Iron Sky: The Coming Race

The Earth isn't hollow, but this movie is

Not hard to see why the franchise has bankruptcy written all over it. I met Reni Harland before he got the Die Hard franchise. My impression was not a good one. I have me Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Some might call it luck, I call it education because again - - negative atmospheric pressure is always on the rise for many reason best appearing in the pages of a tell-all book. Point is I see a direct connection these people, my impressions of them and the quality of their work. I love Finland and have had high hopes for their creatives since they gave my album such a great write up an reception. Helsinki is on of my top 10 cities with warm friendly kind people. Many say: "Come on Cliff, they had no control on how the final product will turn out". Bullsh*t. These big stars in the game have tons of control - -long story short. More than most people can even dream of as the studio slobs are making millions, win or lose with next to zero accountability. Am I going too fast for you? Sure, I'll take the blame. My taste bends towards quality acting in the classic genre and I love the theatre; not fake CGI (I laugh reading, "low budget CGI," has it come to that? Lol) ALL CGI stinks...and I'm sick to my back teeth with comic book cardboard cut-outs and reptilian Hitlers riding dinosaurs. Oh is that a first? Lol.

Iron Sky Invasion from 2012 was a funny, bizarre and refreshingly different film, with a holistic, recognizable historical and satirical plot, and it was well directed, edited and the acting performances were credible, Impressing achievement from a low budget. However, Iron Sky The Coming Race basically has none of the above, but instead appears like a a chaotic hipshot into and from every angle of a youtubicalistic mishmash from modern conspiracy through technological absurdity and into apocalyptic tragedy. It's actually so scary that any comedy and satirical distance collapses. In today's jungle of films and series, it won't even make it as a cult turkey. What a waste.

How do you top moon Nazis attacking earth? With a hollow earth race of half man/half dinosaur cannibals led by the human/dinosaur crossbred versions of Adolf Hitler and Steve Jobs. With a long list of some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories there are, this holds nothing back in terms of the absurd and outlandish and culminates with half man/half dinosaur Hitler attacking the moon while on the back of T-Rex. As aesthetically pleasing as the original, it somehow feels less original and more bland of a story which makes it that much closer to a SyFy channel original.

Picking up where "Iron Sky" left off, "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" is ok, yet just doesn't have the same camp, bad ass quality of the first movie. Moves along with an interesting plot, some decent dialogue and a few - too few - humorous moments. Fans of the first will love it, everyone else will just be meh.

This is more hilarious than most comedy movies I've seen in the past 5 years.

Just as fantastic as the first one. Made me hope for a third movie but unfortunately the studio went bankrupt.

OK, so you know it's going to be extremely hammy... like, rancid ham level hammy, but this is another level. The kind of movie that should be un-made. Lol... Well, unless you're sat with a bag of 'shrooms...

Doesn't often happen that a movie makes such a bad impression that I feel criticism is warranted. In this case, the disappointment I felt left me little choice. Where the first movie was a nice bit of over-the-top silliness, this sequel is an unstructured collection of Disneyfied memes and flat-falling pop cult references that takes itself way too seriously. How could you go wrong with a movie that has Lizard Overlord Hitler riding a T-Rex into a Nazi Moonbase, you ask? Well, watch this, and find out.

Wanted to like it more. Not as good as the first one.
