My biggest issue w the movie was definitely Mikey’s almost autobiographical character becoming white. It was so painfully obvious he wrote the script for himself, a black man. Even the way his dad talked was like a black parent (specifically the “speak the king’s English” scene which is a very black parents thing to do). It could’ve been adjusted once they casted Ryder but Ryder didn’t do anything to make it sound more natural and I physically cringed when he kind of mumbled “finna” at one point. In an interview Alfred even stated that “black ppl in film are constantly portrayed as in a race struggle and I wanted this movie to just be about a guy who wants to skate” and my issue with thay is why didn’t he just do that? Why didn’t he break the boundaries and get us out of that shell rather than casting a white man and calling it a day. As well, I was so confused as to why Rachel’s friend didn’t say one word when hanging out w them??? That was so odd and hard to ignore. That said, I did lovethe cinematography and Nico’s character and I’m excited to see what Alfred will do next. EDIT: just finished the video and I’m soooo glad U guys said what I was thinking
@@bubblegirl9854 Which is true! It is his story to tell but, my problem was more so with the reasoning behind having a white person play him. It was slightly contradictory and didn't really make sense to me and many others.
first off- i'm so happy i found yall through the moxie reaction, i subbed instantly!! the love for nico hiraga, the accents, the jokes, it's chefs kiss 😌 AND THEN,,,, i check yalls twitters to follow.. tese you're nigerian then christina is a kpop stan YALLLLLL yupppp i'm looking forward to more content i love this already
reminds me of the movie mid 90's that Jonah hill wrote/directed, what seems like such a nice summer film actually shows real life struggle of young skater kids lives
The whole Heathers symbolism with the cardigans was really cool to see, with Mikey wearing the red cardigan which represents Heather Chandler as her designated colour was also red which represents power and passion and that’s why they were both the leaders of their group, they’re both seen as pretty self centred and just annoying to be around overall. Adolf represents Heather Duke whos main colour is green (Duke mainly wore green coloured clothes and in the movie you see Adolf being the one to wear the green cardigan and green is the colour of jealousy and cowardice) Duke was the one that was jealous of Chandler which is exactly like how Adolf was jealous of Mikey and then there’s Jay who’s representing Veronica who I guess is the most normal of the trope, Veronica mainly wore the colour blue which represents stability and loyalty which describes Jay perfectly (Veronica has her own issues but let’s not get into that) but she’s more on the sidelines while Duke and Chandler have their....issues (exactly like how Jay was on the sidelines with Mikey and Adolfs beef) I guess and she’s just pretty upfront which is exactly like how Jay is with both Mikey and Adolf, someone might have already said this but I’m not sure so I thought I’d just say it as well!!
I'm so glad I subscribed lol y'all make me feel like I'm your secret 3rd friend that y'all don't know because I've watched a lot of the same movies that y'all have reviewed already (so we all have great taste) and y'all are just funny af
its probably one of those situations where they have been friends since they were 5 and even though they are in different places in their "teens" those long years are keeping them together
Just found your channel like 2 hours ago and subed. Lmaoo, I have a new found love for Nico Hiraga because of y'all now. So cool that you guys like BTS too, NCT or other groups too?? Love the vids, feel like I'm watching smth with friends ❤👌🏾
Omgggg I was thinking about watching it but mainly for Nico As always I’m excited to watch you watch movies for me so that I can see the most important part aka Nico
Love this style of reaction video, where you show short clips. Theatrically this movie wasn't amazing, but I had a blast watching all the IC boys on the big screen. Its a great summer flick.
Mikey was literally so annoying through the whole MOVIE!! I'm just glad that people watching these movies no one I know knows what I'm talking about half the time...
I genuinely thought your channel would have at least 300k subs I was literally shocked when I saw that ye have 1.69k. Your videos are so well edited and so entertaining!!!
Hey **awkward wave** so I just found your channel today and I’m really vibing with y’all’s videos. I’m super picky with my reaction/commentary channels but it genuinely feels like you two tick all of my boxes (even ones that are utterly irrelevant such as Christina being a BTS stan👀💜) I dunno whether you take recommendations but just in case you do here’s my favourite movie of all time: Pride (2014) As the title suggests it’s centred around the LGBTQ+ community. Honestly this is one of the most wholesome movies ever created that also doesn’t shy away from the toughness of reality. It’s based on true events that have taken place in the UK in 1984. I can write whole essays for this film but I‘m trying to avoid giving any spoilers whatsoever so I’m struggling to keep it all in (pretty much like y’all are trying to restrain from simping over Nico,,, yes.. it is that painful). Just a quick sidenote: the trailer doesn’t really do the movie justice so I wouldn’t recommend judging it based on that. I would really love seeing your commentary but of course there is absolutely zero pressure. It goes without saying (I hope) that this is your channel and you should do whatever you enjoy🤍
Okay now I feel like we have to watch it because of how sweet this comment is (and I’m seeing some familiar faces in the cast)! Also I need to put it out there that I am 100% ARMY too (just a bit more lowkey lol) -Tese
Here because skating (51yo - 80s skater) - movie is strange with time / time travelers ? Who has a land line, rotary phone? Mosh pit? But was fun watching you 2 review - maybe better than the movie?
im just now finding this video but as a skater whos been following illegal civ and mikey for a really long time, my biggest complaint with the movie other than it being bad, is the lack of good constructive criticism the movie is receiving. illegal civ has this big cult following surrounding it and its skaters (who are in the movie), which i think its making it really hard for people to actually criticize this movie without being biased. i feel like there are a lot of issues with this movie and it really disappointed me bc i really thought this was gonna be a great movie and then i was proved wrong. and a lot of fans of mikey's are praising this movie left and right, but no one is actually watching a critising this movie without biases
All valid points! We have a video that’s more review style where we really talk about how we feel. You should definitely watch it ua-cam.com/video/icHu0k2OXG8/v-deo.html

Also y’all are funny asf. The Disney casting celebs scene had me WEAKKKKK
Not us having the same sentiments…down to a t…word for word. Bar for bar.
-Tese
Isn’t there a whole skating movie with Jayden Smith? So it has been done. Excuses excuses. He’s right, but he’s not.
Does it really matter tho, it’s his story he should be allowed to tell it how he chooses.
@@bubblegirl9854 Which is true! It is his story to tell but, my problem was more so with the reasoning behind having a white person play him. It was slightly contradictory and didn't really make sense to me and many others.
Not you lot trying not to simp over Niko 😂😉
Grace you don’t even understand Lmaoo. It was so hard
-Tese

😂😂😂
He look like the guy that act in Mad Max
The open shirt was giving me heart palpitations pleaseee😭

I dunno whether you take recommendations but just in case you do here’s my favourite movie of all time:
Pride (2014)
As the title suggests it’s centred around the LGBTQ+ community. Honestly this is one of the most wholesome movies ever created that also doesn’t shy away from the toughness of reality.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. That’s not on the agenda so far but maybe we’ll check it out
-Tese
do you know where i can stream this in the UK? Great video!
I don’t think it’s available internationally yet. Have you tried Amazon Prime yet?
Ohhh boy🔥🥵
What the title name and artist to the ending song?
This is dope love North Hollywood
You guys NEED to watch the kissing booth 2, it is so bad 😭
Don’t worry, we will be doing TKB 3 which I believe comes out this July. Be on the lookout for that ;)
-Tese
You guys gotta react to summer 17 by illegal civ it’s the same people that created north Hollywood it’s 3 episodes it’s on UA-cam

I wanted to like it, but it ended up being one my least favorite movies of all time
