The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreThis is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreI'm a big fan of Eric and Ramzy but I can't believe I've spent money on a ticket for this movie. In fact, I'm afraid I've paid twice for this piece of junk: once when I've bought a ticket and once as a taxpayer: I wouldn't be surprised if public fundings to support french art (doh!) were granted to produce it. Poor jokes, gross humor, I might have smiled once during the whole film. Most expensive smile in my life. If I could set a mark lower than 1, I would have gladly done it.Don't waste your time watching this movie, buy a copy of "La tour montparnasse infernale" instead !
View MoreThe "James Bond spoof" has been done so many times by now that it should be considered a genre by itself, and "Double Zero" has very little that's fresh to offer. Do not think for a moment that because this is a French production it has any more sophistication or wit than, say, Leslie Nielsen's "Spy Hard" - it doesn't. It does have a glossy look and large-scale "megalomaniac villain" sets that recall those of such Bond films as "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker", but nothing very funny happens inside them. The highlights are: 1) Plenty of fighting girls that I wanted to see more of (the fight on the beach is terrific), 2) A digitized horny rabbit (you'll see), and 3) The villain's uncanny resemblance to a younger version of Alan Rickman.

View MoreEric & Ramzy are usually good in comedy shows in theater and TV, but when it comes to this movie, it's a complete failure, not unlike their previous project La Tour Montparnasse Infernale. Austin-powers wannabe attempt, this movie completely lacks humor and is full of bad, very bad jokes. I don't know what M. Pires had in mind when he shot this flick, but such comedies have already been done in the past, more successfully. Unfortunately for M. Pires, the jokes are difficult to get for foreigners, but not only for them, as even for a French person it is hard to find moments that can be enjoyed and lead the audience to laugh. If you wanna see a good movie in this vein, better watch the Austin Powers series or even Leslie Nielsen films than wasting any time with this clone.
View MoreI saw the DVD release of this movie a few days ago, and although it has spectacular scenes, effects, sets, etc, its a very bad film. Bad directing, plot, script Bad anonymous actors (not to mention ugly in a bad way) and bad editing. You get no sense of a movie. Its like video-clips glued together. Not to mention that the actors look like they are reading their lines, and try to be funny. A bad copy of James Bond, Charlies Angels, and various other films. I wonder how Warner Bros. approved such a film. Total disappointment. Not recommended.
