Just watched the trailer. It looks ACE!
Yes it does
Mads!
Yup seen the trailer last week looks pretty good, not sure if they killed his dog or not.
That looks like a Sat. night winner !

Funny you should say that.. (not a spoiler!).
I enjoyed it, dark sense of humour needed
Yes. Excellent stuff.
Yes
I've been watching it in stages since this afternoon, it's very good indeed.
Time to watch the end.
Finished it now.
One of the best films I've seen in ages.
was alright.
thought the bits with mads in were great . the bits without him were just shit !
I loved it, comically funny. Matt Lucas’s “ oh shit “ which was a repeated theme made me laugh. Refreshingly different and Over the top.
Matt Lucas was brilliant his character being the polar opposite of Polar.
Just waiting for the missus to finish watching a programme before we put this film on. Looks great.
I loved it, comically funny.
I assume it gets funnier, 45 mins in it's not got the 6 laughs in yet.
So far I'm going with a mix up of the outtakes from Fargo and Kill Bill
Watched it earlier as it was heavily pushed on Netflix (no surprise there) but I have to say I'm going more with The Guardian review of it:
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/24/polar-review-netflix-mads-mikkelsen
It gets similarly panned elsewhere.

And the ending was just shit. Like "we've totally run out of ideas" shit.
Roma for a red wine thoughtful night.
Polar for OMG that's just for the hell, can I get funding for this satire.
Light needs darkness.
Both IMO Ace.
That Guardian review what the hell was he expecting from a film based on a dark comic book about an assassin?

No idea, I wasn't expecting a bad Little Britain meets John Wick, there were 2 films in there neither should have met.
Matt Lucas was completely out of place in there.
And really the over use of the what should we do now? TITS TITS TITS, hang on not sure STRIP CLUB, ASS, STRIP CLUB
It’s the kind of movie that includes not one, but four closeups of a corpse’s erection. If this all sounds good to you, well, it’s just a click away.
And I laughed more at the Guardians closing line than I did the film
Looks like someone didn't understand Sindy's job.
What? To set up the protracted kill shot while getting her baps out?
Yup "Time for a blow"
Yep, still not seeing the point.... maybe if you were heavily invested in the comics it might make more sense, or it might be a recurring in joke.
As a stand alone film it is just all over the place though
She gave them errrr a bit of a send but not exactly with a happy ending.
see, it's not like that wasn't obvious, just not that funny, well just not funny and at a complete polar (See what I did there it's a HILARIOUS joke) opposite to the tone of the film with Mads in it.
The execution of the tenants was in a different tone to where the film was, the end was something in another direction altogether but the flash backs never really did their job.
If you feel the need to explain any of the other jokes go ahead....
I did laugh more watching this

It was an ok way to spend Saturday afternoon lazing on the sofa.

It wasn't a joke.
Worst film I've ever seen. Lead actor was good but I wish I had that bit of my life back
There's a degree of responsibility when recommending something on a mtb forum, whether it be a component which we rely upon for safety riding down a hill or a film that we watch with our eyeballs, expending a portion of our lifespan. This film is very poor by any standard. Netflicks can f off, utter rubbish, lowest common denominator bs.
Apart from Rick & Morty.
It wasn’t a joke.
OK so now I'm truly confused, that wasn't in as a joke? Just to check was this a DC comic? I think I'd possibly rather watch Batman vs Supernan again and that is saying something!!
Well there's two hours I won't get back. Why was it called Polar again?
12% on rottentomatoes.com, think I'll pass.
.
Jesus. What a mess. It's like they didn't know what style of film they wanted to make so just went for a bit of each.
Would have been so much better without the 'zany assassins' aesthetic lifted straight from Smoking Aces (because that was truely shit).
However, I did enjoy it on some level. It would appear Mads Mikkelsen can carry a film.
Well I actually thought it was pretty good to be fair.
Alright by me, why was anyone expecting hibrow?
One Q, why was Matt Lucas dressed up as John Lydon?
Anything with Mads is is going to be good. Add Lagatha, Jonny Knox and Matt Lucas into the mix and it can't fail.
Seriously puzzled about what was not to like. Action scenes not as awe inspiring as Mr Wick but a whole lot more laughs.

I didn't laugh, not even at Matt Lucas
The answer was not really

Having been spoilt by some of the better marvel stuff I wasn't expecting high brow but at least something that made some kind of sense. If you are going to do gore/death at lease make it for a reason or funny, you can't flip between comic book gore/death/stupidity and serious Mads having a moment in the same film.
Started promisingly, ran out of ideas pretty quick. Action scenes from the halfway point onwards were just boring, frankly.
^^^ The fist laser was uninspired and boring???
The only Marvel I've been able to sit through to the end was Deadpool 1. Each to his own I guess.

I see. Think I missed those 🤷
It was a bit like someone picked some excellent tasty ingredients , threw them in a bowl & microwaved them for 8 mins.
It was edible but not good , 5/10
Looks like they put every good set piece into an overlong trailer. No need to bother watching it now. Jason Statham must have busy and Mads close by when they found out 😂
