Agreed, can’t wait to see it, and I know I’m not alone.
I love MJ, Jordan brand shoes as well as being considerably interested in this story.
Not sure about this, but if Damon and Affleck co-wrote Air then I’ll be even more inclined to see this. Big fan of their writing, not to mention, Affleck is solid a director.

As Kowalski proclaims nostalgia is a huge driving force, however the trailer did very little for me. Im on the fence.

Kawalski, you were right! I was wrong! This is a huge hit. People pay to see shoes they love. My bad.

I know I'm 7 months late...but this is the first time I've ever seen a "this will flop" post where OP came back to say they were wrong.

It's...unheard of...

Killin’ it on rottentomatoes!
So far it’s holding at 100%, will surely drop but I’m thinking it will settle at low to mid nineties.

IMDB is 8.5 right now and I heard two radio talk show hosts today saying it is great.

7.8 and hasn't been released... will likely settle in the low 7s/high 6s.

I'm a big fan of Matt & Ben and being a Boston area native even more so. I was born in the mid 80's so recall the nostalgia but have no desire to see this movie, even on a free stream.

It's the story of a successful black man, of course it's wOkE and it will get review bombed.

fuck off, far right fuck.

Me being a republican has nothing to do with that post! When you resort to post like yours you have already lost.

I'm just calling a spade a spade.

The story is of a determined employee (can't remember his position) of Nike who went above and beyond and didn't easily take no for an answer. If not for him, and the coworkers that he had a hard time convincing to go along with his plan, the their basketball division might not be in business today. I'm not even a sports fan and love the story. A funny, feel good movie, but not in a sappy way. The actor playing Michael Jordan barely makes an appearance.

[–] Porsche911 (3667) 2 years ago

LOL you trust those early paid reviews?

reply

[–] DancingintheDark (1719) 2 years ago

I trust Affleck as a director.
Argo
The Town
Gone Baby Gone
All damn fine films, and universally lauded, even Live By Night was decent. Wasn’t great but so what, he was a lead in it as well, stretched himself to thin on that one is all.
