Recep Ivedik 5

Recep Ivedik is a portray of ordinary Anatolian Turkish citizen living in the "big" city, who is conservative, churly, non-compliant and uncouth.

This caricature-like character of a Turkish male figure disturbs some middle-class English-speaking internet-aware former Anadolian immigrants because either they used to be a 'Recep' themselves before migrating to the big city or they have one or more 'Recep's in their own family. For them, rating this movie as 'TERRIBLE' is way of expression, stating that 'I'm not a villager Recep any more'.

You will never read a comment from those who honestly enjoy this comedy because ordinary Turkish citizens can't read-write English and they're not aware that IMDb ever exists. They will never be able to rate and post comments about how they laugh with Recep Ivedik movies and enjoy watching him.

I think Sahan Gökbakar is a brilliant comedian and he knows what Turkish citizen really likes. That's why all Revep Ivedik movies make great money. Characters like Recep Ivedik actually exist in our lives and they are everywhere.

Obsessively hating Recep Ivedik and Sahan Gokbakar became a common reflex among those people who are actually real-life Recep Ivedik personalities themselves.

Well, firstly, it's not that bad. This movie and the other Recep Ivedik movies in general doesn't deserve these harsh satires.

Let me ask, what had you been expecting from it right before watching it? Basically, what do you expect from a movie that shows the vulgar side of the people in the narrated country? They say "Aw that sucks. That movie is really bad." And why is that? Answer comes "That is so bad to use these sexual words, swears, disgustingness for a movie, aw that's so awful, etc..."

These factors does not make a movie "awful" as you say. They don't make it "terrible" as well if you are talking about a movie that's all about vulgarity since it's goal would be that already: being vulgar. That's what Recep Ivedik do. Exerting rudeness to the audience and he exerts it rather good in most of his movies (not in all his movies, not at all). I'm not saying that Recep Ivedik is a perfect movie series to watch. Just not too shabby...

What i don't like about the movie is it's exaggerations. In some scenes exaggerations surplussing the vulgarity. And yes, some scenes are awful really because of that. It's the worst part of the series.

And i wanna add this. People that give themself the "white collar" status: "The Elite People" in Turkey thinks it is so much rudeness. I guess they are rejecting it even they are living it every other day, sadly.

To make a long story short, Recep Ivedik deserves a little bit more.

If it was a TV series on child channel for 5 - 12 years old kids it would be very popular otherwise as a movie to watch in Cinema not worth at all. I strongly do not recommend to loose time on this simple comedy show. Besides, watching this series makes the owner think he is doing a great job however he is spending his best years on this kind of childish shows instead he can improve himself to record much worth things. We trust you Şahan! You can do better!

I will not say that this film is fantastic, since many parts of it are very boring and exaggerated. In the meantime, this is the general culture of Turkish people to exaggerate dramas. OK, if you evaluate this film with the general trend of Western culture, you may not understand why people like this kind of cinema. I would not give critic to them because they are lost in different cultures and cannot imagine one second that they don't really understand Turkish culture. Some scenes are very funny and I would recommend you to see it at the cinema. Don't trust main other reviews. I even suspect them to not have seen the film!!

This movie is a film that kills Turkish cinema culture. It tells the life style of uneducated and lumped people, which is predominant in Turkey. Concepts such as brutality, profanity, peasantry are praised in the film. Because it is a popular character and the production company has close political affiliations, the film is being spoken in local states.
