Disgrace to Greek cinema.
monoclone23 January 2011
Movie is one of the worst ever. It's not worth to download it even for free!

It's a sequel to the hit movies of the 80's but unfortunately it doest live up to its reputation.

Production was cheap, direction was cheap, most of the actors were remotely acting. Whoever did the casting was not working in favor of the production.

Few scenes were funny but overall there was no plot or intellectual script behind this production.

The fact that they integrated some commercials into the so called script made the movie more cheap than it already was.

Im disappointed not because of the money i spent for the ticket but for the time i wasted to watch this movie. And believe me, if i hadn't been sitting in the center of the row i would have left the theater within the first 15minutes!

Absolute NOT-WATCH!
AiolosPly12 January 2011
Definitely one of the worst movies I have ever payed for in cinemas...

Only a few bits are approaching funny, but even those repeat themselves and become indifferent to the eye...The script is absent, and it reminds the old episodes but without any flare or interest. There are a few members of the cast that surprise and entertain, but they r not enough to save the shipwreck..

Very poor effort by the cast altogether, and the director who wanted to make this one for a long time. Cheap production, cheap result...the legacy is not fulfilled by this sequel.

It is disappointing to see so many people visiting the cinemas for such crappy productions.

One of the Worst Greek Movie Remakes - Stick to the 80s cult
yianniskarousos6 February 2011
i grew up watching the cult movies of the 80s of roda tsanta kai kopana, the first 2 were really funny that is why they had a huge success in Greece during their release.

when i heard about a remake i thought, what a great chance will be that to bring this movie to the 21st century. that is why i was one of the first who went to watch it. The movie was AWFUL. you hardly laugh during the movie, it has an amateur script, lots of mistakes unprofessional actors and most of the time you were watching flashbacks of the 80s series.

another point i really didn't like was that this movie was used by sponsors of the movie, an online casino and a telephone enquiries company in Greece, to advertise their products, it was so obvious in several parts of the movie but especially when the lyceum owner sits and comments how good the online casino is, says the website, and mentions you can play from home, at your own comfort etc, why that was there what was the need?

also in many times there was dub (when you talk over the movie which was asynchronous with the play)

Script wise, Directors wise, was a disaster its a pity that the production company, the directors and script writers did not exploited the opportunity and the success of the movie in the 80s to make a great comedy like the 80s ones

why was that movie released? a great opportunity was missed. (if there was grade 0 i would have used it)

A truly awful movie
Angelos797 March 2011
I am not old enough to have watched the original when it came out in 82, but i was acutely aware of its cult status. Though not a comedic gem, it has passed in Greek movie history, through frequent reruns, a few good one liners and some very enjoyable appearances of movie legends of the 60s in it...Even so, no one would say it was a "good" movie... Despite that, the 82 version becomes a masterpiece compared to this cinematic atrocity. Absolutely talentless young actors that look at least a decade older than high school students, an obvious lack of serious script combined with awful direction and ridiculous music, make this film a thing to be avoided... Add to that the complete lack of talent of the few returning actors and the trashy "special guests", and you have a pretty good reason for never going to the movies again... I am truly sad to see Kostas Voutsas involved in this. One of the best actors of his generation and an all-around favorite of Greek audiences, he should have never been involved in this...Very sad...

Do NOT even think of watching this
gogop4718 January 2011
I wasn't planning to go into details, as I don't think there is a point to it. So my first paragraph says it all.

All I will say is this: I have watched all sorts of movies in theaters, am a big movie and cinema fan. I have seen the best and the worst. And never have I left a movie theater before the end of the show... until today. The movie started at 23:48 and I was out of the doors by 00:11. I am not joking and I am not overreacting.

Nothing more needs to be said about this.

Well as it turns out I need to add more to this before I am allowed to post so here is some more info for those that got this far.

in 20 minutes of movie time that I managed to make myself sit through:

half the time was spent showing scenes from the cult 80's hit movie so the new movie offered nothing.

the old actors from the cult movie should have stayed retired as their acting was awful and the 2 scenes portraying the "new class" seemed to go out of its way to show their lack of skill.

there was no script to speak of. it seemed to me that the movie was gonna end up a 1 hour mash up of old scenes and hastily put together scenes to try to pass as a new movie.

