Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
e-70733 Though the story-telling is distinctive, the theme is still belonging to Hollywood mainstream. In addition to climax of the story needs to be improved a bit, the film maintains a fairly smooth emotional flow and a mature theme construction. When the story is about to be patterned, there are always some wonderful details to break the boredom. Therefore, with a good overall layout, some of the film's minor flaws should be forgiven.
jonathanmark-77048 Plot: A murder mystery brings together a private eye, a struggling actress, and a thief masquerading as an actor.This movie is a prime example of how to do a buddy film. The thing that makes this different from the others is that Shane Black actually takes the clichés of those films and turns it on its head. The cast all do a wonderful job especially Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan. They have terrific chemistry and help portray their characters as likable and quirky. The script is one of a kind from Shane and very underrated just like a lot of Shane's work. His movies deserve to be talked about and not just pushed to the side. My only issue with the film and why it gets an 8 is the lack of screen time for the villain. He is very underdeveloped and that's the only thing disappointing because most of Black's villain are at least developed or have a personality which this villain lacked because of the limited screen time that he got.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a perfect example of how to be clever with its story whether it's a buddy film, a black comedy, or a thriller. This film despite it's one flaw is a great film that I feel should be given a chance by the general public.
DoubleOscar This movie was fantastic, it felt like it was speaking directly to me. First off, I love dark comedy, this movie is glowing with amazing humor. Second, I am a huge Film Noir guy, and this is a great twist on that. Lastly, I love films that are self aware and play off of that a little bit. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang does these all spectacularly.The performances were off the charts, specifically Val Kilmer who was unexpectedly great in this movie, but very welcome. Robert Downey Jr. was great in one of his comeback roles and constantly had me laughing. Lastly, Michelle Monaghan was fantastic and had great chemistry with both Downey Jr. and Kilmer.My only complaint is that the story felt a tiny bit jumbled at places, but I feel that those problems will be cleared up upon a second viewing, which I intend to do. I do feel the replay value on this film is incredible. The twists and turns taken are never stale and the humor is one of the best I have seen in a while.Overall, this film is HUGELY underrated and I highly suggest checking it out. The confidence of the film bleeds off the screen (In a good way) and there is never a moment of slowness due to the perfect narration of Robert Downey Jr. This is definitely a film not to be missed."Uh, I'm retired. I invented dice when I was a kid. How about you?"
Johan Dondokambey Opens curiously with Harry's childhood and the crime-themed opening credits, the movie develops the characters Harry and Harmony eccentrically. But that thing ended there and then as the rest of the movie develops the story just like other crime movies do. Fortunately the story is quite good with all those little twists and the additional Harry's stupidity. The jokes are mostly dull particularly the dialog jokes. But the practical jokes were quite alright for me as they hooked some laughs out of me, like when Harry tossed Perry's gun or the scene with the finger and the dog. Robert Downey Jr.'s acting may be the biggest aspect that helped this movie to have the quite a good impression. He can really delve deep into character and depicted Harry's stupidity and clumsiness very nicely. Michelle Monaghan's attempt to look sexy utterly failed here as she doesn't really have the capability to act sexy. Val Kilmer's acting here is quite nice, constantly being the wise character to guide Harry.
