Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
TheLittleSongbird As has been said before in my reviews for the previous six 'Police Academy' films, the best of the 'Police Academy' films will always be the original by quite some way. It isn't great and will never be a favourite comedy or overall film of mine, but it clearly knew what it wanted to be so it was easy to take it for what it was and what it set out to do.It was followed by six sequels, and none of them were as good or even on the same level as the first, though admittedly some are worse than others. Most of them are actually being pretty bad or worse and lose what was enjoyable about the original in the first place. While it was with the fourth film where things properly got particularly stale, it was from the fifth film where finding redeeming qualities proved to be difficult, with the sixth film and especially this one being particularly bad.Just in case you're wondering why all the seven films were watched, mainly it was curiosity to see as to whether the sequels were as bad as their reputations, to see if they were that bad or if it was a case of going against the general consensus (which honestly has happened with me before).'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow' is the worst of the series and is the first time in a while where watching a film (which always helps me forget any troubles and is a favourite pastime) feels like the viewer is serving a life sentence of their own. Not even some nice locations can save it because a gorgeous city is not used in its full majesty. The previous sequels ranged from tolerable to terrible but still had a couple of casting bright spots or gags that just about worked. 'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow' has neither of those, it's completely devoid of laughs and has no redeeming qualities, as the locations are pretty wasted here they are not enough to count as one.Only a few of the original cast members return, but are reduced to acting even stupider than before and looking bored while all their material is one-joke and no longer funny, instead being dull and annoying and saying it's gone beyond breaking point doesn't feel enough. Charlie Schlatter, if can be humanly possible, manages to be even blander and more ill at ease than Matt McCoy.And what possessed great actors like Christopher Lee and Ron Perlman to take part? Lee tries but has very little to do, an unforgivable waste of a screen icon who could turn lesser material into gold when able and a crime that none of the other films committed. Perlman constantly looked like he regretted doing the whole thing, the embarrassment and lack of enthusiasm is all over his face the whole time he's on screen.'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow' is so amateurish-looking it makes the previous sequels, all of which looked cheap, look like Best Cinematography/Editing Oscar winners. There is nothing memorable about the soundtrack, while the direction gave the sense that the director didn't know what he was doing.Like the sixth film, the premise was stale by the fourth film but now it is a case of an increasingly thin and repetitive premise stretched to breaking point and now with this film beyond that. The film is completely laughter-free, with recycled material that passed its sell by date long ago, and at worst the writing and gags are worse than infantile, swaps genuine hilarity, wit and cleverness for a distasteful mean-spiritedness, low-brow smut (that would make the crudest 'Carry On' films seen sophisticated in comparison) and juvenile vulgarity.In summary, absolutely awful and the worst of the 'Police Academy' films. Mercifully, no more was made after this. 1/10 Bethany Cox
Jamesfilmfan905 Police Academy 7 was the last film in the franchise returning in 1994 after a 5 year hiatus and . I myself wish the hiatus itself had been extended permanently this film is the absolute pits 1 its not even funny , 2 the jokes are obviously recycled from the previous films and other comedy movies of the same genre and era , 3 barely any of the regular actors are in this and the ones who are in this film just look bored and embraced like they don't wish to be their . In short give this police academy movie a miss stick to parts 1 - 3 only where they are actually and watchable trust me give this one and the 3 sequels before this a pass . Trust me i am doing you a favor you'll thank me afterwords .
Herr Gruber Resting down on the toilet, I released my bowels.Police Academy: Mission To Moscow splattered all over the toilet bowl.Good lord, it stunk. I mean really, really stunk. I had to open the window.Mrs. Blandflapp from next door could even smell it. " Hey, Gruber! Have you been shitt*ng out Police Academy 7 again? Stop it or I'll take legal action."This 'movie' is truly a shocker. It lacks humour, atmosphere and virtually everything else required to make a film watchable.My insane cousin loves it, though. He splits his pants at the sight of Lassard getting into a funeral hearse and later spitting out an egg. He drips urine at the sight of Captain Harris dressed as a ballerina. My cousin is also completely mental and dangerous.
Kristine Oh how sad is this, I finally finished the Police Academy series, with the first 4 sequels, I was actually looking forward to the last of the bunch, but as it turns out, everyone was right, Mission to Moscow fails and falls flat on it's face. There was no laughing at all on my case and I was actually looking forward to this movie. I loved the first few Police Academy movies, so I didn't see why I couldn't love the last couple sequels, but at this point, I think they were just trying to milk the Police Academy series for all that it was worth. There is only 2 of the original classmates back together and we have Harris, Harris is the only funny character these past couple of sequels. Mission to Moscow really doesn't try and is without a doubt the worst of the sequels and was a waste of my time, the story was weak and the characters were lame.The team is sent to Moscow, Russia to help them out with the Russian Mofia and their crimes. The Russian Mofia is distributing video games and is brain washing the entire world with the record breaking sales they are making. But the team plans to go under cover and take down the idiot criminals who are beyond hard to believe that they could even spell let alone take over the world or security systems with their minds. Lasard must try to make sure the team can do this while trying not to embarrass the American cops and their reputations.Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, I wanted to trust this movie, I watched it with an open mind and am very disappointed. We only have Harris and Winslow to pick up the team with the laughs, but even they couldn't hold it together enough to make this movie funny. It's just trying too hard and was nothing without the old gang, it would have been so much cooler if they had the original cast back for the last movie, but I don't know if there were plans to make another Police Academy, but I'm glad they didn't. Police Academy: Mission to Moscow wasn't good, I wouldn't recommend it at all, it was lame and a sad ending to a funny series.1/10
