Ryan Reynolds’s way of portraying a character and making an action movie with humor is at a level of its own.
The story is refreshing and has funny references to video games.

I'm giving this an 8 only because I personally retain ranks of 9 to 10 for masterpieces of storytelling as the base requirement first.

This may not be a masterpiece of storytelling but it does have solid plotline with character development, plenty of good scenes that help the viewer achieve an emotional attachment with the characters, and it does all of this without taking itself too seriously or trying to shove plot devices down the reader's throats.

A show like this doesn't take itself too seriously and within an ocean of cinematic releases destined to be short-lived in the public memory this one will live on in our memories with a positive feeling associated.

The positive messages in this story and the main character's adventure are something we've sorely missed in our light summer blockbusters. To whomever was responsible for the majority of the decisions made in this film: please do more films, your work is wonderful.

This enjoyable watch was money well spent with my loved ones and kept us entertained the whole time.

Not big on Hollyweird these days but Free Guy is actually enjoyable to watch. The cringey "white privilege", "man babies", and "patriarchy" lines feel very out of place. But I'm sure it's completely normal for leftists to hear stuff like this.

Recently, creative teams apparently have found it irresistible to explore what it means to be human by writing scripts that insert people into video games. Spielberg’s “Ready Player One” (2018) and the Matthew McConaughey vehicle “Serenity”Recently, creative teams apparently have found it irresistible to explore what it means to be human by writing scripts that insert people into video games. Spielberg’s “Ready Player One” (2018) and the Matthew McConaughey vehicle “Serenity” (2019) are recent examples of this emerging genre. So “Free Guy” has some interesting predecessors.

In this film, Ryan Reynolds’ Guy (see what they did there?!) discovers that he is an NPC, a non-player character in a video game. He’s a totally disposable automated character uninhabited by a person from the real world, mere window dressing when players enter the game to rob banks, shoot people and engage in an endless variety of senseless, violent mayhem. But Guy also houses an advanced form of artificial intelligence. When he meets Millie/Molotov Girl (“Killing Eve” star Jodie Comer), he is immediately infatuated and experiences, wait for it, feelings he’s never had before. Tragically wholesome rom-com moments ensue.

In less capable hands, this story line could have sunk the audience into a sugar-induced coma or devolved into a mind-numbing Ted Talk about “big ideas.” Fortunately, Director Shawn Levy (“Night at the Museum” series, “Cheaper by the Dozen,” “Family Trap”) and his screenwriters are too skillful to let that happen. While addressing important concepts like freedom vs. determinism (sorry, we are now legally compelled to say “personal agency”), the nature of love and the value of friendship, he centers this story on more accessible themes like kindness and generosity. The offhanded violence committed incessantly against the NPCs is a conversation for another day. (“Westworld” anyone?)

The cast here is first-rate. Ryan Reynolds is at his charismatic, self-effacing best because he doesn’t have to rely on superhero costumes crafted by Rubbermaid or gratuitous f-bombs (that’s right, “Deadpool”). Jodie Comer is in excellent form, having apparently perfected a unique combination of wide-eyed wonder and world weariness. Taika Waititi reprises the role of manic, bumbling villain he perfected in “Jojo Rabbit.” The film is crammed with cameos by gamers and streamers (Pokimane, LazerBeam, et al). There’s a welcome Channing Tatum sighting. There’s even a brief scene with Alex Trebek and contestants on “Jeopardy.” There are off-screen voiceovers by Dwayne Johnson, Tina Fey, Hugh Jackman and John Krasinski. But it’s the strength of Reynolds and Comer and the chemistry they build that keep this project from sinking into mediocrity.

Other elements that make this film worthwhile are its brief vignettes and priceless one-liners. One such interchange occurs when Bombshell (Camille Kostek, 2019 SI Swimsuit cover model, real-life girlfriend of football player Rob Gronkowski) enters a bank on the arm of one of the robbers. After Guy dispatches the robbers, he suggests that Bombshell should be free to make her own life choices. Bombshell responds that she may not need a man at all. If only life imitated … A few of the funniest lines: Describing his coffee, Guy says, “It’s like my tongue had a baby with a sunrise.” Later, “Ooh, cappuccino. I enjoy saying that. It’s like a waterfall with letters.” After his first kiss with Millie: “I may not be real, but for a second there, I felt pretty alive.”

