Four Lions (2010)

Thanks for the memories!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A film not given its full credit due to its "controversial" content. From rubber dingy rapids to blowing up the internet to Barry (the most extreme member of the gang) it is hilarious. Will probably come with an advisory warning in the near future and what a shame that will be.A MUST SEE

By the look of the trailer, it seems like a great comedy ! I can't wait to see it, let's go! 2 minutes - and I am already laughing, heavy accents really add to the humour.15 minutes - the acting is amazing! Those jihad soldier wannabes idiots, they really look serious and genuine! It makes me grin even when I think about them haha.1h 17 minutes - it feels like the movie really slowed down with its humour... It's not boring, but not as good as it was at the beginning, that's for sure.OK... So when I have started watching it, my hopes went really high... it looked like it's going to be an amazing comedy. Unfortunately the humour was slowly fading with every minute after the first half of the movie. It was completely gone by the end of it... I had a feeling that they just run out of all possible, funny ideas... They had to finish it somehow though... so they've changed it into a drama!I still recommend it, as the first half of it was really good... I just wish it would stay like that up to the end...tgchan's rating: 6/10

Now here's something well worth an open-mended person's time. Buffoons, for the most part impressionable wannabees, royally mess up while thinking they're doing something for the good of the world. If you dare, get out of your comfort zone and substitute their jihad for any type of fundamentalism that has an intolerant edge to it. Those groups or movements will attract the impressionable, the zealots, and the misguided dangerous people ready to explode their "fringe" positions. But this film is entertaining for its downright belly laughs of humor. Unfortunately, the sound editing and rapid fire (no pun intended) line deliveries make parts of it hard to understand. If you can tolerate subtitles, use them even if English is your native tongue. Otherwise, you may miss some really funny lines. Be prepared for an ending that gets sublime. It's really the only socially-responsible way to end this great work, despite it being a downer you'll feel while the smiles haven't yet faded away from your face. Chris Morris is superb as a writer and director, and he should continue tackling these tough subjects, AfroPixFlix sez.

When I read about this movie's release my first thought was that it was sick, too soon and probably incredibly offensive on every level. To my surprise when I actually got around to watching it, I thought it was a wonderfully judged film. The performances were uniformly good and the script was funny. To find offence in a piece like this is the viewer's fault rather than the moviemaker's. I was really amused by it all and it did not shy away from the horrors of terrorism either. A really difficult tightrope to negotiate was done with ease (at least it appeared to be with ease) I daresay Chris Morris worked hard to get it just right, because it would have been so easy to completely miss the mark and end up with a truly offensive item.
