Attack The Block - Movie Review

[comedeyzone]

I'm 18 and in collage if i can find time to watch movies then you have no excuse ben

[Tymoneyy1997]

Wooop Woop data the sound of the police!

[purrot]

lol nice editing on this one

[SpazFilmz]

The title is actually Attack the Block.

[BSidnyrB]

I looooved this film! I understood the characters fine, Scottish accents would have been way harder for me, and I'm Scottish! haha :D Brill film!

[FamilyRoyalty]

Attack The Block not "of the"

[Zero7evenX]

Respect to the man on the left there, for recognising the accents (dialects) as teenage South London accents, and not saying its a London accent or even British as most Americans would say.

Good man, spot on.

[MrEdLoop]

@Zero7evenX Oh, sorry. Sorry that we Americans who live in another goddamned country from you can't differentiate between every single type of British accent. Tell me; would you recognize a Texas accent? A Dakota accent? A middle-Midwestern accent? A West-Coast accent? An East-Coast accent? A New England accent? A Jersey accent? A New York accent? A southern accent? A New Orleans accent? A Cajun accent?

No. You wouldn't. And I wouldn't expect you to. Because that would be unreasonable.

[Zero7evenX]

@MrEdLoop ""Oh, sorry. Sorry that we Americans who live in another goddamned country from you can't differentiate between every""

That's all I read. I'm not interested in you, nor your worthless smarmy horseshit.

[MrEdLoop]

@Zero7evenX Makes two of us.

[MrEdLoop]

@Zero7evenX And by the by, I'm American but I understood them perfectly. I dunno why most Americans can't.

[bumfire007]

@MrEdLoop guess you are one of few who uses context clues lol.

[jdroker]

So this is how the riots started... I know, I know...it's immature, I get it.

[Demov12]

I almost shit myself with pure excitment while watching this movie.

I really didnt think it would be as good as it was.

No movie this year was as much fun as this movie for me. If your American you might find it hard to relate too or understand what their saying. But i suggest you still watch it.

[ByTheGram]

Wtf kind of review is this? That movie was pure shit.

[ElTuco84]

3:19 Editing FAIL

[rozza12320]

@ElTuco84 hahaha i know i saw that too. i though it was a joke a first but no.

[TheEruIluvatar]

@ElTuco84 yh haha

[MrDragon1968]

Really pleased for Joe Cornish, I've been a big fan of Adam and Joe for years. Unfortunately it's meant they haven't been able to do much of their weekly show on BBC 6 Music recently though.

[Cypeq]

I feel kinda sad for this guy I'm not even native english speaker and I missed like 2 lines.

[flake452]

Just watched it, it was Okay but I hated the characters and wanted them to die, plus most of the actors middle class accents kept coming through.

[ProjectLonely]

I too just saw the movie. Really, really good. Brits make the best stuff.

[Ex0dus111]

Just saw this movie, it was GREAT!

I love how the kids start out mugging the nurse and u HATE THEM, its NOT something a director should allow for characters the audience are supposed to cheer for, but in this movie its like they drop the gauntlet with the mugging scene and say: Challenge Accepted!

[ZephonTLucifer]

Maybe there was a party at the Zoo, and a monkey shagged a fish?

LMFAO!

[lehman]

Scene unseen

[70bpmcamire]

FUCK YOU BEN!!! See just one movie please!

[rozza12320]

@70bpmcamire yeah its a strange type of review video when 1 of the 3 critics hasn't seen the film. it would be ok if he didn't say anything. but he's the most vocal one!

[fredguy2]

@ookami16 ummm no it's just you. Can't wait for zombie land 2!!

[ReminentMemoirs]

Innit blad?

[realMUSICisMUSE]

Edgar wright is easily one of the best directors to emerge from the 21st century

[robinvik1]

Isn't it always Ben?

[JesusPriceSuperstar]

I'm Borwn and American..........(idk how to make the eye thing)

[AvengerXP]

This movie looks terrible. Your scores are totally insane.

[realMUSICisMUSE]

@AvengerXP but its edgar wright.. it must be good

[vmistry94]

@AvengerXP If you haven't seen it you shouldn't be calling others out on whether it's good or not.

[ImaginedWriter]

These idiots aren't fighting aliens, they're burning large parts of London down.

[CenkIsAdorable]

Can Hollywood stop trying to get me to believe the stupid myth that there are actually black people in England

[walkerg42]

@CenkIsAdorable you've obviously never been to London or seen any British telly...London makes New York look like Amish Country :)



[CenkIsAdorable]

@walkerg42 Haha thanks for the laugh

[SeaTownGunner]

@CenkIsAdorable I'm Balck and English...............ಠ_ಠ

[SocialDissimulation]

@SeaTownGunner What the fuck is Balck? ಠ_ಠ

[CenkIsAdorable]

@SeaTownGunner You're "Balck?"

[jungsbodyguard]

@CenkIsAdorable This film is set in London where 30% of the population is non-white and over 10% are black. That's a higher black population percentage than Los Angeles.

