Movie Reviews of Dolemite
Movie Review: Bad or baddass?
Summary: 5 Stars
In my humble opinion Dolemite is the one of the finest blaxploitation movies ever! It shows what you can do with a little imagination and ingenuity, regardless of your budget. Upon first viewing you will notice how its style and substance has been shamelessly copied over the years by better directors and actors, but that they somehow never manage to come close to the energy and vibrancy of Dolemite. To sum the movie up in a word would be to do it a disservice, but if you had to, the word would be fun. Long live the legacy of the best "badd" film ever.Movie Review: No doubt, one of the worst movies ever
Summary: 5 Stars
And like all the other reviews said, one of the funniest things you'll see. What slays me is how fat this guy is. I mean, he's supposed to be this kung fu expert or whatever, and the guy wears a cumberbund to hide his gut!...Just having boom mikes visible doesn't automatically make for an Ed Wood style comedy (check out "Walking Tall", the police station parking lot scene). But there are so many foul-ups along with the bad acting and stupid dialogue, that the entire effect is just a howl from beginning to end. Great for parties.Movie Review: Note to the "no life-having" critics
Summary: 5 Stars
To all those who are seriously "critiquing/criticizing" this movie, please find a life--because, clearly, you have none.
"Dolemite" is a classic movie from a classic genre. Rudy Ray Moore was the King of The Party Records. It is his presence that people love (and the Hamburger Pimp). The mistakes are part of what makes this film entertaining.
It's a fun movie...FUN. Get it?? If you can't handle that, there are plenty of Meryl Streep films available for your dry, boring behinds to watch.
Movie Review: Superwho?
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone made the horrible mistake of telling Rudy Ray Moore he was funny. The only thing wrong with Dolemite is the stand-up comedy sequence. Everything else just rules. The fact that you can see the boom mic in some of the shots makes me wonder if it was deliberately there. The whole mic is in the shot! Buy this! You will not be disappointed. But if you're looking for a real blaxploitation experience rather than a gut busting laugh fest, stick to Shaft.
Movie Review: THIS DVD HAS NO RUNNING COMMENTARY BY RUDY RAY MOORE!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite what many sources have reported, this DVD contains no running commentary by Rudy Ray Moore, which was the primary reason I plunked down money to get this thing on DVD. Granted, if you're a "Dolemite" fan, the disc is a must-have. This classic piece of cinematic mind-rot never looked or sounded finer. But I was extremely disappointed not to have the running commentary as was promised. Buyer beware!!!!!
