I sat down to watch this movie thinking it would be nothing but pointless sci-fi nonsense. What I got was one of the greatest spoof movies ever. Thanks Mel Brookes!... Full review

Mel Brooks is so funny in this, one of his best. Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, FUNNY. Dom Deluise as Pizza the Hutt, hilarious. John Candy as Barf, a howl(pardon my pun.) Mel Brooks as Yogurt, love it.... Full review

This movie parodies several sci-fi movies and shows mainly Star Wars. Like most parodies it is hard to make it bad and almost always is funny! The acting was great the story was sort of lazy but works for this kinda... Full review

Spaceballs does generate some smart humorous ideas, but in the end it comes away being too dim-witted to fully enjoy.... Full review

This movie is funny as hell at some points and boring as hell at some others. One scene slows the whole picture down for 10 minutes but luckily the rest of the film is funny enough to look past that scene.... Full review

Indeed, there's practically nothing fresh about Spaceballs .....because they tended to be more commercially successful than his other films....But Spaceballs lacks the machine-gun fire, joke machine-like pace of Blazing Saddles or other non-Brooks hits like Airplane....does it have the appealing characters and strong story that buttressed Young Frankenstein .....though the optical effects betray a higher level of grain..... ...

While Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers (as the C-3PO look alike Dot Matrix) have their moments, this film will always rest on the humorous laurels of Rick Moranis and John Candy to make it great.....Unfortunately, Spaceballs seems to grow dimmer as opposed to brighter as time marches on -....Spaceballs is hilarious, but it requires a bit of time between each watch.....If you ask someone what their favorite Sci-fi spoof movie is, chances are Spaceballs will be mentioned.....It's not even Mel Brook ...

I can just remember the parts of the movie that were the best. I am a huge lover of Mel Brooks movies and this one is the best ever. There is a little romance between Lone Star and the Princess and lots of action and funny fighting. ... Full Review
