Moviegoers are saying
Edgar Wright's action-packed take on Stephen King's 'The Running Man' delivers Glen Powell in his element alongside an ensemble cast including Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, and Michael Cera. While audiences praise the over-the-top action sequences and Wright's signature comedic timing, many note pacing issues and feel it doesn't quite match the original's impact, landing it firmly in 'entertaining popcorn flick' territory.

The Long Walk walked so The Running Man could run
timtamtitusNov 10, 2025Every bad thing people are saying about this is true, the script is wack, the editing is wack, and Edgar Wright is nowhere to be found (not that I was expecting a great return to form which probably helped my experience) (however there is a split diopter shot),…

men will literally get hunted by trained assassins instead of getting a job
vivdagoat 🍎🍂🐞Nov 22, 2025incredibly fun and by a mile the MOST someone has used glen powell, which is great to see. pretty unfortunate 3rd act on this one. also it’s 2025, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a black screen with just the word “goon” on it

- zxki likedThe Running Man
I'm honestly surprised by the negative reception. The runtime may run a little longer than it needs to, but I was thoroughly engaged throughout, and it may be a more restrained Edgar Wright project, but it's still one of the year's best action films. It's unfortunate it flopped too, because the…
majd lovedThe Running Manbeen waiting for this movie for monthsssss and the wait was worth it. so entertaining from beginning to end, the action was good but definitely could’ve been dialed up a bit more. glen was phenomenal, anger acting was on point. lee in this was sooo 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️. wish i hadn’t seen the…
Noah likedThe Running ManFun watch! I think I enjoyed this one as much as the original, but it’s hard to tell! I really liked the sets and the vibe the world gave off too, very grounded-futuristic! I also liked the Arnold nod 😂 Was wondering if he’d have a cameo… I really enjoyed the plane fight too!!

It was a fun watch but I wouldn’t call it great. Definitely really fun tho especially with friends. I would survive
riki. lovedThe Running Man“Running Man” delivers pure adrenaline—non-stop chases, slick choreography, and tension that never lets up. It’s raw, chaotic, and wildly entertaining. The energy hits like a punch, and the pacing keeps you locked in from start to finish. A must-watch thrill ride.
ChungiBoi likedThe Running ManDefinitely entertaining, with Glen Powell crushing it as always and fast paced action to keep you invested. Unfortunately, its plot veered into pretty overt messaging in the 3rd act. Overall I enjoyed it but it didn’t quite live up to my hype for it
- Alex is "meh" onThe Running Man
Unfortunately this one did not live up to the original. Glen Powell did everything he could to carry this movie but the story was so shallow, it didn’t help. Way too long, too many plot holes, and uninteresting characters. 5.5/10
Cam lovedThe Running ManThis movie showed how A.I. can be totally, absolutely, most definitely used against us……and I will tell you. I’m going to do something about it before it gets to that point.

Entertaining and kept the fun going. A little rushed in some spots and long in other others, overall a very enjoyable movie to this Stephen King fan. Any actors would have worked for the main roles, although Brolin was a great choice and they all were fun to watch

The film’s pacing is stumbling and the longer it goes on, the less urgency we feel in that chase.

The brash message of the film may amount to little more than “smash the system”, but it’s a message that Wright has ignored in a film that sorely lacks for imagination and edge.

The Running Man is such an enjoyable race while you're running it, but once you make it past the finish line and start reflecting on the experience, it leaves too much to be desired.
