don't see it

bugsbunny04 · Oct 19, 2004, 02:15 pm

Im definately going to see it...after I drink a six-pack.

Mulkaccino · Oct 19, 2004, 02:52 pm

I saw it and loved it, but you'll only like it if 1)Enjoy Southpark like humor 2) Find the idea of dolls imporsonating humans is funny 3) Can stand 15 minute lulls of non humor and a couple cases of poor written humor. Otherwise it's a hoot and you'll never see anything like it again.

Suburbanite, I love you reviews though. I guess you could say they're very "strait to the point."

**Pooeypants** · Oct 19, 2004, 03:17 pm

Team America has had quite a lot of warming reviews and I loved South Park so I'm definitely going to see it.

Compugasm · Oct 19, 2004, 04:38 pm

My roommate saw it, said it was great. He even bought a movie poster. I thought it would be a huge success, because it's different and just plain weird. But I understand why it isn't.

A few years ago, I had this girlfriend who used to watch all kinds of old campy programs. Like, the original Batman, Dark Shadows, and Thunderbirds 2065. Thunderbirds is what Team America is based on. At first, I hated this show, but they kinda grow on you. The overacting and cheesy production values are where the humor comes in. You have to find the laughs.

So, I don't think it was a big hit, because it's a bit "ahead of its time" in it's retro concept, if that made sense. If your not a fan of that, it takes a while getting used to it.

I think the South Park movie was fucking hilarious! this movie sucks. Wait for it to come out on HBO, if you don't have HBO, wait 3 years for it to come out on Comedy Central late at night uncensored. DONT SPEND A CENT ON IT!

south park itself sucks
everything else I've seen the south park boys do is great
the highlights of this that I've seen are funny - so based on highlights/preview I wouldn't say it sucks

You enjoyed Baseketball?

I won't waste my money on it...

Is it as bad as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow?

That movie died choking on a turd and came back to life as a zombie. Plot holes galore. The movie must have been a good half-hour or so longer due to the weird gaps. Maybe it stunk more before it was chopped up. Angelina Jolie? They advertised her as if she was a main character. Try ten minutes tops in the film. Gwynneth Paltrow? A mannequin has more facial expression than her.

Sub, I will take your word and not see Team America. Advertisements are designed to show only the good parts. Take the word of someone that saw it over an ad.

There looks like there are alot of good movies coming out this week, mainly being Saw and Ray. In my opinion, Saw looks like it'll be alot better, not to mention scary as HELL.

Epistemologist · Feb 1, 2007, 08:30 pm

Ah, over two years later, you might be thrilled to hear there's Saw 2 and 3 out. Ray won some awards. And I haven't seen Team America, but I laughed at the trailers. Perhaps the trailers contained the only funny parts though. Wow why am I responding to such an old thread?

Maybe I'm just wondering if anyone's seen Team America.

notworthabean · Feb 1, 2007, 09:50 pm

I saw it, it was quite funny. disturbing and disgusting at points, but worth a see.

kubedawg · Feb 4, 2007, 10:38 pm

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Praxius · Feb 9, 2007, 11:37 am

I liked it.

The Bacon Guy · Feb 11, 2007, 02:50 pm

I give it a resounding "meh".

Jaaaman · Feb 11, 2007, 03:07 pm

It was a horrible movie. I turned it off even before I got to the half-way mark. :(

**Pooeypants** · Feb 14, 2007, 12:49 pm

I loved every minute of it, the best part is that they're ripping into both the right and left, everyone's a winner! Well, loser...

pandaz xx · Feb 16, 2007, 02:18 pm
