RRR is

The best action movie of the year
The best musical of the year
The best romantic comedy of the year
The best historical drama of the year 

And the best movie ever made about fighting colonialism with dance battles and armies of rampaging animals and most of all, friendship

this got me thinking about how deteriorated the notion of spectacle is in the american cinema now. our spectacle is entirely metatextual, just watching different IP appear on screen together is supposed to be thrilling. RRR gets what actual spectacle should look like. absolutely electrifying from beginning to end. i’ll leave it at that bc i’m less familiar with indian cinema than i should be but i had an absolute blast watching this, laughing and cheering more than i’ve done in a theater in years. if you have the opportunity to see this in a theater do NOT pass it up

lol if you guys thought i was too hard on hollywood blockbusters *before* i saw this…

Easiest 5 stars I've ever given in my life

A MOVIE LARGELY ABOUT LOVING YOUR BRO AND GOING BEAST MODE THROUGH THICK AND THIN. EVERYONE ELSE DROPPING THIS YEAR CAN PACK IT UP. YOU ARE NOT TOPPING THIS

This is the greatest movie I have ever seen

holy shit? lmfao

S.S. Rajamouli should absolutely be nominated for Best Director this year, if not actually win. Do you know how much goodwill you have to build with your audience to follow a 40 minute title drop with what is essentially a full-length episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, expository theme song and all, in the middle of your 3 hour action epic, and have it work?

The shot of a black man shaking his head after that white guy does a really bad swing dance is the cut of the century. Absolutely intoxicating to sit in a crowd of 900 people loudly jeering the British monarchy. I know damn well there were some chaps in that theater, quietly shaking in their oxfords on some “oh dear oh bother” shit.

For the suspenders dance scene alone, this was one of the funnest movies I've seen in years, but in addition to that you get: a bromance for the ages, heroic bloodshed, revolutionary violence, hatred of the British, and homoerotic sadomasochism. It's the kind of movie Mel Gibson would make if he were Hindu, the Indian Braveheart, but with dancing. Seriously, get some friends, some beers and throw this on and be prepared for an amazing experience.

No movie in 2022 will go as hard as RRR does

WE FOUGHT A ZOO

Who among us has never cried tears of hot blood that steam as the droplets fall upon our cheeks?
