a crowd pleasing musical, romance, action car chase movie. Using the strengths of the veteran supporting cast, and some great young talent. A pleasure to behold.

That's going a bit overboard isn't it?

I saw it tonight because the theater I went to said I could not see Spiderman with the free pass until after July 22 because it's too "popular". I was like umm, ok one for baby driver then. I enjoyed the film but I must say I don't understand the 96 percent on rotten tomatoes or the praise of "Best film of summer". It's an enjoyable popcorn ride for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Not only would I say it's not the best film of the year but not even the summer. I liked both Guardians and Wonder Woman better than this. This was about on par with the 2pac movie, and alien covenant. Maybe I'd have it slightly above those two.

I saw both at the drive-in as a double features. "Baby Driver" and "Spiderman" as the 2nd feature. Spiderman maybe be more popular, but Baby Driver is the better movie.

Slightly above those two, with you on that. It really was just a very over-hyped and underperforming film IMHO. It was amusing and entertaining, but my rating is a 6/10. I think I just couldn't get over the kid's name and his "I'm master of the f'ing universe attitude, it was something that irked the crap out of me all throughout. Also I think the target audience was well below my age bracket, 38, that often explains a lot.

Not it isn't, I just watched Baby Driver and almost passed out. I was sooo bored. I normally love Edgar Wright movies, so was looking forward to this, but wow did this movie bite.
From my post in another thread:
The movie had a tempo, that you can see all the other actors keeping it up, except for Jamie Foxx who was just one long sour note, you don't see that tempo in the movie until near the end. Despite all others trying to maintain the rhythm of the film, he just drowns everyone else out. Which is a shame because he's usually more interesting then that.

I'm very sorry your experience wasn't the same as mine.

I totally agree about Jamie Foxx, he stepped in and he instantly started to sour the film. His street gangster, tough guy persona picking on the kid over and over and over and over was straight stupid. I can understand that at first when Foxx gets a look at him and him not knowing the kid's skill set he'd have a plausible "who the f'k is this young punk or why you let some kid in on this", but it should have been a one and done issue. Foxx just kept digging at him, like "why should he get a fair cut when he didn't go in and do all the work". Any idiot knows that any idiot can walk into a bank with guns and get money put in bags, but that is really the easy part of the job. Getting out and gone in time to shake the cops is of the utmost importance if not THE most important role in a heist and Foxx is just an ignorant jackazz throughout the entire film about it.
Obviously the masses forgave a lot of stuff that put me off, but nonetheless, the fact is that it wasn't a masterpiece by any means and it has some actual arguable faults and it has no business being in the IMDb Top250 at #145, although as I've said before it still was a pretty cool action/driving flick and I was entertained, but not deserving of the rating it currently has. It's unbelievable how many average or slightly above average films are beginning to populate the Top 250, not like it means anything really, but for film buffs like myself it does mean something and I know a lot of other people that also care about what goes in it. I think a a 7.1/10 would be a more accurate rating, which is still a very good rating. For me a 6/10.

I started thinking what if another actor played his character, someone who had better of a sense of what Edgar Wright movies are like say Vinnie Jones. I think he would have made a more interesting antagonist. At least he could have made the character more fun to watch.

Nope, it's the most fun I've had with a piece of fiction in a good while. Not the best movie I've seen, and I doubt it'll even be the best movie I see in theaters this year, but it was still a blast nonetheless.
