I recently rented Dr. Strangelove and I was disappointed. I didn’t quite understand what the movie was hinting at, and most of the jokes weren’t very funny. It was an OK movie, but I don’t think it should be on the top 100 list.
“Louder, faster, harder”(hahaha)
I’ll admit that I didn’t really like “Dr Strangelove” either but on a second viewing, it hit me that it is genius. I sometimes think for movies you hate but others (a lot of other ppl) claim to really good then you should watch it twice before you make your final decision.
There is A LOT going on in “Dr Stragelove”, most of the jokes refrence the Cold War era and they are hard to grasp the first time around. They go by fast and some are completely ridiculous. So try it again. You’ll probably like it a little more.
Actually, I thought about this movie a little bit more, and I think I might have to take that comment back.
