Not my favorite

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2004)

What can I say about this movie? Hm..... I have a few words, like boring, pointless, unentertaining... just to name a few mind you. Obviously, I didn't enjoy this movie, and that's an understatement. Maybe I wouldn't go as far to say that this movie was pointless, because it did have a message, if you are intelligent enough to catch it, or that is was unentertaining, because to some people, other than myself, this was probably a great movie.
Nevertheless, this is my review, so here it goes. Rather than tell you all the things I didn't enjoy about this movie, and trust me, there are quite a few, I'm going to focus on the only thing worth mentioning, Peter Sellers. Honestly, he's the only reason I kept watching, the versatility he has with acting blew me away. Playing three completely different characters, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, U.S. President Merkin Muffley, and the hilarious former Nazi genius Dr. Strangelove, Sellers captivates the audience with his range of talent.
Not only did Sellers do an outstanding job with his characters, but the characters he portrayed were the most vital out of the whole movie. The Group Captain, President, and Doctor, where the only characters capable of preventing the bombing of the U.S.S.R after General Jack Ripper orders his bomber wing to do the deed. Captain Mandrake was the only person in contact with Jack Ripper, President Muffley was trying to reason with the Soviet President, while Dr. Strangelove knows exactly what is going to happen if the bomb does in fact drop. So, do these three characters stop the bomb in time? You're going to have to watch the movie
