Moonwalkers Reviews

Dec 6, 2024

Too much weight for Perlman to carry, he received no help.

Feb 7, 2024

When I've had a bad day, this is my go-to streaming movie of choice. Ron Perlman is just freakin awesome as Kidman. It does start a little slow. But once they go looking for the case full of money, it picks up fast and gets hilarious! When I start this movie at 45:00, I'm laughing hysterically in less than a minute! "Whoa. Nice shirt, dude." I'll bet he never thought those would be his last words…Haha

Rupert Grint has, compared to his Harry Potter compatriots Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, appeared in more obscure, less mainstream films over the last decade or so. It's an admirable decisions, since it makes him far more likely to star in the odd hidden gem, and less likely to appear on whatever big Hollywood project happens to be getting all the attention. I'm not saying Moonwalkers is some new diamond in the rough or anything, but its still an interesting, if odd and inconsistent watch. If there's any type of character he plays well, it's one who's badly out of his element, in this case a small-time band manager who gets caught up in staging a fake moon landing. A lot of surprise is eliminated by the knowledge that the Apollo 11 mission was successful, so the question of whether the fake footage will be needed is answered from the onset, but the film does still do some interesting things with its premise. I like the pretentious art house director who has ideas way beyond what's expected of him, and I liked how Ron Perlman's hardman act was in complete contrast to pretty much everyone else. The film does go the conventional route a bit too often, with shootouts and cliched gangsters popping up whenever the film needs an action sequence. But I found it to be mostly enjoyable, frequently funny and more interesting than I think many have given it credit for. It's not a fantastic comedy, but if you're just in the mood for a few simple yet surprisingly big laughs, Moonwalkers is a pretty good choice.

great watch, funny and exciting, some interesting visuals here and there. i cant figure out why this got such poor ratings though - perhaps it was marketed as something less psychedelic or comedic? frankly, i think ron perlman is a much better actor than people give him credit for. being typecast as a thug and having that intimidating face doesn't always land him roles he can be creative with, so this was refreshing. i will say that their depictions of ptsd and of hallucinations are not at all accurate, but the special effects used for them were very solid.

A movie where a guy who is in way over his head who trying to film the moon landing. It does not get better for him, but its downright entertaining for us. A good time to laugh and love this film.

In my opinion this film is all in all beautiful because it paints a wonderful England and because all the characters are characterized very well. In terms of comedy the film is very funny and entertains very well but there are some small holes and inconsistencies that are hard not to notice and that lower the level of the film a bit

The strong performances by Perlman and Grint make this an enjoyable, trippy and gory ride. Recommended to watch this by boxxy software

Supremely unique, fun and witty, Moonwalkers encapsulates it's setting and takes full advantage of it's wacky characters and their kerfuffles that entail.

Watchable garbage with some mildly amusing moments

Mar 26, 2017

There's a few good laughs in what is partly a stoner comedy surrounding one of the greatest events of the 20th century.

Standard caper yarn, 30 mins binned

The first forth of this movie is horrible but once you get past that you have a pretty cool hidden gem of a movie.

Three stars and four moons!

Cool 'alternative' movie about how they could've faked the moon landing

Being a Kubrick nut I thought I'd check this out and it turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. Does a great job of getting the look and sound of the period. It's fast moving and visually exciting, plenty of the old ultra-violence as well. Could well become a cult classic and perhaps the start of a new genre - the conspira-comedy.

Si la théorie conspirationniste comme de quoi Stanley Kubrick aurais fabriqué un film représentant un faux allunissage peut apprêter à rire , ce film fais l'effet contraire considérant qu'il est présenté comme une comédie. Pas vraiment drôle, et pas assé d'action , Moonwalkers est plutôt ennuyant et dénuer d'intérêts malgré la présence d'acteurs de bon calibre tel que Ron Perlman et Rupert Grint

It's July 1969, the world's eye on the US, but they're one step and one man away from the humiliation. This is really a brilliant concept, but lacks the production quality since it is a small budget film. At least they got some decent actors where Ron Perlman and Rupert Grint led it with full responsibility. The story of a CIA agent Kidman, who was sent to London to make some fake video clips of moon landing from a renowned filmmaker when pentagon thought the NASA mission might fail. But he meets the wrong men and loses the money. Now he got no time, but to find a quick solution and accomplish his mission, where some fun filled adventures follows in the remaining narration. It is a French production, almost everything shot in England in the English language, but there is a bit of American flavour in it. Based on the speculation on the Apollo 11 mission, but it never took seriously on that topic, other than narrating humorously. Only the theme was new, but most of the jokes weren't. Overall, an average film, directed by some totally unknown guy, but as a B movie, it is acceptable. If you know what kind of film you're about see and anticipate according to that, then the time you spend for it won't end badly, except you're not going to give it a perfect score. 5/10

Wouldn't watch it again or recommend.
