Transcripts
don't get me wrong I like this movie but
I know someone who hates it and I want
to break it down and see why so let's
look at the characters you have an
action star as the star of this action
series who wants to be taken seriously
so he tries his hand at comedy which
doesn't work then he takes part in one
of the worst movies of all time okay
let's talk about someone else a guy who
dresses up as different people who are
really fat and using toilet humor in his
MO ok let's look at someone else a guy
who is so into his character that he
will not be out of character into the
movie ends oh god damn son of a [ __ ] I
don't know if these characters are
paying homage to these people are
ripping them off entirely one of the
characters as a rapper playing the
soldier to represent of a batch guys at
least try to create some different
characters ok so let's look at the plot
so the movies about to move with those
running way behind production and it's
getting more and more expensive as time
goes on no no let's keep going and the
prima donna actors are dropped up in a
jungle not fully realizing which one is
the movie and which ones happening in
real life I will kill you and they're in
the middle of a drug country where one
of the actions have taken hostage but
their producer won't do jack [ __ ] about
it so that money will be made in the
active presumed death making money off a
celebrity death ok I'll give you that so
they fight their way out and make it out
alive of course well it turns out that
it's just a documentary about the behind
the scenes about shooting the movie
confusing does this movie any good let's
really think about it it's offensive to
the mentally challenged characters are
stealing from real life personalities
although they had it a little better
than what avatar tried to hide it stolen
plot the plot to this movie has been
done before but this time it's funny but
if you strip everything down it's
unoriginal offensive at just another
action comedy but it is better than
lethal weapons three and four I mean
probably the only reason people saw this
movie is because it makes fun of the
mentally challenged which the movie got
a lot of fire for this movie gets a lot
of fire for being more offensive to the
mentally challenged but Polly Shore in
the cast of Jersey Shore get a free pass
how's that possible
this is not like going to a pacifist
convention letting it Saddam Hussein
Osama bin Laden Charles Heston in there
but leaving Gandhi out I mean sure the
movies a lot of fun but it's still an
original I mean a bunch of the best
parts are in the trailer and the movie
does give a bit dour not as good as
everybody thought it would be but stamp
decent it's decent satire it's decent
action does that make it amazing no and
you can see how some people might hate
it and if you haven't seen the movie yet
you are [ __ ] late
