      Not worth the money.

      The movie theater closest to my home has discounted movie tickets before 12 noon, so I went today. There are quite a lot of movies worth looking forward to recently, but why did I choose this one?

      The fake advertisement at the beginning is quite similar. If the content was not too exaggerated, I would have thought it was a real introduction to another movie. Although the film is also interspersed with witty and witty, the main thing is typical American humor: laughing through...

      It’s so fun that it can’t be any more fun, and it’s full of stars

      In 2009, the 81st Oscar Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

      This film is a gathering of stars. Remember that 1998 "I'm Crazy for Mary", that actor Ben Stiller, now actually screenwriter, director, starring in this film, ha ha. When Robert Jr. commented on "Rain Man", "Forrest Gump", and "I Am Sam" in this film, I laughed.

      This film specifically introduces a supporting role. Kurt Russell Kurt Russell, the forever "Soldier". Can only say that the hero is...

      Apart from the plot, the acting skills are pretty good

      It mainly depends on the acting skills of Little Robert and Tang’s brother and Stiller. The image of that idiot is indeed quite funny... Some spoofs are okay.

      but! ! ! ! ! !

      The movie is two hours long, and the remarkable content is estimated to add up to less than half an hour... This is the most failure! The main plot is really procrastinated and nothing to watch, the plot is quite failed and boring...the essence of things is really too few

      Here are some classic...

      Laughing to heartbroken and cramping! Iron Man Downey, a historic breakthrough in Mission Impossible Soup acting!

      Before incarnation of the Iron Man heartthrob, Robert Downey had a life trough. Before the electric shock bounced back, he starred in a big thunder film "Tropical Thunder". In it, he played a neurotic actor who was stuck in the role and couldn't extricate himself. In the film, he also deliberately wiped his skin color black...

      Wrong order

      Before watching this film, watch a detailed introduction, including behind-the-scenes and tidbits, which will help the understanding of the film.

      I saw it for more than a third before I understood it. The drama is getting harder and harder now. In other words, American dramas are becoming more and more deliberately obscure than ordinary Chinese. . . With so many modifiers, I'm afraid of people shooting.

      The first three advertisements will be easy to understand after reading...

    Positive view of

    "Tropical Thunder" shows a dislocation of time and space. This film can still be viewed as a Vietnam War movie. It is more to provide a chaotic environment so that the actors can play freely. The incredible is the greatest charm. The film More is full of comedy, full of hilarious plots.  (Sina Entertainment Review)
    An action comedy that combines subtlety and satire. ("Hollywood Reporter" review) In the most jaw-dropping scenes of...

    Negative View

    "Tropical Thunder" has too much thunder and too little rain. A parody of a war movie, a small pinhole filled with Hollywood arrogant helium balloons. (Review of "Times") It is undeniable that the film can make people laugh, but the laughter is mostly empty.  (Comment on "Variety")
