  1. Gory in some spots. I thought it was just OK.


  2. It was freakin' hilarious! Jack Black was the best, but really it was just too funny!

  3. "Tropic Thunder is a film that understands biting satire. It sets out to villainize the very people that made the film possible. It understands parody and it understands good comedy and delivers consistent laughs throughout. It starts out with a promising bang and from there, continues to revel in its absurdity and wit. The script is sharp and provides a great basis for the humor that spurs the film on, however, it's truly the actors that take it to the next level. Robert Downey Jr's performance as the lost Australian actor is perhaps one of the most standout performances in a comedy. Not only that, but Tom Cruise's Les may just be the engine that brings this film home. Its both ridiculous and a furnace of hilarity. But in all truth, the chemistry within the rest of the cast is undeniable. I would have to caution viewers, this film may not be what you're expecting. Ben Stiller's previous films and even his own written "Zoolander" are quite different from the tone and the visuals of Tropic Thunder. And its not just in the profanity or utter gore, its within the concepts behind the film. It dares to go into areas that are politically incorrect and what say may even find on the offensive side. Its not afraid to traverse the areas outside of hands-off comedy. Like I said, this could be satire at is very best, and its got the cast and the laughs to prove it. If you're a fan of balls- to-wall, brazen comedy that isn't afraid of the lines, this will be your cup of tea. You'll be laughing from start to finish and reveling in the ride. It's fresh and that originality carries it somewhere great. There is a total lack of predictability and its shies away from the clichés and THAT is something I think a lot of films haven't been ballsy enough to do."  

  4. By far the funniest movie of the year so far. They do a great job at spoofing how actors are these days. At the beginning they show fake previews for every character's upcoming movie, all four being hilarious. The action between Robert Downey Jr. and Brandon T. Jackson is absolutely priceless. Amazing cast, by the way, with smaller roles played by mega-stars. Matthew McConaughey as Tugg Speedman's (Stiller) agent and Tom Cruise as billionaire Les Grossman were perfect. All around great movie, and definitely worth the watch.

  5. Funniest movie so far in 2008
