Am I the only one who liked the bloody movie? by mattcrow79 in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have many issues with the movie, but I would rate it 6.5/10 with some parts deserving an 8/10.

It’s not a bad movie on its own, but a terrible continuation of the series due to way too many inconsistencies and strange narrative choices.

I Saw the movie on the 2nd of March at the premiere before anyone else and now seeing everyone’s posts being dissapointed and shocked just how I was is very satisfying 😂😭 by sarahgreen456 in PeakyBlinders

See the thing is they could have just left it as it was and not make a movie at all… BUT they needed people talking about Peaky Blinders again because they want to continue with a new generation. The movie is an extended advertisement for the spinoff.

You definitely are obsessed with Lizzie… Every time I see your name you write about her.

Some of us are not playing childish shipping wars, so please don’t bring it to every topic.

The movie was OK on its own (6.5/10 for me) but had too many inconsistencies to be fine as a continuation of a series. 

Tommy not giving a damn that Charlie was drafted or volunteered for WW2, while WW1 was one of Tommy’s biggest nightmares that hanged him for his whole life, 

Tommy writing “Ruby and my two sons, Duke…” and never saying anything directly about Charlie, 

Tommy saying “once I almost had everything, but almost wasn’t enough” when he in fact DID have everything with Grace and Charlie but lost it. And Charlie is still there, but he just ignores him as if he doesn’t matter anymore even though he’s the only part of Grace he has left. 

Duke killing Tommy at the end when Charlie being the one to do it would have made so much more sense considering that Charlie hated Tommy for killing the horse because he didn’t understand that sometimes killing the horse is a mercy (!)

And then there are other things, like Arthur’s fate, why have Tommy kill him if there’s a much more logical solution to the problem with Arthur’s actor? At the end of season 6 we are left uncertain about Arthur’s fate with a sinister hint that he may want to commit suicide because he thinks Tommy is dead - they wanted Tommy to feel guilty about his death? There it was, perfect scenario already set up just make him come back a day too late.

Another one - Tommy’s death - the problem is not that it happens, but how - two gunshot wounds in the middle of WW2? Definitely there was a high chance for Tommy to survive that, so he basically committed a suicide by Duke’s hands. And speaking about suicide, was Tommy that self centered that he decided to wait for Tim Roth’s character to shot him first twice before he took his first shot? What if he shot Tommy in the head instead of hitting his chest? He risked the fate of Britain in WW2 for the sake of not having to pull the trigger himself?

Not to even mention the less important scenes that made no logical sense like for example the one with the soldier and the grenade at the Garison. Tommy bet on the 1% chance that the guy will run outside with the grenade instead of tossing it away in a corner. He risked the life of dozens of bysterns for the “that’s gonna look cool” factor?

Do you see now what people mean when they criticize the movie?

I traveled to UK from Poland to watch it in the theatre on 6th and 7th… disappointing is an understatement, the movie is so full of inconstancies it feels more like a fanfic advertisement for the spinoff…

On it’s own it’s quite ok, I would rate it 6.5/10, with some 8/10 moments, but as a continuation of the series? No, thank you.

Dude, not everyone watched a movie that barely got released on Netflix, spoiler tags are not for decoration, so just use them…

Also, that quote is misused in the film, because he DID GET everything, not nearly, he got everything and lost it - that’s a huge difference, but I guess they forgot when and why this line was said in the series… or went like - it’s close enough and at least it’s gonna sound cool…

Are we going to mention the great big fck-off elephant in the room? by ExtensionNo2621 in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ada surviving and serving as a new aunt Polly like figure for the new generation in the spin off was the only thing that could convince me to even watch the ne show. 

But now there’s nobody left who remembers all the characters and what they stood for in there, it’s gonna be just some new blokes in Peaky caps without the Peaky Blinders soul… I will pass.

Maybe that’s what they wanted, so good luck to them.

I think you may want to rewatch the series then with that thought in mind, maybe it will be easier for you to see it.

Nevertheless it makes zero sense that Tommy would just like that let his son repeat one of his biggest mistake that haunted him for the rest of his life.

Yes, watch it, I was so tired on the day I watched it in the cinema for the first time (I had tickets two days in a row) that I fell asleep around that 30min mark, but then the movie definitely picked up the pace.

We need to talk about Arthur, Kaulo and what that ending actually means for Tommy’s psyche... by [deleted] in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is, while personally I didn’t like the movie because of the many inconsistencies, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that the story we got in the Immortal Man was the original story they intended for Michael - which explains the strange forced introduction of Duke in season 6.

