What do you think about Martin McDonagh's films?

>Six Shooter
>In Bruges
>Seven Psychopaths
>Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Bonus: he thinks theater sucks and that film is the superior art form even though he used to be a successful playwright (first person since Shakespeare to have 4 plays on London's West End at the same time)

mamet is better

Do you have a source for this?

Six shooter was overrated. Loved everything else but I need to re-watch seven psychopaths.

Guy Ritchie with Dunning Kruger for the reddit crowd, big yikes from me

Worthless

In Bruges is one of my favourite films, though I wish I never read the script for the intended ending that was cut out. Takes the film from an 8/10 to a 7.5/10 with that knowledge.

His other movies are crap.

>Guy Ritchie
They're not comparable

HE'S an inanimate fucking object!

In Bruges is kino. The rest are a bit pretentious, but still good.

Seven Psycopaths was good

What was the original ending?

Exactly the same film. But one additional scene where Fleur is calling him. She can be heard leaving him a message whilst he is sat in a room somewhere. He puts a gun to his head and he either commits suicide there, on it is heavily implied.

That's it. No redemption, just a shitty bummer ending. The ambiguity of his life or death seems like a fluke last minute decision that saved the film in retrospect.

Jesus, that's a first year film student tier ending. Thank God he changed it.

>>Seven Psychopaths
The worst movie i have ever watched and i've watched everything.

Bump

I couldn't watch In Bruges, Colin Farrell is intolerably bad as an actor. I mean he's so bad he makes Andy Garcia look good.

In Bruges is one of my favorites, and Three Billboards was quite good. I haven’t seen the rest, so I can’t judge.

I think Seven Psychopaths is a bit of a shaggy dog story overall but has some scenes that are absolute gold. Three Billboards was enjoyable but probably the least tightly written of his films to date, but Sam Rockwell was brilliant as always and I'm curious to see what he does next, one of the more interesting directors working in the mainstream today. In Bruges is a certified classic and one of the most chilling morality plays in English-speaking cinema IMO. Gets better each time I watch it.

>In Bruges
If he is responsible for that crap then I think he should be run over by a car. The world doesn't need any more of his works.

Sam Rockwell is a treasure. I hope he's remembered in 50 years time as one of the greats.

never seen any of his movies, is Seven Psychopaths a good one to begin with?

It's considered the lesser of his three feature films overall (Six Shooter is a short) but has some of his best dialogue, and Rockwell and Walken both deliver stand-out performances. Think Charlie Kaufman's "Adaptation" via a more self-aware and self-effacing Tarantino. Colin Farrell's character is implied to be a stand-in for Martin McDonagh himself, and the film an allegory for his own inner conflict at that point in his career post-In Bruges as a very non-violent man who feels obliged by his own curiosity about human nature (as well as his audience) to write very violent movies.

In Bruges, please

Sexy Beast is better tho

thanks

One of the worst directors in history, seriously.
