RE: War Machine (film) : Not Brad Pitt's finest work

in #films6 years ago

I recently watched Ad Astra. I didn't think Brad Pitt was that great in that one either. The story was not that good either, IMO. I was thinking of seeing War Machine, but yeah, after this review and the last bad experience I think I will indeed skip it. Thanks.

Sort:  

you may recall that i was pretty unimpressed with Ad Astra also. I really liked Brad in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but i am starting to have difficulty remembering any films where he was truly exceptional.

I knew I had seen something about it somewhere. Duh! Haha. I totally didn't connect that it was you who had posted about it.
I have never watched Once upon a time in Hollywood. I will check it out. I liked 7 Years in Tibet myself.

could it be that Pitt is one of the pretty boys that made the right connections early on in his career and pulls big numbers just based on being Brad Pitt despite the fact that he really doesn't do anything special? I think his most cringeworthy role would be Interview with a Vampire, but then again almost everyone in that film other than Tom Cruise was pretty cringey.

When i said that once upon a time in Hollywood was one of the best films of 2019 i meant it, but then friends of mine said they hated the movie and nearly left the theater... i guess we all have our own movie types.
