beautiful film a fun and enjoyable movie hope he does more like it

[@AnotherCrazyClown]

Guy Ritchie is just unique, every movie has his essence and i love it, i think nobody else would have made a better version of sherlock holmes and even rdj has been teasing us in social media about doing a third one, i don't even dislike the slow-mo or the camera style because that's what makes it good, like in sherlock holmes 2 when the germans are preparing to fire the big cannon and you can see everything, the ammo, the cogs, the struggle to prepare the shot angle and the time comparison on how fast is the cannonball, everyone is just static while the shot destroys trees until the impact, it's just too good *chef kiss*

I feel like when it comes it his gangster films he knows the world and how to tell different stories in it, but he shouldn't be stuck doing one type of film as when he tries something else it might not work but there is valve in his film, hence why Man from Uncle is such a cool 60s film.

while Snatch and Lock/stock are undeniably classics, I still enjoyed all the newer movies of his i've seen, The Covenant really struck a cord with me, those 2 characters carried the movie so hard with that deep brotherly bond I can't recall seeing much of being portrayed anywhere else. Revolver was mindblowing for me when I watched it years ago, however once you get the twist it's not as interesting on a rewatch I think, but man that first viewing left an impression.

[@Psychadelico]

Snatch, lock stock, the gentlemen, rock n rolla, sherlock holmes...I love these films so much. They really cemented Guy Ritchie as one of my favourites. Then I watched wrath of man ... the covenant... and they're alright movies, no doubt about it, but they severely lack any of the iconic characters, smart dialogue, amazing pace... He really has a knack for those kinda of movies, but the last ones truly feel like any other action movie

His King Arthur is found to be underrated and highly entertaining. His latest film 'The Covenant' is one of his highest acclaimed films. The point being no director should stay in the same field.

There is no reason for Ritchie to just stick to one genre. He must and he should experiment with multiple genres to evolve as a filmmaker. What he needs to do is to pick up good stories and scripts from multiple genres and then improvise creatively.

There is a short story called “Bine In The Throat” written by Anthony Bourdain that Guy Richie would be perfect to produce/direct

[@lovesigurd6183]

I don't think he has to just direct gangster movies. The man from U.N.C.L.E is a good film and i think Guy Ritchies flourishes really helps. I think he might have a problem with stakes, liked the gentleman a bit but felt like they lacked a good villian. It even worse in Operation Fortune. A big part of what made Snatch great is Brick Top, he's genuinely unnerving. Also something that sets Lock Stock and snatch apart from the gentleman is also the the heroes aren't cool capable action guys. They're lowlifes who are witty and think they are clever but usually end up on top because of luck.
