Every character is basically a caricature. Nothing clever about the writing. Literally has a "what are we, some kind of Suicide Squad?" line in it. Jared Leto plays a fucking circus clown. The accents were offensively bad, especially Driver's. Jeremy Irons (who didn't even try to use an accent lol) phoned it the fuck in.

It's basically so bad it's funny, so at least it had that. And Al Pacino was pretty damn good but Leto was basically out chewing the master of chewing the scenery in every scene they were in together, and not in a good way.

Ridley Scott probably doesn't have too many more movies left in him. I'd really hate for this to be his last.

He's going to try to blame young people or technology on his movie sucking again, just wait.

I saw a trailer before No Time to Die.

It looked absolutely awful.

Lady Gaga with the fakest Italian accent going "Father, son and House of Gucci" made me cringe so hard I wanted to die. That said,

I did assume that was kind of the point.

If I were 84 years old and Ridley Scott I'd probably talk shit too tbh, but I'd also at least read through a fucking script for once to make sure I'm not making a dog shit movie lol

I think the worst part about Gucci is that it's 2 hours and 44ish minutes and it does nothing to earn that runtime. You could easily cut out an hour and 15 minutes from the movie and it would be better off cuz you'd at least have less of it to watch.

Also I'm seeing "buzz" about Lady Gaga's performance and I'm really surprised. She was not good either. And not as a slight to her. Pretty much everyone other than Al Pacino, Jack Huston and Salma Hayek were not good.

Yeah when I saw the trailer I really thought this.
I'm not Italian but, I thought "maybe I'm just too cynical because there's no way they'd get these famous ppl and a good director and have bad accents, what do I know!"
But everyone is saying they're bad accents and making me feel better

Yeah the accents were awful, but I got over it quickly. I thought the beginning of the movie was cute when they were falling in love.

Didn't even care about the accents by the end of it compared to the rest of the movie.

I saw it with the girlfriend. I didn't hate Lady Gaga, and I didn't hate the movie as much as I thought I would, but goddamn nearly 3 hours.

Mostly I was bored.

i was kinda looking forward to this movie when i first saw the trailer. Saw it today and even tho it wasnt that bad, it definitely could have been better...

some of the scene transitions were pretty awkward. like when it cuts from Maurizio's father finding out he's gonna have a grandchild straight to his funeral.

and my god, wtf @ Jared Leto. does he really think italians sound like Super Mario or something?? lol

Does the Gucci brand play any part in the movie at all? Or is it more like a bad drama movie between people that just happened to be a part of the family or whatever.

Looked bad from the trailers. Hopefully Del Toro's Nughtmare Alley won't suck.

Del Toro never sucks, but he's an entirely different director than Scott. He a real auteur. (No offense to Scott, but he knows hes not an auteur lol)

What did you expect after that awful trailer? I was surprised the trailer was released given it had tons of errors in it editing wise, it was a mess.

The editing is way worse in movie. Like there's cuts where the actors mouths aren't even moving mid sentence. They really fucked up.