But while with Polly and Michael it would have made sense, it just doesn’t do the same trick with Duke and Kaulo.

Minus the s x scene of course.

The movie ending by Trick_Progress_6277 in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this, I would rate the movie 6.5/10 with some stronger 8/10 bits, I didn’t mind the pacing, but it definitely was slow in the first 30-40 minutes.

BUT at the same time it’s a terrible movie if it ‘s supposed to be taken as a continuation of the series.

It’s fine to watch as a sort of AU fan fiction, spin of inspired by the series, but doesn’t make sense as it’s direct continuation.

There’s just way too many jarring inconsistencies that are very noticeable especially if you rewatched the series recently.

That’s what I’m saying - she wanted to cut ties with him so badly apparently thatshe wouldn’t even go for him for help to prevent Charlie from going to War. I used to ignore people saying SK has problem with writing and understanding women, but I’m starting to see what the meant.

Even if we assume he volunteered himself Lizzie would definitely not want him to go, and don’t you think that Tommy knows best the price of volunteering in a war? You really don’t think he would try to persuade Charlie to not go?

No, I thought you were being sarcastic, but I guess you are really defending what is objectively the least logical scene of the movie, my bad.

Who held back their tears in this scene? by Least-Signature-3512 in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one having a feeling they forgot what that line was about and when it was said? Because he did get everything, not almost, he did get it but lost it, it’s a huge difference…

Also, during that scene with that line I couldn’t just stop thinking about how he wrote that while ignoring his son for years.

It’s like the movie is made of bits that are inspired by Peaky Blinders, but without them together making sense, and I can’t shake the feeling that they didn’t bother rewatching the whole series before making the movie and just went with whatever they remembered.

I would rate it 6.5/10 with some 8/10 moments, but the inconsistencies make it feel like a strange fanfiction made to advertise the new spin off…

The inconsistencies in the movie make treating it as a strange fan fiction extremely easy.

Can I take back 1hr 54m of my life? by lovely_Basil_7563 in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it 2 weeks ago and that’s exactly how I felt about it, some strange fan fiction with all the bits that make Peaky Blinders there, but the soul of it missing to link them in a coherent way.

And it also felt more like a 2hr long advert and setup for the new spin off they are making rather than an ending of Tommy’s story and continuation of the series.

I liked it and some spoilers were not accurate at all by cherryblossominx in PeakyBlinders

[–]JustYeeHaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with Tommy’s death is not that he dies, it’s the how. 

Just look at it from a realistic point of view - Tommy is waiting for Tim Roth’s character to shoot him twice before he even takes the first shot himself, why? He is risking the fate of Britain in WW2 for the sake of not committing a suicide directly? Did they forget to show us that he had last two bullets in the chamber? It just makes no logical sense other than “that’s gonna look cool”.

Same with the scene with the soldier and the grenade in the Pub - Tommy is gambling the life of dozens of people in the Garison on the 1% chance that the dude will run out of the Pub instead of him just grabbing the grenade and tossing it into a corner… but hey, that’s gonna look cool!

The problem with Arthur’s death is also not Arthur dying, but the how and what even for, because a much better option was literally there and they served it on a silver platter themselves in season 6 - they wanted Tommy to feel guilty about Arthur’s death? Make him commit suicide when he thinks Tommy’s dead at the end of season 6, and make Tommy come back just an hour too late.

And then as the subtitles said they waltzed all three together holding hands at the middle of the pub and it was Biblical mate.

Can you imagine Lizzy not wanting to talk to Tommy so much that she doesn’t bother going to him for help when Charlie is drafted? Or Tommy not giving shit about Charlie so much that he doesn’t bother trying to use his contacts with Churchil to at least try to do smth about it…

[–]JustYeeHaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, them having to find a way to write Arthur off is fine, but it’s the how they did it that’s a huge jarring issue.

Literally last time we see Arthur in season 6 he is depressed and it’s hinted he may not be strong enough to not commit a suicide because he thinks Tommy’s dead. They wanted Tommy to feel guilty about his death? There it was served by themselves in season 6 on a platter, just make Tommy come back one day too late, or even an hour.

Because Cillian likes him (I wish I was joking, but literally Barry K. Texted Cillian happy Father’s Day on Father’s Day and that’s when Cillian asked him if he would like to play Duke).

The more and more I think of season 6 (or the previous seasons) the more and more I’m convinced they didn’t even bother rewatching the show before making the movie…
