I also loved the Platoon parody at the beginning. And the panda as well.

Does anyone else think Stiller's line in the Scorcher VI trailer "Here we go again...again" was a last minute dub to make fun of that line from Mummy 3, when Fraser looks at the camera and goes "Here we go again!"

Anyway, fun movie. RDJ stole the show, and Jack Black was funny. I was a little disappointed by Tom Cruise. I thought he would be much more hysterical, but besides the constant swearing, it wasn't anything new. Also, I kind of wished he had used a different voice. It didn't really go with the fat outfit.

I think the here we go again line was to make fun of how much that line is used in movies.

Ugh, I wanna see this so bad! I just need to think of a way to sneak into it.

i saw this a second time, and i am still disapointed.
the beginning of it was awesome
the middle was boring and dragged out imo
the end was awesome
7/10

Tom Cruise was hilarious
Nick Nolte was Funny
The little warlord kid was badass

How were you "disappointed"?... You gave the film a "7/10", which is in no way a bad score. Well, I figure that people like you are so used to giving a film "10/10" that "7/10" just isn't enough.

Alright, I saw it last night and I can't believe people think this tops Pineapple Express. Sure it was funny at times but PE was funny all around. The beginning with the trailers was cool, than the actual beginning of the movie was boring, the middle was boring, the end was awesome with the big gunfight with RBJ pulling out those guns telling them he runs a lead farm. I thought Tom Cruise's character was Jamie Kennedy the whole time until he revealed himself at the end. The only real thing that made this movie funny was Robert Downey Jr, I laughed whenever he was onscreen, other than that Jack Black's lame ass humour like every other movie and Ben Stiller's desperate attempt to be funny was not entertaining. Overall, this movie was kind of boring with some funny parts and definatley not worth a buy on dvd or a second viewing, I'll save my cash for the second viewing of Pineapple Express if I really want to laugh.

RDJ was in Iron Man and you didn't like it Jack Black was his usual self but Seth Rogen is the same character in every movie...a funny smart ass.

I just thought this was a great 3-some of actors and they played off of each other perfectly. This was an original movie and it worked IMO...not another stoner comedy. I did not go see Pineapple because nothing in any of the trailers even remotely made me laugh or smile.

RDJ was in Iron Man and you didn't like it

I hate Iron Man.

'I Love Tha P***Y' is the only thing playing on my ipod right now. It's amazing.

I love your avatar.

 

[BlackLantern]

I hate Iron Man.

Do you hate America as well?? j/k

RDJ is one of my favorite actors....I hope he gets a chance to do his "one great film"....whatever that may be....

I enjoyed this film a great deal. But at the same time I feel like it really did not live up to its full potential. Stiller was just doing his same old bit but now in an army uniform. Some stuff was skewered (the hollywood system etc) well but others themes seemed like it did not go far enough. I also could have lived without the Jack Black character. Overall though, lots of fun. 8 out 10.

I thought Tom was one of the best things in the movie. I think that was because I didn't know he was going to be in it, and I never envisioned him doing anything like that. That surprise was a lot of what I thought was fun.

I saw it today, Thought it was funny as hell! One of the top 5 comedies of the year!

RDJ was pure gold!

 

[Fanticon]

yeah...so far all my friends have asked how it was and I'm just like...see it for RDJ everything else depends on what kind of comedy you like. I thought it was hilarious but I was a little over-hyped and I didn't think it was possible to do that for a comedy...so, i left the theater not laughing as much as I would have liked.

I'm not a big fan of Jack Black, but his line after Alpa's revelation about his love back home nearly had me falling out of my chair was I was laughing so much.

I did think the movie dragged a bit in the middle, but as a whole (especially the last 45 minutes) it was just ridiculously funny.

I loved the kid too. He seemed like an evil version of Short Round.

I agree that Pineapple Express was better...

 

[giggs11uk]

Does anyone else feel like RDJ's character had an eery similarity to Heath Ledger

1. The opening trailer about the Monks was obviously a spoof of brokeback mountain
2. The extreme method acting
3. Both are Australian actors

i dont know it could just be me

WHAT?????



This movie kicks-ass . It was hilarious . I thought maybe the first ten or fifteen minutes were just ok but once they are in the jungle doing the bit with the director exploding ....it was non-stop clever . I thought Robert Downey Jr. totally owned and did a really good job creating his character. The line " I don't read the script , The script reads me " was perfect for RDJ to say . Jack Black was probably funnier than I have ever seen him . The scene with Black tied to a tree was great and one of the best parts for me . I don't think this movie is offensive in the least bit . Cmon " You never go FULL ******" t: , so true . Also the G5 scene had me rolling .

One of my Favorite RDJ lines was:

"I don't break character till the DVD commentary"
