The Hitman's Bodyguard sucks. Don't bother.

I thought it was great. Don't listen to BJC. If you like FUN movies where 90% of the script is muthafucker this movie is for you.

And it has explosions. And car chases. And witty banter. And good funny lines! And a plot twist you see from about the first frame. It's a Michael Bay movie only more (intentionally) funny.

Of course at this point just wait for the On-Demand around Christmas.

Annebelle! STILL NOT ENOUGH FREAKING DOLL! Not really a doll movie, more a demon movie just like the first one. Creepy, though. I was uncomfortable during the entire last quarter of the movie when everything was going to hell. That's the mark of a good horror.

Also, I found that it helps the mood when someone at the end of the row is easily scared.

I was bored out of my mind and stopped watching after about 30 minutes.

I could imagine a Longplay on youtube or a lets play being more interesting.

Your lack of taste shouldn't sully an otherwise perfectly good buddy movie. It was like watching Deadpool without the Marvel Comics overhead, costumes, "believable" story, and no super powers stuff (arguable though with some of those amazing stunts!).

BOOM! Bomb!
POW! Punch!
BANG! Gun!
ZOOM! Good Guy Car!
CRASH! Bad Guy Car!
ROAR! Fire! (Tiger? Lion?)
...

Need I go on? This is what Great American Cinema looks like in 2017! It will look like this in 2018 except Ryan Renolds will be wearing the Deadpool outfit again instead of a regular suit.

Seriously though, worth the rental.
