I remember this movie being a lot funnier when I saw it before, but it's really a lot more "silly" than it is "funny". The script is pretty weak, and a few of the characters are pretty bland. But the cast is strong, and Tim Curry is great as "Wadsworth".
The set-up is one that we're familiar with... six strangers are invited to dinner, someone dies, and the guests are all suspects. It's actually impressive how much it steals nearly…

This is a B-movie at its best. Clue should be forgettable fluffle that is completely forgettable and yet somehow it comes together. All of the performances are good and it's the cast chemistry that really shines here.

I loved this the first time I saw and I love it now.

This. Was. Absolutely. Delightful.
Tim Curry proves to be one of the most entertaining actors to ever grace the screen.
The movie whizzes by in no time, and had me consistently smiling and laughing.
I'm a huge murder mystery fan, and this film has one of my favorite twist ending(s) ever.
And it ends with just about the best final line ever in a movie.
But Murder by Death is still better.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Fun little film. Some of the jokes fall a little flat, but overall cute.

Movie #5 from my 1985: Birth Year Challenge.
A movie on the board game Cluedo (outside of North America). If you like murder mysteries (I do, I've always wanted to do one of those murder mystery evenings at a old mansion just like this) then you'll like this.
If you don't, you probably won't.
A few good one liners and slapstick humor scattered throughout.

Rounded by a very decent cast, Clue brings the board game into the screen and does not just lead us to one conclusion. There are twists and turns, and absolutely no coincidences. Headed by Tim Curry, the cast brings out several laughs and puns along the way; however, some were rather lacking, such as Mrs. Peabody. Curry stand way ahead of everyone else as he is the focus point for most of the film, especially the end(s). Eventually it came to the point when I become rather uninterested in very side character (and his or her murder) and just wanted to know who the murderer was.

Bei einem Film der auf einem Spiel basiert bei dem man herausfinden muss wer der Mörder ist, hatte ich erwartet, dass das beim Film ebenso ist. Allerdings sind mehrere mögliche Enden für den Film gedreht worden, was bedeutet dass der Film nicht darauf ausgelegt ist, dass sich eine der Personen übermäßig Verdächtig macht, da ja alle Optionen offen bleiben müssen für eines der Enden.
Also kein Film zum mit rätseln. Schade eigentlich.

Adaptation of the classic boardgame Cluedo that one paper you almost can't see working however, it just works a treat and continues to make me laugh. I think for me the reason for that lies in Tim Curry's performance, he is at his maniacal best and his energy ensures that the film keeps it's momentum right through to the very end.

Goddamn this movie is fantastic. It's one of those movies that's not really anything special, yet is one of teh greatest things in the world. It sucks you in, and everytime I watch it, my appreciation for it grows. One of the interesting things about it is that when it was shown in theaters, one of three alternate endings played, and it was totally random which one you would be able to see. When you start up the DVD, you…

Originally released with three different endings, so depending on which theater you saw it in you would get one of the three. I saw this in the theater in 1985, and then again on VHS. Both times I saw it, it had the same ending and I wondered if there really was another version. Well, they've combined them in the Netflix Instant version.
Pretty witty in parts with a fantastic cast, but the ending is a bit too madcap for…
