ThiefHott Too much of everything
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
types007 I couldn't believe the credits when it rolled. He is the man.
mukherjeesubham93 I had heard a lot about 'Tropic Thunder' about how hilarious it is along with being a sharp satire. A great ensemble cast also raised my expectations. It started great. The spoof trailers were Hilarious, especially 'Satan's Alley'. The starting scene is excellent. But I somehow found the rest of the movie, not so interesting. It is watchable, but not ROFL. RDJ plays Kirk Lazarus, An Australian academy award winning actor ( doesn't that sound familiar? *cough* Crowe *cough*) is hilarious with his stereotypical anachronisms of Africans. Ben Stiller plays Tug Speedman, a falling franchise star whose attempts at serious acting have failed. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a comedy franchise star who relies on toilet humor. Brandon T Jackson plays Alpha Chino ( Ahem!) And Jay Baruchel palys a novice actor. Sure, the satire bits work. RDJ's character mocks method acting. We get it, but still, is that where the fun ends? Frankly, I expected more. Tom Cruise though, in a cameo, brings in the best laughs, and brings the house down.Watch out for his dance in the end. Overall, I think it's definitely a watchable movie, but a wee bit overrated.
Craig Valentine In my opinion this movie was absolutely awful even if you exclude the low budget and how fake they made it. My great great Grandpa was in the army I bet he's turning over in his grave. This is the worst comedy I watched. Can't believe Jack Black and Robert Downy Jr. were in this they've done so much better. No surprise Ben Stiller and Danny McBride were in it. This is the third worst insulting comedy I've ever seen. I wish movies like this weren't allowed on IMDb I love comedy movies with a passion just not these bad portraying comedy's. I respect other peoples opinions. I just hope they never make a sequel. Third time I've ever been this disappointed in a comedy. Jack Black and Robert Downy Jr are two of the great actors they could and have done better.
Sam Fischer This is one of those movies that you will be quoting for the rest of your life with your friends! Tropic Thunder is a great satire that I was honestly expecting to be terrible. The story was actually perfect to make fun of action movies and Hollywood. The situational comedy was genius as these actors were forced to actually survive a war like setting. The action scenes themselves resembled really action movies and were nicely done. They added the action in with the hilarity, and all of it worked perfectly.There were two characters that really stand out. Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise were both comedic gold! You won't recognize either of them, but they fit the roles fantastically. Some people find Downey's character to be inappropriate, but please take it for what it is supposed to be. Downey Jr was making fun of method acting and taking that concept to a completely new level with this role. I didn't realize Tom Cruise was in this until the credits. He is in a role that I never thought I would see him in. He is outrageous and over the top. His scenes are some of the most memorable from the movie.I don't want to give too much away since I don't want to spoil any of the comedic gold. Just know that you will be kept laughing the entire time, and the movie will just keep getting better. This is a great watch and definitely worth your time; 8/10.
