Road House Remake Discussion Thread Starring Conor McGregor

Who knows. I’m old enough to not form an opinion without seeing it from some weirdo movie and food critics. The strangest fellas. Who look for negative shit in everything. As they’re the truth.
I doubt I’ll ever get around to seeing this. But if a movie is entertaining it serves its purpose.

Shit I loved roadhouse but not because it’s gritty realism. That’s just retarded it was a fun movie.

When I watch weekend at Bernie’s I’m not screaming at the screen and typing and writing about how they would go to prison for life. and how sinful it is.
 
They cast Conor McGregor in “Road House”... I get it. I mean, it makes sense. The guy’s got a big personality, and they tried to use that. But, it didn’t quite hit the mark.

Don’t get me wrong, the fight scenes were intense. You can tell Conor knows his stuff there. But acting? It’s more than just throwing punches. His lines felt a bit off, like he was trying too hard. And you know how he’s usually so charismatic in interviews? Didn’t see much of that in his performance.

And another thing, his character, Knox, kind of took over the movie. Not because he was that good, but because he’s Conor McGregor. It felt like he was overshadowing Jake Gyllenhaal, who’s the lead.

Honestly, it was interesting to see Conor try acting, but I think he’s better off in the UFC octagon.

His performance in the movie kind of reminded me of that saying, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

Postscript: Big ups to that Postie Maloney cameo. Carter Ford, son!

As per IMDB - Roadhouse



Here’s some of the more complimentary ones I could find

“I'm not sure why they attempt to remake such strong 80s movies and think just by sticking in some expensive looking choreographed fight scenes that people would ignore the terrible scripting. Why they decided to cast McGregor, is beyond me. Possibly the worst acting I've ever seen, so wooden and boring it really ruined an ok film. Jake as usual was great, acting was very solid, you can tell he does his homework. I did get a bit bored half-way through and thought about turning it off but the optimist in me wanted to see if anything did improve. It's not going to win many awards and don't think McGregor has much of an acting career ahead of him.”

——————

“I was expecting a fun action movie, and it started well. Jake is great (as youd expect), and so are most of the supporting cast.

There are also some fun moments and lines. But then Conor Mcgregor turns up and it goes down hill fast. He really can't act, and just stomps around spouting cringe one liners that he can't pull off. You'd also expect at least his fight scenes to be good, but they weren't.

With another actor in the Mcgregor role this could have been a great action movie.

The fight scenes are hit and miss with some looking very fake with some bad cgi at times too. In fact the cgi is pretty poor in general.”

Conor is going to take each bad review personally and we are in for a few assaults I think <bringit>

Haven't been so unenthusiastic about watching a movie since Mr Nanny and Suburban Commando with Hulk Hogan in.

Although the fight scenes were probably a little better in those movies because Hogan was strong
 
Reviews aren’t terrible though so it seems like some haters are just gonna hate. Regardless of how bad or acceptable he is, he is a million times better than Ronda.

So unenthusiastic that you watched it within minutes of its release. Haha typical delusional hater. Hollywood king Conor bless.
 
Movie was pretty meh, but conor played conor turned up to 11, and I thought it was the most fun character in the movie.
This is coming from someone who gets sick satisfaction seeing Conor get bounced in his fights.
 
"Possibly the worst acting I've seen" hahaha. I knew this was going to happen after seeing his Burger King commercial acting.