[as2711]

@CenkIsAdorable stop taking the piss

[GreenJanuary]

These reviews are less of reviews and more of conversations about the movie, which wouldnt be a problem if all parties involved had actually seen the movie. Stop trying to add in humor, none of you are funny. I like Jonathan Kim better.

[missmahnee]

hope it does well in the US, as it's probably not going to have much of an audience in the UK anymore.

[leebrandt33]

Just saw it. This movie is overrated. It's ok, but NOT great and NOT awesome. The characters are uninteresting. The people who will love this movie is the internet crowd. But your average American will think it's meh.

[916superman22]

Ben I love you man, but watch the fucking movies man.

[Phloid82]

I love how everyone in this movie sounds like Ali G. Awesome.

[sdeary1]

fs how can americans not understand this??? im from france :P

[Phyrexious]

Apart from the BBC documentaries, British movies/series are utter shit.

But with the BBC they still come out on top. <3

[vmistry94]

@Phyrexious Misfits? Inbetweeners? Red Dwarf? Fawlty Towers? Jonathan Creek? Doctor Who? Sherlock? Being Human? Jekyll? Outnumbered? IT Crowd? Coupling? In terms of film, there's Nolan, Boyle, Kubrick, and so on.

Basically, you're wrong.

[YorkshireClash]

@vmistry94 I love that you mention Inbetweeners, probably my favourite t.v. show of all time. At least of the comedy genre. Drama I'd go Breaking Bad.

[mrjammed]

well 9.1 ok i will see it when it get to washington

[audadvnc]

Cowboys and Aliens, update... and a 10 to boot! Makes me wanna see it - hope it comes to Minneapolis soon.

[aandreya]

i love those brittish parodies.

[alexd765]

this is sloppy

[htedrom]

less is not always more, it just builds up the disappointing reveal. sometimes more is more, a la The Host

[PolexiaAphrodisia]

Where can I apply to become a film critic, I have some experience related to the film world and writing. Advise?

[asrexproductions]

This is a kickass film.

[OcularPolitics]

Why is everybody bitching about the 'game'? hahahah xD

They just want Ben on, as do I, to have someone to talk about the movie with so it's not just two people. Fuck all of you :P

[OcularPolitics]

LOL TYT got the title wrong XD

[CarlosIsDown]

Haha, they didn't edit it

[IcyKitty]

can I hear Christy's heartbeat?

[orchoose]

Hold, start ower i was totaly looking away?!? SO WHAT? U r not on fucking CNN Ben, calm down:D I just hope it was partly joke:D

[Nilguiri]

@orchoose

Knowing Ben, he was totally joking.

[orchoose]

@Nilguiri Maybe but i doesnt look like it:D I bet he is doing this more often and this was just revange from Jesus or guys from studio t¨hat they once didt cut it out:D Do u remember what was Ben doing with his hairs some times ago.

[Nilguiri]

@orchoose

Maybe. But Ben is always joking around, and he has such dry humour that people often don't get him. If he was joking, Christy took him seriously.

Yes, he is obsessed with his - and other guys' - hair. He often says politicians are unelectable based on their hair!

;)

[orchoose]

@Nilguiri Yes, fun for everybody. It was nice talk to you:D see u.

[philosophis]

dont play that stupid game.... seriously, credibility guys!!

[MikeHelehel]

they need to make a US remake and an alien tries to invade Detroit and get fucked up

[Domskater55]

wow they gave that a 9.1. its not bad but a 9.1.

[moviedude22]

I hate that game it's a drain on show

[nemo3590]

Also, I thought the Brits had The Doctor to handle shit like this for them?

[Dahgrostabphri]

@nemo3590 The Doctor was off this week

[xyzoneon]

@nemo3590 The Doctor was beaten senseless in the riots.

[beanio12]

@nemo3590

He's busy with the riots right now.

[4203105]

@nemo3590

And Torchwood. But kids fighting aliens was Sarah Janes territory and she died recently. :(

I guess as long as they don't have a replacement, the kids are on their own.

[strtthshw]

@nemo3590 The Doctor never visits the ghetto lol

[nemo3590]

Where the hell can I see this movie? I checked the listings for every theater in the Milwaukee area and came up with nothing!

[SenorFancyPants87]

I thought this was a documentary about what happens when aliens try to invade the hood.

[0508Gee]

that shit game they play in the beginning is super unprofessional and it sucks

[kevdawg05]

@0508Gee I'm with you. They're job is to watch movies. They can dig deep and see a late showing to chat about it.

[ChiefRepublic]

There is no such thing as a south london accent.

[ThomAitken7]

Attack the Block* or at least that's what it was called in the UK

[stukajunker88]

I saw it being filmed, living in London, and one of my friends was a runner on it. The block is actually about ten different locations, all around South London. There's one in Tower Hamlets, one in Elephant and Castle, one in Oval (South East, South and South West) so not so much on the limited space :)

[EZ23TEHE]

I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME

[MichaelScarn23]

<3 Christy

[steelhamster]

We Londoner's know how to deal with pesky alien invaders. Unlike certain other cities that have to call in the army ;-)

[ancoloco]

GREAT FILM !!!

