Blu-ray Reviews of Spaceballs (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)
Blu-ray Review: One movie I can say I've watched over and over again
Summary: 4 Stars
For all my reviews visit my website
I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
AND MAY ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER BE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!! Looking back to when I first saw this film, at first when he says "Spaceballs II, the search for more money," I thought he said "Spaceballs II, the search for Paul Bunyan." That...well, the original joke was funny enough, but if it was Paul Bunyan, oh the laughs of legend they could have pulled out of that. I do love this movie, it's total Mel Brooks. Not quite as good as Young Frankenstein, but definably one of my favorite Brooks films of all the times. Now, the only thing I got to say is, comedy does not get better with age (except for Paul Bunyan.) I'm not saying it's bad because it's a 1987 movie, I'm saying it's not as effective on me as it was the first time I saw it. Specially since I see the jokes coming, so you may get the sense of not the greatest review for this film.
What really startles me is the technical innovation (or some sort.) The scene where Dark Helmet and Kernal Sanders (you already get a sense of this movie from there names alone,) are watching Spaceballs on a TV screen, is magnificent. They were watching themselves as the action occurred. First off, that scene had to be incredibly hard to script. Secondly, that scene had to be impossible to produce. I could imagine maybe a hidden camera was linked to the TV screen, but it just seems BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE! The characters are awesome. But a character that really stands out too me only makes an appearance in one scene, and that is...THE ALIEN! XENOMORPH OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT! A new born alien makes an appearance...and...SPOILER ALERT he sings showtoons. It's dead funny.
Continuing on with the characters, Princess Vespar plays great as an even more spoiled Princess Leia. I mean, she wasn't THAT spoiled in the Star Wars movies, so it's good to see Mel could exaggerate something too the point of no return. Lonestar, actually plays sort of a younger Han Solo. That's the only real difference. I guess you could say Lonestar is a mix between Luke and Han. Not resulting in the best of hero's, but funny moments indeed. Barf AKA Puke takes Chewbacca down to lows that we could never imagine. I can't even describe him, sometimes he's really embarrassing, and other times he's kinda funny. But I never thought of him as the main point of the movie. Mel Brooks plays the new Emperor, and he does fantastic at portraying a world leader. Somebody who scrams all the supplies he can for himself and doesn't understand how to make decisions...yep.
Kernal Sanders...well...he's not exactly the Kernal Sanders of legend. He is just Dark Helmet's lackey, but he pulls off some pretty awesome jokes. (DO SOMETHING!) Dark Helmet, again I felt wasn't exactly the strong point of the film, but he does play a lot better than Sanders or Barf. He plays the ridiculous Darth Vader...enough said. That scene with Ludicrous speed was absolute genius, but extremely un-realistic. The female C-3P0 (what was her name?) She plays...ugh... a female C-3P0! What can I say? And she does a good job at it. Of course, your wondering who my favorite character is, and, I'd haft to say either Mel Brooks' character or Yogurt. Yes, a golden Yoda who calls the Force the Schwarz(enegger). And a very Jewish one none the less. And believe me I know, I'm Jewish.
So is Mel Brooks the last time I checked. Anyways, the jokes, I'd love to talk about but I'm afraid I'd spoil the movie to no return. So, I'll give it a rating right here and right now.
The Rating? Hmm...4.4/5
Description of Spaceballs (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)
The farce is with you in this "uproarious salute to science fiction" (The Hollywood Reporter) that teams comedy legend Mel Brooks with an all-star cast of cutups including John Candy (Splash), Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) and Bill Pullman (Ruthless People)! When the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) attempts to steal all the air from planet Druidia, a determined Druish Princess (Daphne Zuniga), a clueless rogue (Pullman) and a half-man/half-dog creature who's his own best friend (Candy) set out to stop him! But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed, they'll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical power of "The Schwartz" to bring peaceand merchandising rights to the entire galaxy!Bestsellers in DVD
