I'm SUPER excited, but also VERY concerned. So I'll be cautiously optimistic. But seeing the new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson, though a completely unrelated project, I'm hopeful that today's Hollywood might actually be able to pull this off.

Wait, was Naked Gun an actually good remake? I just assumed it wouldn't be.

Oh it was. My gf described it as a naked gun movie. Not better, not worse. The right amount of stupidity and the right kind.
Example from early on in the movie:
"Im sorry detective, im not myself today"
"No worries, im not you either"

I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end. Liam needing killed it. And it was, so, so stupid.

They were so skilled with the background jokes, too.

There's at least one joke that can only be seen by watching with subtitles. That's dedication.

It wasn't terrible, but still not as good as the original. I don't think anyone can replace Leslie Nielsen.

Casting Liam Neeson is strong evidence they understood the assignment. You need a dramatic actor to lead a Naked Gun film.

I agree with this, it was a Naked Gun movie and as a standalone product I enjoyed it quite a bit.

It wasn't Leslie Nielsen, but they do have the same initials so that's good enough for me.

It's actually really great. Not the funniest movie I've ever seen, but they did the series justice and did just enough new things to keep it fresh. Would recommend giving it a watch if you like stupid humor.

Part of my hesitation is I normally don't like stupid humor, but I remember loving the series as a kid. I'll probably watch it anyway.

It was hilarious. I was full on belly laughing at some parts which is something I dont recall doing during any other movie in recent memory.

I loved it. I love the original 3 movies and the season of police squad. Liam did a great job and I laughed a bunch.

They did good and I hope spaceballs 2 can be similar.
