Stephen King had a different opinion about Ryan Gosling’s latest film.
Stephen King is an awarded author with a knack for terrifying stories, but he is also using his huge platform to share movie and TV recommendations. His most recent comment was on Ryan Gosling’s latest film, The Fall Guy.
On his X account, Stephen King recently reshared a post addressing The Fall Guy, adding his own commentary to it. The film comes from Bullet Train director David Leitch, and it has been very well received since its premiere at the SXSW Festival and release in theaters. Starring Gosling and Emily Blunt, the enthusiasm for their chemistry and good reviews didn’t translate into movie tickets, and the film had a disappointing performance at the box office.
A user addressed the film’s disappointing run: “Audiences may not have flocked to it in theatres but The Fall Guy is great fun.” However, King revealed he wasn’t that impressed with Ryan Gosling’s latest release. “Yes, definitely fun, but great fun? Perhaps not,” the author wrote, disagreeing with the general audience.
The film currently holds a Certified Fresh rating of 81% from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and 87% from the audience, indicating that moviegoers did enjoy the film. With $74.1 million domestically, The Fall Guy fell flat at the international box office, adding only $71.7 million from foreign markets to a total of $145.9 million (via The Numbers). That might not look like a bad gross, but the film’s budget was estimated at around $125 million, and it has barely covered its initial budget, let alone marketing costs and distribution fees, as the rule of thumb for Hollywood films is usually earning double the production costs to break even.
Fans Disagreed With Stephen King’s Comments
Stephen King has weighed in on many recent film and TV series online, including the Jake Gyllenhaal-led Road House, the Netflix hit limited series Baby Reindeer, and the sci-fi show 3 Body Problem, among others. Most of them were popular and the public agreed with King’s praise, but not the same can be said about his view on The Fall Guy, which many praised for its appreciation for stunts.
Fans flooded to social media to disagree with his views. @Trizzydri186 noted, “This the same guy who said The Flash was great,” with a laughing and clown emojis. @B00TS replied to the comment with a very meta reference, noting, “This is the same guy who didn’t like Kubrick’s The Shining.” Another person commented, “If Stephen King isn’t a fan it must be good,” with another reasoning, “Seriously, does anyone give issue what Stephen King thinks about an action movie? That isn’t even his genre or specialty.”
The Fall Guy is still out in theaters, but it’s also available on digital platforms.
