Well, I went out with some compadres of mine this weekend to see Epic Movie. Coming from the same prese as the Scary Movie series *let alone from the same filmakers* my expectations were very hig.
For the most part, Epic Movie lived up to my expectations. The film is simply hilarious, especialy if you've seen every movie it mocks. I was even in shock to see some recent films like Borat and Snakes on a Plain make it in. The only problem, most of the humor died down a bit about 45 minutes into the film. Many of the jokes just didn't feel as fresh or exciting. The beauty of the Scary Movie series was that every five minutes, another film would be thrown into the mix. Instead, the jokes have a cut out point up until another half hour in. After this half hour of...ugh, the movie gets far funnier again. I don't know how many people noticed this, but the line the "White Bith" says before trying to kill Peter is the same stated by Voldemort in book four
.
Overall, a great movie. Not from start to finish, although still enough to get you and your friends creeping out half the theatre. Although, it just didn't feel as full as the Scary Movie series, we have something new and fun to stare at for two hours.
