A.R.O.G (2008)
6/10
You shouldn't make an average movie as a sequel to a masterpiece, especially in a comedy.

G.o.r.a. Was a film that wrote the history of Turkish cinema. The jokes it contained deeply affected daily life and became a part of slang at the time it was released. On top of that, Cem Yilmaz was the king of Turkish stand-up. He was never dethroned, and someone who left such a mark on the era has never come again. Of course, the expectations for the comedy part of a.r.o.g have gone beyond the height of Everest and into space. In addition, g.o.r.a was perhaps the only example of its kind in that it was a satirical sci-fi parody of another famous satirical sci-fi movie.

Afterwards, a.r.o.g came as a sequel. Although the film's humor were perhaps a above average, it was never like it could exist in the shadow of its predecessor. Being a victim of your own success, really. When it is next to a giant, what could have been a sweet, enjoyable movie on its own, became a dwarf.
