The Fall Guy Ratings & Reviews
- Thomas ChludzinskiFebruary 28, 2025I did not expect to love this film as much as I did. The writing is really tightly written and the actors have great chemistry. Such an amazing popcorn flic for a Friday night in
- rg9400November 1, 2024An aggressively mediocre movie. I think Ryan Gosling is a lot of fun, but him and Emily Blunt lack a lot of chemistry, so their romance isn't very engaging. The humor is a bit hit or miss. It did elicit laughs from me, but a lot less than I was expecting. The movie also struggles with pacing, with it being surprisingly slower than expected, and the core mystery/intrigue being very predictable and bland. I get that's not the main focus of this movie, but considering the slower pacing and the limited impact of the romance and comedy, you'd hope the plot could carry the movie more. The cinematography was pretty good at times though, including a cool meta scene involving split screens. I also do appreciate the focus on stunt people. However, the movie is still extremely disposable and carried solely by Ryan Gosling in most places. I think if you appreciated some of David Leitch's prior movies such as Bullet Train and Deadpool 2, you might appreciate this one more than I did since I found those equally bland and mediocre.
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024The Fall Guy is a love letter written for the stunt community and reveals another dimension of movies to discover. So much so that when we rewatch old favorites, it will be like seeing them anew. I know I’ll be asking, "How in the hell did they pull that off?" and "Come on, man, Ryan Gosling didn't jump on to a helicopter after driving off a ramp."
- MrterrytoyouFebruary 3, 2025Great movie, loved the action! Huge Tropic Thunder vibes, which I liked! that being said I also think that’s what made it 4 stars instead of 5 for me. Actually if you think about it, it is Tropic Thunder… the love story between Jack blacks character and the heroin. The love story of Simple Jack and the guerilla fighters that made the heroin. So many similarities… Still pretty fun movie!
- CharlotteCOSMICApril 6, 2026Epic movie with an epic soundtrack.
- Spencer MBMarch 19, 2026*Watched the "Extended Cut" I enjoyed this the first time I watched it, which was also the extended cut, but this second time was pretty... meh. I couldn't agree less with everyone else about the weird chemistry between Gosling and Blunt, she could've been played by anyone else and the results would've been mostly positive. Basically everything before the 1.75 hour mark is pretty good and fun, but then act three shows up and it becomes very rough outside the action, which is consistently good. TLDR: First half is fun narratively, second half is mid. Action is good the whole time.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025The plot is twisty in the most predictable and boring way and yet despite that this movie won me over pretty much on the chemistry of Gosling and Blunt and the absolute batshit crazy stunts alone. This is another film where you pretty much need to walk into the theater with your mind turned off and ready to chomp on some popcorn and have your adrenaline sporadically boosted. This is a summer blockbuster.
- Ray HopkinDecember 26, 2024I loved this, dumb, stupid fun time! I remember watching the original series back when I was a kid, I remember the theme song! This definitely captured the vibe of the series, as a goofy good time.
- DenimbeardMarch 18, 2026A proper love letter to filmmaking.
- ChriskdxFebruary 15, 2026Absolutely loved this movie!! Start to finish. The stunts were amazing and I really enjoyed the witty dialogue. Great love story too.
- jackmeatNovember 22, 2025My quick rating - 7.4/10. The Fall Guy ends up being one of those rare reboots that actually gets it right. It's respectful to the classic TV show while cranking up the energy with massive practical stunts, charismatic performances, and a clear love for old-school stunt work. David Leitch leans into what he knows best, and casting Ryan Gosling as Colt Seavers was absolutely the right move. Gosling plays Colt with the perfect mix of charm and humor, exactly the kind of personality fans of the show, like myself, remember. His stunt sequences look and feel real because, for the most part, they are. The commitment in the film to practical effects pays off with some of the most impressive car rolls and crash work you’ll see in a modern action movie. The Sydney setting adds a ton of visual personality, whether it’s high-speed chases skimming along the harbor or big stunt setups staged against the city skyline. The location becomes part of the fun. It also helps give the movie its own flavor instead of trying too hard to imitate the original series beat for beat. I feel that Emily Blunt was a big highlight. She brings sharp comedic timing and plenty of attitude, and her role goes beyond the typical “supporting love interest.” Her character, a director working on a film-within-the-film called Metalstorm, actually ties into the plot in a relevant way, while the chemistry with Gosling works without feeling forced. It’s a dynamic pairing that keeps the story moving and gives the film a little more emotional weight than expected. One thing that immediately stood out to me was the use of Kiss’s I Was Made for Lovin’ You. The song pops up multiple times and fits the tone perfectly. It gives the movie a playful pulse, and honestly, it’s hard not to smile when the soundtrack kicks in. Being a big Kiss fan, that's a fun touch that adds to the overall vibe, even if you’re not on their mailing list. Stick around for the mid-credits scene. Without spoiling anything, it offers a satisfying little bonus that is funny and ties up a few loose ends, including an extra glimpse at the chaos behind the making of Metalstorm. It’s a nice nod to the spirit of the original series — lighthearted, a bit cheeky, and full of appreciation for the craft of stunt performers. In the end, The Fall Guy delivers exactly what it promises with big stunts, great chemistry, and a throwback feel without leaning too heavily on nostalgia. It’s a confident, entertaining reboot-true to the show’s legacy yet standing firmly on its own. Fans of the original will have plenty to enjoy, and newcomers should have no trouble jumping right in. For someone who grew up with the series, I was rather relieved and pretty impressed that they didn't screw this one up.
- SAID MTSJanuary 30, 2026A neon-soaked love letter to the people who actually do the work while the A-listers take the credit. It’s a "meta-blockbuster" that celebrates the art of falling down, blowing up, and getting back up again for the next take.
- Justin GriggDecember 20, 2025Fun, popcorn movie filled with laughs.
- Michael JohnsonDecember 18, 2025The Fall Guy is a fun, throwback adventure that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s got charm, action, and a bit of campy ’80s energy that makes it entertaining from start to finish. The characters are fun, the stunts are over-the-top in the best way, and it’s exactly the kind of movie that’s fun to just sit back and enjoy without thinking too hard.
- mickerdooDecember 10, 2025An alright stunt movie. But the cyclical romance talk was obnoxious. Best character was Jean Claude (dog).
