I found myself getting more and more absorbed by it as it moved along. It's a movie that I'm really having a difficult time comparing to anything else I've seen, and it's not really a movie I would go around recommending to people because I can't really put my finger on exactly why I ended up enjoying it as much as I did or what type of movie fan would like it. I will say that I'm not surprised that some hate it, though. i think it'll probably be one of those movies where a lot of people think it's absolutely brilliant/a masterpiece while a lot of others think it's trash (and I think the same might be true of Gosling's performance in it.) I'm not firmly in either camp, but I'm definitely more toward like than dislike.

So what's up with the hate on Drive? 93% from critics and 88% from movie goers on Rotten Tomatoes Juiced Sep 17, 06:32

Rottentomatoes isn't really the average moviegoer. It's more in line with IMDB users, the type that would fall in line with critics {nm} HarryWarden Sep 17, 06:35

You gotta see it again... trust me. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 17, 07:02

I'll likely do that when it comes out on DVD or HBO. {nm} Ruthian23 Sep 17, 07:05

I never considered IMDB as a source to fall in line with critics... SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:06

To be honest... Drive is the best movie of this year. {nm} bapi Sep 17, 07:10

Looks to me judging by the comments that the film embraces the current trend of foreign "slow cinema" mixed with graphic brutality... SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:15

Maybe it's just the right type of fresh air the box office needs. {nm} SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:19

Because it's a pretentious mess (spoilers), if the entire movie was like the first heist it would have been great ceregon Sep 17, 07:21

Writing "spoiler alert" in the heading of your post might've been nice (not that I was going to see it anyway, but still...) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 08:14

He said spoilers, but I read it on accident anyway. Fcuk! Still going to see it anyway, sounds even more intriguing now. {nm} SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 08:21

Comments like this are why I hardly post here anymore. Thanks for reminding me. {nm} ceregon Sep 17, 08:51

I missed it when I read it. I'm sorry. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 11:05

so I guess when he said (spoilers) he should have spelled it out for you....oh.... {nm} Anniebecca Sep 17, 09:06

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 11:06
