Valutazione di remingtonresearch-1
I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this movie. I can't get the "Team America" theme song out of my head and have to be careful telling people about it.
The movie deserves its "R" rating. Indeed, the Parental Control website "KidsinMind.com" awards Team America the highest scores possible (which means it's really "bad") in it's three categories of Sex and Nudity, Violence, and Language - ever reminding you that even though the belly dancers in a middle eastern bar scene are "wooden puppets," they still "show cleavage."
It is a movie of extremes, but if you watch it in the knowledge that it contains extremely crude language and images, the comic genius will rise above and beyond that reality.
It's worth watching more than once, if only for the songs that pepper the movie - pay close attention to the lyrics.
I remember the marionette TV shows the sixties and it is an interesting medium in which to tell this story. Let's just say the marionettes are more "liberated" than their 1960's counterparts.
The political extremes are also interesting. I consider myself to be moderate to liberal, but I found the lampooning of the liberal celebrities to be "on target."
The only "lampooning" of the conservative right that I could see was the whole idea of America being the world's policeman, but I doubt that true conservatives, especially the religious right, would tolerate the language "Team America" employs to achieve its goals.
So, take a chance. You can always turn off the DVD/VCR player.

This is not Camelot, not Excalibur, and definitely not Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
Purists will object to the either the diversion from the beloved legend or the propounding of a recently advanced (and much disputed) scholarly theory on the origin of the legend.
Since it is a legend we are dealing with here, the movie makers are free to put a spin on the story. The familiar names are all there - but some suspension of disbelief is necessary to enjoy the movie.
And enjoy it I did, despite the fact that I have a degree in history with a focus on English Medieval History. I know the facts, I know the theories, but this movie was a very watchable exercise in "what if" with some exciting action scenes and a twist of an ending.
And the movie made me interested in learning more about the new theory it propounds, as well as revisiting other bits of history (for instance, the Pelagian Heresy) that are mentioned in passing.
I was given this movie for Christmas and will probably watch it again, as well as lend it to my friends.
