Action Point

honestly I don't whether am insane but for me this movie was a masterpiece that I watched it with my dad on CD like 5 times but now am also going to download it because for me it's fun sorry for those it didn't work for but fore am going to enjoy it another round

Man, I had so much F U N, while watching this masterpiece in an empty theater that I actually threw up on an old married couple out of pure shock; then proceeded to buy a ticket to the next showtime. Johnny Knoxville is this generation's Tom Cruise, and if you disagree then you are just a hater. People throwing themselves into dangerous situations is automatically funny! WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET THAT?!?! Those haters don't know what they are talking about, this is real art. If this doesnt get nominated for something I will actually burn down the academy myself. JACK ASS 4 LIFE YOOOOOO! 11/10 +Great Depth and Emotional Impact +Johnny Knoxville's Acting Career as a Ninja Turtle +Amazing Performances +Excellent Score +Cinematography +Oscar Worthy Sound Design -Over too soon.

Well, the bar is set pretty low considering the cast that stars in this movie. With a bunch of the people from "Jackass", then I kind of already knew what I was getting into here prior to sitting down to watch "Action Point". And true enough, this was essentially just an episode of "Jackass" upon which they had slapped the illusion of it being an actual movie. Sure, they had something that resembled a storyline, but let's be honest, this is all about the stunts, pranks and absurdity of what people are willing to put themselves (and others) through in order for creating entertainment. Entertainment... well, I use that word lightly here. Why? Well, because this was not the most interesting or entertaining of movies around. And I doubt that this will be a movie that causes much of a ruckus or any kind of stir. In fact, I believe it will vanish into oblivion in the same manner of under the radar as its existence came to be. If you are a fan of the "Jackass" crew and their stunts, then you will find some amusement in "Action Point" for sure. But if you sit down to watch this movie with the intention of being entertained by watching a proper movie, you will be sorely disappointing. Sure, some of the outrageous stunts were fun to watch, but hardly capable of sustaining a movie. I managed to sit through "Action Point" to the very end, although I can't claim to be properly entertained. And I know for a fact that this movie is not one that I will ever return to watch a second time around.

There is a certain stipulation that comes with any Jackass movie. You're not sitting down for an Oscar caliber movie. You're not expecting great film. Rather, you're coming to see a bunch of dumb guys getting hit in the nuts, falling into cacti, and wrestling with dangerous animals. The real life stunts, and the sh*t these guys put themselves through for a laugh, is why you go, and it is endlessly entertaining. With Action Point, star Johnny Knoxville is going in a different direction. Instead of the film just being a bunch of sketches and stunts edited together, there is an actual story going along with it. It's a real movie, with a narrative and characters and everything, but all the stunts are done for real in true Jackass form. The blend is an interesting idea, and it's one that made me actually kind of excited for this movie. Bad Grandpa had some narrative to it, and it actually worked out pretty well. But I was interested in seeing how it would work when they went completely in on it. And it works out quite well, actually. Action Point isn't a great movie, but it's entertaining as hell. I had an excellent time in the theater, cracking up laughing with all my friends, enjoying this movie. Is it stupid? Yes, absolutely. But if you like the style of humor that the Jackass movies present, then you're going to enjoy Action Point. The movie centers around D.C. (Knoxville) who, in his elder years, recounts to his granddaughter his glory days of operating a sketchy amusement park called Action Point.

***Minor spoilers*** Honestly...good idea for a movie if you want to see some Jackass like stunts without a Jackass movie. But every stunt is watered down and disappointing. Not that funny. I can still watch the Jackass movies and laugh uncontrollably at some points. This I'll never see again. Knoxville only does 5-6 stunts I can even remember. The best ones of which you've already seen in the previews. No actor in this movie is funny with the exception of Chris Pontius. I don't know why but he always seems to be the funniest part of things he's in. So he has some funny dialogue which is how this gets a 3/10. Everything else is super forgettable.
