Worth the money!

Okay, it´s not as funny as "Der Schuh des Manitu" but since i have neither seen "Der Schuh..." or "Die Bully parade" before i saw this movie, i was somewhat "free to enjoy" the jokes (so many complain about being recycled) as new and fresh. I admit, some jokes were a little low but overall an entertaining movie. Bully was great as Mr.Spuck and so was Rick Kavanian as Schrotty (and especially Jens Maul!) The tricks (FX) in this movie were great and don´t have to hide behind Hollywood, because they couldn´t do it better!! Only flaw: To much Til Schweiger! The (T)Raumschiff-crew should have been more used and the time in the Wild West was a little to long. No complain about the middle-age though, simply because of Sky du Mont and his "kings assistent". They were great. ;)

Overall 9/10
