Lots of action. Lots of blown up body parts. Cheesy quips. And nothing else. No purpose. No plausible relationships or motivation. No mystery in how it will end. Not my cup of tea. I give this film a 3 (bad) out of 10. [Expensive Mind-numbing Action]
I think some viewers and experts are hating a bit to much on this movie - just a simple action movie with Ryan Reynolds in it. Simple and and fun movie to spend your evening by.
I got everything I was expecting to get from trailer and I'm satisfied.
Oh, come on, my dudes. It's not as bad as you're making it out to be. Yes, the first act was unnecessarily convoluted and yes, the third act had too many greeting card moments but the action scenes were as exciting and fresh as sex with a well armed armed prostitute. And like that encounter, 6 Underground isn't earth moving but at least you come away with your money's worth.
How can you not love this movie? Throwing some good nudity and I would give it 11 over 10. Incredible actions. The magnet stuff has never been done before in ANY MOVIE!
I know it's a bullshit movie okay, everyone who watched it knows that! But it's some great bullshit and I'm glad i watched it. Trailer was right, it is the Michael Bayest movie of all Michael Bay movies.
No, no, no... This was an incoherent mess.
The film is structured as though it tries to be something edgier and cooler than it is. It's an action movie, and barely that. It jumps back and forth but it adds nothing to the plot. The main characters are hard to root for as they kill innocent people from left to right. The product placements are too much and gets in the way of the story, not that there's much story to talk about.
And it's about forty minutes too long.
Michael Bay peaked with 'The Rock'.
Ηuge mess once again, well done Michael.
Michael Bay, there is only one Michael Bay!
Non. Stop. Action.
Despite other naysayers, I absolutely loved this movie. The 20 minute car chase in the beginning was one of the best I've seen. It definitely had a nod to the '80's action films where it was all about the action and one liners and never took itself seriously. We need more movies like this.
I watched this movie and liked it. Not loved it. The explosions. The cheesy lines. The allure of having at least 6 people somewhere trying to make a difference in a world that is otherwise a total disaster in some parts while in the other parts it's just a rat race. So yes, I liked a movie, where people woke up one day and said, you know what? I'll do something about this. Reynolds actually alludes to this when he says something along the lines of; little actions can have a big impact.
Now after I watched this movie, I did what any other traditional person does. Hopped on the internet to see what the world thought of it and to check if a second installment was already on the way, because I want more. Imagine my surprise when I found a few articles from mainstream media, denouncing it for garbage. Even worse, I found a few comments here that describe the movie as garbage.
I won't disagree, but when did we start to expect EVERY movie to be a cultural masterpiece?? This movie isn't here to teach you about the world. It isn't here to inspire you. It's here for some fun. If you're looking for a movie to watch with your mates while your all just eating pizza and drinking beer, well this is it.
If you're looking for a movie to watch with the wife and kids, this probably isn't it. Depending on how comfortable you are with watching women in lingerie, while the scenes are depicting all the signs of people having fun, and sharing all of that with your kids. Oh did I mention that there is a lot of blood? no? my bad. So this definitely isn't one for the family to sit down and watch together.
But it is a fun movie if all that you need is, explosions, beautiful people half naked for a few scenes, parkour and tremendous car crashes. Have fun and for crying out loud, don't decide to skip the movie just because a few ... decided to wake up and call it a horrible movie. Make up your own mind and enjoy watching Reynolds drop a few deadpool-esque lines.
This is definitely a Michael Bay movie and it is terrible.
Not the best movie but it was entertaining to watch. Lot of actions from the beginning, like really fast pace movie. I felt bad for #6. not expecting his part. Also they missed telling the story of 5 and 6. How they met. beside that, it was a fun movie to watch with some good joke.
Classic stupid Michael bay movie. What a waste
I'm going to save you more than an hour of your life: Watch the opening 10 mins or so - the car chase, then switch off and go do something useful like the dishes or laundry.
The car chase is incredible – 10/10 for really good and realistic special effects. Once it ends, this movie is completely disjointed, with bad dialogue, forced “comedy” and bad over-acting. Even the car chase is badly written/filmed cause the bad guys just appear out of nowhere on their tail… quite literally they aren’t there and suddenly they are!!
