Zoolander 2

[Pommygranite]

It's utter st.

Please don't waste your time or money.

I have no intension thanks. I switched the first one off within about 20 mins. Can't believe another one was made !!

Oh. :-(

I thought it would be funny.


I get unlimited cinema with my Cineworld card, worth a watch even for free?

I'dactually say no. It's that bad.

Oh that is disappointing, did you like the first one?

Yes quite a bit - liked it's quirky inside look at fashion piss taking charm.

This one has none of the charm, no killer one liners like the first one, no real jokes and it feels like they had more fun making it than they wanted anyone watching it to do.

It's boring and tedious and I feel a bit sad inside

I would equate it to Dumb and Dumber and Dumb and Dumber To.

I found Zoolander funny (Dumb and Dumber not so much!) thanks for the heads up. One to save for DVD and a few alcoholic beverages I think!.

That bad?!

That's actually the comparison which sprang to mind that I was going to ask you about when i saw your post.

Shame. Clearly some things should be left alone, D&D, Anchorman, Zoolander. Perhaps if the followups had been made a little more quickly after the first films to keep on a roll.

I sat there staggered at how bad it was and kept thinking 'yeah this'll get better surely' and it didn't. It got worse. And worse. And I felt bad for not laughing.

It's fking awful

[longshot]

That's a shame.
I think Zoolander is funny and have watched it quite a few times.

I wasn't aware of the sequel until last night on the Graham Norton show.
The clip they showed was bloody awful and I assume they picked one of the better moments to show.

Meet The Grandparents Anyone?

I'd like to add the Point Break reboot to that list. Absolute drivel, whereas the original is a guilty pleasure of mine.

[honest_delboy]

Would you say its better, worse, or the same as Anchorman 2 ?

Kermode's review of Point Break this week is really revealing about this. Apparently the Point Break remake is directed by the same guy as the first Fast and Furious. Says it all really.

[bexVN]

I didn't realise Point Break had been remade until I saw a clip being advertised yesterday

There is no way this should have been re made

[A10]

It would still be a crap film with a different title and character names, but to call it Point Break and claim its a homage, is insulting.

Avoid.

Worse and Anchorman 2 was terrible.

Back off Warchild seriously.

Cheers for the heads up.

Tried to watch the original on Amazon a couple of weeks ago but the aspect ratio was all to cock and I couldn't figure out how (or even if it's possible) to alter the streaming to the tv. (the tv setting had no effect).

At least with something like the Italian Job I (and I know I'm in a minority) think the second one was quite an enjoyable couple of hours. Jack st to do with the original, but a laugh nonetheless.

I'm actually perversely curious to see ZL2 now because DD2 really is the worst thing I've seen to trash its predecessor.

Punk. Quarterback punk.

I'm going to watch it later once home and very drunk after the rugby.
