at first: sorry for the *beep* english...it's not my native language..
when I read about my name is bruce for the very first time I was very excited and thought "wow...not evil dead 4 but very close"...even if the concept is kind of a galaxy quest or three amigos rippoff I thought there would be so many ways to make this movie a cult classic...like the being john malkovich for the horror or b-movie folks...
when I watched the trailer for the first time I thought "oh my god...it looks so damn creepy and the jokes are embarrassing silly"
and now my impression after watching the movie 10 minutes ago: the visual work is quite ok...they used the budget very well, the effects could be much worse. comparing his work as a direcor on man with the screaming brain and my name is bruce you will recognize that mr campbell improved in many ways. but as a bruce campbell fan (I love OF COURSE the evil dead series, bubba ho-tep (my fav.) and flicks like running time) I have admit that the movie is even more boring than man with the screaming brain. well screaming brain was unbelieveable creepy...but with some friends and some beers you could have great fun with this b-movie...but that didn't work out for me this time...
I think bruce is a very talented and funny guy. if you wath videos of his live appearences you know what I mean. so I can hardly understand why a wisecracker like bruce makes a movie full of awfull, silly and old jokes? yeah of course its meant to be for bruce campbell fans...but just referencing some movie titles doesn't make a movie with an unoriginal lame plot interesting for me...sorry but I would only give 2 stars out of 5.
