Damnit! That's what I thought when I walked out of the theater. Let down. Will Ferrel is one of the funniest human beings on planet earth. This movie did not show that off. There were a couple times where he was his hilarious self, but for the most part, it just didn't live up to his "Step Brothers, Taladega Nights" movies. I mean, those movies you are laughing so hard its sometimes difficult to breath. I had no difficulty breathing during The Other Guys. Im really sorry to say but just don't see it. Unless you've really wanted to see it, or you have a bunch of friends over and there is nothing else, this movie is totally not worth it. Sorry.
I have been hearing people talk about this movie for a really long time and also been seeing people reading the graphic novel, and I am really glad I finally saw it. Obviously Nicole Kidman was amazing, I mean crazy, to understand what I mean you really need to see this one. The thing about it is its completely action packed, awesome fight scenes are all over the place, but it also has a very philosophical side to it. This blend of components allows it to be really entertaining, the ending is satisfying, and it's even funny at some parts. The only thing I didn't like, (and this is just my opinion it's not a mistake or anything) I didn't like the intense imagery used at some parts of the movie, I think they were trying to make references to past events and they could have made it more subtle. basically they should have trusted that the audience would have figured it out, they didn't need to shove the idea in our faces. You'll get what I mean when you see it.
I'm going to keep the synopsis short because I don't like to give away too much, but basically it takes place in London, in the future, and the government isn't in good shape. And one guy doesn't like that. But it gets deeper you learn backstory the characters etc.
Great movie, really entertaining, also has a good message and makes you think. A lot. About society and stuff. Very good. If you need something to see, see this.