The entire story is overly elaborate and convoluted.
Unfortunately its set up for more of these horrible sequels in the future. I’d give this a solid 1/10 (it gets a 1 for the chase special effects)
this really does not deserve to be called a movie
It’s loud, it’s incoherent, it's cheesy (not the good kind), it’s extremely cringy, it’s edited by someone who snorts too much cocaine, it's shot like a pornographic film, the needle drops are shit, the acting sucks, the writing’s completely trivial and garbage, but none of that’s too surprising considering who directed it.
The annoying thing about Michael Bay is that he’s convinced that he’s awesome, whereas he’s really just a massive pleb.
He's like a dumb, charmless bro, and that personality is reflected in his movies.
This is truly the worst kind of excess, not even defensible as a ‘dumb, pulpy action movie’.
1.5/10
Pointless plot with a stupid setting that makes no sense.
No characters you could care about.
Dialogues that only manage to annoy.
Action scenes as boring fillers, providing zero entertainment. Even that one unique idea was barely noteworthy.
That's subpar even by Michael Bay's standards.
Wow, Netflix, you outdone yourself. This is an even bigger crap than Bright.
"Ok, this looks like a cool movie, right? Perfect to be the last one of 2019!". Ugh. What the hell was I thinking!!!???
It's like they tried to mix together Ocean's 11 + any Fast and Furious + Deadpool + the parkour from the Assassins creed games. And failed in an spectacular way. Michael Bay's style.
Great visual effects. Decent sountrack. Awful at everything else.
This is bad even considering this is a Michael Bay movie and I had very, very low expectations. Probably hadn't even watched this if it wouldn't be on Netflix. But since I kinda payed for it already I thought: why not ?
You start with a 20 min car chase that really is nothing but sugar-coating CGI enhanced stunts. By the way Bay must have developed a fetish for flying bodies 'cause there are lots of them throughout the movie. You basically get the tone of the movie. Its all out, over the top, unrealistic action with an excuse (and I mean this in the truest sense of the word) for a story. Short note to Mr. Bay: more is not always better. You could cut out an hour of the movie. I wonder, what would he be doing if there wasn't any CGI available. You definately feel the Deadpool vibe but it's not catching here. Don't know what Reynolds saw in the script that made him want to do this movie but please: NO SEQUEL.
The car chase is very good. But my main issue with the movie is that i did not care how the story ends or what happens with any of the characters. Cause it is poorly written. Even for a Action movie.
Some of the sequences were good. However, too much of a good thing is never good. The editing and the flashback sequence placements were annoying as it completely threw off the pace of the story. How many freaking carts have to die in a Bay movie before someone has an intervention! In the end, it's not a story. It's a kid who just puts shit in the movie as he goes just because it would be cool. It would have been better if done by ANYONE else who can tell a story. Bay needs some Ritalin!
Wow... What a mess of a film. :rofl:
As far as stupid bullshit goes, this was excellent for the category. Story is a mess, editing is nauseating. Some interesting action scenes, but hilariously gratuitous as Michael Bay do.
Extremely forgettable and average movie.
Bloody hell, that hurts!
I watched only 54 minutes and it hurt my eyes and my brain. All you see is explosions whishing through your screen and Deadpool commenting on stuff that is happening, that you don't even understand because your brain is so fully stimulated with explosions. Watch something else, you'll be better off!
The plot (as far as I could tell) is something about people who are ghosts, somehow believed dead, but instead are actually recruited by Deadpool, who is rich. Then they kill people. Or rob banks. Or do highspeed car chases through narrow Italian cities. Not quite sure.
Then they dress up and kill some corrupt mob guy in a fancy Dubai hotel. Then I stopped watching.
I do NOT, under no circumstances, recommend anyone to watch that movie! Not even if you liked Transformers, which I liked very, very much. Normally, a Transformers-movie is a movie which one can watch without thinking. Just watch some explosions and big robots beating each other and no one has to think about plot or relations or anything else, because the only elements there are, are violence and explosions. And that works there, but somehow not when Deadpool plays the lead. And in my opinion, Ryan Reynolds is, just like Kristen Stewart, unable to play anything else than one role.
