Gulliver's Travels -- 8 / 10

You're looking at the title wide eyed, right? Lol. Yeah -- yeah. Me to. That's right folks, Zenith hit the movies today as per request of Hummingbird and I've got a really ... counter-thought review for you. I can't even begin to get around my original mindset until about ten minutes into the film, you're shaking your head and trying to pull Gulliver (Jack Black) away from his idiotic misfortunes and realize that you're still in the theater. Lol.

Let's start from the top. I have never seen or read the original Gulliver's Travels, while I do know the book and the story, I have never actually delved into the cheesy fantasy until I was asked to "take one for the team" by my reviewer boss, Raze.

Gulliver is a dead-beat nobody working in the mail room for a writer's corporation, kinda like a massive magazine or newspaper corp, and he's an old dweeb. Lol. He's madly in love with this woman he can't talk to, because he's that much of a goon and ends up being a total idiot to her and gets himself into a lying bind, where he's said he travels a lot and he plagiarizes a lot of materials from a magazine and book -- oyie.

So he's off on his adventure and then finds himself in a bad way, yadda yadda, he's on an island, surrounded by tiny people who eventually crown him their ruler, or whatever. Yadda yadda. The movie is about self-enlightenment though. About realizing who he is and what he's capable of doing, even though he's a super douche.

You'll have to watch the movie, to get the rest -- as that's where the story begins!

Pros: There are a LOT of really funny parts. Imagine being in a world, where no one knows ANYTHING about the world you came from. All the movies you've seen and the books you've read, the music you've heard -- it's chalked FULL of Lols.

My favorites would have to be when he had these wee-people reenact the scene between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker (which was a part of Gulliver's life, supposedly, back in his other life - lolol), so the micro-portrayal is of Darth Vader and his son ... Gulliver. Lol. And they're going through the routine about him not being his father. XD ... LOOOOL. It's a riot.

Also very funny is Gulliver singing 'WAR' to stop the two nations from battling each other, lmao.

Cons: You know -- I have a hard time fighting anything totally bad about the film. Jack Black is such a doofus, that it's really just amusing the entire time. A lot of really good scenes and well-thought out wee-people inventions. The biggest Con I felt for the entire film, was some of the "mature" or adult content that was added in -- thus making this more of a PG-13 film, whereas it should have been for that younger-audience, as it was such a fun film.

Bonus: Vice President Yoda. Real-time/Real-player Guitar Hero. Lolololol - featuring, micro-KISS.

Rating: It's a strong 8 out of 10 and I would definitely recommend seeing it at the cheap-seats or eventually owning it, as it would be a funny family-flick, as there's a lot of very funny things in it.
