after jack black said he would still do the movie even though ben stiller would not pay him his normal asking price, i had to see tropic thunder... and i'm just a huge fan of robert downey jr. and he plays "the dude, playin' the dude playin' another dude."
i liked the movie because:
1. i am a fan of funny movies which do not require much thought.
2. the cast? awesome actors. (funny, and convincing.) you could forget the actors (even though they're quite famous and had distinct acting trademarks or styles) and just focus on the characters they're playing.
3. the script? good. i liked it, because even though it was supposed to be a comedy, the script was not incredibly stupid... on the contrary, it was rather smart. i mean, some things they sarcastically poked fun at were serious stuff. the script, for me, was surprisingly original and fresh.
4. the special effects were good. i forgot it was supposed to be on a small budget. the setting was mostly in an asian rain forest. the explosions were realistic, big and grand.
5. the make-up was amazing! it took me a while to recognize tom cruise, who i did not expect would be funny. hehe:) and robert downey jr looked so different and convincing.
6. the comedic timing? i liked it. it was not boring, unlike most spoofs. the action scenes, jokes, fun/funny parts were equally distributed throughout the film. besides, its a combination of action and comedy, how can you go awfully wrong?
i'd give this movie 5 cases of beer! i liked it. so watch it and tell me what you think. :D
bite me.
