I had forgotten how funny this movie was. Great to watch, the actors are doing their best at being funny.

My first impression about this movie: too much overrated and hysterical. Check other parodies, like Dr. Strangelove which is shoter and much better than this.
November 21, 2008 So what did some of you people do- Get tired of surfing porn all night and decide to jump on the bandwagon of people that have bashed this movie because the critics originally bashed it?? I can watch this movie over and over- What's not to like?? Because some of it is slapstick?? Because it's not PC?? Because it's not deep-seeded intellectual humor like the latest Adam Sandler trash??? This is a great movie with outstanding (for the time) special effects, great characters, and lots of funny scenes! I especially love the drunk lumberjack (Slim Pickens) trying to chop down a Jap Soldier (in camoflage as a pine tree) and Belushi falling off the wing of his plane! My name is Wild Bill Kelso- and don't you forget it!!
November 7, 2008 | | Bad movie, even worse DVD | |
It's pretty much agreed that "1941" is Steven Spielberg's career low. He himself called this movie his failed attempt to make a National Lampoon flick. This film is full of gags and would be jokes that bomb (pun intended). As a matter of fact the only funny scene in this movie is the introduction which is a clever parody of Spielberg's own "Jaws". It's a shame really, considering this movie starred such big names of the day such as John Belushi, John Candy, Dan Ackroyd, Tim Matheson, and others.
But enough of bashing a movie that's already been bashed to death.
If there is anyone who wants to see this movie out of sheer curiosity, they might as well skip this disc. The DVD is presented not in anamorphic widescreen but in letter box, which means if you have a high definition television the black bars at the top at bottom will take up about half the screen leaving a squat, yet wide picture. Also, the picture sound quality are dismal and flat screen TV's will pick up all the flaws, making this movie look like a VHS movie recorded off a TV station on the EP mode. This is a bad movie on even a work disc.
The only redeeming feature on this DVD is the "making of" documentary which goes into details of how the movie was a failure. The doc is actually more interesting than the movie itself which should never be the case. This is one to avoid.
November 2, 2008 | | Great Steven Spielberg Film! | |
This movie changed my life entirely. When I first heard of it, I thought, "since it's a Steven Spielberg film I thought it was going to be a movie really about world war II, but it actually was a parody of world war II films. Even at tHe begining of this movie, I laughed my bottom off! It also has a magnificent cast including John Belushi and Dan Akroyd. (a.k.a. The Blues Brothers) Although a very long movie, you will definitly enjoy it. I would even pay you to see it. But i'm not aloud to, i am only 11 years old. Please type your comments. And one thing SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
