Want movies even funnier than this one big BORING pile of a mess??? Go watch "Rocketman" (1997), "Mousehunt" (1997), or "Johnny English."
One of THE most overrated films ever! I don't get it!!! I haven't written much reviews, but after seeing this film a SECOND time, I feel compelled to do so. I saw MANY reviews about how "great" this is, so I got the opportunity to watch it, first by Internet, next by classic VHS; and I will say it again, I DON'T GET IT!!! It never won any Oscars, and I totally understand why.
I found it neither funny NOR good! How can a movie about war, death, and the end of the world be "funny"??!!????
Pink Panther classic Peter Sellers stars in this film, and I swear has likely the stupidest accent in cinematic history, and acts all socially awkward & confusing.
Even Keenan Wynn (great & memorable in "The Absent-Minded Professor" & "Herbie Rides Again"), was brought in and - due to bad directing - was turned into a boring, monotone & weird character!
NOTE: One scene I did find kind of funny was "shoot the Coke machine to get coins out" - he does, and a little slapstick where the juice sprays out on his face. hat did get a chuckle out of me - but hey, even the worst movies can entertaining at one or two parts.
James Ear Jones??? Eh... he did okay. Still in a bad movie.
The war room scenes are long, drawn-out, and tedious, and the scenes in the airplane are repetitive and BORING!!! What is "so good" about this movie??? If it's all about the "direction", it certainly a direction that's entertaining or appeal to a general audience! And I'm definitely *never* recommending or showing this movie to anybody I know!
Someone please tell me, am I missing something here???????
Stanley Kubrick, very gifted, but used his gifts the totally wrong way for the totally wrong things. And just by LOOKING at him, you could tell his films were disturbing or antisocial. He looks like a serial killer!!!
PS: If you want a good "George C. Scott" film, watch "Rescuers Down Under" (1990), a Disney classic.