While “Free Guy” is unlikely to make us forget “Citizen Kane” any time soon, it’s better than the standard summer fare, especially in this year’s movie wasteland littered with an overabundance of superheroes and cartoon characters. This film is breezy, funny and occasionally thought-provoking. But most of all, in an increasingly unkind world, it’s a pleasant reminder that thoughtfulness, decency and kindness are their own forms of universal truth. If you can imagine a mash-up of “Ted Lasso” and “Grand Theft Auto,” you have a sense of what this film delivers in full.

Jodie and Ryan both provide a fantastic performance, and the pace is well maintained throughout.

Movies with plots based around video games have been somewhere between mediocre and awful. Pixels wasn't the worst, the Super Mario Bros. movie had an odd charm, but they didn't blow me away. This...kind of did, but maybe not as DisneyMovies with plots based around video games have been somewhere between mediocre and awful. Pixels wasn't the worst, the Super Mario Bros. movie had an odd charm, but they didn't blow me away. This...kind of did, but maybe not as Disney intended.
I was a little skeptical of the movie's interactions with Youtubers in particular, wondering how much of an influence they'd actually make in the film. This film I think is fantastic for the audience of gamers, showcasing the importance of human interaction, and how games nowadays have gotten far better at embracing that part of gaming culture.
It was still an entertaining film beyond this nailing of audience, however. Funny, quick humor, great acting, fun characters, keeps the audience going. I would absolutely recommend watching this film, especially if you're a gamer.

With the help of a human player he happens to fall in love with (Jodie Comer), him and the rest of the NPC characters try to rebel against the online world they've been limited to, and must try and stop a greedy gaming CEO (Taika Waititi) from deactivating and shutting them down for good. The trailers for this film gave off major 'Saints Row' vibes to me, along with other similar online shooters, but I found myself intrigued nonetheless. And I can say that after going in with only modest expectations, this film turned out to be an absolute riot, both literally and figuratively, and I mean in a very good way! I had so much fun watching this film and getting immersed within this world and all the bonkers action and antics it had to offer! There's some surprising and welcome cameos throughout, and like any video game-themed, of course there was bound to be some Easter eggs and references to other games and pop culture references here and there, but thankfully the film surprisingly isn't overly saturated with them, unlike with another particular video game-themed film (Ready Player One). In addition, Reynolds is just as funny and entertaining as ever, bringing in that same chipper attitude that he brings to Deadpool all the time. Jodie Comer also holds her own quite well alongside him, although I wasn't exactly comfortable with the 17-yr age gap between her and Reynolds Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Free Guy was amazing, definitely my favorite video game style movie ever; a perfect blend between comedy, action, and video game style it really felt like a video game as a movie. I loved how original the concept was and the self aware humor was hilarious. I loved all of the pop culture references especially the Star Wars and Captain America ones and the cameos were awesome especially the streamers, Jacksepticeye, Ninja, Pokimane, DanTDM, and LazarBeam, and Chris Evans. The visual effects were spectacular. The acting was phenomenal especially from Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Channing Tatum, Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, and Utkarsh Ambudkar. The makeup and hairstyling was great especially on Jodie Comer. The costumes were excellent. An A+ movie. Expand

10/10 IF you are are aware of gamer culture, not just play games. 8/10 if you only play games or don't care about games. Why? Free Guy is very "meta."
This is a nearly perfect movie, polished to perfection due to the many release delays. I suggest audiences think about this as a movie about IMAGINATION more generally, instead of just games. This is another film with three or more big digital VFX houses contributing heavily. This means Sean Levy had the input, creativity and intelligence of three more TDs, Technical Directors. These films, ten or more of them now, have many, many masterful sequences even if the film as a whole doesn't work for everyone.
Notable here is the Channing Tatum Badass "intermission" in the middle. This appears at exactly the place in the film where the sameness of the premise, characters and digital assets wears on audiences. To see this filmmaking flaw, watch Pixar's UP or Inside Out. Fewer AAA films since have this "dead space" lag prior to the third act. The Channing Tatum piece adds novelty and interest just when in the back of the audiences' mind, we're going yeah, yeah, yeah, so what? What else?"
I agree with Paul Stassi's Forbes piece reporting critics rate Free Guy over the Ready Player One film. I also agree Wreck-It Ralph is the next closest film to Free Guy. Free Guy is better because IT'S ABOUT IMAGINATION.

