Blazing Saddles (2024)

The humour of this film is way beyond what you'd think was possible for the 70's. Even in the modern age if this film was produced now it'd still be considered a work of genius

where has gene wilder been all my life... the answer is the seventies. this thing is hilarious. I especially couldn't keep down during the work song. for warning they use the n-word a lot in this film and i mean a lot. anyone easily offended by this I guess can take solace in the fact that stereotypes are basically war fodder. then again it makes use of plenty of stereotypes... well, anyhow this film has everything. a scrappy charismatic protagonist, self-loathing slightly suicidal supporting character, fourth wall explosions... fart jokes! you simply can't beat this movie. definitely go watch it.... what are you still doing here! either look up the film in another tab or go out and get it!

I wanted to watch this movie because the great Gene Wilder had died recently so I haven't gotten a chance to have time to watch this entire movie! I have seen Young Frankenstein and The Producers but I was disappointed in them, I would always think of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka ever since he came into my childhood. I'm really sad that he died, he was such a good talented actor out there. RIP Willy Wonka ♡Anyways,I really found the movie very hilarious, the jokes were funny but the rape homes kinda threw me off a bit. I felt there shouldn't have been rape jokes because, it can upset some viewers such as survivors of sexual abuse. I would've think Mel Brooks would be a bit smarter in relation to that rape is a serious offense to mankind! Apart from that hiccup including the racial slurs too, I actually really enjoyed Wilder's and Cleavon Little's teamwork together. It's too bad that these great actors are not with us anymore, no one can ever replace them for their talent they had during their acting careers!The movie ain't the best but it's certainly not the worst. Its good but again, improvements would've been made a little better! I give this movie a rating of 8/10!

Mel Brooks here. If you've watched a bit of his work, you know the sort of humor we're dealing with here. This is your thick, and I mean THICK, old timey New Yorker humor that thinks anything over-the-top and outrageous is the good kind of silly, that mindset where laughter should be provoked rather than earned, like it's therapeutic - ah come on, just laugh a little will ya ! And although his work can sometimes really be funny, and I don't always disagree with that take on humor, this here is just lazy, lazy, lazy. This is self-indulgent and even more. Clearly, however different we may be from one another, this certainly can't be considered strong humor when it's so obvious, so blatant, and tries so hard. It may have Gene Wilder, it may have guns n a Western Spaghetti setting to work with, and some okay gags, but it's certainly no 8/10. Won't spend too much time commenting this, I'm done here.
