Baby Driver (86 Metacritic - 97% RT)

I may be able to watch it tommorow or Friday, because there are pre-screenings in the theater's nearby. If I'm able to see it, I'll post a short review/my opinion afterwards.

Just came back from watching it and yes it's as amazing as the critics say it is. The way it uses the music is just so great. It's so different from all the other movies, but it isn't artsy in a way that only the critics will like it: this is a movie for everyone. I went with someone who is really hard to please when it comes to movies, but I just knew he would love this. And I was right, I never saw him as excited about a movie as he was about this one. It's just so much fun to watch, but it's also serious when it needs to be and it has very intruiging characters. But I'll be honest, the core of the movie is its music. I think this is the second time I say it, but the music works so well. If I wasn't in the theaters I would sing with the songs. Even though it's completely different, it reminds me a bit of Fury Road in the way that it makes you want to punch your fist and the air and cheer during the movie. In reality I think it's more a mixture of La La Land and Grand Theft Auto (it's definitely not a musical btw). Go see this movie. I don't want to overhype anyone, but I'll make a bold statement and say this is my favorite Edgar Wright movie. I'll be shocked if this doesn't appear on many 'Best of the Year' lists in December, at least I already know it'll be on mine. This post is way longer than I wanted it to be, but I can't stop talking about it. I'd watch it again right now if I could. Has anyone else seen it already and what do you think of it?

Just checked again and its at 84/100 on Metacritic now (15 reviews) and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with an 8.5 average and 33 reviews.
I really hope the general public notices Baby Driver, because I'm afraid it won't get enough attention as many other summer movies.

Still can't stop thinking about it, so I decided to read some reviews. Here are a few of the reviews, if anyone is interested.

Empire - "An awe-inspiring piece of filmmaking from Edgar Wright that plays out as a musical through the lens of an action thriller. Sweet, funny and utterly original — you won’t see a film like it this year." - 5/5

Collider - "Wright is hanging his hat on music, practical stunts, and sound design (a side note: if Baby Driver doesn’t get nominated for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing, those Oscar categories are meaningless). It’s a personal vision realized through music and sheer personality." - A-

Monkeysfightingrobots - "In an era in which Transformers: The Last Knight exists, it gives me hope that directors like Wright are breathing originality into a world filled with sequels, reboots, and superhero films. Baby Driver not only is one of the best releases of the summer movie season, but it is also one of the best of films of the year period."

LRM Online - "The acting, dialogue, action, style, and, of course, music are as good as you can get, making Baby Driver the must-see film of the summer!" - A

Silverscreenbeat - "The film is as innocent and as bleak as they come. It does not shatter the world or come across as some grand work of fine art. Rather, Baby Driver is a pop masterpiece: heartfelt and wickedly cool – all surface, all pleasure."

Vulture - "As he proves yet again in his thrillingly syncopated heist movie Baby Driver, the 43-year-old U.K.-born Edgar Wright is just about the perfect 21st-century genre director."

The only mixed/negative review I could find was from DigitalSpy - "Baby Driver is certainly an entertaining ride but when you pop the hood there's not much under its shiny surface." - 3/5
