Hilarious and (Surprisingly) Thrilling!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2008)

Of course, I was drawn to this movie (as I'm sure many others were) by the big name actors; I'm a fan of both Black and Stiller, and thought that the premise of the movie looked absolutely hilarious. Thank GOD that I was right! Tropic Thunder is incredibly funny, full of jokes, scenes and lines that you can't help but laugh at. The actors do marvelous jobs, especially Stiller and Downey Jr. And, surprisingly, the action scenes were actually quite intense and thrilling, because, after the sudden and unexpected death of the director (Steve Coogan), you really don't know if someone's gonna die, unlike in some movies where you know deep down that everyone will be fine.
Although some parts are a bit corny, and others very gory, the movie really pulls it all together for an enjoyable, hilarious, and very very excellent film.
10/10!!!
