Guy Ritchie's next

It was different and it was utter tripe the narrative was highly flawed(possibly due to the studio cuts) and i thought it was highly pretentious. It was trying to come across as an existential piece, however the execution of it was massively flawed. Great photography though.
 
both snatch and lock stock were decent. The trailer for this looks good. I'm glad to hear it's different than those two movies. Why remake the same movie?
 
Guy Ritchie is a wannabe Tarantino.

I have only seen parts of LOCK,STOCK and have seen SNATCH and really was'nt impressed.

What's the hype ?

Actually, I thought LS&TSB was a good movie. It didn't feel like Tarantino. I didn't care for Snatch. The new one? I won't go to the theater to see it.
 
Hey Hudson good catch.

Don't forget the random shots of Jap Anime-ish cartoons spliced in between 'real' footage. I instantly thought of Kill Bill.

I'd make some nice picture comparisons but I'm feeling pretty lazy.

He is/was so not a Tarantino wannabe. I thought his approach to the whole crime thing was fresh and exciting. The picture above is from Revolver, right?
I really hope he hasn't become a Tarantino wannabe. Keep in mind that I've never seen another director steal so many shots from others as Tarantino. (Example; Jackie Brown with the airport dolly shot ripped right out of "The Graduate")
 
Who doesn't "steal" shots in this day in age. Everything's been done. There is no "stealing" shots, anymore.

Uh oh, I stole a Two-shot. lol.
A CU. uh-oh.
 
Hey, I've heard that arguement before. I agree with it in part, but you know what I am saying. I'm here to defend the early works of Richie. Don't get me wrong on QT. He's cool. I didn't much care for him for a few years there, until I saw Kill Bill 2. It brought me back around.
I like old Richie better. His characters seem like they have to less to prove. I see QT and GR as similar in interest, but that is far as I will go.

If Ritchie is a tarantino wannabe then tarantino must be an amalgamation of all the great directors who he has stolen from. Tarantino is the bastard child of cinema.

QT is the first to admit he "borrows" junk he has seen before. He's basically a massive movie lover who pays tribute to stuff he's enjoyed over the years.

But still.... The dude is still pretty bloody good at making flicks! One thing to copy work, another to do it amazingly.
 
Tarantino is the most exciting filmmaker working. His films are events; even SS can't claim that

QT is a great writer, great caster and a great director.
 
Precisely.

I distinctly got the feeling that Ritchie was trying to take the london crime genre thing to a whole new level.

I was very dissappointed and put off by the whole thing.
