Fortunately, this time I avoided all the hype, so I can’t be very disappointed. Iron Sky is a nice fun thing, no more than that. It works surprisingly well as direct-to-video sci-fi B-movie silliness, but, if behind the B-movie gimmick of Nazis in the moon, the creators wanted to hide a serious and ambitious political satire, well, we can’t say it was a success. There are some signs, yes, but the satire feels more like a middle-school reflection on “world politics and its afflictions” – eager, but at the same time too simplistic and superficial. As a parody, Iron Sky fails mainly because it’s hardly funny (do not confuse fun with funny). Thumbs up, but only reluctantly.

A trashy subject, a few film references, and a critical assessment of the current political situation do not make a good film - unless you go in with a fearless desire to step "over the edge" a few times. The idea gets full marks, but the execution is lacking, and many things are paradoxically saved by the very decent technical aspects.

A decent film for a single viewing. For me, it’s better than films like Fatherland, Madam Kitty, and Inglourious Basterds. And it has my favorite Liebling Götz Otto from such films as Marlene (2000) or The Girl of Your Dreams (1998).

It would need more wit and satire that wasn't so explicit and simple, but hats off for the idea and the way the filmmakers played not only with the effects, but especially with the design of all those Nazi flying saucers and space airships.

A parody of sci-fi that has everything! A caricature of Nazis, a caricature of funny homeless people from Armageddon or The Day After Tomorrow, a caricature of moral and heroic American Presidents or wise Secretaries of State.... And they are all perfect! It has its flaws in the cheapness of some of the special effects or the editing, but a story this insanely entertaining, beautifully affecting the ambivalence of today's political world, for which alien Nazis are far less of a threat than its own ego and power, doesn't deserve to be devalued because of it. Moreover, the visuals look really expensive in most cases, the final action set piece has momentum and even a slightly dramatic effect, and the two heroes are excellent, one with his surprisingly tolerable black wit and the other with his endless charm and cuteness (Julia Dietze deserves to break through in Hollywood). Only Adolf Hitler was missing, there aren’t enough caricatures of him.

Iron Sky is an incredible oddity of gigantic proportions, for which I can understand any rating. For myself, however, I have to say that I was not that impressed by this incredibly insane bullshit. I was honestly expecting to be royally amused at the expense of black humour (in this case, you have to be careful with the word "black"), but most of the jokes and innuendos went quite beyond me, and there were plenty of them. From the visual point of view it is not terrible, but it does have some issues – the explosions and fire effects were not very good. Incredible bollocks!

It's an inconsistent, unwieldy mess.
