*spoilers ahead*First, the man complains to God, so, God gives him what he wants - gives him His own power. Then, the God-man uses that power only to make the audience satisfied - he punishes the gang and the guy who took his place. And then, one stupid thing happens and he doesn't want that kind of power anymore. Really? If you can't manage it, don't make it. The script is too weak. You can't just make something like this a subject and throw it to the audience. The God-man got his revenge against the gang and the guy who took his place - and to do what exactly, make the audience happy?

Bruce almighty is just boring and bland. Jim Carrey isn't likable at all here, he is just boring and unfunny, I really did hate his character here. Morgan freeman was alright as God, he is good in theory as the almighty, but idk he was just a little blah, nothing too special. And then there's Jennifer Aniston, she was OK, I am an Aniston fan, but it's kinda hard to be a big fan of her in Bruce almighty, because like freeman, there just isn't much to her performance in the film. Also this movie is just hopelessly UNfunny, I mean I didn't even chuckle once during the entire film, and let me just tell ya, the movie is too long, the runtime is just simply too long. The movie should've been funnier, much funnier, especially since it stars comedic talent Jim Carrey, go figure. Bruce Almighty stoops to childish mediocre stunts to gain laughs, but fails miserably at it. Steve Carrel, another comedic talent, is in the movie, but he is a flop here as well. Boring, boring, and more boring. 1/10 for Bruce Almighty, just a flat out flop. Disappointing too, the movie had pretty good potential to be something funny, original, and intelligent. Maybe Evan almighty will be better, kinda doubt it though.

Released in 2003, "Bruce Almighty" chronicles what happens when God (Morgan Freeman) gives His powers to a complaining news anchor (Jim Carrey) and takes a vacation. Jennifer Aniston plays Bruce's girlfriend and Steve Carell his rival anchor; Catherine Bell and Lisa Ann Walter are also on hand.In my opinion this is better than 1977's "Oh God!" because Morgan Freeman is superior in the role of the Almighty. Plus, how can you go wrong with Jim Carrey? While the movie starts off rather dull it perks up as soon as Bruce (Carrey) acquires God's powers; and for a solid half hour there are loads of laughs. At the end of the second act, however, the movie sorta nosedives, but then recovers in the last act with some surprisingly moving and even inspiring material. The movie runs 101 minutes and was shot in Buffalo, New York City, San Diego and the Los Angeles area. GRADE: B

What would happen if a normal person got given god-like powers? That's the question this movie revolves around as Bruce, a down on his luck news reporter finds himself with said powers after he blames his misfortune on God. As Bruce comes to terms with his powers, he does what everyone would do- improve their life massively. Hilarity ensues, with monkeys coming out of butts, traffic clearing instantly, etc. Along with all the gags scattered throughout the film, it also gives a good insight into what would occur if someone came across such power, making you question if it really is such a good thing. This is clearly Jim Carrey at his finest- he expertly slips into the role of Bruce as if he was born for this role. The cast is great and the writing is greater- this movie is definitely worth viewing just to see Jim's character become overwhelmed with power. 8/10
