Would probably know to avoid this movie like the black plague. The first one was an utter disaster of a classic which also drags Martin's already dwindling career further down. What happened to Steve?? Used to be funny as hell now he is just rampantly destroying a cherished series... poor Sellers...

I have seen the original Pink Panther series and I find this new series to be on par. And better of some of the original Pink Panther movies (only half of them were watchable).
share" And better of some of the original Pink Panther movies (only half of them were watchable)."
You mean, 'better THAN'?
In any case, the original 'The Pink Panther' movie is a real marathon to endure, one of the most boring and painful movies to watch and try to not fast forward (I couldn't do it, I had to start skipping after the misandristic, bulgy-eyed whiskey-voice hag that wears 2 tons of make-up started claiming any man that doesn't imprison himself and condemn himself to 'eternal work-camp' by tying himself to naghag wife and kids is somehow INSANE, while implying that wife and kids are a REWARD instead of shackles).
So sure, I'd rather watch THIS movie than that first 'The Pink Panther' movie, even if the great Peter Sellers IS in it - he's not doing anything too interesting anyway, and the movie feels like it never, ever ends, it has so many opportunities to end, but it just keeps going.
Then it keeps going some more.
While there's truly no comparison between the two series of films, I still enjoyed Martin's interpretation. Sellers was much better though.
shareWell now Steve is doing nothing what does that tell you... He's retired to the banjo.
shareboth matins movies are better than peter'e crap, peter himself said that he made the crap panther just for money and that they are worthless
i mostly will not be able to answer your reply, since marissa mayer hacked my email, no notification
It's you again. You can't even spell 'Martin' correctly, so your lies are not believable. If you REALLY admired someone's movies, SURELY you could at least type their name.
Also, please learn english already, your posts are a PAIN to try interpret and convert to something legible.
You are telling the truth, so I must agree.
I am wondering the same thing, it's VERY hard to believe this is the same man that made me lough so hard I almost fell out of my chair in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' and some other stuff he's been in.
It's like someone replaced his soul with a talentless hack, so now actual Steve is gone, but his body is still here, animated by something other than the genius it used to be.
I mean, I can't understand what happened, so I am grasping at straws, but it IS such a puzzling mystery. One of the top 5 funniest comedians I've ever known about suddenly becomes among the top 5 UNfunniest talentless hacks I would never, ever want to see again.
What the F happened... and how?
If Hap is right, then it means Steven has sold something important, divine and true art just so he can buy crap some morons have fabricated, just because those things have a big price tag attached to them.
If your hobby or "passion" (yeah, right!) is 'buying', especially something that has to always be 'expensive', and then you even want something called 'art' in your possession, there's NO HOPE for you and you have no taste, clue or understanding of what creativity or beauty is.
Why buy an expensive, ugly bunch of ink and paint splashed on some fabric by some famous, talentless hack, when you can just go to actual nature and witness the most fabulous, DIVINE-created art in the world?
You can admire Hubble nebula and deep space, galaxy and planetary photos for free - what could be more beautiful and amazing art than THAT? Not to mention it's so big in scale, it's not even for sale (I don't mean the pictures, but the actual nebulae, for example)?
Anyone that thinks "art" is valuable, just because of a number written on a cheap pricetag, is a hopeless cause, clueless pedestrian, unwashed moron, and barbaric philistine. Money doesn't necessarily guarantee value, worth or goodness in something, but rich people seem to think it does.
There's a REASON some things are 'priceless'.
You can't buy a spiritual insight, inspiration or Zen.
In any case, 'art' is an actual toilet glued to the wall (someone did this to parody what others call 'art', but people took it seriously, so it BECAME 'art' - this tells EVERYTHING anyone should know about 'art').
Anyone that respects 'art' is an idiot who doesn't know what's going on in the 'art world' right now. A blank canvas called 'untitled' was sold for millions, if I remember correctly. A blue line on white background, just a completely blue canvas - these kind of things are called 'art', and they are HIGHLY valued in coins.
However, even a kid without no artistical sensibility whatsoever can tell the difference between something painstakingly created by Raffaelo and a toiled glued to the wall or just a blue line on a white canvas called 'Untitled'.
'Art' is anything you want it to be, so it CAN be a thing of beauty, but if it can ALSO be a turd stain on Pollock's work trousers, the word means absolutely NOTHING, at least nothing good.
If a toilet glued to a wall and a blue line on white background can be ART, then I don't want to associate that word with anything good. Steve Martin doesn't seem to understand any of this, so it pains me to say it, but one of my favorite comedians and people I USED to look up to is a horrible, cruel, selfish monster that doesn't give a crap about anything TRULY VALUABLE, and spends his money and our money that we pay for his crap movies for completely worthless causes and fuels the modern 'art world' that is a travesty in itself.
How low the mighty have fallen, how deep into the abyss they have shoved themselves in. I can NOT respect this !@%#hole any deeper than I can shove him up his own ar5e.
