Heartbreaking reviews


This was the comedy I was most excited about when I first heard about it; Monty Python back in action, voice work from the masterful Williams and a starring role for the always dependable and ultra-likeable Pegg... Right now it's sitting at 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. How could such a promising feature fall so hard on its face? Is it truly as awful as the reviews are saying?

I watched it today and I really enjoyed it. It certainly deserves more than 14%.

Sweet I will watch it now as if it is 14% at that tomato site I am bound to like it.

It's not awful, but it doesn't get above average. Some mild chuckles, mainly from Dennis the Dog (Williams). I've seen worse films this year

reply

For such a great cast its really very.....pleasant. Not laugh out loud funny, not wacky. Just very Sunday afternoon pleasant.

It could have done with Dennis the dog being introduced earlier. More Simon pegg abusing/misusing his powers. Rob riggle could have been shown to be a weirder and scarier than he was actually portrayed.

Joanna Lumley and Eddie izzard could have had bigger parts


But again had the cast not been as great the sense of disappointment would be lower

reply

No. It is hilarious. I saw it on release date, and every single person in the cinema was laughing. Not a single person there wasn't enjoying it.

It's a cute funny film.... nothing amazing... just a goofy fun movie. The answer to Simon Pegg's problem was obvious from the get go, at least to me.

But it was certainly watchable.

This movie is not just dumb, I found it very unpleasant on every level, basically. Feels like something someone might make a few decades ago. Might have worked then, but it's absolutely terrible now. 14 % is too good in my opinion.

Man, you must be fun at parties

And since when all there is to seen actually on screen is anywhere near creative ?
For crying out loud, Disney pushed it into Tom Hiddleston's mouth -who can't say he doesnt know about littérature- that 'Ragnarok' should be looked at like a creative story.
(I had to read all my Dumézil and Boyer again to be sure I had ever read about North litterature.)
