Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
MikeC19 Being someone that enjoys the work of Stiller, Vaughn and Hill, this was something I thought would be pretty enjoyable. Instead, I found that there weren't many laughs to be found, though I enjoyed Richard Ayoade. I didn't know who he was at the time, but have since come to enjoy his work immensely! The main problem with this film, simply, is that it isn't funny. It confuses dumb, violent and sexual situations with humor. It was written originally as a Ghostbusters-esque PG-13 film, which probably would have been better, but was then rewritten by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who's work I'm not particularly fond of. Richard Ayoade was the best part of this for me, but even so, the crude humor just doesn't work in the film's case. Almost all of the jokes fall flat, or feel awkward and generally it just wasn't an enjoyable experience for me. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's close.
Miguelito2009 It's a story of aliens invading the world and one of them is defecting to the earthlings. Crazy situations and scenes. Believers that organize a watch. This is a movie to relax by, to put your brains on zero and enjoy. This movie makes you laugh. Some situations are created to make this movie believable and even this scenes make you laugh. Like I said, it's a movie to relax by.
Ahmed Okasha Ben Stiller , Jonah Hill & Vince Vaughn in one movie and I didn't even laugh for once and what made me more disappointed that Seth Rogen is one of the the writer of this,god forgive me, movie. So it is a complete crime.there is nothing wrong with there acting but there is so many wrong things in their script, not even an move or a word that made me laugh. So I am asking for a trial by combat to the creators of this disaster.the only good thing that I can see in this movie is nothing but the acting which is normal for such a crew.Even the aliens design is so traditional, if there is a little funny thing about them is their weak-point. The visual effects of the explosions was a total rubbish.My rating is 3/10 and those 3 points are only for the acting and the effort that done by the actors .
Python Hyena The Watch (2012): Dir: Akiva Schaffer / Cast: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Richard Ayoade, Rosemarie DeWitt: We have two factors here. We have an alien invasion that first strikes at a Costco where a security guard is found splattered throughout the discount sections. Then we have four males who assemble and set out to conquer the problem only to discover that their foe is from outer space. Ben Stiller leads the group as the Costco manager whose background has him involved in numerous support groups. His big hang up is that he cannot get his wife pregnant. Vince Vaughn plays a father whose teenage daughter is involved in a relationship that he forbids. Jonah Hill plays a guy who failed to become a cop. He still lives at home with his mother where he pretends to be independent. Richard Ayoade plays a new neighbour who brings forth comic bewilderment as well as a great plot twist. To be fair, the concept here has appeal but this is no Ghostbusters. The subplots allow the characters to have background, however they are also pointless to the central plot. We know that the climax will be over the top violence with a security guard getting his heart ripped out. The special effects are familiar but work within the alien conventions. The actors are completely type cast but they will appeal to hardcore fans. Smaller roles are another story though. Rosemarie DeWitt plays Stiller's wife and a host of others make brief cameos. Ghostbusters has a more specific agenda with its reality fantasy worldview but fans of the comedians are the one who will desire to watch this spectacle. Score: 5 ½ / 10
