But this film really needs its own thread, so more of you fine folks discover it.hepcat wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 1:06 pm Yeah, I need to remind myself to find that one. I've seen that clip before.
I still stand by my earlier assertion that Indian films are not my cup of tea. However, there are always exceptions to every rule.
You can point out a hundred things that are wrong about RRR, and I'll agree with most, if not all, of them. But it doesn't matter when you get to the fight scenes. They're beautifully shot, incredibly imaginative (to the point of being hilariously over the top at times...but entertainingly so, as opposed to annoyingly so), and more brutal than I would have thought they would be from previous experiences with Indian films.
And the song and dance is kept to a minimum (although there is a torture scene song that was actually pretty moving).
Also, they inform you at the start of the film that the animals in all the fight scenes are completely CGI...which is amazing when you watch the movie. That is some top shelf CGI, I have to say.
I'm not even going to put a trailer in, because you shouldn't watch it. Just free up about 3 hours, 5 minutes, and go in blind. You will not regret it.
If you must prepare yourself, watch this educational review targeted at us India-ignorant Americans. But really, save that for afterward, along with the soundtrack.
