neutral · AI labelView post →I genuinely saw someone call Taika Waititi's villain in Free Guy "annoying" and "cringe" as a point against the movie and like ...That was the point? He was MEANT to be a cringe worthy tech douche? With shitty jokes that everyone has to pretend are funny????

The reason it was pink is I made a handful of batches of different shades of pink ice cream for the director of Free Guy so he could choose the color to use for the movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Free Guy is actually a fantastic movie - lots of fun, well worth watching
positive · AI labelView post →Concept: The Movie Free Guy but it’s about Hildibrand Manderville
neutral · AI labelView post →Two seemingly controversial movie opinions that I have: 1. I did not care for Free Guy. 2. Minions are funny, and I will be watching the new one when it comes to streaming services.
negative · AI labelView post →Now people are bitching on Reddit about *Free Guy* and Taika’s role in particular. What the hell is going on? Even if it was the worst movie ever (it wasn’t - IMO, it was delightful) and even if Taika’s performance was awful (IMO, he was amazing), the movie is four years old!
positive · AI labelView post →#StarWarsStarfighter director Shawn Levy ("Deadpool & Wolverine," "Free Guy," "Night at the Museum") has shared a couple BTS photos now for his new film, which is slated for the big screen on May 28, 2027
neutral · AI labelView post →TFW you’re reading a movie review and realize the reviewer has not seen a “girl coded” movie in years if not decades. (Action comedy is a dying art? The Lost City, Argylle, the Harley Quinn films, Free Guy, Ghosted, Polite Society?)
neutral · AI labelView post →OH! For visual reference: This beach is where they shot the "power ups fight" in the movie "FREE GUY," so it's not like a small beach - it's a big place
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm reminded of the scene at the end of Free Guy where Taika Waititi takes an axe to the servers. In the movie it's a bad thing but seems like it'd be really cathartic IRL
neutral · AI labelView post →And a lot of words to not mention Detective Pikachu, his greatest role. Also, Free Guy is the best video game movie ever, because it completely captures the essence of video games.
positive · AI labelView post →This scene from the movie Free Guy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Is it just me or is it really confusing that there is a movie with Ryan Reynolds called Free Guy and a movie with Ryan Gosling called Fall Guy?
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh but also the Free Guy of it all is sus as hell cause that’s the Ryan Reynolds film where he realizes he’s a background player in a video game and decides to become the main character of his own story… we really need to binge watch everything he’s touched…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Free Guy with the eldest kid and the whole movie basically boils down to a programmer catching feelings for an AI and in the brave new world of 2026 im gonna say its not aging so well lol

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie recommendation is "Free Guy" on Disney+ This is a movie for fans of video games, as it sends up all the video game tropes in the most hilarious of ways. But it's also a really solid movie. Hilarious moments, great effects, solid plot. I had a lot of fun with this one. #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →Saw a movie called Free Guy on tv last night. Knew nothing about it, hell, I'd never even heard of it before... definite addition to all time fav movies though!
positive · AI labelView post →The difference keeps reminding me of the movie 'Free Guy'. They want to market fear, division & hate because it drives engagement & billionaires become trillionaires. But the people really just want to make things better for everyone, which makes things better for them as well. Pretty simple.
neutral · AI labelView post →Free Guy is a movie about falling in love with your 4 year old incel son in Tron and not killing him because you choose the Matrix but it’s ok because he isn’t actually your 4 year old son he’s secretly just a co worker who loves you and built your 4 year old incel son based on himself.

