Movie Reviews of Spies Like Us (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Good movie- sadly DVD does not have a WideScreen version
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great movie for Chase fans - unfortunatley the DVD does not have a widescreen version of the movie. Which of course is the only reason for buying it on DVD! For this reason alone I have to take two stars off.Movie Review: Ray Harryhausen?
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes Ray Harryhausen the master of F/X has a small part in this one. Look for him.Movie Review: Great Movie - shame about the DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
Well it would seem that Warner Bothers have failed again to utilize the DVD format to it's fullest! The picture transfer is poor - in some places it's obvious that they haven't even taken the time to clean up the original print. Don't be fooled - 1985 wasn't that long ago! So this movie shouldn't look like a VHS rental copy on DVD! The sound is very much below par and there are no extras; no director's/actor's commentary, no cinema preview, no music clip by Paul McCartney etc (He did the song for the movie!). Overall, if you want a laugh and you see this version of the movie for a cheap(!) price - buy it. However, if like me you love this movie, I would recommend that you wait and hang on to your VHS copy in the hope that we get a 'Collectors Edition'. Maybe we will get lucky and someone from Warner Brothers will actually read these reviews!Movie Review: Mostly stupid, but a few funny spots
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was the absolute worst film from John Landis' otherwise respectable repertoire.Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase's comedic talents are clearly wasted by a [bad] script and paper-thin characters.
The gist of the movie is that Alyroyd plays the straight man to Chase's character. Both are low-grade intellegence agents sent as decoys on a mission to launch a missile from the USSR in order to test out the US "Star Wars" defense system.
In a thinly-disguised swipe at the "Star Wars" concept, the system misses the missile and nuclear war is about to ensue...
The ending is both predictable and dumb.
There are some funny moments, but when the highlight of the film is Bob Hope dressed like the late great Payne Stewart, you know there aren't many.
Movie Review: Lame
Summary: 2 Stars
When John Belushi died in 1982, he left Dan Aykroyd with several scripts and the sad end to what could have been a great comedy team like Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello.
Aykroyd filled John's spot in GHOSTBUSTERS with Bill Murray and hit comedy gold.
He filled SPIES LIKE US with Chevy Chase and came up snake eyes.
View at your own risk. At least it's not as bad as NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, easily one of the worst comedies ever made.
