Actually the reason I didn't like it was the long stretches of "why is this happening." For example, I don't see why there was a whole scene where Jesus gets new clothes, it could have been shortened a lot. As it was I just got bored. In my opinion there were a lot of scenes that could have just been cut from the movie, and that's really why I didn't much like it.

I will say that the mohawk preacher with a hole cut in his helmet for his mohawk was great. That was probably my favorite gag.

I know nothing about this movie but I am instantly enticed into watching it now.

I never noticed anything like that. Fighting scene in the park was awfully long, but they were obviously very proud of it, so it's ok. I guess not everything has a point, but just watching them fool around and have fun is also good, one thing that high profile movies don't have is the feeling that makers are actually enjoying themselves.

Silly as the movie may sound, it's actually very good.
That movie was Epic and I do believe that Bruce Campbell pulled off the role just perfectly. Ummmm stupid movies that I enjoy include a lot of the stuff everyone mentioned. Yeah, I did like some of the Scary Movies and I did watch Superhero Movie, but I think that the only reason I enjoyed it was cause I was watching it with all my friends and we just shut our brains off. You could always watch some Mystery Science Theater 300 and take in the dumb movies that they watch and of course the hilariousness that ensues from mocking them.
I hope your not expecting me to make a joke not related to ninjas, pirates, Jesus, cyborgs, or a combination of all of those.

Nobody mentioned Blazing Saddles, or The History of the World, Part I, or Brazil, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

What is wrong with you people? You should be ashamed; you should have to wear the amulet of shame.

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.

If you had seen the stupid funny movie 'Gung Ho' you'd know that people must wear the ribbons of shame.

Cause they're not stupid, they're intelligent.
Normally I would be the first one to reccomend entire Monty Python and Terry Gilliam opus, but it seemed like they asked for something undemanding, fluffy.
