This movie was far more enjoyable than the new mib, I’m so so shocked by this revelation. I thought this movie would be utter crap. I was laughing throughout the movie. I can see people not liking this film, because there are jokes that can be seen as “homophobic,” “racist,” or any other -ist word. I don’t fault anyone who sees this movie and thinks that. Everyone’s sensibilities are different. I just thought the jokes pertaining to that stuff in the film were tongue and cheek. I’m gay and I didn’t take any offense to the gay jokes. It’s an action-comedy and Samuel L Jackson is portraying a hyper masculinized character. So, it’s kind of expected. Im guessing this is the reason for the low RT score. Ive seen plenty of tweets from critics espousing that it’s so racist, sexist, islamaphobic, and homophobic. The only thing I will say is it actually does depict Muslims in a bad light. The other stuff were for comedic relief.
I give it an A. I guess mostly because I was pleasantly surprised.
