I wanna see that! The official "doesn't merit its own thread" movie trailer thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

I watched it with low expectations that were met or exceeded. Everyone in the movie turns their over-the-top acting dials to 11, with the exception of Phylicia Rashad who doesn't have enough screen time to do so. I was impressed how Jason Statham says all of his lines while keeping a straight face, although I suspect somewhere there are miles of outtakes where he and others failed to do so. It helps that the targets of the gratuitous violence are internet and telephone scammers, so pretty much every viewer will be on board with the mayhem. And the movie is directed by David Ayer who did a great job wifh Fury.

In the mood for a stupid action movie? The Beekeeper awaits.

OK. Sometimes I like a stupid action movie. John Wick, anyone?

"Stupid action movie" is a very good description. It's fairly similar in plot sophistication to the Statham's Transporter series. If you are in the mood for a mindless shoot-em-up flick, this fits the bill.

It kind of reminds me of the old Commando movie and other mindless action movies that Ahhnold Schwarzenegger did - explosions, violence, nonsense plot, etc. Statham has that brooding strong/silent type vibe that he does better than anyone else, but he doesn't deliver the classic one-liners that Ahhnold used to deliver and which made Ahhnold's action movies "fun".

Let's take a step back here for a minute. Statham is great, but he doesn't do that better than Vin Diesel.

I am interested in watching it, but why does it have such low ratings?

It is just ridiculous fun. A lot of people act like they are too good for those types of movies.

Because it was dumb gratuitous violence. But on a flight it passed the time very well.

The Beekeeper is awesome. Statham really really really hates elder abuse. Highly recommend it.

It was fun.

Concur.

I'm not at all sure I want to see The Beekeeper, as it's a Jason Statham movie, but I like the premise. From the preview it looks like a kindly older woman (Felicia Rashad) kills herself because she got scammed by one of those call centers that implant bugs on gullible people's computers then charge unconscionable amounts when one calls the provided help number. Statham's character does what we'd all like to do to such businesses. It also helps that the ultimate bad guy is Jeremy Irons, but I'm still unsure. The preview, even just the first 60 seconds, probably covers it.

I love how the first thing you see is "this preview is rated G", and then the rest of it is gratuitous violence.

My wife lived in Bartlesville when her dad was fresh out of Va Tech with his PhD until he got to be a professor.

My dad's first job was for Phillips, and we lived in Bartlesville for a couple years when I was young.
