I really liked it. Ray Kroc was ruthless. The McDonald brothers didn't stand a chance.

I enjoyed it. I never knew the OG McDonald's had so many options.

I liked it too. Kroc was definitely a dick. Yet somehow I kept pulling for the guy.

The Mark Knopfler song Kroc Style is an accurate depictiin of the man and rocks. Will check out the movie soon.

Ray Kroc was a dick. Stole his business partners wife. Couldn't do it on his own so he bought or took others ideas.
Good movie though.

It's kinda cool that the 3rd McDonald's ever opened is still operating today...
Oldest operating McDonald's in America...Los Angeles

When Kroc died in 1984 at the age of 82 his personal fortune was estimated at $500 million.
When Richard McDonald died in 1998 having outlived his brother he left a will of just $1.8 million - and spent his final days in a humble three-bedroom suburban home.
Wow...
Actual real life nephew Ronald McDonald...
'We weren't as rapacious or as greedy. Ray Kroc just wanted more and more.
'Name me one other American corporation where an employee became the founder.'
Ray Croc once said of his business rivals: 'If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth and turn on the water'.

It was interesting to learn about Kroc and Keaton was good, but overall I thought the movie was pretty meh

Ray Kroc was an unbelievable piece of shite. He stole every idea and standard from those brothers and undercut everyone in his way. You can call him ruthless but I tend to categorize it as unethical dick.

Good movie, especially Keaton's performance, but not great. Wondered why the wife (Dern) was in so many scenes without saying more than a word or two.
It brought back memories of the excitement of going to a McD's in the 70's. Especially if you lived in a small town w/out one.

I enjoyed it
I think Ray did what was necessary and the brothers got a fair shake for what they did

Great film. Society looked a lot better back then.

Good movie. How old was Croc when he started making money with McDonalds? 52? Great inspirational story on not giving up, among other things.

Yeah but you never got the feeling the McDonald bros saw the potential and big picture.
They had a few Hamburger stands and seemed content.
And it wasn't chump change for the Bros.
$2.7 million in 1961 is equivalent to 22 million today.
The oldest operating McDonalds:
Downey, CA since 1953

Good movie. Just makes me wonder had they stuck to the brother’s business and quality standards if the restaurants would be the disaster that many are today.

Great movie,
Krock comes off as a POS
The McDonalds brothers come off as being completely idiots in business.
They had a contract with RK that they could of squeezed him for way bigger and better stock deals. Instead, they make a hand shake agreement with one of the most ruthless business men of the late 1900's. Dumb asses.