What a terrible shame.
It's a mess but in typical Michael Bay messy form. Brain cells - be gone!
5 - Meh
Having jumped into this movie knowing little else than Ryan Reynolds is in it, I got what I expected: a Micheal Bay movie with Ryan Reynolds. It can be funny at times, though the seriousness is sometimes lost in the action.
What a fucking mess of a movie
using Abu Dhabi's most iconic buildings to illustrate a fictional place called "Turgistan" is not very wise in my opinion...
Fun and pretty — just how I like 'em.
Another incoherent Michael Bay movie. That is so sexy and nice to look at. That you wish it was a good movie.
6 Underground is yet another Michael Bay car advertisement/stunt show. With barely any plot, a wasted good cast and brainless action. In other words, 6 Underground might as well be a Transformers movie.
If Bay cared about plot and character development. He could easily be a good director. Instead we’re thrust into a whole lot of action. With no clue why there’s such a long car chase going on.
Wow...DO NOT waste your time on this movie. It is so boring!
i got a rule! always watch a movie until the end no matter how bad it is.. this was the first in a long time that made me break that rule..
what a mess!
It’s a two hour movie. But the action scenes never fail to amaze me
The Five Faces of 6 UNDERGROUND
:heart_eyes:
//
:smiley:
There are some truly shocking and brilliant moments of excitement and violence.
Some of the dialogue is really funny, particularly when delivered by Ryan Reynolds.
Reynolds is clearly enjoying himself and puts some of Deadpool in his performance. He easily steals the show. Ben Hardy is also great, particularly in his awesome parkour sequence.
Michael Bay is a visual director and that can clearly be seen from the beauty of the landscape shots, explosions and action scenes. He doesn't really care about the rest.
At best the film presents some funny banter between the characters and some awesome and well executed operations. The operation to save the brother is really good and entertaining.
:neutral_face:
It's all there - massive explosions, spectacular car chases and overlong action sequences. It has Michael Bay written all over it. Most action scenes are spectacular but make no sense and serve no real purpose other than to look good.
Most of the blood and gore is gross without any good reason and just feels over the top.
The characters have one defining characteristic that their entire existence is built on. The actors have very little room to actually make them interesting.
Dave Franco still feels stiff and unnatural like always and just doesn't fit in an action film.
:frowning2:
Action scenes have been chopped into pulp. The editing makes for confusing and broken action scenes that are all over the place, but never where they should be.
The simple and unoriginal story is made tough to follow as the fast-paced editing continues to dominate the parts that are supposed to give the viewer some exposition. The film hardly slows down, but keeps its fast pace all the time. It gets tiresome very fast.
The script tries to stuff too many missions into one movie, so it's hard to keep track of what is going on.
Some of the acting is very stiff and distracting, as it sticks out from the okay and good acting.
The script jumps back and forth between different points in time, which is intended to give us specific pieces of information at specific times, but actually just makes the main plot more dragged out and confusing to follow.
6 Underground is one of those movies you just stop caring about and leave on in the background as you do other stuff.
There's no depth to the story or the characters, no real reason to like or dislike any of them.
The film could have easily been cut short and nothing would have been lost from the story.
:face_vomiting:
It seems like all focus has been put on the overblown action scenes so everything between feels bland and pale in comparison. There's no juice in those scenes and the film totally loses its footing.
It takes 40 minutes for the film to present its backstory and after that you still don't know the charcters, you still don't know what's going on and you have stopped caring.
How did they manage to make such a simple concept to overly complicated and uninteresting?
The Final Face: :frowning2: // Bad
Holy fuck. This was such a horrible movie.
Good story, although I can't imagine a team like this would stay unknown very long. Great action, although a bit hard to believe at times, and great scenery. Good acting for the most part.
The beginning was very chaotic. Just start the movie and go forward, the jump backs are very jolting and were totally unnecessary. That dragged my score down.
And Ryan Reynolds' constant sarcastic comments and smart ass characters are really getting old! I really liked it at first but he plays the same character ALL THE TIME! This also dragged my score down. The other actors were pretty good.
