MovieGoer: Jason - I'm Just Saying Article
On opening day weekend of the Hangover II, the movie grossed 137.4 Million, breaking box office records. Most movie reviewers where stating that this movie is not worth watching, that it is done bad and the plot is the same.
However, there is a difference between the critics that are the reviewers and the moviegoers. You can never under estimate the fans that believe in what is humorous to them. Seems to me that sometimes the movie reviewers lack the experience of what really is the point of the movie.
Here is what they seem not to understand. Moviegoers, including myself, understand a few things. We seen the first part of the Hangover and understand the plot. We understand they get roofied, we understand that they go on mission to try and piece together what happened the day before, and we understand they are trying to look for their friend. Most importantly, we understand the point of the movie is to try and make it to the wedding in one piece. This is the goal.
Now with all that said, what is it that movie reviewers thought should change in the sequel? Understand some movies need to keep the same format of plot as to make it similar to the others. This is what has made such movies as The GodFather trilogy, Nightmare on Elm St., and Star Wars a success.
If you where to see The GodFather and all of a sudden it turns into a comedy you will think the writers have lost their minds. If you where to watch Freddie rescue kids instead of killing them in their dreams, would the movie still be scary? Same with Star Wars, if you where to see a sequel take place on earth, have the battle on earth instead of space, would you still enjoy it?
The thing that is important is that they find a different way to get to the goal, which the Hangover II did very successfully. They took the same idea and worked a new way to get to the goal. I found this to be one of the funniest movies to have been released and well worth watching.
Once again, I’m just Saying.
