Free Guy Movie Review 2021
Well, as I sat down to watch the 2021 movie titled "Free Guy" I hadn't actually seen the trailer or heard about the movie. But I saw that Ryan Reynolds was in the lead, so of course I opted to sit down and watch this movie from director Shawn Levy.
Needless to say that this movie was entertaining. Of course it was. And it was a glorious storyline and plot that combined elements of what you see in games today and mixing it in with the real world. Yeah, I have to say that I was definitely entertained by what writers Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn managed to concoct here with "Free Guy".
Visually then "Free Guy" is a movie that you should watch twice. The first time you watch it for the story and the plot, but the second time you pay attention to the details that take place on the screen and the background. Wow, talk about an assault of visually great and funny things in every single scene. There were so many great things and habits shows here that you see in online games every day. It was just simply marvelous to watch. And the writers really captured the essence of that.
"Free Guy" has a nice cast ensemble. Of course Ryan Reynolds was great in this movie, and he definitely carried the movie quite well. But he had some good help from the likes of Jodie Corner, Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery and Joe Keery. And there was a nice appearance from the First Avenger himself.
Yeah, there are a some hilarious pop culture references throughout the course of "Free Guy". And I must admit that the "Star Wars" reference was just the cherry on the top of the cake, it was just brilliant.
This is a movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch, should you have the time and opportunity to do so, because it is an enjoyable and entertaining movie.
My rating of "Free Guy" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
