1941 (Spielberg,1979)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale (screenplay)
Cast: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Treat Williams, Ned Beatty, Lorraine Gary, Christopher Lee, Tim Matheson, Nancy Allen, Dianne Kay
I hated this movie with a red hot passion. I don't recall any other movie that annoyed me more than this 2 1/2 hour long comedy bomb. It was pure torture just setting through this monstrosity.
Just look at that movie poster! now image looking at that much stupid crap for 2 1/2 hours! Ugh....Steven Spielberg made a lot of great movies, but 1941 has got to be the biggest pile of film wasted he ever made. Nothing is funny, but it sure did grate on my nerves. And boy oh boy did he spend the bucks on special effects, he even pushes a house down a cliff. Just think of all the other films he could have made if he hadn't wasted so much money on this albatross!
The movie is loaded with stars from the late 1970s and that's about the only good thing the film has. It's a litteraly who's who of Hollywood at the time, but do we get to see these people shine? Hell no!....Mostly it's people looking into the camera and screaming nonsense all while the director spends untold millions making very large scale expensive shots, just for the sake of doing this piece of Hollywood.
If I had never seen John Belushi on Saturday Night Live or in The Blues Brothers, I would have thought him to be the biggest bore on the planet. Obviously he was talented as was rest of the cast, the fault lays with Spielberg's idea of humor that's geared towards 8 year olds....ugh.
I feel shell shocked after watching this stupidity.

A bunch of overly hyper morons make a huge mess of Hollywood as they prepare to be invade by the Japanese in the days after Pearl Harbor. CR
