I read some reviews on another board, they were pretty scathing. Bottom line is the jokes weren't funny. Not serious enough for a ripping thriller and not funny enough for high camp, even with Palin in the White House. Looks like direct to video from here.

And these are just the ones in English. Hope I didn't rain on anyone's parade but my own. I'm still going to see it. I read a very interesting series on comic once I think they were called "Luftwaffe 1946". I was hoping for more.

Well, I had the misfortune to attempt to view Iron Sky. It's bloody awful. The special effects are nice, but it's really bad when a "comedy" isn't funny. Maybe the Fin's laughed hysterically, but this film wasn't even bad enough to be funny. You are better off watching "Plan Nine from Outer Space".

Disappointing.

I've tried to watch this twice now and keep getting distracted. Plus, it's just kind of a really cheesy, bad film. But I think it's a deliberate spoof of sci-fi B movies.

While I do not think it is of the same high brow quality as Surf NAZIs Must Die, it might just do!
