Gulliver's Travels (2010)


Summary: Lemuel Gulliver is the failed nobody who works in the mail room of a New York newspaper and has an ongoing crush  on one of the journalists. When opportunity arrives he tries to impress her by doing a scope about the Bermuda Triangle but after a freak of nature storm he wakes up on the shores of Lilliput and the adventure begins.

Jack Black, a career on his appearance... yes, he has.
Gulliver, Gulliver ... the biggest misstake ever: Copy + Paste. You shall never ever, EVER just copy and paste anything when you want to cheat! Rule numero uno! It is just to search the internet and you are screwed!

General Edward
Sheriff of Rottingham
General Edward Edwardian, biggest ego of them all, he reminds me about the sheriff in Robin Hood - Men in tights. Big headed ego, leads the army and wants the lady. And about that lady, just waiting to be kidnapped and the general to save her. What a society, all was such a well used script! Almost as classic as that Romeo and Juliet scene, which was why it worked (not including that they did not know what it was). Greatest kingdom of them all... doesn't even know about our world.

Gulliver at home
Star Wars
Guitar Hero
"New York"
I really liked the Transformer fused with a Jaeger, hah, "never gonna happen", eh, Gulliver? And that doll in a dollhouse part was just hilarious. But most of all I liked the media-theater with its "movies and guitar hero". I LOVE IT! Hands down the best part in the movie, sadly too little time with it. The New York thing was also funny, but there you can see that he goes a bit to far. It is seriously funny but still, Gulliver should have know it would come back and bite him in the ass (or pull his underpants). 

But seriously, what is up with Red vs Blue? I have seen it so MANY times before! Let's see...

Gulliver - Blue vs Red
John Carter - Red attacking Blue
Merlin - Red
Merlin - Blue
... I will have to return to this one later on ... 

So, funny movie but it all comes down to it being Jack Black who played Gulliver. Sadly but true. But seriously what was the point with Gulliver's girlfriend to show up? She did not exactly do anything or bring anything to the ending of the movie. As an ending note, about the actors... the "giant" is the shortest one! Hah! Movie magic!

Big three ... on not
