Why Guy Ritchie Should Stick To Gangster Movies

Guy Ritchie's first two movies Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels put the director on the map in the gangster film genre. Though Guy Ritchie's next run of films, mostly from major studios, would not live up to his original outings. Aladdin, King Arthur, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E, we're all panned by critics. Until he rediscovered his roots with The Gentleman, proving that maybe Guy Ritchie should just stick to gangster movies.

I totally disagree : Guy Ritchie doesn't need to stick to just making British gangster movies.

He just needs to find creative ways to incorporate his unique style into different style of movies.

The Gentleman was easily one of my favorite theater experiences of that year. Such a good return to form film.

Idk man… Sherlock homes was really good. If he made a third I would love it.

people didn’t like Man From UNCLE? I’ve rewatched that movie at least 5 times and I’ve thought it was a blast every time. Solid 8/10. Maybe I need to take a look at it again, but I remember the script being well done too.

I appreciate Ritchie's ability to bounce back as a big name director, even after experiencing disappointments and criticisms. Also, it feels like the man has made use of that sweet sweet Disney money from Aladdin to finance whatever kind of movie he wants.

I think Man from UNCLE, The Gentlemen, and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre carry on a lot of the tone and style that made Lock, Stock and Snatch so enjoyable to me.

I'd love to see Brad Pitt in a Guy Ritchie Movie again. I think this was the crucial ingredient that made Snatch stand out from his similar movies.

Guy Ritchie seems to have the best “one for you, one for me” handshake deal with Disney at the moment.

Man from U.N.C.L.E. is by far one of the most stylish action flicks ever made, while I had to force myself to stay awake during H8ful Eight.
Guy has a rare gift : he makes some-what simple story-lines look exciting. That's Talent.

Snatch, The Gentlemen, and Wrath of Man are all fantastic to me!! This is where Guy Ritchie really succeeds in his greatness, imo. I hope he makes more movies like those.

I love the King Arthur movie. I watch it all the time. Same with the Sherlock movies. I think his style works just fine outside of gangster movies. His style works best with gangster movies, but i think it translates well to others.
I think he'd make an amazing Robin Hood movie, if given the chance.

Guy Ritchie’s “The Covenant” about a soldier and an interpreter in the War in Afghanistan was great.

[eyeofodin]

Man, I loved every single movie mentioned except swept away. I'm a HUGE Guy Ritchie fan and honestly, I'll show up for whatever he decides to direct. In my mind, the dude doesn't miss. Even if everything is of the same quality, I've never came out of one of his movies thinking that I wasted my money.

[maltesharalikatti]

His Sherlok Holmes movies just blew me away. His style of direction we'll suited the movies & I'm still waiting for the third one. That's a genre too that He's really quite good.

The fact that people will complain about King Arthur having CGI villains, and then proceed to watch a marvel film just shows you the level of intelligence we have in the 21st-century.

[atomsofstardust]

Snatch is still one of my favorite film, such an amazing dialogue and pacing! Gentlemen was a really great return to what Ritchie’s doing best, so I enjoyed that movie a lot too.👏🏻

Frankly, I’d love if he embraced being that “one trick pony”, because his gangster movies are great, and almost no one is doing anything similar (and similarly good) anymore, which is a bit of a shame.

But, honestly, he should do whatever he wants, as long as once in a while he delivers another Gentlemen or something similar for old time fans😅

I really enjoyed The Man from UNCLE and would love to see a sequel, it's a shame I'm in the minority on that one :<

[TimatoSaus]

This is so insulting to an artist. Saying that the mob movies are his best is fair and valid opinions/criticism but telling an artist to not push boundaries and try new things feels extremely disrespectful

[Zombiesnyder]

He was the only reason why I went to see ALADDIN

[danieldominguez]

The Man from UNCLE is a good movie and I still want a sequel. idgaf what Tarentino says and I love all 9 of his movies

[hamoiq]

Tbf I think he did well with the man from uncle. But yeah his gangster movies are unmatched imo
