...The Gray Man worked?


Waste-Replacement232

“Worked”


Correct-Chemistry618

Woked?


SotB8

it got woke and went broke


Correct-Chemistry618

"Broken Woken Women", now on Disney +.


GoldIsCold987

If I go broke, must I go woke?


SotB8

you get woke, you go broke. but going broke wont make you woke


KingMario05

*Nope* (2022) >!This gag is getting old, isn't it?!<


Correct-Chemistry618

I'm afraid so (and haven't seen the movie yet)


KingMario05

Please do! Very well done... much better than the turd shown above, lol.


Correct-Chemistry618

I will gladly do it, I liked his two previous films a lot (and finally someone has taken up Romero and Carpenter's teachings on horror used as a metaphor to talk about important topics).


cyberliminal

>!*Nope* (2022)!<


Reddvox

Yep. At long last, just a straightforward action flick. Not pretending to be more, not trying to be something else. Reminded me of the good old 80ties...


Correct-Chemistry618

It reminded me of Steven Seagal movies honestly.


based_eibn_al-basad

I'm so tired of this culture war shit it's not even funny anymore....


Eraserhead310

I wished someone would just win the war


little_jade_dragon

Wish someone just dropped a nuke and we'd be finished with this shitshow.

Beat me to it


frederick_tussock

Why Toilet Water "Worked" where Muddy Water Failed


Dankey-Kang-Jr

Why dogshit “worked” where bullshit failed


HeWithThePotatoes

Muddy waters was such a good guitarist though


Kabir_Ke_Do_Hai

I think that by "worked" he meant monetarily succeeded. But yeah, he too seems to be headed the way of critical drinker. Not there yet though, even far from it, for now.


KingMario05

> monetarily succeeded "Sir, this is Netflix. *We don't do that here.*"


Kabir_Ke_Do_Hai

Kid named mass layoffs:


benabramowitz18

Didn’t he also call Red Notice a failure even though the budget’s *slightly* lower and more people watched that? (Aside from that, they’re indistinguishable and not worth your time. Go watch a John Wick or M:I movie instead.)


Snoo-92685

I mean, that movie sucked


Heath09

Both films are a waste of time. They worked neither as a film nor an action film. But then again, it is filmento.


GoldandBlue

They also have fuck all to do with each other.


Arkodd

Who even remembers 355? And the fact that he chose the blandest action movie of the year as a better option like wow such a high bar anyway.


Geekboy07

I only know about it because Prime shows a fucking ad of it before every episode of Hannibal I watch


AValorantFan

I was thinking about watching 355 for lupita and that’s about it and then the reviews dropped


midniteburger

All movies suck


TheUmbrellaMan1

All movies suck except Paddington and Babe.


Gunny_McCshoots

I genuinely think Paddington is impossible to dislike

Mimosas4355

18 minutes to say it worked because the protagonist is literally me?


A_BOWL_OF_SOOS

I might be misremembering but Filmento wasn't this bad like around 4 years ago?


EnOdNu2

Is this the guy who called that shitty time travel Chris Pratt movie a "masterpiece"?


Anna_Bug

His title choosing convention has single-handedly robbed the word masterpiece of meaning


childish_jalapenos

Yes. My guess is he probably fell asleep during he movie and dreamt about watching Back to the Future or something. There's no other explanation for calling The Tomorrow War a masterpiece


ninjacowan

He doesn’t say the whole movie was a masterpiece, he was only referring to a specific part of how the plot was set up.


A_BOWL_OF_SOOS

Not sure, I barely watched his videos when I was still in highschool and hadn't seen one for years until the grayman one popped up in my feed


Tuck_Pock

He was doing it ironically because some people were saying his videos were too negative


DontKnowAnyBetter

Everything is a masterpiece or a failure to that dude


A_BOWL_OF_SOOS

I'm starting to realize he hasn't just gone downhill, he jumped off the damn mountain


HeWithThePotatoes

He’s really weird. He writes failure and masterpiece but usually only refers to a single aspect of the movie, like for instance the action of the movie is a masterpiece or it’s setup is a failure


A_BOWL_OF_SOOS

Much easier to analyze something if you treat it as a single unit made by the single pointless detail you wanted to spout nonsense about for the next 16 minutes, I guess.


Tuck_Pock

That’s why I love his videos, he zeroes in on a singular aspect of a movie. He doesn’t make videos about how “Black Widow is a shit movie” instead he focuses on how “Black Widow failed as a spy movie for example


TDS_patient_no7767

I watched him for a few months and thought he made some good points on some of his earlier videos, his quality has definitely gone downhill since though I haven't watched his stuff in probably over a year


finn_naegal

Same it seems like now all he does is review the next blockbuster or action films and call them a masterpiece or failure


Grizzly_228

Simple, Gray Man has Ryan Gosling


rishonathan

Yeah it had literally me


p-_ber

Both films suck donkey balls, but one had literally me in it so it's automatically better.


