Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

thesar-2 Not sure why they included the word 'World' in their Spice World title when the girls occupy just two countries in this movie. Wait, backing up, why the hell would anyone think this was a good idea?It's hard to pinpoint the most ridiculous and awful part of this over-complicated, and yet, plot less film. Was it the aliens that the girls could understand because of the subtitles? Was it the doctor on holiday when a baby just appears after birth? Was it the toilet photographer? Was it the Dr Who bus? Was it the Rocky theme for a half a dozen steps? Was it the neglecting-the-pregnant-friend morning scene so they could train sing at fruity boot camp? Was it Bond's sad turn as Blofeld? Was it the dozens of called in favors from the guest appearances? Was it the girls breaking the fourth wall in the end credits and, incredibly, believing there were more than one person in the audience? Was it the two teen fans that looked even less interested in spending time with the Spice Girls than anyone watching this even when they're playfully thrown from a random boat?My excuse for watching this terrible plea to buy their CDs was that I listen to the How Did This Get Made podcast and it's all-but pointless listening to that hilarious podcast if you haven't seen the movie they make fun of on their show. I cannot wait to hear what they have to say about this. (I actually have a good idea as I watched this film.)Basically we have five girlfriend singers who are stalked by an amateur documentary maker, sabotaged by a tabloid editor, yelled at by their manager, fantasized by the movie-within-the-movie director/writer and made to feel guilty by a random, yet never explained, pregnant friend. Mercifully – not really, but I do try to be positive at times – the girls keep on rocking and remain BFFs for-eve-r!How on Earth did this make From Justin to Kelly look comprehensible?My guess, this movie began the downfall of the group and even if you're a die-hard fan to the end, spare yourself from this dreadful pile of donkey's discharge.* * * Final thoughts: Admittedly, I actually attended a Spice Girls concert once, back in the 1990s. Personally, I only liked 2-3 of their songs (still do,) but not enough to see them in concert. But, for a friend who absolutely loved them, I bought two tickets for us to go since he was feeling down. For whatever reason, he couldn't go and he sent me with his boyfriend who also liked them. It was literally one of the most painful experiences I've had…that is, up until I saw this movie. After showing up a ton late, the girls played a dozen or so songs I'd never heard of, nor liked, and took – no kidding, 4-5 15-minute intermissions in between every 2-3 songs. It wasn't bad enough I didn't really want to be there in the first place, I was barely friends with the boyfriend replacement and I didn't care for their music as a whole, but they stretched it out as long as possible with far too many breaks.And still, I would rather go back to that concert than watch this again.

Michael_Elliott Spice World (1997) 1/2 (out of 4) This here is pretty much a variation on A HARD DAY'S NIGHT but this time instead of John, Paul, George and Ringo we get Baby, Sporty, Ginger, Posh and Scary. Most movies made feature a credit that will read something to the effect of "story by..." but not this one. No, that credit is actually replaced by one that reads "idea by..." and that pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Really? The biggest pop female pop band that the world has ever seen and one that apparently made between $600-$800 million can only come up with a movie based on an idea? I guess it really doesn't matter that SPICE WORLD has been called one of the worst movies ever made because their fans ate it up when it was released and apparently they are still very fond of it. I guess if I was a die-hard fan of the group then I'd enjoy seeing them in anything no matter how bad it actually was. What makes this film so bad is that there really doesn't seem to be any idea of what this movie is supposed to be about. I'm sure it was an attempt to milk the success of the band and that's understandable. I just wish we had actually gotten a backstage look at the lives they were going through or at least gave us some sort of realistic look at the band. Instead we basically just get one long music video where the girls play their music and get to try on many different outfits. Nothing the five girls say are funny. Nothing they say is very interesting. In fact, nothing they do is all that entertaining. The movie actually reaches a level where it becomes painful to sit through it any longer. Heck, the girls can even lip-sync their songs and that well. SPICE WORLD doesn't quite earn a BOMB ranking thanks in large part to the girls being cute and wearing tight clothes but you can look at a magazine for this. The film itself is quite bad and sadly it never reaches a level to where you can just laugh at it.

alain-aouad This movie has everything related to the pop life in it, a comedic thrilling ride in the lives of a pop star band! The paparazzi, the fame, the fans, the back clash, the media, the managers, the shows and of course the greatest girl band the world has and will ever see: The Spice Girls! The Spice girls in a way gathered all the pop life elements in their movie, mocking even themselves, they tried to show the world that this is all a fun ride and you must enjoy every minute of it while it lasts, and this is what they did in their 2 years world domination rally! You can't watch this movie though if you're a pop music or Spice Girls hater, if you are into pop and into light comedy and cheesy jokes then this movie is for your eyes only (a little wink to Roger Moore's cameo). Relax, get your best friend with whom you spent most of the 90's hearing ace of base and Take that on your CD player and enjoy this movie for old times sake! Now the acting, the plot, the script etc... They all fade into the background when you've got the Spice girls up front doing their thing! So stop complaining about this movie, it is not just another Oscar Submission, its supposed to be a funny ride and a silly joke for God's sake, lighten up and enjoy it for what it is!

Tiffxrawr I loved this film when I was seven and I still love it today. I think that for any Spice Girls fan, this was a great movie. The acting may not have been Oscar worthy, but I feel they did a great job making their audience laugh acting as themselves. Though some of the scenes could be considered corny or out of place, this film was overall very entertaining to its target audience: the fans. It is not for everyone. Just as I will never love the movie Purple Rain as much as my mother did due to her generation's love for Prince, not many will love Spice World the way Spice Girls fans do.The Spice Girls were positive role models in the 90's for girls like me. Scary Spice inspired me to love my huge curly hair. Sporty Spice inspired me to embrace my inner tom-boy. Their songs were catchy and widely popular for a while. Their movie venture may not have been as successful as their songs. However, it was not a total flop. Spice World had a wacky but interesting story line and a few compelling sub-story lines. This will always be considered one of my favorite movies
