Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

awesomematthew22 This mini-series parody is a classic examples of comedy, gleefully ripping apart the poorly made series' of the 70's. One of the funniest things about this film is seeing famous actors, Tobey Maguire, Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba, etc, doing some of the most outrageous acting ever. My favourite jokes used in the film was the film making jokes like toy cars being pulled by strings, 3-D and many more. In Australia this was straight-to-DVD, much like many great films, was not seen by many people, which was a sad event since this was a hilarious journey that i recommend to everyone who likes a laugh. The Story is about one family and the oil company that they will do anything to keep their business afloat.

Zachary Lane Eric Jonrosh's (Will Ferrell) The Spoils of Babylon is the definition of quality spoofing. The campy storyline set to make fun of soap operas and bad book-to-movie adaptions just makes it all the more enjoyable. This miniseries is off the norm, like I expected due to the other series made on IFC. It takes all guidelines for filming a TV show, throws it out the window, burns it, compacts it to ash, and then resurrect their own rules from those ashes. The Spoils of Babylon takes all those hilarious things from SNL and transforms it into a full length TV show. Will Ferrell plays a fantastic burnout Author by the name of Eric Jonrosh, while Kristin Wiig plays her funniest role yet as Cynthia Morehouse, and Toby Maguire plays the oblivious and outrageous Devon Morehouse. The smart witty dialogue and the effects that are supposed to make you groan, all work together to make the best parody show in the last few years.

qormi This show is very original and too funny to describe. Will Ferrell plays an insane best-selling author who financed and directed a miniseries based on one of his novels. It took three years to complete the filming (1976- 1979) and the result is a ridiculously stupid farce that was finally released 35 years later. Kristen Wiig steals the show as she plays the author's wife in her only acting role. Her hammy acting and crazy facial expressions are genius. The crazy director even sought to save money by trying to pass off a mannequin in one of the leading roles. Not only that but the special effects are so phony...miniature buildings and cars, strings showing holding up airplanes...too much fun!

atlasmb After watching the first episode of this new show by IFC, I felt entertained.This is a parody. Those who do not appreciate parodies should not bother. Spoils of Babylon feels like an extended Saturday Night Live skit. If you don't like SNL, don't bother watching.Expect trite dialogue, bad special effects, and intentionally sappy acting. That is the point.I intend to keep watching. I hope they can introduce some unexpected story turns that will keep the show interesting.Kristen Wiig and Tim Robbins start out strong.
