Finally saw it and.............


What a waste of time!

Was really hyped about the film, had heard so many people talking about it as a classic. 3-4 ok scenes but the rest is just not funny.

Maybe if I´d seen it 15 years ago, it would have been better? Maybe my sense of humor is just shrinking by every year?

I just recently saw it as well, intrigued by the harsh criticism that Zoolander 2 (2016) has gotten, and how many of the professional critics were slamming the second one while praising the first.

Well, unlike you I don't consider it a waste of time.
I found the movie entertaining but nothing to rave about, it had a few good moments.
Not sure what people were expecting from the sequel when the original wasn't that great.

Thanks for coming here to moan, hipe you feel fulfilled, leave in peace.

Do you even understand the reference in the scene where they try to get the files from the computer? That scene alone is worth watching the movie.

reply

And if your entire justification for sitting through a movie is but ONE scene, no matter how good, what exactly does that say about the movie?

reply

maybe you don't understand Engrish well... Zoolander is worth watching even for that one scene parodying 2001 Space Odissey, alone. The movie has many more great scenes.

I understood your comment completely.

But I also have to admit, it's one of my favorite comedies. And they're Son doing that "Look" at the end,...hilarious.
