The Founder

Absolutely brilliant movie! Very sad for the two brothers who were completely crushed by the disgusting business practices of one man.

I vowed never to set foot in a Macdonald's restaurant the day I saw this movie!

WELL MADE MOVIE, GREAT FAMILY TIME, AND GOOD MOTIVATOR!!

Wow, what a blast. This is the kind of biopic i like. Showing all sides and - by most of the time - not judgeing, just showing. Well, maybe there is judging, but not too much.

Michael Keaton plays the Kroc just right.

+ Great Michael Keaton
+ Good Mix of pro and con
+ Very honest biopic (Did McDonalds wanted to stop it? And why they didn't?)

9/10

What i don't understand: Why does Reviewers judge this movie by the reallife story and not by the movie itself? Of course Kroc did horrible, capitalistic decisions, but you have to say if the movie does it capture right.

Here's another great movie that flew under the radar because Hollywood didn't properly promote it.

This movie was a suprise to me, because I haven't heard of it before. Even when you spent 2 or 3 evenings a week at the cinema, there are trailers and movies that you do not find any advertisement for. So when this movie started I did not know what to expect at all.

Only as the movie commenced did I finally get that this must be the story of McDonalds - a story I did not know anything about, so it was pretty interesting. As I am no fan of fastfood, I probably wouldn't have watched it, if I had known about it exsistance, but watching it was great. The story is interestingly told, we have a great cast and we have Michael Keaton who again plays ingeniously good. Even better than the so acclaimed Birdman. I really loved his play, the way he deals with his ups and downs and the turn from being a likeable fellow who you feel for, to turning out to be a person you dispise, yet find somewhat disturbingly understanding in his situation.

Additionally I love the 50s and 60s flair of the setting and the cast is great (Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, B. J. Novak - you cannot go wrong with these guys). I was considering 8/10, especially as it is probably not a movie that you will rewatch often; but taking into account that there was not a single minute in this movie that I wasn't captivated, I think the little more outstanding position is justified.

Really solid movie about marketing and business expansion. It's a pretty serious film but it has it's lighter moments and is an easy watch. I really feel like it's a film with two polar halfs. By the end I really grew to despise the main character. He plays the ending as positive with his speech but it's anything but that the way I saw it. Soundtrack and editing were great. Acting was pretty solid, nothing very special but good. Wish I could get a burger for 15 cents today...9/10 rating

Capitalism is power ❤
Communism does not work

It's a awesome sad true story movie, the movie deserves credit for not making all sunshine and rose's, he was a horrible person, that shouldn't have the luck he had, yet he did. Yes he risked everything he had. But he should have honoured the McDonald's brother's.

Great sad movie nonetheless

Human kind at it's worst..What can i say if this whole thing is true every detail i am dissapointed as hell.Although movie is really good with great directing and storytelling..7.5/10

Great movie, really great how they didn't try to make it seem happier and less depressing than it really was.

I'm going to reconsider going to McDonald's though, capitalism sucks, real-time.
