Review of Overlord (2018) by Berik — 05 Jul 2020
Imagine a historically accurate WW2 movie with true to life discrimination, racism and responsible personalities that don't like killing or being in Germany. Now toss that out of a window, and suspense your sense of disbelief for Overlord. Overlord is a Horror/Science fiction movie set in WW2 about a squad that has to take out a tower on a church held by Germans. But somehow, the Germans have found Mr. Hyde juice underground, and inject people with it to turn them into 70's horror characters. Apart from an American GI Joe that watched too many not yet existing movies and some whiny stereotypes, it's basically a woke squad of 5 people against a German army.
Plot armor and PC culture save the day, as an African-American private (didn't happen because of racism) and a French hooker cliché their way to victory. That's really all I can say without spoiling this contrived Sitcom of a movie. The little kid in this movie is hilarious though. He makes funny (out of place) faces, and runs into gunfights while screaming as if he's doing a Rohirrim charge. I think he was supposed to star in a home alone movie, but got the studios mixed up and now plays in a WW2 horror movie.
It's an average movie. I give it a 6/10.