Overall, not a complete waste of time but there are better movies that cover the same basic ground.
What an absolute shitshow. Horribly shot. Horrible edited. Horrible characters. Horrible acting. Horrible plot. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
Apparently, it is possible...you can outBay Michael Bay, BUT...does it count when it's Michael Bay that does it himself?
I know that didn't make much sense, but 6 Underground is batshit insane. It starts out at an incredible pace and rarely lets up. Car chases, shootouts, explosions...and that's just the beginning.
Anyway...these kinds of action movies tend to divide people. Either you like them or you don't. I tend to mostly enjoy them, and 6 Underground is no exception. There's a lot of stuff to pick at if you want to do such things, but hell...this one was such fun that I really don't care.
If you like the over-the-top, batshit insane, action-driven type of movies. This is probably gonna blow your mind. If you don't, then do yourself a favor and stay away.
What a mess of a film!. A total waste of budget with a paper thin plot full of holes. The worst Michael Bay movie, so far.
I couldn't even make it past the opening scene before quitting. I seriously question the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this garbage, especially if you're over the age of 13.
I don't get all the negative comments. It is, what it is. Action film.. classic bay.
It's stupid, reduculous and unbelievably over-the-top with amazing music.
I loved it.
What a shitshow lmao. This is really a waste of time. Do not watch if you want a good coherent plot and good acting.
It's a nice Micheal Bay movie if you are only in for the action and not an actual plot. Kinda went too dark before the ending but worked out later on. Give it a watch if you are quarantined like me!
I would never purposely watch a movie directed by that talentless hack, Michael Bay. And, I had no idea that he'd directed this monstrosity. A few minutes in, I thought to myself, "These jump-cuts are like a goddamn music video. This director sucks!" Of course, I then proceeded to look it up, and sure enough, it's that absolute turd of a director, Michael Bay. I waited another 10 minutes or so, and this neverending car chase was still going on, and I finally turned it off at the 16-minute mark.
Bay's claim to fame was that MTV recognized his work as a music video director. M-fucking-TV. M-16 and Pregnant-TV. Being assigned praise from MTV is a sure sign that you are fucking terrible at what you do. My only question is, what is Ryan Reynolds doing slumming in this cesspool?
Got bored after 15 minutes watching it.
That was the most Michael Bay movie I’ve ever seen and I loved it lol.
Didn't expect anything different from Michael Bay tp be honest. For most of the movie, if not all, I didn't know what was happening and why, yet I was intrigued. If you like non stop action, explosions and Ryan Reynolds, you'll wanna watch this.
Dog's breakfast of a movie. However, if you love 20 minutes of smash 'em up, shoot 'em up then 5 minutes of small talk liberally peppered with Motherf@#$%^, then repeat for waaayyyy too long...you are going to love it!
Michael Bay must have flysight... Each shot barely lasts 3seconds.
The first 20 mins looks like a compilation of all the car stunts in the transformers movies before the cgi was added,feels like 3 hrs!
The only good thing about this, is getting to see Mélanie Laurent in 4k. Unfortunately it's only for a few milliseconds at a time.
Going by the amount of stunts & music used, this must be Netflix's most expensive movie ever.
most relevant things have been said about this waste of breath of a movie. purile tripe. AVOID
I was expecting something good with Ryan Reynold as the lead and written by Rhett Reese after their work on the Deadpool movies but for some reasons the story is all over the place and you can't understand what's happening and there's tons of overly big explosions that would remind you of one of those latest Michael Bay movies... oh wait, IT IS a Michael Bay movie
BTW, that magnetic boat thingy is totally non-sense
At least the soundtrack is good, but that might be because I love The Score (that's the band's name) which is heavily featured through the movie.
"It's so over-the-top that it's oddly dull."
It was a complete mess! But I loved just about every second of it.
One of the worst movie I've ever seen
What has the editor smoked ?, Script / Coherence? Sets of scenes of scenes mounted together, between shootings, flying cars and explosions, it seems that they are trying to find something
Such a waste of time, couldn't finish it.
The action and special effects were mostly enjoyable and some of it quite impressive really. The story and the characters, by contrast, were nothing of interest. To be honest, the film was quite a mess, but overall it was well worth a watch and I even enjoyed it, at least a little.
