Well now that i've watched the dictator, it wasn't really that good at all, i'm not a big fan of sasha baron cohen's work, I like borat but not to the extent that I was laughing my ass off. Bruno wasn't entertaining at all and don't forget about his first major film... Ali g in da house.
I thought the dictator could have made a difference between his others films. His usual line up of films him disturbing other people, playing games on them without even knowing and this was pretty clever but the dicator has a proper storyline and plot but in my opinion, the storyline was too cliche, it's the standard for james cameron films, make a film based on something and then create a love story entwined that involves one half not being able to go after the other half.
I was very very disappointed of the film, it failed to wow me and to be honest it was a waste of 3 pound... Thank god we went on cheap Tuesdays. Everything that was ha ha funny was shown in the trailers and everything was expected. There was a few clever jokes included like talking about the civil rights being a joke. i'm not the most racist man but even I found that the racism in the dictator was going too far.
Some of the funniest bits were really predictable not because I saw it in the trailers before hand but because they were easily guessing moments that any film maker could think of and it felt like they had no creativity towards the film.
Comedy films are way funnier if you don't watch the trailers because they give away most if the funny bits in the trailers. This is exactly what I did for hangover 2, I never watched the trailer and I found hangover 2 more enjoyable not that it was interesting in the first place because it was most of the same formula that was in hangover 1.
One scene that really made me awkward was a scene where he started playing with himself for the first time. Sure it was funny that he's never jacked off before but that scene was dragged out until you were cringing for the scene to go off. They used a video clip from forest gump where forest is wearing his leg braces and the moment when the leg braces start to break and tear apart.
The funniest bit of the film was when allaheed and natal were in the helicopter speaking in their native language while there was an elderly english couple. They were describing the porche 911 and the empire state building and the old english couple took it as they were going to blow it up and started screaming and aware the authority that they were going to blow up the statue of liberty.
Thanks for reading, if you're a big fan of sasha baron cohen and you don't want to lose the reputation you have for this man well... I'd say don't watch it.
