Movie Reviews of Tropic Thunder
Movie Review: The Humor is Intense
Summary: 5 Stars
I heard the hype this summer. I heard the claims that it's not "politically correct," whatever that means. So, I decided to get the DVD and watch it. I found portions of it to be the funniest stuff I have ever seen anywhere. The acting was intense. Particulary strong was Robert Downey, Jr. His "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude" should be carved in stone somewhere.
Tropic Thunder takes comedy to new and exciting heights (depths?). It's The Three Stooges gone digital, twenty-first century, and into the jungles of Southeast Asia with a multi-million dollar special effects budget. It seems to me that this film is an example of creative/comedic genius gone wild.
Movie Review: the Stripes for a new generation
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies that has come out in the past few years. Yes there is a ton of bad language in it, Cruise is sometimes funny sometimes creepy as the movie mogul. Of course everyone knows Downey Jr. steals the movie with his character who has some of the best lines in any movie in the past few years. The movie does bog down a little in the middle when Stillers character get's captured by the bad guys but overall this movie is a crazy fun ride. In the early 1980's Stripes set the bar high for "army" comedy movies and although these are actors (in the movie) playing at war, when they do go to battle towards the end of the movie perhaps they do become real soldiers.Movie Review: Plenty of heat.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film pays homage to several great war films such as Bridge over the River Kwai, Apocalypse Now, and Saving Private Ryan. We see the camraderie build as in a classic war film. I can overlook the Howard Stern-type crudeness and admire the finesse of the cinematography, and the dead-on impressions of Hollywood. The real meaning of the movie is that the U.S. lost the Vietnam War, but Hollywood not only won the war but conquered the world. It should be watched by anyone whose childhood happened during the Vietnam war, because it is therapeutic. But another reason that I, as a woman, watch it? Incredibly hot guys in uniform!Movie Review: One of the best movies of 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved it. I've seen it several times and it never ceases to make me laugh.
It's over the top and EVERYONE in the movie is absolutely fantastic.
And this is coming from a guy that in general does not like Ben Stiller, Jack Black or Tom Cruise.
Robert Downey Jr. really does live up to all the hype. He's just flipping amazing here.
This movies gets all the "little things" right to, like the fake stories about the actors playing the guys in Tropic Thunder, the war vet played by Nick Nolte and the explosions tech played by Danny McBride.
Two thumbs up, 5 stars.
Movie Review: Great Over-The-Top Rude Romp is not for all!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rude, hilarious, politically incorrect, action packed, gut busting laugh fest! I laughed so hard watching this but must say that it is not for all - the range of reviews makes this very clear. This movie dares to be rude and go where others won't, somewhat in the likes of Carlos Mencia or Blazing Saddles. If you are offended by these, you will be with this one also. However if you enjoy this sort of thing, brace yourself and enjoy! I loved the performances of all the actors. Robert Downey was amazing and Jack Black had me buckled over (strapped to the tree - what a Jack!)
