Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

marshreed Christopher Morris' spoof of a bungling Muslim terrorist cell is brilliant and an instant cult classic. By virtue of its non-stop laughs, Four Lions is ostensibly a comedy. What separates it from other movies of the genre is the depth of character development and the characters' well-defined interrelations. The power struggle between Omar and Barry is palpable, as is the mutual fondness of cousins Waj and Omar. Ne'er-do-well Faisal and his crow almost brought me to tears. I even found myself rooting for Omar's boss, who proves himself to be truly lovable despite his limited screen time. Another divergence from the typical comedy is the films' strong plot-line and classically tragic resolution. Four Lions is a gem and not to be missed.

Ankit Gokhale Zero Stars.This film is awful. It relies on characters' ineptitude for humor just like The Graduate. I hated that film. I hate this one too. Unfunny, long, boring, with weird characters and zero character development. Bad Camera work.Not to mention, but that was some horrible accent they talked with. Do all the British immigrants talk like that?But a couple of good dialogs.Arrgghhh Wasted my time watching this.

KineticSeoul This has got to be one of the most messed up black comedy I have seen so far. And I have seen a lot of messed up comedies. This film has that comedic elements where they put one character in the group that has some common sense around an idiot or idiots that messes it up for the whole group or are used as a plot device to further the gag. This has been done many times in other comedies and it's a plot device that works really well in certain comedies. And for the most part it worked for this one despite it being all messed up and all. I will say I did feel a bit uncomfortable when I got a few chuckles or a laugh out of this one. Despite the offensive content because of the subject matter which revolves around a group of wannabe terrorists that are British Muslims, I found it amusing. Because of the clever scenarios and how ridiculous it is how it all played out. What I didn't like is how most of the civilians and officers give the terrorist group who a chance and treat them like human beings without coming up with assumptions or judging them because of their ethnicity. And the group uses that trust and tries to blow innocent people up regardless. When one of the members in the group gave this rap presentation in one of the scenes about stereotypes and judging someone because of their ethnicity I thought he had a point until you learn that he is actually a part of the terrorist group anyways. This can tick off a lot of viewers that are Muslims that have no intention of going through with terrorist activities or support them in anyway. The might even be Muslims that has no affiliations at all when it comes to jihadists. Benedict Cumberbatch makes a appearance in this before he got his big break as well, although it's for a short bit. When I heard about the premise of this movie, which deals with the most incompetent terrorist group ever. I thought it was going to be another "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" which is a film that came out on the same year. But it's more like a mix between "The Dictator" and "This Is the End" except way a way lower budget. I think the reason why this comedy didn't get as much recognition is because it didn't have many well known Hollywood actors and because of the content. Although it's more of a film that mocks the terrorist than anything else.7.5/10

Simon Jones I got dragged to the cinema to watch this crock and boy was I not happy with it. Most of my friends were persistent in liking it but that is probably more from stubbornness than to give ground to my view in that this was some grotesque trash.Anyways I've just got home and caught the end of this trash on channel 4 before the football started and aside from some amendments to the TV product (advertising purposes), I'm still revulsed by this nasty fair.What the hell is so funny about 4 protagonists who, through the usual disillusioned tripe, want to execute innocent people? How in God's name is that funny? Oh, I know, we'll take the edge off by making sure they're morons. Does it work? Does is frank.The 4 protagonists are frightening, irrespective of their 'hilarious' incompetence.Firstly, we have Barry, a hate-filled idiot, convert, who is potentially the most horrid of the lot, who gets blown up whilst choking. Secondly, the comically lovely chap Faisal, who accidentally and 'hilariously' blows himself up. Thirdly we have Waj, who is the personification of 'who is more the fool? The fool or the fool that follows him', who blows himself up whilst asking for further instruction. Finally, we have the 'brains', Omar. What's so funny about him you ask? Absolutely nothing.The only proposed funny entry in his character is that he doesn't know how to fire the first stinger launcher that has been put in his hands. If you thought that was funny and rounded his character off then I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest and I would suggest you punch yourself in the face with a 5 iron at every opportunity, it won't make much of a difference.Omar's character is the most dangerous because this is how 'terrorists' irl work. They merge. There is nothing remotely funny about this. His wife works in a hospital and acts as a contact for him and is a fully paid up member of the psycho-squad. Too close to home? Damn right it is.I always find myself wanting to write reams, to be more comprehensive in my critique but I'm not getting paid for it so I'll leave that up to the ones that do. In short this is just not funny. Not that I'm saying you can't make this dangerous material funny but it would take far more skill than what's been illustrated here, by a long way.The only funny-ish part of the film was the marksman scene, when they get mixed up on whether or not to shoot something like a wookie or a honey-monster (something like that) but it was so out of place in the overall context of the film that it was like farting in a funeral.As for the actors, well, they did was asked, I guess. I only know of Kayvan Novak, who was brilliant, in the excellent, Sirens but I wouldn't be surprised if this tasteless trash will detract from their workability.Bad, bad, horrible.