[sharky0922]

stoopid

[tonyspacecowboy]

STEVEN!!!!!!!

[DaRunningMan]

"Attack of the Block"

I guess it was Mankiewicz who typed the name of the movie for the youtube upload. :P

[annata12]

Why can't they talk normal in full sentences and with the correct syntax?

[chefawkes]

@annata12

because that's not normal.

[obermeier21]

Are there food critics who critique food they haven't sampled?

[metsrdabest]

@obermeier21 well ben didnt give an opinion (his rating doesnt count) on the movie, so that analogy is irrelevant.

[SnakesShed]

ooo shwaaa MY NIPPLES

[HalfricanNanners]

i just cant see kids from london actin badass lol, now new york yes but due to my american ignorance every time they talk i laugh :)

[drpayne2008]

@HalfricanNanners London actually has a higher crime rate than New York does. That's obviously not a good thing, but still...

[ilpalozzo]

I used to watch Joe Cornish on Adam and Joe on Channel 4 way back. Look for Adam and Joes Toy Movies to see their Hilarious parodies of Titanic, The English Patient, Snatch and Showgirls because they totally nail those movies

[nriab23]

This film was out ages ago?

[xCrimsonGear]

@nriab23 It came out in the US july 29th

[thething00]

Stephen!

[nonameisacat]

Looks awesome.

[captcrais101]

Where is Cowboys and ALiens? How come they haven't reviewed that movie yet?

[jo05dk]

judging by the trailer alone it seems pretty amazing, but after listening to that review, it's on my must see list.

Editing fail: really WTF? Come on;o)

[barkevvv]

too bad the trailer took up half the video...

[godman316]

10! :)



[ObiWanGuacamoli]

Whoa, that's quite a rating. I'll definitely have to check it out. Even though I think everyone on the panel makes great commentary and provides thoughtful insight, I think that the "guessing" game could be improved upon. Maybe if you guys gave your predictions for the first minute of the video and then follow it up with your reviews after all of you have watched it. Otherwise, it seems like there are only two reviewers talking. It just seems more entertaining when all 3 of you give reviews.

[otocan]

Guys - for future reference it might be a fun game for you to play but it's 100% more interesting and informative for the viewer if you have all seen the freaking movie!

[scifiwritir1]

I love films with characters from the hood -- any hood, actually. So much more fun than films set in some non-descript city with middle class characters. It sounds fun.

[rorylol]

It seems to be a reoccurring trend with Ben not to watch the movies he reviews.

What's the point of having him on the show when he can't supply any interesting insight and having no idea what the hell he is talking about?

All you get are the usual flat jokes and lazy attitude, which gets old really fast.

[infinitemonet]

This film was awesome. Those who know who Joe Cornish was before (I'm trying not be pretentious, I'm just English) would have predicted how good it'd be.

[SocialDissimulation]

Yeah, I'll watch this one.

[flowergirl1313]

Like how Ben asked for a retake, but they forgot to edit it out

[TsugaruClan]

Attack of the Block?? Is the Block really the one doing the attacking? :)

[MrPineaplXpress89]

great english film, good to see an american audience giving it praise

[milesmungo]

Do yourself a favour and see this movie (if you can). I had no problem understanding their accents, but it shouldn't deter you from seeing this movie if you think you won't. I'll be buying this on blu-ray as soon as it's available. If I had to rate it, I'd say about a 9, 9.5.

[acrophobe]

review starts at 3:30

[papasalas]

Is it me or Christy is getting hotter?

[quaxk]

somebody forgot to edit that out :) -> 3:18 - 3:25

[DimmedDiamond]

The characters are too annoying for me to take interest in this film

[dramatish]

@DimmedDiamond judging by what ? ..the trailer?..we you judge characters by the trailer you should jump from a bridge..dumb

[DimmedDiamond]

@dramatish You've missed the point of trailers. You put your best foot forward, this didn't (or it did and this was as bad as it looked).

[YeisonAgudelo90]

does ben ever watch the movies anymore?

[Sneezlebob]

I thought this said Attack of the Black

[bunkmasterflex]

Is that fucking dappy? where's simon amstell when you need him?

[TheLukeHazard]

retake fail 3:20 lol

[TsugaruClan]

@TheLukeHazard The retake wasn't the fail. It was the editing of the video that was off.

[mistacramer]

@TheLukeHazard

Special Guest Director: Ed Wood

[lifehigh655]

@mistacramer That is fucking good. lol.

[FateRegios]

now i really have my hopes up. :)

[nhurtbeans]

Glad we got the name of the movie sorted out... Now we just need to fix the title of this video and the description.

[EricStrifflerVids]

Attack The Block*

[69mrmidgetman]

1st
