Has anyone seen The Gentleman? What did you think?

I've been waiting for the Gentleman to come out for a while and haven't gotten the chance to see it just yet. It looks awesome and I love the cast but what did you think of it?

Just saw it last week.

The much-awaited return of Guy Ritchie to his crime caper era. It is by no means a "Snatch" or "Rockn'Rolla" but it holds its own for sure. It was refreshing to watch Guy Ritchie do his impressive-cast-crime-comedy thing again. There seems to be a lot more restraint in his directing style (read: no fast cuts). Great soundtrack and cool men in fashionable outfits. Usual Guy Ritchie fare.

I am not a Colin Farrell fan but I think he was the most fun character to watch. Matthew McConaughey was his usual Matthew McConaughey self, which is always great.

I think its a fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I can see how it could seem to some like a shadow of the genre-defining movies that Guy Ritchie put out with movies like Lock-Stock and Snatch. The story was pretty linear with some twists and a few meta moments.

I am still waiting for the "Real Rockn'Rolla".

I'd give it a solid 3.7/5

As someone who hasn't seen any other Guy Ritchie movies I must say ut was fantastic. I loved the cast and the film was shot beautifully. I really enjoyed it.

No, I haven't. I hope to watch it one of these days. The reviews have been good.