Where Ryan Renolds once again portrayed his character fantastically, the rest of the cast also fitted perfectly into the setting and the story. Of course there are the classic cliché scenes of love, action and humor, but the combination of reality and the digital world made it feel different than in any other film. Besides, there were moments when you actually start thinking, what if AI will actually ever become so smart that it will take on its own life? This thought is fantastic and scary at the same time.

And it does go a bit too overboard here and there with the "trying to explain how this works" dialog. I guess they really wanted to make sure the non-gamers in the audience didn't get lost in all of the concepts at display. And hoo-boy, is there a lot going on. But it kinda works anyway.

I mean, it's a computer game. The physical disconnect between the game and the real-world servers it supposedly runs on is quite palpable throughout if you know even a little bit about how those things work. But I can look past it and just go with the flow on this one. It was entertaining enough that I kind of just went "Meh, I guess I'll just roll with it".

The filmmakers' insight into the medium and culture can be seen in other things as well, like the presence of a player avatar realistically glitching out in the background of a scene or the appearance of significant streaming icons like "Ninja" and "Jacksepticeye" commenting on the events. Those aren't the most significant aspects, but are stuff the kids will love and help prevent the feature from coming off as blatantly uninformed to anyone who has picked up a controller before.

The plot itself is almost a direct copy of The Lego Movie in that it too tells the story of an average dude who's content to live out his mundane existence in a state of blissful ignorance until one day falling for a determined, brooding woman on a mission and inadvertently becoming the only hope of saving his world from a corporate narcissist. None of the characters outside of the protagonist and his best friend (as well as Channing Tatum in a HILARIOUS cameo) make much of an impression, and the romance component really shouldn't have centered around Jodie Comer and either of the two dudes interested in her, but rather Reynolds and Lil Rey Howery. A hill I will die on due to their perfect chemistry and already adorable platonic relationship that's practically begging to be taken further.

Still, the writing does its job of acting as a vehicle for the comedy. This isn't the funniest picture out there, but is ultimately amusing enough for me to recommend it even as things like the action fall flat on their face. Reynolds is such a naturally charismatic star and while this does seem more scripted and wholesome than were used to from him, that snarky, off the cuff wit he's known for still shines through at points. So does his potty mouth unfortunately, so parents may want to make note of that well-deserved PG-13 rating.

I'm not sure we're in desperate need of the already planned sequel, but I'd probably still turn up to watch it anyways. It's got that same affable, whimsical nature I've come to associate with Shawn Levy movies and is surely a crowd pleaser. This isn't the deepest piece of cinema around and is unlikely to blow anyone away. Sometimes all you need though is a light, enjoyable watch that can be easily moved on from afterwards, and Free Guy fits that bill perfectly. Plus, it comes with the added bonus of being the best film to make greater use of video games beyond just adapting them since the last Jumanji.

7.2/10

While the film could have gone a bit deeper with it's critiques of big video game publishers, how they devour creative properties, and abuse their developers...it still made the critique for which it deserves credit. The acting is surprisingly solid (all around), the over the top CGI action works for once (helps that they aim for hilarity), and the plot has some nuance to it. To summarize in a sentence; the best video game movie to date that amuses with solid visual spectacle and comedy while being surprisingly smart. Expand

Love story is cliche, pacing is not well either. But most jokes land, an average gamer would know almost all references here. This is movie for us, but then for non-gamer people this would not work (for example Ready Player One did work and people like my old parents understood it at least and could follow).
The "YouTubers and streamers" part was nice but in my opinion was a bit too much, just show once, we are not here for Ninja's commentary on the movie. By far the best cameos are towards the end. And "final boss" scene was the most fun too. 3.5/5 is fair I think. And I feel it would be enjoyable as well on second viewing later.

