Manta, Manta - Zwoter Teil

So the dialogues could have been much better. The acting is also pretty mediocre. The story is pretty lame and uninterestingly told, but I got some good laughs in. It's supposed to be a comedy and in that regard it certainly works.

The camerawork is fantastic. The sound design is great. The music sucks in my opinion for the most part, but other than that well I had fun in the cinema. It's an enjoyable movie for a broad audience.

I appreciate Til Schweiger way more in these kind of movies than him playing the depressed old guy. The movie had no depth, which always works in Germany for bigger audiences.

Just my personal opinion. Looking forward to the 3rd installment.

I don't believe the film would have done worse at the box office without the offensive and sexist jokes, since those were actually not the parts that most people laughed in anyways.

But the production quality is great. The sound design is great. The final race is very well done, nothing near fast and furious, but it still works nicely. Even though some people left in the middle of the movie, most people there had fun, but story wise, a lot just didn't make any sense.

The creators must be very glad about the fact that there is no cancel culture in Germany, because if there was, this movie would have had some serious troubles to face.

Of course this is a box office hit in Germany. Til Schweiger delivers what his fans want to see from him. A fart joke comedy with little to no story, no buildup, no grown, underdeveloped character strings and basically what German movie fans love to see. Great actors in underwhelming roles who don't get a chance to deliver any depth at all.

It's a cute story, some wise words get dropped occasionally, and I'm sure everyone will get at least 2 good laughs in, even women, considering how overly sexist and offensive some of the jokes are. I truly wish they'd have had at least one "aware", "cultural" or just "not ancient" person in this 7 men team of writers.

This is the first movie i couldn't finish and had to went out of the teather. While the first part had it's charme and the handwriting of a solid director in bernd eichinger, this is a total mess. I don't even know where to beginn with, it is just pure shame. It bugs me that i have to give at least 1 star for this pile of trash it isn't even worth a quater of a star.

Today news broke out that til schweiger the director and main actor was mainly drunk while filming and treathened the staff and even became violent. This just fits the whole picture. What a mess. The worst movie i ever say in my life by far.

Did this movie get posted on a "we hate til schweiger" message board? I mean how did this get a 2.9?

It's far from great. The story is yuk, the cast is one big white wash, the jokes are very on the nose for the most part, but come on!

Technically it is very well above German standards. The actors aren't bad at all the script just doesn't allow for anything great.

I'm sure everybody who watches the movie openly will get some laughs off it.

But the movie got so many 1 and 2 ratings, people are acting like it is krass Klassenfahrt, but it is not nearly as bad.

I was pretty torn between giving it a 4 and a 5, but I went with the 4 because it could have easily been much better.