HeathBar112

Taxi Driver (1976)


GrandManSam

Comparing two movies that nobody cared about.


benabramowitz18

If The Gray Man “worked” then why did this guy also call Red Notice a failure? I’m sure more people watched the latter, but aside from that, they’re basically the same movie (at least as far as quality is concerned).


Ok-Engine8044

He went from sort of intelligent on movies to full on sexist. This time he didn't bother to hide it at all. "Gray Man worked because it didn't have women" right from the start, too!


Snoo-92685

He explained his reasoning literally the next sentence , bc the 355 directors used the fact that were women as an excuse to make a below average movies, bad one dimensional characters, poor action and black and white world. The Gray Man had solutions to those issues. I think "full on sexist" is an an uncharitable interpretation of that argument.


roguebracelet

Shit is crazy. Only video I’ve ever watched from this guy was him criticizing Pewdiepie for being racially insensitive, but that was like 2-3 years ago. Still wouldn’t have expected him to turn into this.


DoctorWalrusMD

Why my shit-caked asshole worked while your tiny clean butthole failed (MASTERPIECE V FAILURE episode 73)


little_jade_dragon

Soooo is Netflix Wokeflix or Basedflix now?


Ok_Condition_7817

R/MCJ when


KingMario05

...Hmmm, I dunno. The quotes with "Worked" tell me that this isn't what everyone here thinks it is.


emielaen77

Lol this one isn’t even subtly sexist. No one even remembers The 355, but this dude went and plucked it out of existence to praise an empty film.


Snoo-92685

You're assuming sexism bc the main characters are different genders lmao, watch the vid before assuming that, he just chose the two most recent spy films this year


emielaen77

That movie isn’t like 2 years old now?


Snoo-92685

No? https://www.google.com/search?q=the+355&oq=the+355&aqs=chrome..69i57.2741j0j7&client=ms-android-vf-gb-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&chrome_dse_attribution=1


ThatFuckingGeniusKid

Filmento is actually pretty good and nowhere near as bad as the critical drinker so I think you should watch the video before criticizing him OP


Accomplished_Row_963

Suspicious bias? They are literally the two most recent spy thriller movies and he’s comparing them. Maybe he just likes the movie lmao this subreddit is so middle schooler edgy “don’t like things”


Cjpappaslap

What if this guy fell into a 2 liter of Coca Cola? That would be not good


musabthegreat

Because of dhanush I'd say...


IamJimMilton

Dhanush was more of an add on to bring in Indian audience. Dude was barely in the movie for that promotion.


Bulbaguy4

Filmjesse what the fuck are you talking about?


Dracoscale

Can anyone sum up the video? This sub goes off the deep end on Filmento's videos only for the videos to end up nowhere near as awful as people say with the actual content being about the box office more than anything.


IdentityTheftWasTake

It’s really not as bad as it sounds, just about how the Gray Man has deeper characters and better action.


NoobFreakT

Did you actually watch the video?


ninjacowan

I feel like a lot of people are making assumptions just based off the title


NoobFreakT

I KNOW people are doing this

RandallTheScandall15

R/MCJ users actually watch the video and don’t automatically assume sexism challenge (impossible).


TheDoctorJT416

Women bad


HowdyAshleyHere

What the hell is going on with Gosling’s hand in that thumbnail good lord


Astravas5

Why are people on this sub so bitter about filmento?


TheDoctorJT416

He's a boring filmbro. I've only watched his birds of prey video and it seems like he's not a big fan of female leads.


Snoo-92685

So because he doesn't like a film with female leads, means he hates female leads? Lmao


TheDoctorJT416

He was pretty misogynistic and just plain weird in how he talked about Harley in that video


masongraves_

Only reason The Grey Man was watchable: Ana De Armes Only reason The 355 was watchable: Lupita Nyong’o


Drakeadrong

He and I have very different definitions of the word “worked”


BogieW00ds

My argument after Filmento brings up The Thanos Rat Dilemma:


MEMEY_IFUNNY

The only reason it works is because I am in the movie


cperch

I haven't watched his videos but he criticized Malignant (2021) in a title and thumbnail so I know he's wrong about everything 😤


Tuck_Pock

Y’all gotta watch the video before shitting on this channel. Filmento slander makes me sad :(


FrensHello

Guys do you think mauler and his circus of other 'critic' friends are secretly bankrolling Filmento at this point?
