Die Hart

The movie is as bad as respectable budget film can be... the plot is just ridiculous and uninteresting.

The acting is not bad, far from it, but the characters are not inspiring. John Tavolta's acting is not bad as some reviews says; it's just that his character is a little crazy and goofy.

Hart's plays a version of himself that portraits him as weak and diminished, and that's not a good thing.

The cast made me believe this could be interesting but it's not the case... how can a movie with a cast like this can be so bad??

And the question which is bugging me: how the heck did this got a sequel???...

"All I needed was ... an actor who was afraid of being forgotten". This line makes me doubt this is an action film, and makes it feel like a biopic. Because if, as a serious actor, you are NOT taking a role in drivel like this because you expect it to be a box office success. On the face of it this movie is onanistic narcisism, with Kevin Hart making a movie about Kevin Hart being Kevin Hart in another Kevin Hart movie but now about Kevin Hart. If you start this movie with this in the back of your mind, you are in for a very mediocre movie about making a 'real life' movie. You are _still_ going to see a movie with Kevin Hart about Kevin Hart, mind you. But there'll be other actors too. Briefly. And a plot, passingly. All in all: Not good. Good enough to waste 90 minutes on, bad enough that you'll have forgotten about it before your next drink. Not bad. Just a Kevin Hart movie, in conclusion.

No pun intended - just the other day I was talking with a friend and we thought "any movie that has a variant, an idea of a famous person/actor in it, is good ... well at least the ones we watched, right?" ... and it was right up to that moment. We were talking about Nic Cage playing Nic Cage (well a version of himself) and certainly John Malkovich ... even JCVD (or Jean Claude van Damme for you) is just amazing.

Well this movie is anything but ... but instead of going low (I would have given this a solid 6 to be honest), I thought ... well this has Nathalie Emmanuel in it ... so I'll go high(er) than that. I hope you can bear with me. And the movie is kind of fun - it may have certain people and call certain people by their rightful name ... and then it has John Travolta ... being someone else than himself. Well character name wise ... he could be as crazy in real life, right? I am just kidding of course ... good performance by him too.

Still way over the top - you have to dig it, to love it. Talking of loving it - where was the Rock? All that name calling, but no dice? Would have been fun - on the other hand, he would have stolen the sunshine from all others involved I reckon ... well there is the sequel so ... maybe there? (no is the answer in case you don't want to check for him there)

Based on the tv series of the same name which was released three years prior (this may be confusing to those who are unfamiliar with the series). This film plays out as one would expect. Kevin Hart in his own Dir Hard-esque type film with him playing a fictional character of himself trying to become an "action hero/ leading man".. it features all the parody and satirical action movie stunts to be had.

Nothing is exactly cleverly funny and it's predictable. Certainly a film would be more well liked by Kevin Hart fans. Unlike the series, there is a lot of cursing (F-bombs) which get quite over the top by both Hart and John Travolta. In the end, this film is mildly amusing, and it's a satire. People seem to be taking it far too serious.

I have nothing but love for Kevin Hart, but realistically this is what happens when you do run an empire and you trying to do everything. You simply can't give everything 100%. This is 20% of his energy and quality and another film in the last few that shows the lack and effort. The story is an extreme stretch once or gets further into it. The acting is very poor and surprisingly John travolta is the weakest one. Clearly showing if you take long breaks from your craft it does take it toll. Basically Amazon wanted a film entice people and the through alot of money at Kevin and his brand to ensure it gets that "Kevin harts in it, surely it's decent". But a very poor film overall. I would rather Kevin go away for a few years with the films and come back and bring back something he was able to really put his effort in. Cannot recommend it, tje only positive is that they kept it under 1hr 30.
