One of my favorite comedies. The laughs just keep coming5/5

nr. 3 on my favourite-Mel-Brooks-film list. Hilarious, anarchic, absurd -you name it, he got it. What's missing in this very early work is the fine-tuning; compared to "Young Frankenstein" or "Spaceballs", the timing is not as perfect and the pace and look are - pedestrian? Still, highly recommended!

Yup Mel Brooks was a Genius! Writer, Director, Producer, Movies & TV.

 

And Yes I know he is still alive, but he isn't making these great movies anymore.

 

PS. What 3 - Are you forgeting he also did the Producers? Which is considered Great?

 

PS 2. I also liked High Anxiety - not perfect but a nice tribute to Hitchcock!

Producers is also hilarious but I like Blazing Saddles better. High Anxiety I didn't really find that captivating.

btw, I've got a soft spot for "Silent Movie", it's different from Brooks' other works but has its own charm.

Damn fine movie.  It's the level of quality parody so many movies have tried and failed to achieve ever since.

 

A+

Just watched this again, and it was even better than I remembered. Absolute comedic perfection. Few movies are as laugh out loud hilarious as Blazing Saddles

Blazing Saddles is insane in the best sense. It's fairly inconsistent and sometimes the commentary feels more mean-spirited than anything. That said, when it's funny, it's hilarious. The first two acts are just alright, but the third act... Miraculously, I had no idea what the third act entailed going into this, and as soon I realized what was happening, it was one of the most incredible feelings I've ever had in a movie theater. Cleavon Little anchors the movie really well, and Wilder does a great job being funny without stealing the show like he easily could. Blazing Saddles is a fun if only decent movie that has an absolute comedic masterpiece of a third act. Really incredible how much a great ending can make one feel a movie is better than it is overall. B
