Or how it never comes out and openly deals with his violent temper/anger issues, but they’re clearly very present.
AI would go into more but this is a pre-release thread!
Did someone say Robin Hood: Director’s Cut watchalong?
ANooj thanks for posting that interview. Shane Black is always entertaining and honest in those things.
AI thought this was great. Hilarious and some heart in it too. Refreshing to get a film like this in the summer. Of course no one will go see it. Shane Black has pretty much become my favorite filmmaker. Is this going to be the post thread where we can talk spoilers?
I wouldn’t mind this just becoming the post-release thread. It’s not as if there was a bunch of pre-release discussion. But I would still use spoiler text until more people see the movie.

I found myself craving YooHoo today.

ALove Gosling’s girlish scream. I thought there would be more of it in the film though.
ASeeing this in a couple minutes. I’m very excited for this

Of course no one will see it. It ain’t a superhero film.
I really appreciate that this movie doesn’t overplay its hand in any single way. It’s terribly well balanced. It really leaves you wanting to watch these characters on another case.
AAbsolutely. I felt their chemistry was as good as RDJ/Kilmer.
I’m leaning towards seeing this over the weekend (to hold me over til X-Men 
), but one question: Better than Iron Man 3?
IM 3 was a good funny first viewing for me, but after a 2nd viewing I never need to see it again.
ADifferent movies obviously, but this is Shane Black not put through the Marvel machine so this is better. But I do love Iron Man 3 still.
ABetter comparison is with my favorite movie, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Not as funny as that one but I thought the mystery/case was more interesting in this one. I feel like Nice Guys will only improve with repeat viewings.
KKBB is SO entertaining, that I so easily forget what the actual mystery/case is.
I agree that the mystery in THE NICE GUYS is more involving and balanced with the character stuff.
Definitely ‘better’ than IRON MAN THREE (if we MUST compare the movies because they’re all by Black), if only because his new movie doesn’t end in a big obligatory hodge-podge of CG cannon-fodder flying around meaning nothing.
Does Nice Guys at least have a better Rhody in it?
Just kidding. Thanks for the opinions. I look forward to being one of 5 people in the theater Saturday afternoon (unless girls come out in force for The Gosling or Dadbod Crowe).
Shit, I would’ve watched a three-person play that’s just Crowe, Gosling, and the daughter arguing, complete with Gosling
throwing in not-well-thought-out Hitler comparisons every so often.
