The Naked Gun (2025) Teaser trailer

Glad to see the good reviews here. Three separate people I know saw it opening weekend and they all hated it, with one saying it was the worst movie they had seen in a long time. All three of them love comedy, so their reactions dissuaded me from seeing it. But now I think I will give it a chance.
 
Saw it last night: Loved it!

What I really liked was the fact that they kept the same type of humor as the original Naked Guns but didnt recycle the jokes (there were a couple of quick references though that were funny). At times it almost felt Austin Power-ish (for those who've seen it you know the scene I mean); but overall it was hilarious and a great job.

Well, comedy can be a highly subjective thing. Certain types of comedy might not work with everybody. I'll say this though. I felt they had done a very good job of capturing what made the original movies so special. They nailed the tone and the jokes. And they've managed to update the series while keeping the essence of the original movies, which to me is a sign that those in charge understood the assignment.

I honestly felt it was one of the best comedies I've seen in awhile.
 
I remember watching Airplane during the pandemic with my daughters (then aged about 13 and 11) and they just didn’t get the humour at all. I first saw it aged 12 and howled all the way through it.

My mom took me to see Airplane in the theater. I was 10. The gratuitous boob shot came as quite the shock to both of us. I'm surprised she didn't drag me out of the theater immediately. LOL.
 
My parents stumbled onto "Airplane!" while channel-surfing a few weeks ago. They're rarely the types to rewatch a film, and acknowledged they've seen this one at least ten times before, but they still rewatched it and still thought it was great.

If younger folks can't appreciate it, that's their loss. For me and my parents apparently, it will always be one of the greats.
 
Did they do the classic opening titles gag? I hope so.

They've kept the best for last, or so the saying goes ;)

And for those who haven't liked it, I have to wonder if they were familiar with the original movies. It helps to have a frame of reference sometimes, and if they haven't liked those either, then it's easy to see why they wouldn't like them, as it's done such a good job emulating those past movies. Maybe it's less the movie and more the style it's going for they don't like.

It was ok. I did enjoy it, it wasn't a patch on the originals but that's not to say it's not fun to watch
 
We saw it last night.

There were a couple of things that didn't work for us (Snowman, Weird fight scene at the arena), but there were some things that had us laughing hysterically (the body camera scene especially).

Pamela Anderson was adorable.

Overall, worth the effort.
 
Yeah, admittedly the snowman scene was weird. It felt like it had been made for an entirely different movie.

And Pamela Anderson's role was a surprisingly good fit for her. She seems to be going through a reinvention.
 
Agree I didn't find the snowman scene at all funny. Didn't really find the coffee gags funny. The body heat camera scene was very funny, although we have seen it before but i can't recall which film when they were in a backlit tent.
 
Austin Powers most immediately comes to mind.
I saw the movie last night and Austin Powers was the first thing to come to mind during that scene. That was the scene I laughed the most at. I enjoyed the movie overall, but I wonder if Neeson was trying too hard to have that deadpan delivery. With Nielson, it just seemed to come Naturally (I think Airplane might have had something to do with it) but with Neeson, it seemed like he was a little mis-cast in the role.

I dunno, it seemed quite natural to me. I think it might just be his deep voice. I think his voice is deeper than Neilsen had and a bit of a dryer delivery. I can't really think of anyone who would have fit better.