positive · AI labelView post →I wandered into the set of the Ryan Reynolds movie Free Guy purely by accident when trying to meet up with my father-in-law. How was I supposed to know they were shooting that day?
neutral · AI labelView post →I may be sad, irrelevant, out of touch, whatever. But on the other hand, I never directed fucking Next Goal Wins or acted poorly in Free Guy, the worst and most cynical movie of the decade.
negative · AI labelView post →Several people in the comments saying how Free Guy is their most rewatched movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYSW...
neutral · AI labelView post →As someone who never got into the Tron franchise, from everything I've heard about it, the movie Free Guy sounds like a better version of the concept of the Tron series. It's about a character in the game who gains awareness and the CEO of the company wants to just make money from it. Great movie :)
positive · AI labelView post →Finally got round to watching the movie Free Guy yesterday - it was really good and a lot of fun. Also, the bunny cop was smoking hot and ripped 😅
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Free Guy with the kids and this movie fucking rules.
positive · AI labelView post →Even without Jared Leto, this film seems like a bad idea. At least from a visual standpoint. Bringing the digital world of Tron into our own diminishes its unique aesthetic, and makes the film look like something between... Free Guy and Pixels? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5igR...
neutral · AI labelView post →Been chipping away at Free Guy for a few days and it might be the worst movie I've ever seen. Everything about it makes my skin crawl. It feels like a movie made by AI and I'm shocked that real live human beings were behind its production.
negative · AI labelView post →we should've been culturally meaner his first thor movie as a way to preserve him and prevent Free Guy particles from entering his system
neutral · AI labelView post →Shawn Levy when speaking to The Playlist Levy said Lucasfilm’s attitude has remained remarkably permissive. “So far, I’ve had more freedom on this movie… It’s equal to any other movie I’ve made, including the original movies like ‘Free Guy’ and ‘The Adam Project.’” #StarWars #Starfighter

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds and it's like have had a blackout for 2 hours I'll never get back. Such an empty boring movie.
negative · AI labelView post →What’s your favorite movie from 2023? Me: FREE GUY - It is at its heart, an amazingly wholesome romantic comedy. I’ve probably watched it a dozen times.
positive · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: Three of director 'Free Guy' director Shawn Levy's four daughters appear on screen in the film; They play "Tween Gamer Girl", "Foul Mouthed Little Sister", and "Big City Dreamer". (IMDB) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, like Deadpool & Wolverine was amazing, I loved Free Guy, and even The Adam Project was a pretty fun time travel movie. I, too, am curious as to what the hell the problem is, 'cause this is the second time I've been confused by someone being upset by this announcement.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching "Free Guy" which is some fun brainless trash (at least so far, only 30 minutes in), but you can't just throw a hot muscley rabbit fursuit in your movie like that! I gotta go lie down, now. x /// x;;
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't do much for new years cuz I felt crummy but I did watch Ready Player One and Free Guy with some friends online but it's, the former is terrible, utter trash film, the latter is actually a movie with something to say and watching it after Ready Player One elevated it a lot lol
positive · AI labelView post →I’ll never understand MAN OF STEEL’s Letterboxd score. FREE GUY being considered a better movie on that site hurts my brain
negative · AI labelView post →Two missed soundtrack opportunities for the movie FREE GUY: • Playing Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" when Millie kisses Guy after the reboot, and • Playing "Still Alive" during the end credits
neutral · AI labelView post →Free Guy really is a great movie
positive · AI labelView post →I cry every time I watch it. I cry every time I watch Days of Future Past and Free Guy and any movie that's about people finding their magic. I'm sentimental AF ionno what to tell u
positive · AI labelView post →My review of Free Guy on Letterboxd will probably be one of my proudest moments. (Hear me out, it’s relevant to this) Shout out to user GCotton2154 for his kind words. letterboxd.com/alexm01/film...
neutral · AI labelView post →i don't think Free Guy does this! I haven't seen it, but the references seem more baked in to the movie rather than just "HERE'S A BUNCH OF SHIT FROM OTHER STUFF YOU LIKE IN THE BACKGROUND OF EVERY SHOT" I haven't seen Free Guy and I doubt it's a masterpiece, but that's something imo
neutral · AI labelView post →When I’m recovering from bottom surgery, I’m gonna watch the movie, “Free Guy”, on repeat for like six weeks. 💕

neutral · AI labelView post →i don’t think a goofy Golden Axe show is like… an irredeemable idea? but what really bothers me is that some of the jokes are counting on the idea that video game mechanics are inherently funny. same thing that Free Guy movie did. we’re past that, video games are so normalized now!
negative · AI labelView post →I don't give a fuck abt TADC but like who fuckin cares if a show is not as deep as your deep thought shit or whatever man, let niggas just watch shit. I could write a 7 page essay about how Free Guy is about Breaking the chains of society and truly just being yourself. I don't even like that movie
