Watch All the Queen's Men For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

A different way of telling a story

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

If you're not a complete European-Theater WWII geek like me, you won't get half the hard work, attention to detail, and humor of this film. And you probably won't enjoy it much. There's another review here trying to put it into a box - "Comedy? Drama? Espionage" - but anybody with any sense knows those are just American marketing genres, used by lazy agents and publishers. Don't get me started. Now we've talked about the reviewer's attitude, on to the review:Okay, how come the goofiest movies have the BEST costumes, sets (indoor and outdoor, including buildings), technologies, cars, weapons - and even a JU 52 that flies? And a social message about how women have to survive in a fully masculinized society. Did anybody know Eddy Izzard could speak German like that? There's no "Achtung!" or "'raus!" lines in this one - the German speakers speak fast and at length, and there are some wild puns on the move. "We're not loose women," followed by "And we're the tough guys," in German is literally, "We're not light girls," followed by "And we're the heavy boys." German women actually do have a tradition of defending themselves with fast talk, and in a patriarchal society like the Third Reich, this movie demonstrates how much they had to. The scene in the factory, with all the women, from many different countries, getting their speech translated by a delighted young man, is priceless. And yes, many people went to Germany for a job during the war - just like they come to the United States during our wars. Don't start imagining your own present-day costumes and uniforms and security for this movie, if you're an American; you will seriously get the willies.Combat scenes: In this movie, when people have been in combat they come out looking like crap instead of just slightly rumpled. Speaking of, nobody ignores how a European sewer actually smells. There is gagging.And yeah, the movie crew built the German tanks - but at least they're based on the real ones, instead of some flat Swedish thing with an Iron Cross painted on the side.If you want to see all the parts of an Enigma machine scattered on a scarf... Poor Matt LaBlanc - his face just sticks him with these roles forever; he can never play anything but Joey. Somebody must have included the last scene with the Red Tab for his grandfather. Nothing could have made a front-line British soldier happier than watching an old British sergeant finally paste a self-satisfied upper-class British General in the face. Shout-out to Granddad!

I mean, its not the worst film ever, but it's up there. I picked up this for £1 - yes £1 - at Woolworths and I can honestly say it was worth NO MORE. I picked it up because I like Matt Le Blanc - but not as an actor - and seeing him in drag was, well, disturbing. That's pretty much the only word to describe this movie - disturbing. You can forget horror films which have millions of complaints on the message board for being disturbing - if you really want nightmares, watch All the Queen's Men.They could have made this film so funny - Eddie Izzard and Matt Le Blanc? I expected it to be really, really entertaining and it really, really wasn't. There are about, I think, three funny moments which made me LAUGH, but the rest of it was so SERIOUS - yes it's about war, but it's also about men dressing up as women! If you want to see a FUNNY film with men in drag, go see Some Like It Hot. Stay away from this. If you like Eddie Izzard, then maybe it's worth watching. If you like Matt Le Blanc, don't watch it. If you want to see a poorly done, badly acted, disturbing film - watch it! And finally - if you really do want to see it, only watch it if it's on television or get it online, but don't spend money on it, unless it's £1 or less. Trust me, it is NOT worth it.

... come on people, it's a comedy! And deserves so much more than its 3.4 rating. Eddie Izzard & Matt LeBlanc are in it for heavens-sake! And they're funny! They have to sneak into a nazi female run factory to steal the Enigma Machine. Eddie Izzard is accustomed to dressing up like a tart, but Matt LeBlanc catches up quick"! It's meant to be taken with a pinch of salt (as in; not seriously). Eddie is always funny, even when the rest of the movie hasn't much flesh to get your teeth into (I'm thinking of Disneys; 'The Wild' which is tragicly tragic except for Eddie Izzard who gives the voice to Nigel the trashy Koala). Matt LeBlanc probably got scared off by critics after this and went to hide in some cave and we haven't seen him since. If you guys hadn't bashed his attempts so hard, Matt LeBlanc would still be three inches tall trotting around our TV screens. But you lot have frightened him off - shame on you! LOL

As a die-hard Eddie Izzard fan, I saw this on Sky last year purely because he was in it.Although there are moments where disbelief isn't just suspended but actually needs to fly, this is not an easily forgettable piece of curiosity Euro-fluff.Erudite, surprising, challenging and genuinely moving, it gives all the central characters enough play to not just be foils to Matt LeBlanc's ill-at-ease, super-macho American.Overall, well made and worth the time and trouble of getting hold of a copy...
