Road House Remake Discussion Thread Starring Conor McGregor

[blaseblase]

Why wasted a good buzz on this garbage.

If you're watching good movies while drunk you're doing it wrong.

Compared to muppet voiced guy in the lead? No

Yea but he doesnt have an accent!

Awful movie with bad acting. I expected it from Mcgregor, but Gylenhaal was equally as bad. Mcgregor's character basically took his real life schtik and enhanced to psycho levels. His character literally walked around like he had a stick up his ass as well as his shoulder's frozen in the up position of a shoulder shrugg. Just silly levels and the end of the movie leaves you with a "Wait what, that was it?" Mcgregor fans will swoon over the scene where he is butt ass naked which was equally retarded and unnecessary.

They made the owner of the bar a black chick. LOL

DEI baby

Movie was fun but liked the original better.

Also none of.the fight scenes resembled MMA fighting , so much for realism.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

What a piece of shit movie.



Why wasted a good buzz on this garbage.

I kept smoking more frequently as the movie went on. And I go outside for that. By the time it was said, and done. It took me 4 hours to watch a 2 hour movie.

I was completely baked the whole last half. It made it bearable. I’m sorry, but Conor’s character, and his acting were atrocious.

But, you can’t critique fairly unless you actually watch something. So I bit the bullet, and watched. And I didn’t listen to what others said before I watched it, myself.

And I really did enjoy the original. This film did not do it justice, imo.

Didn't critics hate the original roadhouse?

 

[CasualBot]

The only person Conor kills in the film ... is the SON of his (own) BOSS.



Talk about a genius level writing team.

No wonder Jake looked so sad & monotone the entire film.


The fight scenes are interpolated from 30 & 60fps to 120 fps.
Looks goofy as fuck, like a staged video game CGI with bad speed ramping.

Was it really necessary to have Jake murder his own friend in a UFC fight ?

How about smashing a table with a Driver/Wood golf club?
In the skinny teenage years, someone broke a driver over me, and i was fine.
Yes it hurt, but it broke. I didn't. Had that been an iron, i'd have broke.
This is how fuckin' stupid this remake really is.

In the original, the fight scenes are great.
How Dalton is stabbed is great. It is a real-time attack. It's a bar fight.

In the remake,
Dalton is paid-out from an underground fight (that didn't happen),
because he visually scared away a pit fighter ... only to be stabbed outside (by a bettor).
No reaction from Dalton/Jake. The stabber, lets go of the knife, and runs away in fear.
Is this fuckin sci-fi ?

Does Dalton have telepathic powers & xmen body?

Cue roided cokehead Conor Knox to murder one person ...
the boss's son.



The classic road house plot.

It got Razzie nominations for worst picture, worst actor, worst supporting actor, worst director, and worst screen play.

And then Conor ruined it.

 

[sanguinius]

Saw it yesterday, better than I thought it would be. Conor was less shitty than I’ve heard. Solid, fun stupid film.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Again, I've never used the word "woke", I'm not some right wing kook. It isn't about the original cast being all white, they literally changed EVERYTHING to a ridiculous degree. The original bar owner was an old white guy, now it's a young black female. If they just made the new bar owner an old black guy it wouldn't be a big deal, but this is what Hollywood does now.

The bar owner was an old black guy but then he died and left the bar to his daughter, I dont understand why youre trying to blame the filmmakers for that

People think casting a pointless bartender (often women in real life) is woke ?

How about taking a wood/driver to a table ... like it wouldn't shatter the golf club.

How about these wizards waking up to ...

why a roid monkey would grab a pool noodle to smash up a bar,
and kill his own employer's son, for no reason.

This mafia hitman ... killing the mafia (kid) who hired him.
No reason. No logic. Nothing to do with a bar named Road House.

Jake has to murder A FRIEND on PPV live ... in the UFC main event ?
The fuck kind of woke is this ?

Just seems stupid over-all,
not hinging on what gender/race a bartender is.
The plot made no sense 6 times in the first hour,
and a total of 15 times when the final credits roll.

There is still no need to concern about who played the bartender...

when you got lines for Conor like "hello band!" (like this is the shining),
"i love clubbing" holding the wrong golf club for damage,
or the trailer gem "our own little octagon" describing a dingy.

Surprised this wasn't a straight to vhs Steven Segal movie.

 

[TITS]

Why'd they have to kill him off?

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

I am no conor fan by no means, but he's better than randy and Chuck in movies so far. Coke must be on demand. That interview...

I forgot about the choreography looking weird. Lots of strikes looked slow while others look sped up.

And yeah, never an explanation for dalton's mma death.

The original? Kills a man in self defense. That's all we need to know. Not only that, but when Swayze is confronted, all we see are cold eyes and we get it.

This one? We need, well idiots need, an explanation about how pissed dalton is and how its dangerous.

It's a cartoon.

 

[TrueBias]

Yep. Anyone that calls the original movie awful and says this remake is better is nothing to praise.

Great, you cringed 2 less times in this one than the original. What a feat.

 

[BangBang]

Just about got through that pile of crap. Barely a movie. Embarassing.

 

[Poatan Power]

I'd say 5/10. Basically average. Overacting for sure, and a little cartoonish with the characters. But didn't expect much more, either. Unfortunately the movie wasn't "fun," so at 5/10 it really isn't something I'd choose to watch. Like a Fast n Furious movie but everyone is driving a Ford Taurus.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Oprah called, she bought your entire family with the change in her purse.

 

[italiamusica]

All signs point to it being a terrible movie
