A hot mess!
One of the most highly anticipated movies is here! Or should I say over-hyped? Is it as bad as many critics say? No. Is it really good? No. It's a mainstream popcorn blockbuster film that I guess a lot of people will enjoy. For me this movie was for sure better than Batman v Superman but still with big flaws.
On the positive: stylish and funny (they didn't overexagerate yet some jokes fall flat). Than there is plenty of good acting: Margot, Will and Joel were standouts for me. Don't get me wrong, Jared was also good but he didn't quite convice me. He was acting the Joker but he wasn't the Joker. You know what I mean? Music was incorporated nicely, they introduce characters well, action was mediocre.
On the negative. The biggest miss is a messy plot and simply written characters. Second part of the film wasn't as good as I hoped for and some scenes were just like: they are doing this just to look cool and get a nice shot but it doesn't come across authentic. Directing could also be better.
3+/5

Movie review - The Nice Guys (2016)
The Nice Guys (2016) / comedy, thriller
Directed by Shane Black
Produced by Joel Silver
Written by Shane Black, Anthony Bagarozzi
Starring: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Keith David, Kim Basinger

Funny! One of the best action comedies this year!
This is a cool buddy comedy with several things done just right! The script is surprisingly witty and good (especially for action comedy), the plot is ridiculous but interesting and you're actually not sure what to expect next. The chemistry between Ruseell and Ryan is great to watch and Angourie was amazing as well. Funny and enjoyble flick! I miss more films like this. Not only one of the best action comedies this year but unfortunately also one of the most underrated. See it! :) 4+/5