AWFUL! No Drama, no interesting Stories. Give me back 2 hours of my life!
Like others have said, the film is a flat out mess. They like to jump back and forth into the past to introduce characters and such, but it ruins the rhythm so much. I think they would've better off to just do a straightforward approach. Also, it seems way too long for the type of movie it is
Good Movie, enjoyed it
The Problem is,that there is a lot of Filming mistakes
Over the top action. Like come on, let me grab the storyline first. Oops, forgot, there is no story line. Just ACTION. Cars chasing, rappling, gunfire and yes, flying dead bodies.
If you just wanna enjoy some plain action, here you go. But if you're even looking for a little bit of storyline, sorry mate, this movie is not for you.
I don't think I have to tell you that this is just mindless entertainment, watch if that is what you are looking for and don't complain if it's not a smart and thought provoking movie.
Not my type of movie, a lot of explosions and bland plot. Ryan Reynolds "funny" comments every 3 minutes are very cringeworthy. Also, why didn't they show Number 5 backstory?
This may be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's a like an Andy Sidaris film only without the tits.
Someone made a choice here:
[ ] Action movie
[√] Action movie (simplified)
Action scenes were great. I think Michael Bay really killed some people in a few of them, lol. I mostly enjoyed the movie but the pace and lack of explanations felt like I was watching a movie pilot for a tv series.
Just to add.
The story line gets a little confusing, but action all the way through.
Okay, there's so much blatant product placement in this movie I HAVE TO BELIEVE it's satire or something. I mean, good lord. It feels a little like Deadpool in its over-the-top-ness, but not in a good way. Like, trying to be funny like said movie, but not quite getting there…
Soundtrack is nice though, and I do enjoy some mindless entertainment from time to time, so… will probably finish watching it.
(OKAY, nooooow I get why it reminded me of Deadpool :P)
I really REALLY liked it! was an amazing hot mess!
For a post 2000 Michael Bay movie it wasn’t bad. CGI was still apparent but at least not overly dominating. The story was Deadpool without Deadpool. Which shouldn’t surprise considering that the two writers wrote the Deadpool movies.
It’s entertaining, but nothing really great either. Would it have been better on the big screen? Maybe, though the big screen wouldn’t really have been covering up the story shortcomings either.
On the plus side, it's an enjoyable enough movie with some good action. On then negative side, the story is a bit all over the place and the dialogue is dumb. Could have been the start of a new franchise, but I don't think it's good enough to warrant that.
The only reason I watched this movie is because of the Storror group. They are a YouTube parkour group that helped work on the parkour stunts in this movie. And those scenes are really the only thing worth talking about in this movie. Everything else in between is either bad, boring or forgettable. Mostly all three combined. If you want to see some cool parkour stuff just save yourself the time and watch some YouTube videos because this ain't worth it.
There are other mindless action movies out there that are actually worth it and good. This is just laughably bad
Chaotic movie with more emphasis on rolling cars than explaining what is going on. Scrolling through time back and forth didn't work for this movie.
Imagine this going on for another 10 movies because they just cleared 1 bad guy out of 11...
Did they actually had the idea they could make a series out of it?
Definitely not the greatest movie ever made, but if you want some nice action with a pinch of comedy this is worth a watch. Just don't expect too much from the story.
Bloody lovely! Action from the get go. Explosions, blood splatters, crashes. Lots of humour. Great soundtrack. Super performances from Ryan Reynolds and Ben Hardy. Enjoyed from start to finish.
60% :grimacing:
Positives:
I absolutely loved the beginning of the movie. The car chase set the pace of the whole movie. Ryan Reynolds has never let me down and he didn’t let me down in this one either. This movie from start to finish has Michael Bay written all over it. The acting was fairly strong and I loved all the gadgets that were used.
Negatives:
If you like a story driven movie then this is not for you. When you have Michael Bay as the director you instantly are sacrificing a real plot for action through the whole thing. The humor sometimes falls a little flat and sometimes the jokes weren’t as funny as intended. Also, the fight scenes were very predictable except for a couple.
