Una pallottola spuntata

I just got out of The Naked Gun

This was not the laugh riot the reviews, promised. Its humour is very safe and is pretty inoffensive. I did laugh out loud quite a lot, but they were not belly laughs

Liam Neeson does his best and is solid, I loved his voice over. Pamela Anderson is game and the scene with her singing is excellent, she looked great, too. Paul Walter Hauser has a scent role, but isn't really given much to do, whilst Danny Huston hams it up as the villain and it's always nice to see Kevin Durrand, even if he is under used. There is a surprise cameo which made me smile.

I smiled a lot during this movie, it made me think of my Dad, who loved these movies. It is the most I have laughed in the cinema in a long time, but it's not up there with Tropic Thunder, Something About Mary, Four Weddings & A Funeral and The Birdcage, as my favourite comedies I've seen on the big screen!! Those had serious long belly laughs in the cinema, with everyone cracking up. There are not many better things than watching a hilarious movie, with a packed crowd. This wasn't it, for me.

Stay for the song during the end credits!!

"The Naked Gun" tries to bring back the over-the-top parody and slapstick chaos of the originals, but it never fully reaches the same level of comedic brilliance. There are some genuinely funny gags that capture the absurd spirit of the franchise, yet too often the humor feels uneven - swinging between clever moments and jokes that try too hard to land.

The cast shows enthusiasm, and a few performances lean nicely into the ridiculousness, but the flow isn't always smooth, leaving parts of the film dragging instead of keeping the laughs consistent. Nostalgia carries some of the weight, but the film could have used more fresh ideas instead of leaning so heavily on old tricks.

It's not a disaster by any means, and when the comedy works, it delivers the kind of silly fun you'd expect. But as a reboot of a beloved classic, it ends up being more of a decent distraction than a must-see comedy. A watchable but underwhelming return.

I got just about what I expected-but I was hoping for a miracle. And a miracle could have happened if they had stayed true to the spirit of the original films. The originals are a parody of classic noir/detective cinema, with Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin doing absurd things with a completely straight face-just like Peter Sellers did a few years earlier in The Pink Panther.

Even though everything around them is parodic (as are their actions), they themselves remain serious characters and see themselves that way. In this film, though, they let that go. They threw in a bunch of anarchic humor and unintelligent stunts-clearly, in my view, aiming to attract a younger audience.

And that audience seemed to enjoy the film quite a bit. We older fans, on the other hand, swallowed the lump in our throats and took some comfort in the solid performances of our beloved aging stars, consoling ourselves that it turned out relatively well.

Very rarely do you see a remake/reboot succeed in film. They may make a lot of money but they almost always fail to capture the same energy and passion as the originals. Most reboots are made for the express purpose of making you the audience remember the fun times of the original and purely serve to be nostalgia bait. This movie is not that.

It's pretty damn impressive the way the creators of this movie managed to capture the energy and tone of the original naked gun films to a tee. Without nostalgia baiting (while there are some fun callbacks) this movie stands on its own. To be a funny spoof movie in the classic vain of the Zuckers, one thing is the most important: Clever writing. You can't do a spoof movie like this without having constant bits and clever puns. These guys delivered. They came ready with tons of clever gaffs, sight gags, and quick puns that keep the audience waiting for the next joke. Couldn't nail the energy of a Zucker comedy better.

Casting was perfect. Pamela Anderson was a standout for sure. Liam Neeson was also the perfect person to play Frank Drebin Jr.

Overall incredibly funny movie that simultaneously pays homage to the original while also providing its own worth in comedy. Stellar job from this whole team.

If you're a fan of the original Naked Gun movies you will thoroughly enjoy this.

The old Naked Gun films thrived on Leslie Nielsen's charisma: his deadpan delivery could make even the weakest moment funny. That's why the news that Liam Neeson would star in the 2025 revival initially felt odd - he's not a comedy actor at all. But then again, Nielsen himself came from serious dramas, and the contrast is what made him iconic. In this film, Neeson does his best as the "serious man in an absurd world," and sometimes it works, though the magic isn't quite there. Some jokes land, others fall completely flat.

It was nice to see a respectful nod to Leslie Nielsen - a small touch that adds some warmth. Still, the movie feels mostly like a play on nostalgia: it's watchable once, with a few laughs along the way, but there's no real sense that it ever needed to exist.
