Watch The Dictator For Free

hyped garbage

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I did not watch the film, but the advertising poster suggests to the rulers of the Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, not Iraq, Saddam, riding the horse, and there is no chin. The West destroyed the people of Iraq and kept the rulers of the Gulf /end I'm don't like saddam

I watched The Dictator on a whim expecting it to be a very typical comedy with funny moments and a clichéd plot. I guess I got exactly what I was expecting, I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Overall the plot of the movie is alright, it's predictable and clichéd but it's not awful by any means, it has a typical romantic subplot going on and is utterly predictable. The actual comedic content of the film wasn't that good. I'll admit it had some funny parts, and when it was funny it was really funny, but those parts were few and far between, surrounded by jokes that just didn't hit their mark. Some of the jokes seem like they were trying to fill space, they were repeated multiple times to fill a bit and only served to kill whatever humour was in the original joke. Other times the writers clearly thought a joke was good but it just wasn't funny. The movie certainly had promise, the characters were enjoyable and the premise was alright but when they're put together it falls short. On the whole The Dictator movie is alright to watch for a bit of fun while it's certainly no comedic masterpiece if there's nothing else on it's a bit of dumb fun.

+ Sacha Baron Cohen's outrageous but liberating total lack of political correctness. + The amazingly ridiculous beard of Aladeen. + Anna Faris' and S.B.C.'s unexpected chemistry. + The music and the songs, which are really good and greatly adds to the atmosphere and the humour. - "The Dictator" is not as wonderfully great and funny as "Borat...". Nothing is. Still, you can't help comparing.

After I saw Borat, I didn't find Sacha Baron Cohen as an actor whose movies are worth watching, but this film has completely changed my opinion. Believe me, The Dictator is one of the most hilarious comedies of ALL TIME!It's based on prejudices against Arabic terrorism, but so well done, that the main character, Admiral General Aladeen, who comes from Wadiya (a fictive country somewhere in the Arabic region), will make you love him despite all.Yes, Aladeen is cruel, terroristic, anti-American, but besides also a funny fellow and a one huge oaf, who, in the end, changes his personality (or so we may hope).It might not seem so, but it's full of situation funny moments and SOPHISTICATED jokes made so that they can be understood ambiguously.Some scenes from this hilarious movie has become cult scenes, such as The Helicopter Scene, which I highly recommend to watch.The Soundtrack is also worth a one BIG PLUS - catchy Arabic songs throughout the whole movie will get you! I personally recommend songs as Ila Nzour Nebra and Goulou L'Mama.What more is left to say? I love this movie and think it deserves a better rating.
