Corra que a Polícia Vem Aí!

What a pleasant surprise that movie was. It really brought back the humour and the spirit of the old movies while still bringing its own fresh flair to it. Not every joke might land but there are so many of them in the movie and most of them worked for me. It has been a while since I saw a movie so eager to make you laugh.

This sequel and reboot is a very fun ride with a lot of jokes. Some are laugh out loud hilarious, while others are just okay, but when a joke doesn't hit, the pacing is so fast you forget about it right away. Liam Neeson is excellent and hilarious as Frank Jr. His deadpan delivery works perfectly. There are also some great cameos and nice tributes to the original film and its cast.

Even though it is a comedy, the movie is shot like a serious crime thriller. You can really see the talent of the cinematography and the entire film crew, who clearly put a lot of care into every detail. Their work makes the movie feel sharp and professional, giving the humor an even bigger impact.

Overall, this movie is a great time that is absolutely worth a theater visit. It is also a must-own for me when it releases. Proof that Hollywood can still make a good comedy. With this and Spaceballs 2 on the way, we are eating good, and the future looks bright.

When I first heard about a remake of The Naked Gun, I honestly doubted it could capture the magic of the original trilogy from the '80s. Back then, the sheer silliness of the humor combined with the cheesy, over-the-top police story was a perfect match for its time. That unique charm belonged to its era, and I couldn't imagine any modern film recreating it.

The only way this remake could work, I thought, was if it embraced the same absurd humor while updating the world and story for a contemporary audience - something that could stand on its own, yet still respect the originals.

Now, having seen it, I can say that The Naked Gun (2025) is indeed a worthy remake/sequel to the original trilogy. The standout element is Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. He nails the comedic style of Leslie Nielsen without simply imitating him, bringing his own flavor to the role. Around 95% of the film's funniest moments come from him. While both Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are excellent casting choices, the rest of the cast unfortunately adds little to the story. In the old films, side characters were introduced with memorable flair; here, many feel misplaced. This is especially true of Ed, Frank's partner, who comes across as far too ordinary, and the villain, who is entirely forgettable.

The first 20 minutes are by far the highlight - packed with sharp, ridiculous gags that made me think the film could rival the originals. But after that, the joke density drops noticeably, and many of the later gags feel more forced. There are still funny moments scattered throughout the middle, but they rarely match the comedic energy of the opening.

Unfortunately, the ending doesn't land as well as it should. It feels abrupt, the jokes lose steam, and there's a sense that something is missing. Of course, the plot in a movie like this is never the main focus - but the story here still comes across like a formulaic Netflix production, in visual style also. This is where the originals still have the edge: they had more charm, more creativity, and a stronger sense of personality.

All in all, the filmmakers clearly understand the humor of the old movies. While the 2025 remake doesn't quite reach its full potential, it succeeds often enough to make me hope we'll see more films like this - perhaps even a sequel.

While not 100% capturing the true spirit of the original films, this movie does a great job at getting really close to it. Liam Neeson has performed above expectations in my opinion, and the movie flows well from start to finish. If you were a fan of the original three movies, I would recommend you take a look at this one as well - I can assure you that you will have a good laugh in the cinema.

Shame on all of us for presiding over the death of the studio comedy. Comedy movies, as of late, have existed only on streaming platforms. Not only that, but you could probably count on one hand how many "streaming comedies" were hits. Call it a lack of effort or call it greed, but it's been a decade since a studio comedy like this has come to a movie theater.

The Naked Gun 2025 is the very thing that was missing all along. We need funny movies. We need to laugh more. Laughter is a salvation. This film has lots of laughs. Though it is a Seth MacFarlane/Lonely Island collaboration, you wouldn't know it was one without prior knowledge. This is a Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker comedy to a fault. I really felt like I was watching one of their films. The non-stop puns and sight gags fly as ferociously as they did in the original trilogy. Liam Neeson is the absolute perfect successor to Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin. Pamela Anderson is spectacularly funny. Everything works. Really, hats off to everyone involved for taking the risk of bringing back this franchise for a generation that, largely, didn't grow up with these films.
