neutral · AI labelView post →What we learned tonight at @deephelldotcom.bsky.social about the Need For Speed movie is that it: - is incredibly misogynist - was $66 million to make - has about as good of a grasp of the Need For Speed game series as any one of us who viewed it tonight
neutral · AI labelView post →Need for Speed In the Ass A movie about one man's quest to boof his drug of choice.
negative · AI labelView post →Someone has to be brave enough to say it: the Need for Speed movie is underrated.
positive · AI labelView post →Aaron Paul who was in The Need For Speed movie as "the driver"
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight for our movie monday, we watched Need for Speed! This is a movie of very very many silly faces. Everyone is constantly making weird faces. A movie of weird faces that really, really desperately wants to be Smokey and the Bandit and its just not nearly as cool unfortunately.

neutral · AI labelView post →American Truck Simulator with the new road car DLC is making me relive all those trailers of Need For Speed: The Run back in the day.
neutral · AI labelView post →3. The Need For Speed (2014) is a god awful, "did it because we could play around with some super cars" movie with unrealistic tech and cliched pacing, but okay yeah, they made the Koenigsegg Agera the final hero car, that's a solid choice even with the McLaren and Veyron as the rival cars.
negative · AI labelView post →Need For Speed: Heat 5 year late review: its like all the best parts of all the different need for speed games + burnout + its like they made an open world fast and the furious movie. "what else could you pigs want!!!", says the ad campaign if i was in charge of the marketing department 5 yrs ago
neutral · AI labelView post →warner bros, you gotta get that denis villenueve guy outta there and get me to direct Dune Messiah so that I can open the film with MINDKILLER by Freeland (Need for Speed Underground 2 version)

neutral · AI labelView post →162. Need for Speed (2014), directed by Scott Waugh, first time viewing the only thing this movie hates more than good filmmaking is women
negative · AI labelView post →I watch Need For Speed (2014) probably 4 times a year. It's not a good movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Today I will be seeing that F1 film that recently came out. Very excited to see this one, as the last few racing themed movies I have seen (Gran Turismo and Need for Speed) were both fantastic. And this one has Brad Pitt in it, which means it must be pretty dang sick
positive · AI labelView post →#F1 :⭐⭐⭐ Brad vs Ferrari A TOP GUN-ish experience but on wheels Watching #F1TheMovie was like watching a 2000s "car" film. Boys will OD on this #F1Movie is gonna become a classic like NEED FOR SPEED Exactly what GRAN TURISMO could've & should've been #BradPitt #Filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Called shot: The Outrun movie will just be Need For Speed The Run, but brighter and happier with less gun.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ll stick to the Aaron Paul Need for Speed movie
positive · AI labelView post →also the real bummer about the Fast & the Furious series is that there were approximately zero movies that even remotely successfully capitalized on putting out even decent-at-best knockoffs. Torque, Redline*, the Aaron Paul Need for Speed movie: all toiletworthy *not the anime, this
neutral · AI labelView post →I know it’s not a great movie but I’ve got a massive soft spot for the Need for Speed movie, a definite comfort movie of mines. Cheesy Story, fast cars and the reduced CGI for practical stunts with replica cars … love it.
positive · AI labelView post →They should make a Godzilla movie where he's my friend and we hang out and play Need for Speed together
neutral · AI labelView post →Controversial take, but his part in Need for Speed elevated the entire movie in a way that I don't think another actor could have. Can't say favorite, because that'd take a March Madness bracket to figure out.
positive · AI labelView post →There was a NEED FOR SPEED movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →Just inadvertently reminded me that a movie based on the Need for Speed games exists somehow.
neutral · AI labelView post →I need Need for Speed Payback to be made into a movie, get the story polished up more and find the right people for the cast and it would be a great film to watch. Video is just a bonus. Rhinos in this game hit hard, but Mac hits Harder.
neutral · AI labelView post →Looks like Need For Speed - the movie. But I have to say, I’m a bit disappointed. From the thumbnail and title I expected Liam Neeson to have a violent rivalry with a mongoose. Didn’t see a single mongoose in that trailer.

neutral · AI labelView post →“May your love never end, and if you need a friend, there’s a seat here alongside me” @ageddragonflame.bsky.social and I felt like watching an underrated movie, so we went with Need for Speed. It’s honestly a solid racing movie and Aaron Paul was a good actor to have for this film. A classic imo

neutral · AI labelView post →What I'm getting is that nobody watched the Need for Speed movie. Yeah, understandable. Basically a B movie Fast and Furious.
negative · AI labelView post →Oh wow! This explains so much about the Need for Speed movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →Underrated game movie for me is Need for Speed. Very much a serious racing movie that tried to combine the hub world racing and police chases with the fun racing you’d expect, plus the movie’s soundtrack is so good especially with Linkin Park
positive · AI labelView post →Hmm??? Since when did they make a Ratchet & Clank movie? And Monster Hunter and Need for Speed too? Genuinely the first time I've heard of this

positive · AI labelView post →I mean, I enjoyed how Need For Speed turned out, though it was a bit long. So if they wanna do a popcorn just-kick-back-and-enjoy-the-fast-cars movie, then color me curious. will reserve final judgement til they can get a trailer out, though.
neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Bay has announced that he's directing a film adaptation of OutRun. This has the potential to be amazing, as all he basically have to do is a remake of The Cannonball Run. Then again, Need For Speed just needed to be The Fast and the Furious and that still completely missed that mark.