We have the pleasure of reviewing Free Guy. A movie that drove me crazy in the theaters in the big media push last year finally has made it’s way to the big screen. Free Guy stars Ryan Reynolds as a video game bank teller that discovers that he’s actually a non-playable character inside a brutal video game. Blue Shirt Guy feels he’s destined for more but let’s see what he becomes.

Ok, let’s get this out of the way – this movie at PG-13 is so darn cute. It is such a far step from Deadpool or The Hitman’s Bodyguard‘s raunchiness that I forgot that Ryan Reynolds could do a witty comedy without a potty mouth. I wish he’d go back to days of comedies like The Proposal. What a classic! Anyway, the storylines in the film just make you want to say “awwww” by the end of the movie. We have a coming of age, emancipation, and a love story all wrapped in one. Yet, all of it is a new age gamer’s delight. The CGI and animation are similar to many of the worlds of GTA, Fortnite, Roblox and others, which makes this movie very fun. Gamers will definitely watch this flick and say I’ve definitely done those exact things over the years and it just makes you feel good. Other than the gaming nostalgia, the movie just feels lighthearted and makes you feel good.

Nevertheless, the same things that make this movie enjoyable also make it slightly corny, annoying or unoriginal. The comedy through the movie is good, only a few hard laughs but at least, it keeps you chuckling throughout. That chuckle that’s like, “this is a bit corny but cute” *giggle*; or, Ryan’s doing this shtick again but without cursing, *yawn*; or I like you Taika but this is a bit much. On top of that, aside from the cuteness, it feels “been there, done that”. In fact, I found myself saying is this just Ready Player One with just new age games? Unfortunately, it does feel like that movie mixed with other unrequited love stories. That’s saying too much but it won’t hurt you’re viewing pleasure anyway. Either way, the cast does a good job as a whole even if they didn’t have much to work with.

With that said, Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds and gang did an great job giving us this Free City world. Free Guy is the type of movie that makes you say, “Aww that was nice” but doesn’t knock your socks off. The plot and writing are a bit obvious and cliché but the overall feel of the movie is so cute. I think this movie speaks more to the young gamer community looking to find their place in the world; but if you are looking for a nice lighthearted comedy, especially if you’re a gamer, check out Free Guy with bowl of popcorn. This is a matinee, family friendly dream.

Things are hyperbolised just enough to not take away from the movie. Wouldn't be suprised if Guy shows up in avengers. Avengers - take notes that your movie doesn't need to include references and characters from 30 different shows and have to have smart ass dialogue to be good. 10/10 for that chilling and refreshing ending, not some cliche one where Guy comes to the real world and steals the girl. One of the best endings i've witnessed actually. Take notes Avengers, AOT, GOT - billion budgets dont make a movie good, good makes a movie good. Expand

One day he discovers that he can step out of his assigned role and become a superhero, which leads him to a new world and a girlfriend (Jodie Comer). Not only does Comer prove a delightful comic presence, there are other enjoyable supporting roles including Taika Waititi, LilRel Howery and Channing Tatum. Of course, the star is still Reynolds and his charismatic charm and self-aware timing are in full force. It helps that the script is peppered with funny concepts, on top of the animated game world that fills the screen with zany visuals. Since CGI technicians can create pretty much design anything, it’s up to their creativity to keep them interesting. They mostly succeed. Director Shawn Levy has kept the whole thing bright and sunny, while milking the most fun from every actor. It’s the kind of snappy, clever entertainment we’ve come to expect from Reynolds. Expand

Ryan Reynolds brings his usual charm to the lead role, and the time spent in the fictional video game is good fun with countless jokes and Easter eggs for gamers to spot. The second half of the movie does however become a little too bogged down in the 'real' world storyline of stolen codes and contract breaches, even if the final scene does somewhat pay it off.

It's far from perfect, but it's arguably the best video game movie ever made and gamers in particular will most likely enjoy what they see.

