G.O.R.A. (2004)

This movie is garbage. I thought i found a nice entertaining comedy from across the world based on the IMDb rating it has, but I was wrong.This so called comedy is full of obvious childish jokes disguised as "parodies" and predictable punchlines and situations, you may think the humor didn't translate well because I'm not from Turkey, but I don't think that's it.Granted this is the first Turk movie I ever watched, but humor can be a universal thing, and comedy is capable of breaking cultural barriers, but this is not comedy, this is just a foolish attempt to make a movie out of a bunch of ideas for "funny sketches", but the jokes are obvious, they felt outdated and worst of all simple, like the kind of jokes a child will tell you, just one step away from "Why did the chicken cross the road?".The worst part is that there is a sequel,but the only way I would ever watch that (or this movie EVER AGAIN) is if I was forced in a "Clockwork Orange" fashion strapped to chair. Movies like this shouldn't exist.

oh, what a great movie that was! i was 13 years old when this movie came out. i watched sixty times already...i still remember all scenes, all movie lines.. all cast are compatible and endear themselves to viewer. great combined with comedy and science, i have to say special effects are not great, but it's not a big budget movie. if you're not looking for a perfection, you can blink the fact. inspired from "Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda" movie. i never forget this movie! great job Cem Yilmaz! this movie is definitely on my "best of comedy" list in top ten.Brilliant!

this movie combines comedy and action in a way that no movie i have seen has, understanding the language is better because the sub titles are way off at some points but in the end it is a great movie. also the way cem yilmaz can play both arif and logar helps the movie a lot, he does a great job at becoming the characters he played and his comedy makes it a lot better, bob marley faruk is also a lovable character along with princess ceku who besides being beautiful is also a very talented actor. movies like scary movie have tried to make fun of other movies while providing some sort of comedy and action yet they fall short, unlike this movie which includes at least 4 spoofs of movies that are extremely popular, i forgot to mention the great effects and the songs used throughout the movie

Cem Yilmaz has been the most outstanding comedian during the last 10 years in Turkey and he continues to do so. What he did so far is a great achievement and Turkish people knows that. He primarily makes stand-up shows but he is also busy with writing and acting; in which he is very successful in my opinion.The movie here looks like it's all around Cem Yilmaz, but we must say that the other people of the movie did their job just as successful.This a sci-fi and a comedy movie. Cem Yilmaz plays a typical Turkish guy who runs a carpet shop. He is also busy with producing fake UFO photos. Then he is taken by an alien spaceship and transported to the planet Gora.The situation of a typical Turkish guy in a sci-fi environment was quite funny for me, but also I guess that a non-Turkish viewer would find it just as funny. Other characters are acting quite well. Ceku (Ozge Ozberk) is gorgeous.This is the biggest budget used in a Turkish movie so far, so don't expect poor scenes behind.
