A few Mike's Hard lemonades in you?
Nah now that I ain't 17 I can't handle something that sugary. :P

Also, Ritchie was fucking awesome on Rogan's podcast.

Love how it's, in some parts, RocknRolla meets Excalibur

shame it's bombing, I'd love a sequel
just like rocknrolla? :(
Yea pretty much.

It sets up wonderfully for a sequel, and characters are cool enough to support it.

Like, Gillen's character is pretty cool, and he sells it.

Had more fun with this than I did with Guardians.

What a fascinating film. Even though it isn't always a cohesive whole, almost every single scene is incredible. This feels like the first proper Ritchie movie since RocknRolla.

Had a blast.
However, it's true that the third act feels rushed. I think it was Kermode who said you could literally point out the cut that was made to crunch the movie down to two hours. Should've been longer. I honestly wouldn't have minded.
Too bad the six-film franchise isn't happening anymore.

Upon second viewing, the crushed parts are more obvious. There several parts of the film that are told in montage, which is helpful when it lends to the somewhat comedic tone, but later on in the film, it just feels rushed.

But it's a fucking crying shame that this is bombing man. This was at least twice as fun as Pirates, with about 10 times the charm.

That clip they showed at Graham Norton looked quite bad...

Saw this last night and it was really fun. This shouldn't have bombed as it did.
