Tropic Thunder is probably the best war-movie spoof of all time, playing around with all those cliches and conventions we've seen a million times before.

perfectly parodies the 'kill everything in sight and then blow it up for good measure' summer movie mentality.

More exhausting than funny, though it is often both, Ben Stiller's latest excoriation of ego wears you down with its smothering, pop-savvy cynicism.

Tropic Thunder is an easy film to enjoy. It appeals to the basest levels of humour without patronising its audience, while pricking the pomposity of the movie industry without going too 'meta' - this is far from self-fellation.

For years now, onscreen and off, [Tom] Cruise has seemed like a bottle of barely contained crazy; now we know what happens when the cork comes out.

Some of it is very funny, some of it is too broad.

Cruise and particularly Downey are something to behold: They give this Thunder its lightning.

Tiptoes to the fine line between irony and insight and blows it to smithereens. It's hilarious.
