A perfectly enjoyable geeky movie, an interesting concept that is good but wont appeal to a lot of people, but it's still a good movie from beginning to end.

I don't quite understand the dislike for fanboys, maybe it's like marmite: you either love it or you hate it.
Maybe to get a lot of the jokes and feel... to even empathise with the characters plus their actions you need to be similar to them,I don't quite understand the dislike for fanboys, maybe it's like marmite: you either love it or you hate it.
Maybe to get a lot of the jokes and feel... to even empathise with the characters plus their actions you need to be similar to them, which for many may be a problem as not all of us a militant Star Wars fans.… Expand

A group of friends go on a trip to break in George Lucas' house to steal a copy of star wars episode 1 so that their cancer ridden friend can see it before he dies. Seeing this movie in 2019, a time in which fandoms are unfairly and unjustlyA group of friends go on a trip to break in George Lucas' house to steal a copy of star wars episode 1 so that their cancer ridden friend can see it before he dies. Seeing this movie in 2019, a time in which fandoms are unfairly and unjustly attacked, vilified and demonized in the constant for the sake of censorship and fake virtues, this movie is an oasis. A tribute to fandoms everywhere, Fanboys feels like a movie made by fanboys for fanboys. No it is not the best movie ever, but it has it where it counts and that is its heart and it's a damn enjoyable movie, especially if you are a geek/nerd.… Expand

This tribute to Star Wars is so much fun. 4 nerds are trying to see the new Star Wars moive before it comes out in cinema. But I think this movie is not for everyone.

Great chemistry among all of these characters. The cameos are really what makes the film so enjoyable to me, there are so many random famous people popping up throughout the movie. See if you can find em all! This is a movie that you have toGreat chemistry among all of these characters. The cameos are really what makes the film so enjoyable to me, there are so many random famous people popping up throughout the movie. See if you can find em all! This is a movie that you have to have at least seen Star Wars to enjoy and if you understand nerd culture than it'll be worth a few laughs for you.… Expand

I think this is a funny and enjoyable movie for Star Wars fans that others can not enjoy on the same level. The story is set in 1998 and Star Wars Episode 1 is announced. Because their friend Linus has terminal cancer and will not be aliveI think this is a funny and enjoyable movie for Star Wars fans that others can not enjoy on the same level. The story is set in 1998 and Star Wars Episode 1 is announced. Because their friend Linus has terminal cancer and will not be alive when the movie is released in cinema an old (silly) plan from their childhood is reactivated. They want to break into the Skywalker Ranch and steal the movie aka rough cut for their friend. This starts their odyssey. Like I said this is a comedy for Star Wars fans that other probably wont enjoy that much. However since I am a fan this gets a pass. It is a funny tour the force against the odds. It even got George Lucas blessing and a lot of cameos from a lot of bigger names in the industrie. Because of the small budget from slightly less than 1 million and the passion of the whole team and actors I wont say anything negative. They put their hearth and soul into it and I have seen much weaker big budget Hollywood productions. Overall I repeat the statement that it is a movie for Star Wars fans. Maybe not a must see but definitely entertaining. I gave an 8/10.… Expand
