Mini Review - Baby Driver

Baby driver was my favourite movie of 2017. It received critical acclaim upon release, including several academy award nominations, and made a respectable profit on its relatively small budget. So why is it worthy of all this, let’s dive in and find out.

Mini Review - Cowboys & Aliens

We have an interesting pairing here. James Bond meets Han Solo. This is Cowboys & Aliens

With the star power or Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig you’d figure this movie would be a success, but nope, made on a $160m budget, this movie bad a mere $173m, which by the time you address theatre cuts and promotional expenditure makes this movie ‘one of 2011’s most expensive flops’

But not all movies that are financial failures are necessarily bad movies, but this one seems to have committed a worse crime, being OK, a rating of 43% on rotten tomatoes with an equivalent audience score and average ratings of 5.5/10 and 3.1/5 respectively.

The movie was directed by Jon Favreau, who had just come off of Iron Man 2, intriguingly another movie that has the same audience approval rating as critic approval rating on rotten tomatoes. Robert Downey Jr was originally intended to play the lead but dropped out owing to the filming of Sherlock 2. Probably for the best

What do I think of the movie, well let’s take a look?