Overall it seemed to me as a desperate effort to use an old brand name to milk some cash from people with absolutely no intent of giving anything to the viewer. This isn't a remake, it isn't a reboot, this is a sequel that uses the exact same name as the original which should illustrate how little they were planning to offer to people.

Maybe the worst Greek movie i have ever seen
skoloniaris1 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Having seen all three previous movies of the series that comes from the 80's, i expected something that follows the same lines. I was disappointed since the movie turned to be a very bad joke and a disgrace to the Greek movie scene.

I sincerely feel sorry for those who paid a ticket to see this movie on cinemas. The story (if there is any) is shallow, the scenery/photography is awful, the music is tragic, the actors act like its their first job, even though most of them were participating in the original 80's movies. The best actors in the whole movie are Kostas Katsouranis and Lefteris Pantazis which are a football player the first and a singer the latter and they both appear for a minute or so. The actual actors are unspeakable, unworthy to even mention them.

I watched the whole movie expecting to see a surprise that will add some interest to it, but to my disappointment the movie ended in the same awful way that it started.

If the creators of the movie respect themselves and the legacy of the Greek movie scene then they should withdraw every single copy of this crap and burn it.

The worst movie of Greek cinema
betavatzis-5109923 July 2018
This movie is for sure the worst ever, OK. But what did someone expect from Efstratiades? the director? Show me one of his movies which is worth seen? None!

Unimaginably awful, makes you feel sorry for yourself and lowers your self-esteem
panos-sinodinos4 June 2012
I am a big trash movies fan and grew up watching the worst products of TV and cinema.

So i decided to watch that film also...

5 minutes after it started i said to myself "ok, it might be just the beginning"

20 minutes after i said "ok, how worst can it be?" I was totally wrong, is was so awful that i wanted to go and ask for a refund and sue the cinema.

It's the worst thing my eyes have seen the last 30 years, its a complete waste and garbage, i almost felt sorry for my self who stayed and watched the whole film trying to find an excuse for the money i paid.

Also, its a disgrace for an actor like Voutsas to play in such a garbage, 50 years of great career just got erases with his participation in this "movie".

An artistic holocaust
billynord198029 August 2022
This is the last and hopefully final movie of the franchise.

Most people regard the old movies as culture classics but in all honesty after the first one the rest are pretty weak and careless.

AND EVEN THESE DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO THIS ATROCITY!!

First of all the story is terrible. No concept at all.

The acting is beyond horrific. Most of these guys are not legit actors anyway (Douzos and Matoula for example) and the real actors are just roaming around mumbling the script.

Anyway it takes a lot of courage to start this and a lot more to get through the middle. If you finish it you are a hero.

Not the worst of the franchise...
theromanempire-12 February 2021
Although I can understand those much negative reviews about this film from the fellow greeks I don't agree that this film is pure trash while the others from the 80s were.....gold. Already the 80s cult films were bad for what they were. sure they were a kind of fresh fun back then with a couple of laughs but don't kid yourself. excluding the first two films which were just average roda tsanta k kopana no 3 was poor and part 4 was even worst than the 2011 film. I agree this 2011 film is bad and the first three films were better but not the atrocious part 4. Also we can see this 2011 entry as a tribute to the older films. after all it's a kind of a reunion and u mostly watch it for.....nostalgic reasons. u don't expect much from it. for me it didn't hurt that I watched it once in the theater back in 2011 and even for a sort time I remembered the fun we had in the 80s. I even collected this for my dvd collection but sure if u are not a fan of the greek cult 80s films then u should skip this. All in all roda tsanta k kopana 1982 and it's first sequel were good for what they were but still they were not great films. just average. part 3 is also average but below the first two films while this 2011 entry comes next but it's even below average but i'm sorry guys the worst film in this franchise is not this film. it's the atrocious part 4 which was made years after the original trilogy.
