Tropic Thunder (2008) Review

Perhaps the greatest thing about this movie is the brilliant cast. There are greater casts, such as The Dark Knight Trilogy, Marvel Cinematic Universe, The X-Men Franchise, and other superhero or some comedies too. My point is, very few movie have the great cast with 5+ recognizable members. Tropic Thunder includes Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Bill Hader, and they even threw some better actors in there: Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise. There are also, a few other recognizable people, Brandon T. Jackson, Nick Nolte, and Jack Black (but do we really need him?) So, this movie is already great because of the ensemble cast, but not that's not all. The entire 107 minute runtime (which is perfect for the movie) is filled with laughs, the music accompanied the film perfectly, great performances (especially RDJ and Tom Cruise), and better dialogue. Tropic Thunder is a movie Ben Stiller can be proud that he directed.
Movie Rating: A-

My favorite part of the movie, RDJ deserved that Oscar nom.

 

Also, with the exception of 22 Jump Street, this is the greatest end credits scene ever.
