Yeah it was an interesting film. I wouldn't say it's great, and the initial first 30 minutes or so were the hardest to get past, but once you get to the Simon Rex sequence, it started to click for me. It's experimental and wacky and doesn't really have a coherent narrative, but it's entertaining and engaging enough for what it is, and hell, any movie that isn't afraid to use the word "faggot" for no good reason in this day and age, along with many other naughty naughty words/concepts, is a movie worth paying attention to in my book.
Hell, they made a neo-Nazi the most sympathetic and somewhat moral person in the entire film. I mean, god damn if that isn't a bold choice, to give the guy a full 3 dimensions rather than just make him cartoonishly evil. The film doesn't spoon-feed or talk down or simplify things or tell you how to think like many other films do, and that's saying a lot. Even the Muslim/terrorist stuff was interesting and well within the moral gray zone that most films are too afraid to touch today for fear of "offense."
And god damn is the female lead here gorgeous. When she lies on the bed half naked in nothing but a bra and panties, man.
Especially after a nuclear apocalypse. Then again, if radiation can litter the landscape with all manner of ugly, horrifying monsters, a few trannies here and there wouldn't be that out of the question.
OMG so jealous of an unfunny milquetoast hack who's sold his soul to become an arm of propaganda for the left. So god damn jealous, you have no idea.
Something to consider, you realize Jimmy Kimmel is best friends with Adam Corolla, and that he was one of his writers last night? You know who Adam Corolla is, yes?
I wonder which of Kimmel's dozen or so writers came up with that one.
It was a surprisingly good film. Not the greatest ever but entertaining and well shot; I enjoyed the special effects and the settings and wacky creatures. It's very 80s, of course, and they were limited with what they could do at the time, but this film is way, way better than its imdb and metacritic rating would suggest.
There are shots and creature effects and even lines of dialogue that Peter Jackson took straight out of this film and put into LOTR. The monsters here look just like the orcs, Skeletor was clearly used as a model for Saruman (there's even a scene here where Skeletor handles his staff in exactly the same way Saruman does, a clear reference to the film), the way the Sorceress is lit and looks is almost identical to Galadriel, some lines of dialogue are reminiscent of LOTR, even the villain with the pointy metal ears here looks like one of the main villain orcs in Two Towers. This film clearly inspired Jackson when making LOTR.
The irony is, Emma Stone's not even that good looking. Even when she was younger she wasn't particularly attractive. The way all the men dote on her like she's this incredible beauty throughout the film is really asking a lot from viewers. She's a good actress and does a good job here, but a great beauty she is not.
Oh no, Barbie was way worse. This was at least funny throughout and didn't tempt me to want to gouge out my eyes and ears every 5 minutes.
Yeah I know better than to watch that crap. This film is definitely more interesting and unique and much funnier than any superhero film, that's for sure, but that's a very low bar to meet.
It's fairly woke unfortunately. A feminist power fantasy where all the women are good and pure regardless of what they do, all the men are evil or pathetic or extremely flawed/repulsive in some way (some even physically), you got a lesbian black/white romance subplot that also manages to support socialism for some reason (despite the two women working and thriving in a whorehouse, which is, you know, an example of capitalism in action, not socialism), a philosophical black guy hanging out with a rich old white lady, a cartoonishly evil husband shoved into the third act almost at the last minute who wants to castrate our main character because she's a whore who can't stop spreading her legs for everyone she sees and he strangely has a problem with it, etc etc.
The film is ultimately about a woman's right to have as much sex as she wants with whoever she wants whenever she wants regardless of consequences, and the evil pathetic men in her life who go through increasingly desperate lengths to get her to just keep it in her pants and be respectable. Promiscuity is freedom in the world of this movie, and "settling down" and not wanting to boink every person you meet is imprisonment, at least if you're a woman. It's propaganda designed to turn women into whores and men into weak complacent doormats.
Woke leftist bullshit claims another one.
Because feminism.
