I feel like comedy movies especially are review proof for me. But I've been liking the trailers and looking forward to the movie. Sadly I have to wait a bit to see it.

You... liked the trailer? Huh. I like to think of myself as a fan of parody films but a certain series from the 2000s era killed it. I'm always up for more comedy movies though, the good ones never do well at the box office smh --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

So Im going to give Liam Neeson a chance and believe hell nail this role in this movie.I'm willing to give him a shot, I just remain a little apprehensive because of his interviews. I think he can pull it off, to be clear. Like, Leslie was not known for his comedy, but you saw him in pressers and whatnot and the dude was charming. Every Neeson interview I've ever seen, the dude is a goddamn charisma black hole. Conan couldn't pull a good interview out of him. --- He/Him http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://i.imgur.com/M8h2ATe.png https://i.imgur.com/6ezFwG1.png ...

thronedfire2 posted... this is suprisingYeah I saw some people complaining about him being in this also. From the beginning when I heard the announcement I thought he could actually pull off Naked Gun style of humor. He's been pretty good in his little comedy bits. Sadly I cant see the movie until it releases here on the 12th. But that's also when Nobody 2 comes out and I look forward to that one even more. --- Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint. ...

I actually saw a clip of an interview Liam Neeson did about this movie where he talked about how he was asked to play everything completely straight. Like others have said, the comedy isn't him acting the buffoon, it's him acting like the dude from Taken or whatever when the situations around him are ridiculous. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

sabin017 posted... I'm hoping they didn't market it properly and very little of the good stuff is in the trailers (see: Kung Pow)Watched a few hours ago, I'd say it's closer to a Kung Pow situation. One or two of the funnier moments made it into the trailer, but there are just SOOO many jokes, quips, gags, etc. I laughed really hard 5 or 6 times, chuckled most of the way thru. Some of the jokes in the trailers didn't land for me, but were a little better with context and the fact there's other stuff to potentially laugh at. They're basically firing a shotgun off.
