Watch Agent Ranjid rettet die Welt For Free

Best movie ever!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

"Agent Ranjid rettet die Welt" is a German movie from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. It is one of the more known works by director Michael Karen. The writing cast includes of no less than 4 people including Dieter Tappert, who is more known as Paul Panzer here, and Kaya Yanar, the German/Turkish comedian who is the star of this entire project. By the rating you can already see that this film was not entirely well-received, but while I did not think it was a good film, I still believe that it may not be a catastrophe either. It is basically what you'd expect: a film, in which Kaya Yanar plays his most known characters from his television shows and stage performances. There is nothing positive here that surprises you really, but there are also no negative surprises for the most part. I thought this was what you could expect just like with other German comedian who all have at least one trademark film like Atze Schröder or Mario Barth or a handful more.The problem for me was partially that I did not find the Ranjid character too interesting ever. It is really just an uninspired stereotype for 90% of what he does and also he just doesn't go well with comedy I believe. The body guard guy is slightly more entertaining, so luckily he gets a fair share of screen time too, which elevates the material at times. But he was also looking to much unrealistically like a hero, which totally goes against the James Bond spoof, even if that one mostly refers to Ranjid of course. There are cameos by several other people from the German entertainment industry like Keller, Kalkofe, Gerhardt, Kebekus, Herforth... Anyway, I thought it was nice for once to see Gode Benedix playing a major character as he is an actor I like and you rarely get to see too much from him. Of course he did not save the material either here. Speking about the material, it is certainly disappointing that this level of quality is all they could come up with from no less than four writers. A good aspect though is that the film is really really short, runs for 82 minutes only and this includes a great deal of closing credits too. As a whole, I'd really only recommend it to people that really love Kaya Yanar as he is the center of the film from start to finish. I myself think he is a better comedian and host than actor and this film gets a thumbs-down from me, but like I said it is not as disastrous as some people say it is. Oh yeah, final note here: Rutger Hauer plays the main antagonist which I found kinda surprising as he is actually still somewhat of a big name, even today. But he is as weak as the material surrounding him and when he had to rush in trademark lines from Yanar character ("Was guckst du?), it was a bit on the embarrassing side for sure. Yeah like I said, watch something else instead and don't get your expectations up for a film where the biggest female character is named Viagra van den Hupen.

Really? One of the reviewers liked this? Really????? No way, not funny believe me, I love I mean I used to love Kaya Yanar, now he is one of the worst comedians out there. Never change a running system and he did so no Kaya for me ever again. This is such a bad movie its not to be imagined. First, the stupid songs, then something unfunny about Ranjid, much kicking in nuts, bad effects and stuff, awful enemy (really, breasts killing men????? What were they thinking or what were they smoking? I really hope this movie ruined the producers, ruined everyone that was involved into this bull***** and ruins kayas carees. Wait. It did. And yes. Thats why i did not attempt to your public presentation benefiz! You destroyed a Kids chance because you screwed with me with this movie. Why do I even bother...

I liked it! If you're seeking for witty, elevated humor then this movie is not for you. Blundering secret agent Ranjid reminded me of Rowan Atkinson's Johnny English. Main villain Freak van Dyk is played by my favorite actor Rutger Hauer, of whom I've seen more than a hundred movies.A lot of the jokes are a little lame, but I still had to laugh a lot. As a Dutchman I appreciated the many, many jokes about Dutch habits and peculiarities. I especially liked the orthopedic clogs, orange clothed henchmen, and of course Freak van Dyk's car with very Dutch travel trailer. Production design and visual effects are very nicely done.

... never a good idea. At least in Germany it isn't. They don't seem to be able to get the magic from their shows into a feature length movie. Same goes for this one, wherein Kaya Yanar (from "Was guckst Du?" fame/TV-Show) tries to capture the magic he had. Never really achieves it. While his skits were funny, they were also short ones. Extending the characters and their presence never works out. Or to be fair very rarely works out for him.But he still managed to get Rutger Hauer for it (who is able to speak some of his lines and maybe dubbed them later himself too). To call his character (or any other for that matter) silly, would be an understatement. Then again Adam Sandler seems to be able to make a lot of money out of similar variables. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for Kaya he seems to fall more into the Eddie Murphy (also playing around 20 characters, roughly) category, when it comes to recent "success".
