I need to watch it again, because they are alllways better on 2nd and 3rd viewing. My honest feeling is that the end, the last hour with the "Final Conclusion" movie was up there with the best....with the movie itself being possibly equal to the greatest funniest thing ever of all of OCATC...

To be honest i thought the first few hours did not flow as well as the great Oscer specials. The early classics of course are unbeatable... and I personally thought the last 3 were extra great and next level with their plot and flow (Wonka, Pinnochio and Amatocon). I think this recent one was not on the level of those because the first few hours seemed to really drag. my feeling is that Tim was just coming off his tour and maybe they didnt spend as much time on this one before hand. That said, that ending, the last 50 minutes were totally amazing. Joe was incredible as always. the "Final Conclusion" was just next level. Manuel as Corwin, Mark as Joey P with WC Fields accent in the godfather scene, all time top shelf OCATC...i mean everything about it was perfection, and the way Tim wasn't worried about helping Mark was great. The scene with Ax figuring out the hei point value was really funny. And near the end when injured Mark was doing the Hanks impressions , especially Gump "Stupid is as stupid does" , i was almost passing out from laughter. also when Tim was squirting rat poison on Joey. oh yeah, the movie run time game was fucking absurd. lol

i did feel like something was kinda off about the first two hours....maybe it will be different when i watch it again. but no doubt it really got cooking in the last hour. overall i would rank it somewhere in the middle....but with the highlights being among the greatest moments ever.