The script is decently written with solid pacing and a well-written message but some cliche dialogue in a couple of scenes, that bring the film slightly down. The cameos throughout also are fun easter eggs that bring that extra layer of fun to the film. This film is a delight that leaves you grinning ear to ear by the end and is a definite watch. Expand

With a unique hand,Great film for every person who loves video games and Ryan Reynolds!!! ‘’Free Guy’’ is unique as an action-comedy, yet, amazing thruway of its depth — exploring love, interpersonal connection, betrayal, and courage. With a unique hand, regular Ryan Reynolds and this world do a top-notch job conserving entertainment throughout. As a love story, gaming tribute, comedy, action “Free Guy” is a vivid and colourful, action-packed family film with unique laughs and even a couple of shocking cameos that will make you smile. “Free Guy” is a love letter to the gaming world that delights in its wackiness. Like many a big-budget video game Live-action adaptations, “Free Guy” can be a little buggy here and there; and in turn, is one-of-a-kind, and in addition now no longer the regular fare. This film is pure fun, stirring up the worlds of reality- and video gaming including artificial intelligence and giving us one of the most necessary entertaining and hilarious romcoms of the year. “Free Guy” is light, barring issues, consumable enjoyment that can additionally in no way decrease our collective love for all matters Ryan Reynolds. “Free Guy” is the full video, especially for Reynolds, exercising films and wanting to be noticed. His extraordinary comedic performances here are one of the most spectacular I have ever witnessed in a blockbuster since Reynold’s Deadpool movies, giving a classic and traditional performance. Taika Waititi`s over-the-top man-child of a villain, makes “Free Guy” what it is - a blast. “Free Guy” sets the bar high as the new mark for video games adaptation films; however, it has received sufficient laughs and spectacle for audiences to plug in and disconnect for two hours. One of the unique and funniest movies I have watched this year; full of action and humour, paying loving tribute to video games, even satirizing the eccentricities and quirks of a “gamer” culture. “Free Guy” is one of the brightest movies on gaming and the gaming business, as well as maybe the funniest comedy about intellectual property rights ever created - and the clear one that actually does it justice. This film is the big-hearted ride fantastic blockbuster audiences have been begging for since March 2020. “Free Guy” is a really amusing and emotional game-inspired action film, vastly charming and, on the extraordinary hand, heartfelt game-inspired action blockbuster. Something about its approach to every blockbuster movie and Ryan Reynolds’ big-name vehicle is exceptional." With a few exceptions, Free Guy is one of the year’s funniest and most intriguing flicks. A film with a brilliant twist from Reynolds and Comer. “Free Guy” has emerged as the biggest surprise of the summer, barring issues, one of 2021’s funniest and most fascinating films. Expand

There have been some good video game movies recently, but never great. Then there are video game movies such as Wreck-it Ralph and Ready Player One that are centred around video games. Free Guy is another video game movie that is centred around it. The premise is "When a bank teller discovers he's actually a background player in an open-world video game, he decides to become the hero of his own story -- one that he can rewrite himself. In a world where there are no limits, he's determined to save the day his way before it's too late, and maybe find a little romance with the coder who conceived him". So is Free Guy a great movie or something to be shut down?

