I wanted to stop watching it, and go reread Wonder Woman: the Circle, which features Nazis versus gorillas. While not the main story, at least that is more fun in how it's executed.

I personally did not enjoy the comedy or the approach they took to the film, but I know a lot of people who did oddly enough. I also wish they played the film more straight.
Hey, at least we have the new wolfenstein coming up.

Amen to both of you.
It was, for me, the exact opposite of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter which, I expected to be full-bore fail but rather, turned out to be such enjoyable fun on so many levels.
Taking the absolutely absurd premise and, playing it in all seriousness, worked wonderfully, IMHO.
Had they done the same with Iron Sky, gone into the actual history and "science" of it all with the Glocke, SS Gen. Kammler and the like, they could have pulled it off. Instead, a stale morality play with a few, very few snickers such as the bit with North Korea.