Overall:
The film is good. It’s not the best action flick I’ve ever seen but it was a very easy watch. If you are ever in a mood to just watch a movie and not think then this movie is perfect for you.
Entertaining if you don't think about it too much, or have it on in the background
it was a very good film. a mixture of fast and the furious and deadpool. the camera work is the same as with Bad Boys 2. It's just a Michael Bay film.
dont watch for the story, watch for the car chasing and its pretty naisu
watched it twice, and enjoyed it in both times so i don't get why the too much negative reviews ! it was funny and fun, story not too perfect true yet still follows a right path
This makes the worst films I’ve ever seen look like masterpieces. Unbelievable.
Total mess, at least the locations aré Spectacular.
Think Austin Powers, but Michael Bay. That’s this movie. The acting, script and dialogue are just not fantastic, but the entertainment value is 10/10.
I’d also like to add that the opening car chase scene is top notch. Fantastic stunt driver and directing.
Almost 20min of straight action in Michael Bay's style in the beginning! That was epic! The story itself is just like any other action movie - regular - but the difference is these are no regular action scenes, these are Michael Bay's action scene, with explosions, blood, tension, camera action, stunts, and so much more. So it's an 8 for that.
no one does action better than Michael bay.
Fans of full-blown extermination, where the plot is only an insignificant background, will be pleased. ;)
Frikin' awesome Michael Bay movie. Non-stop action with a great cast shot in beautiful international locations.
Pacing issues, other than that, perfectly fine Bayhem movie.
Gave it a 7 but really the first half of the movie is a 4 and the last half is a 7....so confusing until the halfway point.
i have no words, this is amazing, i would kill to watch this for the first time again !
My Favorite Netflix Films Of All-Time!!!!
It seams Michael Bay can really make ok movies and not just over the top cartoon like Transformer movies :)
Really loved the cast and all the funny lines.
Bottom line : very ok action flick as long as you don't take it too seriously!
People want to dump on this movie because the interwebs told them they should hate Michael Bay movies. Well this flick is a textbook case of MB saying "screw em' all", and going bigger, Faster, LOUDER, with more CPM (Carnage Per Minute) than ALL Michael Bay movies put together!!!! Hell, the opening sequence alone destroyed ALL BUT ONE of the SEVEN lime green Alfa Romeo Hero cars, and is a mind bending 20 minute ballet of practical auto carnage, well worth the price of admission on it's own:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqXqQeNhytw
Add to that a fairly unknown but IMO stellar, cast headed by quip-master Ryan Reynolds and the likes of Corey Hawkins, Dave Franco, Ben "Skywalker" Hardy, and even a well spoken, but sinister bad guy (Lior Raz) and, Boys and girls, it's a gearhead, action adventure extravaganza.
Set up at the end for a possible sequel, or even a franchise (we can only hope), cuz, this has more storyline and potential than that Vin Diesel franchise, even before Paul Walkers untimely demise, and, STILL they've made NINE of those!
So lay on Michael Bay, and be damned those who first cry, hold enough".....
I've watched a few 100 movies and I'm starting to understand now why character development is so important. This movie had none of it. Michael Bay as usual tries to impress for a full 90 minutes with over the top action and character arcs that pay off in mere 5 to 10 minutes.
5 barely got screen time and didn't get any sort of backstory unlike the rest of her crew.
3 was the best thing about this movie and if I ever watched again it'd only be for his lines.
I wish Badboys 3 looked like this! Michael Bay can give the film what I expect from it. And I'll get it! And he doesn't lose it after the second look. I hope to see a sequel soon.
And just on the sidelines to those reviews and negative comments. It is simple. If I watch a movie from Michael Bay, I'm expecting a movie from Michael Bay. When I want to go to football, I don't go to hockey. If I want coffee, I don't buy Coke. When I want KFC, I don't go to McDonalds. Simple! The rest of us will have a delicious portion of Bay and add explosive fries!
It’s the day after I watched this movie and I feel really hung over and I wasn’t drinking last night. Honestly, I think I’d love any movie with Ryan Reynolds so I’m probably not the best judge but that was a unique, wild ride. Full of action, characters were fun and music was awesome. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