Firstly, the concept of an NPC becoming more self-aware is such a great idea. The whole concept is so intriguing and engaging but what amazes me is that Free Guy succeeds in the delivery and the landing. The story is also surprisingly good as Guy trying to gain the affections of Millie Rusk/Molotov Girl is quite sweet and endearing to watch. Additionally, there is a plot with an evil CEO that give the film the tension and stakes necessary for a very satisfying finale. What surprised me the most is how much emotional weight and heart was in Free Guy. Some genuinely emotional moments explore some deep themes about the purpose and meaning of life that I didn't expect. Furthermore, the characters themselves are great, with the exploration of the relationship and character development between them is an enjoyable watch. The action scenes are fun to watch and a fair amount of jokes does land as well. I love the amount of reference in Free Guy to not only video games but other movies too. There are even some references that wowed me. They also use a fair amount of video game terms that didn't make me cringe. I also loved that the director included very silly and funny things in the background as well which makes for great second viewing. The cast all do a great job as well and are incredibly charming. Ryan Reynolds is indeed just playing himself but it is still entertaining to watch even in Free Guy. Joe Keery is very lovable and plays a believable nerdy guy and is the one who I ended up rooting for the most. Jodie Comer is phenomenal though as she plays the passionate Millie and badass Molotov girl convincingly while being incredibly charming. She has great chemistry with Ryan Reynolds and Joe Keery which is what makes both scenes in the game and real-life enjoyable to watch. However, Taika Waititi who plays the evil CEO and villain is a mixed bag for me. Taika succeeds in making his character completely dislikable which makes him an effective villain. The problem is that he is very goofy and cartoonish which is a jarring contrast to all the others who give more believable performances. Most moments with his character are also not that funny and most never landed, unfortunately. There are also a lot of problems with the script just breaking its own rules. For example, it is shown in the real world that they're playing the game on a computer, not VR, yet during in-game scenes, characters act like they can feel stuff when it makes no sense. Moreover, there is one major scene that occurs that baffles me as it was clear from an earlier scene that it shouldn't be possible to do, yet it somehow still happened. Overall, I came into Free Guy with little expectation but was astonished at how much I ended up enjoying it. Even when the writing falters, the natural charisma of the cast keeps it from ever being monotonous. Free Guy is not just a good video game movie, it's a great video game movie!

Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi fill out the supporting cast with splendid glee and make the movie a must watch. A mix of The Lego Movie, The Truman Show, and a dash of The Matrix, FREE GUY is easily one of the best films of 2021. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt like this movie did a great job with the love story. Some of Millie's lines seemed kinda contrived (also HOW DID SHE INITIATE A KISS WITH GUY THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A KISSING BUTTON), but it wasn't a huge deal. "Guy" had some fantastic character development, as did the real-life people.

I had 3 main problems with the movie.

The antagonist was an over-the-top douche, to the point where I could not maintain any suspension of disbelief while he was on screen.

The concept of "OMG Guy is trending on social media by being nice!!" made me cringe so hard.

And finally, I really didn't like the "actually, gun violence is a huge problem" joke. Personally, I completely agree that we need gun control reform, but a joke in a family movie is not the time to promote a political agenda. It could have been delivered so much better if she'd just said "okay, let's maybe not talk about that one" or something else that's less on-the-nose.

Overall, I think 7/10 is a very accurate score for this film.

A nice light-hearted movie about a game character. Not that innovative as it seems like a jumbled up version of multiple gaming easter-eggs but still is quite fun to watch.

Great movie. Great cast, special effects and script. It's a mix of romantic comedy with action movie with an extremely entertaining result. Loved it. If you wanna have fun, watch it!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gave me GTA meets Ready Player one vibes and honestly enjoyed every moment of it! The streamer/YouTuber moments gave it a bit of a cringe factor but other than that, it was great! Expand

Görsel efektler çok hoşuma gitti. Yapılan atıflar da baya iyi. Ortalama olarak daha fazla puanı hakediyor bence.

This is a very good movie with many comedically funny aspects as well as serious and just overall strange concepts and I would recommend this to anyone!

Masterpiece best movie ever made. I have seen no issue with this film at all. It actually may be one of my favorite movies in the world. I hope the second one is as good as the first one.

Fun movie, especially if you´ve played online video games. If you haven´t, a lot of the jokes and references will bypass you.

Free Guy gets a 9 for the fun factor of watching the movie and Ryan Reynolds as blue shirt guy is the perfect fit. Watch for some special guest appearances like Channing Tatum, who knocks his role out of the park! And the soundtrack is soFree Guy gets a 9 for the fun factor of watching the movie and Ryan Reynolds as blue shirt guy is the perfect fit.

Free Guy was such a pleasant and well needed surprise! Honestly, for me, it’s the feel good movie of 2021 so far. The message, humor, and story just hit me in all the feels. I can’t believe how much I loved it.

Yes. Go see it. While you can.
