Challengers 2024 film

Whew.
I REALLY liked this movie
I’m not even a tennis fan, but the tennis in the movie is intense and the score/music that plays is like this EDM/house mix that had the walls of the theater bumping. It really heightened the tennis scenes
Trent reznor and Atticus Ross did the score so you know it’s great.
Zendaya is really good in it and at times looks amazing
The movie is framed sort of like “ for love of the game” as the final match is underway and it keeps cutting to flashbacks throughout filling the story in.
Yes the 2 guys makeout for a few seconds .
But otherwise it’s a good watch. I highly recommend checking this out

It’s worth a ticket price. It’s 2 hours 10 minutes and I don’t think I looked down at my phone one single time. It’s paced perfectly. I was never bored with it or not paying attention bc of it dragging along like most films
The camera work in it is just amazing.

Wasn’t sure why it was in Imax when I saw it but then it made sense with the Reznor score, which was definitely the best part of the movie
Surprisingly good tennis movie with some really fun scenes and kept me intrigued the whole way. Didn’t really know how it was going to end and enjoyed some of the ways they decided to give background and tell the story
On that same point tho, I get they were doing the whole structure to feel like a tennis match with the back and forth story telling and shifting quicker cuts to match how the the big tennis matches go (very rapid at the end)- but it got a little exhausting when they kept cutting back and forth so late into the film. Just total whiplash at some point, I would’ve took a few of those out. Think I let out an audible “again??” When they did the one back to Atlanta, and there was still like 2-4 after that
Also the random decision at the end to go full POV/shakey came with the tennis ball was a big swing and a miss for me. Just felt disorienting and random and didn’t really have a cool visual effect like you’d think.
Zendayas character might be one of the straight up evil characters of all time
Then again all the characters in this are really awful people driven by selfish desires, she just really takes that to a new level. You end up rooting for the poor tennis player despite him also making pretty much every off putting decision you could and being an overall terrible person himself. But it weirdly makes the move work and interesting
3.5/5 for me

The first trailer they put out is one of the best trailers in recent memory. Luca + Reznor so you knew it was gonna be a banger. Prob go see it this weekend.

Just got out. I enjoyed it. Idk about the ending though. I was hoping both the dudes would together give a big “frick you” to Zendaya somehow at the end. Also, a tie breaker in tennis is first to 7 so that point at the end they hugged over was just the first point, not the match lol
I knew he was going to end up doing Art’s serve at the end to tell him he fricked his wife. Could see it coming a mile away lol
