5.3 really?


This is atleast a 7. Wont win any awards sure but was hilarious. Not sure what people were expecting when they saw this cause it was exactly the type of movie i expected. At times cheesy yes. Its on purpose though. Mcgruber is a has been black ops legend straight outta the 80's. lived at a monastery for years and resurfaces. Thought that set up was great. Because hes a cheeseball but everyone else who around him thinks hes nutz. I liked that formula. A movie like this is best watched with 1 or more people but i'll watch it anytime. Get ready for stupid vulgar laughs. Not really a movie for more reserved people. Although i think plenty watched it and came on here to vote it down. There just hating. Its common sense really. Same reason i never watched pride and prejudice. Not my type of movie, looks boring. So if i watched it and hated it i wouldnt come on here to vote it down and bash it. Because it was never suppose to be a movie for me. Sure there alot of people that like that movie or a period pieces but i dont. Why on earth would i watch it and think my opinion mattered on it? I wouldnt really be the person to ask now would i? Same goes with mcG. If you dont like slapsticky vulgar comedy what are u doing here???

I think this is the funniest movie of the past 5 years.... a 5.3 is ridiculous.

Pretty much my thoughts! I hope they do a kickstarter for MacGruber 2. They just marketed this all wrong.

Didnt read your whole post. The tagline and first sentence was enough. Some people just dont get it and thats sad. Love the way he was peacocking ryan phillipe for the first half.

But it was your post...Anyway, I think a lot of the hate comes from the fact that a lot of people were surprised by certain scenes, and not in a good way. I don't know, that's the only thing I can think of, that maybe stuff like the throat ripping and McGrubber using his partner as a human shield were too violent for some people.

It was a good movie, seriously I don't understand the hate. There are a lot more worse comedies out there.

Break the rules and in a couple of years you will have a hell of a story to tell.

At least its a smart dumb comedy if that makes sense. It knows what cliches to subvert and does it in a silly fashion. I think thats what people didnt like; how absurdly it ripped into the genre and its conventions.

I get the hate, I just dont agree with it...

reply

Totally agree. It's a movie that no matter how many times I watch it I laugh my ass off every time.

Didn't laugh once. It's lucky to have that rating.
