Very well executed
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View Moreit is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreI'm a big fan of RLM and have been for a while, I got this for my birthday and laughed the whole way. As a film, it's definitely not that good, but as a comedy by these guys, it's better than I'd expected. I gave it such a high rating purely because I had lots of fun watching it and I'm beyond happy that I got it. 10s come from filmmaking masterpieces in my reviewing, this perfect score is because I expected them to make fun schlock and got super schlock, it got a 10.
... View MoreI love RLM and was really looking forward to this. This movie was hard to watch, but since I payed $25 for it, I had to watch it. Watching it felt like sitting in a doctor's waiting room for 3 hours. The commentary track was more entertaining than the movie itself. It surprised me a lot that RLM managed to make so many mistakes even though they should've learned from the mistakes of other film makers since they criticize them in Half in a Bag and Best of the Worst like real professionals.The 2 main characters in this film were horrible. They weren't even real characters. I managed to accept Rich Evans' over-the-top Space Cop performance as it seemed so ridiculous that it kind of got funny again. Mike Stoklasa's detective from the past though was just painful to watch as it seemed like a cynical attempt of playing a comic relief character without any mentionable character traits. I guess Mike was aware of the shittiness of his character and felt no need to hide this. I feel bad for the other actors, because they could've turned this movie into something great would they've played the lead roles as well. Or maybe everybody else was acting too well and made especially the RLM gang look bad? I think Jay did a good job even though he seems way to nice to be a villain-ish character and fell short when acting with the real actors.The movie as a whole was entertaining in certain moments, but boring and shameful to watch in many of the others. They often tried to be funny no matter what and sacrificed the credibility of the world they've created. As many lines were improvised there were loads of long tripod shots which made it obvious that they were on a set. More cuts and close ups instead of tripod boredom would've made this much better and less boring to watch (and much more work to edit). A shame that they cut out the ghost of Jack, which was part of the deleted scenes.Nonetheless what they've managed to accomplish is highly impressive to me. The sets, costumes and special effects are dope! I hope on their next film they'll prioritize character building and action scenes a little more so it's not too focused on acting. Also they should make use of green screen technology more often to avoid monotone and lifeless sets.
... View MoreI don't think this movie is anybody's idea of a classic, but if you're a fan of RedLetterMedia (like myself,) you can't go wrong! There were several laugh-out-loud moments, despite the fact that we weren't really treated to the angelic laughter of Mr. Rich Evans himself. The special effects were surprising well done considering the budget and intention of the film. All of your favorite hack/frauds are there, even Susan! Additionally, as a fan of supplementary materials, I found the behind the scenes stuff and commentary interesting. After viewing the movie, I was left with only one nagging question. Is Space Cop replacing Best of the Worst?
... View MoreTo say that this movie was awful, abysmal, appalling or atrocious would be incorrect as this movie (on Bluray !!!!!!! what?) is far worse. I cannot think of a single adjective in the English language which would give the reader even a slight inkling as to how inane and puerile this thing is (I cannot bring myself to label this BoS as a movie).I was fortunate as to be able to skip-view this (took about 5 minutes) with brief plays of about 10 or 15 seconds. That was much more than enough to determine that I actually spent 5 more minutes than this turd deserved.Avoid, as in avoid like the plague.I did learn something though, now I know of the existence of RLM. Judging from this movie this is akin to knowing about Ebola .... just say no, don't, avoid, run for the hills ....
