Zoolander 2 Reviews

To be honest, I really didn't like 'Zoolander' at all so I didn't expect much from this sequel but since this movie was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, pretty much as I expected, it turned out to be seriously lame and I'm not surprised at all that it was such a commercial and critical flop when it was released. I have to admit that the opening scene with Justin Bieber actually had some potential but it all went downhill from this point. Seriously, pretty much nothing worked. Of course, you could argue that I never thought that Derek Zoolander was actually a funny character, even in the previous installment, but the whole thing was just boring and usually rather cringe-inducing to behold. Apparently, the whole point was to show how Derek Zoolander and Hansel could fit in our modern world but they kept adding layers upon layers of idiotic sub-plots which of course didn't work at all. Something else proving how stupid and misguided the whole thing was the fact that, even though it was dealing with the fashion world, it was actually taking place in Rome and not in Milan. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was just terrible, I hope the whole world has now figured out how lame this character was from the very beginning and, hopefully, they will never try to give us a trilogy with this moronic and tedious character. 

I honestly hated the first Zoolander. It just wasn't my kind of funny. It had moments, but overall it was just lame. I'm watching this though because I'm curious and also for the opening scene. Maybe this will surprise me and actually be fairly enjoyable. It has a lot of great actors in it which is a plus. Ben Stiller returns as the director/co-writer for this. Of his films I have liked Tropic Thunder, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and The Cable Guy. Justin Theroux also returns to the writers table here. He worked on Tropic Thunder. He even wrote Iron Man 2. Nicholas Stoller also wrote Yes Man, Get Him to the Greek, and The Muppets. John Hamburg is another writer (he also co-directed the first one) who returns for the sequel. He does a lot of work with Ben Stiller including the Fockers series and Along Came Polly. The only way to find out how this is will be to just watch it already. As much as I hate him I actually respect him for this. The action element in this is pretty amusing. Man that is some serious overkill and I love it! It's insane how many stars they got to make jokes of themselves here. Ah a recap of everything we didn't see happening through the years. Yeah man you go be a hermit crab lol. Haha that's definitely a Star Wars reference. Yep it looks like this is another Kristen Wiig role to annoy me with. She rarely does stuff I like. Billy Zane is still pretty cool if you ask me. That's definitely one dedicated Uber driver. That looks painful as shit. Oh wow lol! Okay that's hilarious and brilliant. Yeah that's just plain weird. The joke is funny though. I knew that was the case. Haha this Don Atari is hilariously stupid. All is all haha! Really is she a parody of Lady Gaga or something? Oh well that's definitely different lol. Well that is highly inappropriate looking. That headmaster is definitely one odd looking cookie. Oh my god wow! Man Hansel is one lucky dude when it comes to the women in those groups lol. Nice pulling out references from Rocky Horror lol. Well that escalated quickly. "...And Steve" haha oh gosh. I wasn't expecting that. This is pretty amusing. So far I like it. I swear I sometimes am the opposite of popular opinion. They seriously didn't suspect that? Oh wow smh. Okay this is pretty hilarious right here. I despise Will Ferrell, but he looks kind of cool here. Are they really serious haha? Never mind he is back to looking lame again. Great now the ridiculousness that I don't like is happening. As soon as Mugatu came back into the picture it's been like a roller coaster of stupid and funny. Penelope Cruz though! Okay that was too perfect ahaha! Yeah like why would there need to be a reason? Yay now that's what I'm talking about! Each of their reactions are just gold. Another Star Wars reference lol okay. It's so ridiculous that it's actually amusing. Lol Kiefer is such a trooper for this. Lol oh wow that ending! I did like this a lot more than the original. It's pretty silly, but not quite the stupid "humor" of the first. Sure it had some things that were pretty ridiculous though. The cameos did help it a lot though for sure. I say give it a shot you may like it.
