Iron Sky 2

After reading the other reviews - and after seeing the movie at its Berlin premiere - I have to say I find those reviews a bit too harsh.

Yes, it's probably not gonna win an Oscar but what do you expect when you read the story?

I think it's a decent B-movie and there are certainly worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your life.

The CGI work is once again very impressive and if you really want to critize something, it's the dialogues which can hardly be any more wooden at times.

Besides that it reminds a bit of teens having their first encounter with the other gender - a long build up with a very quick finish (pun not intended).

And if you watched the Q&A after the showing: I think we're all waiting now for the third part with Udo Kier as Nazi robot crocodile where only his lower part works.

Watch it!

OK the writing was weak, but this was an entertaining flick, for those with the patience to sit through it. If you didn't you missed some hilarious moments.

Moon Nazis, dinosaurs, eternal life, the Hollow Earth, reptoids, and the 10 or so well known rulers of Agartha, I mean it doesn't get any better than this, this is a conspiracy theorist's dream! Don't know why they wasted their money on Tom Green, my uncle Wayne would have been better in that part but I guess he was available since I haven't heard his name in over 10 years.

Less satisfying than it was just plain dumb, but look on the bright side.... its only 90 minutes long and you'll be able to tell your friends you saw probably the most idiotic "movie" ever made.

I gave the first Iron sky a 8/10. For a crazy plot it somehow all worked really well, good humor. Some likable characters. And it felt cohesive.

The sequel on the other hand feels like a bit of a mess. You can see the potential for a better film and it's pretty frustrating. The VFX for a 20 mil budget is pretty good. But the plot is just ridiculous and not in a good way like its predecessor. Most of characters were not funny and badly written. It doesn't make sense in really badly written ways that i feel could've been easily changed to make it a bit better than it was and not so by the numbers with plot holes that take you away from immersion in the wacky world they're trying to represent. Personally if i wrote this film, I would've taken it in a entirely different direction. All the pop culture references mostly didn't work as intended, instead of being funny it was just cringey. And the ending was just dumb and rushed.

But I didn't hate the film, I was mildly entertained, enjoyed the visuals/world they created and because i liked the first film quite a bit, perhaps im being a little forgiving when giving it a 5/10. I can understand why people would vote it lower tho.

A younger, high audience may get more enjoyment out of this. I'm getting older and don't smoke bud anymore. Perhaps that made a difference in my enjoyment, I dunno.

I'd say to give it a go if you liked the first film, make your own assessment. I can imagine there will be some people who will like it. Its definitely not totally terrible.

Possibly the stupidest film I've ever seen. I don't necessarily mean that's a bad thing.

I didn't expect much from a sequel to a movie about Moon Nazis, but they really pulled out the stops on this one. The first movie had a lot of dull moments with interesting, if campy, scenarios that made it a watchable film (but not memorable). This time around, the acting, environments, special effects and music all got much needed upgrades. With the exception of a needless subplot, I had fun with this and I didn't feel my eyes roll back even once in annoyance. It isn't a stellar movie, but it blows the doors off of any budget title or SyFy dross.
