Surprised by the low rating here


I enjoyed this for what it was. It was miles better than dumb and dumber 2. I would give this a 6.5. This is one of the few times I disagree with the imdb rating. I don't understand all the hate for this sequel. The only thing I can think of is that the original fans are a bunch of idiots. It's a *beep* zoolander movie not schindler's list the forgotten sequel.

Interesting, I definitely had my doubts about this movie and the ratings/reviews confirmed it. However, I found Derek and Hansel's appearance on SNL two weeks ago VERY VERY funny. Sure they celebrated a lot of stuff from the first movie but it was great to see Ben and Owen on screen together for the first time in what feels like a long time. With this in mind and your comment in mind I'd consider seeing it.

I was being generous with giving the movie 6.5. But it's not a bad movie if you have already seen everything you wanted to see first.

It was better than "insert 4th wall offensive joke here" (cliche hero plot)Deadpool. That is for sure.

I found the movie very funny and Ive done a positive review. Seems like noones got a sense of humour any more!!!

reply

Why do people find it necessary to do this? "It was better than 'insert movie title that has a higher rating here'"

You liked it more than Deadpool, that doesn't make it subjectively better. You're confusing your opinion with fact.

Actually, that does make it subjectively better. You're confusing subjectively with objectively.

Oh look, another *beep* that complaint about another movie in anther movie's thread. Grow up to be a man and complaint about Deadpool in Deadpool's thread, why don't cha?

No, it's as terrible as everyone feared. Don't sugar coat it.

It's subjective, don't impose it.

He has a right to post his disdain for the movie just as the people who liked it. That is basically what subjective, means.

reply

He didn't merely posted his disdain, though. He tried to impose it.

reply

Yeah, I'd say it was easily better than Dumb and Dumber To. 6/10

I thought it was funny. But I must warn you I also thought it was funny when my house burned down.

Love your sense of humour, sir!

The rating should be zero for really, really, ridiculously stupid. Worst film of the year.

reply

Just curious did you like the original?

reply

doesn't matter what he thinkgs , ,this is subjective and he is a troll . comedy is subjective, it has to do with your personality .

reply

To the OP: You went into it with the right attitude, and saw it for what it was, and you enjoyed it apparently. There are people that liked Dumb and Dumber Too, most people didn't. Comedy can be really subjective, it depends a lot on what expectations you have going in.

Unfortunately........with this movie......other people went into the theater with expectations of laughing, they were disappointed.

That's a sensible way to look at it. The people who liked the first one are most likely the ones that go to this (80% on Rotten Tomatoes). Unfortunately, this one is only polling at 31%. You might want to catch it soon before it disappears. Enjoy.

I think you know how bad the movie is when the best thing you can say about it is that its better than Dumb and dumber 2





To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock
