Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Raushan Kumar (AbsoluteRaushan) This movie is really funny movie. I laughed so much that my it gave aches in my stomach. Should you watch this movie.? Yes ! definitely. Just watch it and have a good time. But the movie contains some curse language and little bit of nudity but that's OK just watch it with your friends.
drblagger In the words of Comic Book Guy "worse film ever" , its badly written you can tell its been scripted by a teenager with a crayon and not a lot of free time with predictable stereotyping of 3rd world dictators blatantly replicated the countries ending with -stan .If you read this review before you watch the film then take it from me Don't cause its 1hour forty six you will waste of your precious life and you will never get back.The acting quality is very poor especially from Sacha Baron Cohen and even from Sir Ben Kingsley i know even I'm shocked that distinguished actor Ben Kingsley would get involved in poor film.
Mattie Huggins I really enjoyed Sacha Baron Cohen's previous work with Borat. I came in to The Dictator with relatively high hopes for some good laughs. I'll say that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Cohen gets some great laughs on politically incorrect humour in to this film, and it's well done. In the first 10 minutes of the film, I was laughing my head off with the consistency of the humour, but I can see why in the later half this can not be abundant. However, sometimes this film falls flat, with a lot of humour being delayed in the last half of the movie. Sometimes it (but very rarely) feels like it is not Cohen. However these jokes are still a bundle of laughs for the right people. Overall it's a great film if you're familiar with Cohen's other work.
FilmCriticLalitRao As a comedy film which ridicules everything which is discussed in the film, 'The Dictator' can be seen either with people of one's age, juniors or friends. It would be not right to call its opponents 'Victorian prudes' but under no circumstances should one watch it with family. American director Larry Charles and actor Sasha Baron Cohen have contrived nicely to make their film replete with sexual innuendos. They also make a lot of fun of nature loving geeks. Some hints of authenticity are witnessed in the portrayal of UN delegates especially a Chinese diplomat who makes a lot of comical remarks about his wife in order to seek false popularity ? American director Larry Charles' film "The Dictator" is a bad work of art for dictators and their megalomania cal images. It is a film which no intelligent dictator would like to endorse. Most dictators feel that their actions are always justified. For this reason, they would never like to be remembered for this type of hostile portrayal.
