Recep Ivedik 2

Seriously; I felt insulted. I have not seen anything so disrespectful as this piece of crap in my whole life.

Sahan Gokbakar, the leading actor and the scriptwriter, is a famous comedian in Turkey; but his suspicious fame is not enough to save this work in the eye of the audience.. OK, to be honest, there are two or three laughable moments all over; but as a whole, this 90 minutes of horse crap leaves a very sour taste in your mind.

No story at all; full of stupid jokes and a messy collection of events without any reasonable connection whatsoever.. This -so called- "movie" is the worst "thing" I have ever seen so far in a movie theater... I am now seriously considering to sue this nonsense... Innocent people should be warned somehow. I believe that this comment (actually, warning!) is my responsibility to the people as a responsible citizen!

Bottomline: Keep away at all costs... Seriously!

I agree with comments that this movie is not a real "movie". But its aim is not creating something that has an artistic value, but it is to make people laugh. When I watched it, the whole people in the movie theater were laughing continuously. Since this is a comedy film, and it can make people laugh, the rest is not so important. It is definitely better than the first one, there are more characters and more places, and the script is better except for the first half an hour. The grandmother's talks and Recep's speech to the crowd nearly in the end of the movie were the funniest, I think. If you want to "just" laugh, then don't hesitate to see it. But the jokes are for only Turkish people to understand.

This movie was supposed to be a sequel to highly popular Recep İvedik, but these movies are different in many ways.

In the first movie, there was a storyline and jokes were not based on swearing. Yes, there were some scenes which were disgusting at times, but the movie as a whole wasn't so bad.

In the "supposedly" sequel however, nearly all jokes are based on swearing and the movie has no storyline. There are some changes in Recep İvedik character as well. He is now much more aggressive, swearing and can speak English:) Grandmother role in the movie is a total disaster. This role includes nothing more than swearing and player's acting is very amateur and disturbing. In fact, this observation is valid for all supporting characters in the movie except the "bonus" boy.

After the release of the first movie, there were some exaggerated criticisms about the movie being very "low level". I didn't agree with these thoughts then, but now it seems that with Recep İvedik 2,Şahan Gökbakar wants to show the critics what is called a "low level" movie.

I also want to say some things about the directing. In the first movie, directing was obviously bad but Recep İvedik character saved the day. In this sequel, we "surprisingly" see that the director has shown no improvement since the first movie and even got worse. This is not good news for his career, I think it would be good for him to try his chances in other fields before it is too late.

If you can handle the swearing without a story and have excess money, you can watch this movie on cinema, otherwise it is a C-grade movie which at most deserves being watched on video.

This, right here, is the definitive Recep Ivedik movie. This movie perfectly encapsulates Recep as a character and how he responds to the world around him.

First of all, we need to understand what this franchise is all about. The "Recep Ivedik" series is about contrast. How a man responds to a world that rejects him. How a man tries to break into a world that does not accept him. Recep refuses to conform to the norms around him. He persists to be himself. He refuses to be a fake version of himself to fit the world around him. This, in return, obviously makes him an outcast. He is seen as a mere animal by the snobs around him (and this includes most of the reviewers here).

To the basic viewer, this movie is nothing more than just a movie about toilet humour. To the unthinking eye, this movie is merely poop jokes and whatnot. It takes a viewer to watch carefully and pay attention to the themes to understand what is really going on behind the scenes.

Recep is a complex character. His physical appearance is a very important part of his image as a character. He resembles the stereotypical animalistic Turkish man. This is what the movie wants you to initally think of him; nothing more than a hog to laugh at. But as the movie goes on Recep shows he is a lot more than that. He is highly knowledged in popular culture and seems to be a lot more aware of the world around him than one might realise. We see more of his emotions throughout out the film, although they are explored best in the third movie.

Some of the humour might be cheap, but unlike a lot of comedy movies this is one that will be cemented in your mind, atleast for me that was the case. This was definetly an experience for me, a core memory.

Lastly, this movie will just not be as funny if you're not Turkish as you will not be able to understand the characters and the setting.

I totally disagree with the "The worst film I have seen so far".

Sahan only made this movie because his "Recep Ivedik" sketch on "Dikkat Sahan Cikabilir" was much loved and viewed by millions on Youtube and other websites. He could have easily made a film about any other character he played in his show. His story seems very similar to Ali G's in that respect. Ali G only made Borat because it was the best loved character in "The Ali G Show".

Let's get one thing straight, most people watched Recep Ivedik 1 & 2 because they already had seen the sketch on TV and liked it, thus they knew exactly what to expect from the movie, just like I did.

Most the people who did not enjoy the movie probably never watched his sketch on TV beforehand, thus the disappointment.

I can agree that the movie is not a straight forward comedy movie and different to anything I have seen before but it still entertaining.

The movie may have a stupid story line or no story line as some say but it cleverly delivers a message. The movie isn't just plain stupid like Ali G, in fact there are so many scenes in this movie that show Recep is opposite of stupid.

Recep is very rude and sometimes disgusting in the movie but I found this funny, again not everyone will.

I think people who did not enjoy the movie missed on of the main points in the movie, "The Message"

Along side being "ignorant, rude and disgusting" he was educating people.

Examples such as:

"Ekinler bas vermeden kor buzagi topalmazmis" is a very nice message and makes sense.

He is not just a "Kiro" as we hear him talk about many things most people watching the movie don't even know about, things like Photoshop.

He looks after his Grandmother (In Turkey old people are never looked after and often put in old peoples homes instead) and also send the message across that "we should do anything it takes" to earn a living in this current situation.

He is very open with people and speaks his mind. When he meets "Yakuza" at the Chinese restaurant he openly tells her what he thinks, some may think he is horrible but I think he is doing the right thing.

To round it up I believe the movie was excellent, although some of the jokes were over the top he redeemed himself with the good message he was putting across.

People need to realise now that Comedy is not what it use to be, there are different types of comedy and everything has changed, Turkish comedy movies are what they are right now, lots of swearing. The Kemal Sunal days are over and now we have a new era.
