whaaaatt

Absolutely had to get this according to all the " in" people.
Well , I have to take their "taste" from now on with a grain of salt.
Am open to all kinds of movies ,from drawn out superslow Swedish art movies to bang em up vitrol violence ,and this is some kinda Kult movie ?
Guess I'm not joining
Dull and boring
Lost half my brain trying to find something to give me a smirk
Most of the sex scene we already did at grade six in art class
with the teacher looking bored to death

Crazy puppet show

Team America: World Police Uncensored and Unrated (2004)
This film is everything I expected to be since it was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It's very obscene, vulgar, witty, grotesque, purposely cheesy, and humorous. I hope young children do not come across this movie and watch it. It's very violent and sexual. It's definitely for a mature audience. The scene where Gary and Lisa have sex was so long and over the top, which made the whole thing funny, but I found it gross at the end. Also, the scene where Gary is drunk and depressed outside of the bar is gross. Was the length of that scene necessary? I get it: he can't hold his liquor. But that's Trey Parker and Matt Stone humor. How could I expect less? This movie does well in targeting everyone surrounding the involvement with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, such as the celebrity activists, etc. This movie took a serious issue and tainted it all with sarcasm. I think it wouldn't have worked with anything but puppets. The puppets were the key to making this work. They made everything silly and satirical. The fight scenes reminded me of MTV's Celebrity Death Match. The first, I guess you would say: fist fight, was funny due to the limited mobility of the puppets. I found it funny that Team America kept using the word valmoriphication to embellish the transformations of Gary and the limousine. The soundtrack, pure filth/knock offs, but I find some humor in it. The funniest song was Montage. I liked that one. All the others are crude and offensive. Nice job with the patriotic country songs though. The battle scene with the Koreans in the jets over the water reminded me of some scenes in the SpongeBob Square Pants series. They were created the same way. A few details of the movie can be referenced back to South Park. Details such as, the puppet of Matt Damon saying only his name like Timmy does in South Park. My overall rating for this movie on a scale from one to ten is three. I didn't think it was that hilarious as it was meant to be, just clever.

Oh please ...

Humor is the saving grace of Planet Death (a.k.a. "Earth"). The "humor" in this claptrap film, however, was actually painful to experience. Should have been titled TEAM COMA.

A brilliant satire

Before I go any further I like to mention that I'm this from a british point of view, I don't like South Park and I'm not a major fan of american comedy's, but this film was a big surprise to me. Because it made me laugh all the way through, at the pure sillyness and ability to make a taking the piss at anything and anyone as well as cranking every sterotype up to 11. I know that sounds a bit like South Park, which it probably is. But it uses the same kind of funny in a diffrent and better way for those who don't like it. For those who don't know the plot line, the simple plot is you put in your "stereotypical" gun-ho american, into a special service's team, who try's to defend the world from all the bad people of the world. Including the actor's guild, which gives the perfect chance to use certain actors/actresses "stereotypes" to make a joke. Personally I think it's done really well and if you going to watch a american comedy, you should give this a go.
