nothimme *spoilers ahead*First, the man complains to God, so, God gives him what he wants - gives him His own power. Then, the God-man uses that power only to make the audience satisfied - he punishes the gang and the guy who took his place. And then, one stupid thing happens and he doesn't want that kind of power anymore. Really? If you can't manage it, don't make it. The script is too weak. You can't just make something like this a subject and throw it to the audience. The God-man got his revenge against the gang and the guy who took his place - and to do what exactly, make the audience happy?
lisafordeay Bruce Almighty is a 2003 fantasy film starring J Carry and tells the tale of a news anchor named Bruce Nolan who hates god (Morgan Freeman) so much he ends up gaining God's powers to see what he can do better. At first Bruce thinks it's great as his relationship with his girlfriend Grace Connelly(Jennifer Aniston) is on the rocks and he tries to make it better, he gets revenge on Steve Carrell's charcther Evan Baxter since he gets all the attention and at the end Bruce has to wonder is getting god's powers really that important to him.. There was slot of The Mask references in this(another Jim Carrey film) ranging from the mirror scene, the whole zero to hero charcther, both films had a hilarious alleyway scene. Overall Bruce Almighty was hilarious
Mihai Toma After failing to obtain the anchorman position he's been dreaming of for a very long time, Bruce gets into a fight with his girlfriend and starts blaming God for his miserable life. As a result, God gives him much more than a sign that he requested. Bruce is granted the powers of His, thus he starts playing around town. What he's about to find out is that it's much harder than he expected and that free will cannot be influenced in any way.It's a very interesting movie which presents a common person who receives superhuman abilities but soon realizes that life becomes out of a sudden a lot harder as every action of his has terrible consequences. It's presented in a very comical manner thanks to the skills of Jim Carrey, being able to make you laugh with almost every action he undertakes. Apart from the entertainment, it manages to be sad and emotional when required, thus creating a very pleasant atmosphere which you follow eagerly towards the finale. A very good comedy overall, thanks to some very good actors and a very well written and implemented plot.
Python Hyena Bruce Almighty (2003): Dir: Tom Shadyac / Cast: Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Philip Baker Hall, Steve Carell: Film about the suspension of self. Bruce Nolan works for a news network where he is bypassed for position as night anchorman. He lives with his girlfriend and a dog that uses the sofa as a toilet. He blames God for his misfortunes until God meets with him and proposes him his job. Bruce enlarges his girlfriend's breasts and makes his dog literally use the toilet. Provocative yet predictable with a touching climax. Directed by Tom Shadyac who previously collaborated with Carrey on the inferior Liar Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Jim Carrey displays our frustration and lack of understanding of who God is. Jennifer Aniston as his girlfriend is straight forward seeking to move on to the next stage of their relationship. She is merely a prop for sexual sight jokes. Morgan Freeman plays off the wisdom of God who steps aside and allows Bruce to realize the true nature of God although Bruce becoming the likeness of Clint Eastwood fails because it is the media concept of Eastwood instead of God's creation of him. Philip Baker Hall also makes an appearance, and Steve Carell is also featured in a sabotaging segment that doesn't elevate his comic potential to the heights it would later reach. Film demonstrates God's power and our inability to fathom it. Score: 7 / 10
