...not everyone's cup of tea but I really enjoyed it and thought it was a lot of fun.

Then there's Dunkirk which all the critics have raved about but which no one here seems to like.

I didn't like Atomic Blond either. (At least I saw it in one of those theaters with the large leather recliners!) If I want to see Charlize in the future, I'm going to stick to my blu-ray of Aeon Flux!

  ...don't know how you can prefer Aeon Flux, but different strokes.

mkuller- Thanks for your reply. I can understand "Baby Driver" being seen as "a lot of fun" and I'm glad you enjoyed the film.
I kept thinking about the lineage of where "Baby ..." came from. Tarantino? Maybe "Pulp Fiction"?
I remember how entertaining and groundbreaking Pulp Fiction was when I first saw it.
I also compared "soulmates" Baby and Deborah to Mickey and Mallory in NBK. There was such a void of sexual chemistry between Baby and Deborah - it almost seemed strange to see them kissing.
Have a great day! -Jim

  ...some reviewers referenced Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.
  
  I agree Baby and Deborah's relationship was weak point but that was ok.
Going to skip both ... - reelsmith. 16:31:10 08/11/17 (3)
...but my son loved Baby Driver and told me I had to see it.

My daughter loved Dunkirk and told me I had to see it.

I'm going to skip both since they wouldn't go with me to see Atomic Blonde.

  reelsmith - Thanks for your comment. I can understand a young man totally enjoying "Baby Driver".
  
  When we were walking home discussing the film I asked my girlfriend "am I getting too old to enjoy current state of cinema?"
  
  Thankfully she said "no"! ha ha
  
  Have a great day- Jim
