Umm... what to say about this movie?
It's good, but not as good as I set my hopes for, but it is still a good movie after all.
Yeah, the trailer did show all of the funniest part of the movie.
The story tell about Bob(Ewan McGregor)a journalist, his life changed when met Lyn(George Clooney)who claims himself a former US Army's New Earth Army, who trained to be a physcic spies during the Vietnam War. These army were trained to develop a range of skills such as remote viewing, walking through walls, killing with a glance and so on.
Acting of Ewan, my opinion is nothing special,maybe because his character is not set as a funny person? And for Clooney, as good as always!Expecting for his next movie!
If anyone has some knowledge about the US Army, you would found that this movie is really funny- for being so sarcastic, sneer at the US Army and government.
I'm actually watching this movie by viewing it as a comedy like Burn After Reading was, keep comparing the movie with Burn After Reading. It did have some scenes that as 'fei' as BAF, which can make the audiences哭笑不得. Eg: when the army show their 'superpower'... So hilarious!!
And also the ending showing the punishment to the Iraqi pows, forcing them to listen to Barney's I love you song for 24 hours non-stop. Those who alert will understand that this is really happened in actual life, maybe not Barney's song, but it did happened, it is not a joke.
What I'm really impress and salute to the America is they are really liberal enough for letting their people to express their feelings and opinions in different ways, thus result to the production of The Men Who Stare At Goats. Real Cool~
If there are 5 stars rating, this movie worth 3 stars.
p/s: Hy, fast fast go watch!
