Huh, this one is on my to-watch list, after I saw the series. It's the same premise, but obviously vastly different execution.

Wrote my review which -obviously- includes spoilers, but after sleeping on it I "upgraded" my score to 6/10.
It's just really not my genre.
 
Saw Magnum Force yesterday. Enjoyable movie, but nowhere near as good as the original Dirty Harry. Up next in the series: The Enforcer.
Review coming soon.

Now that would have been interesting to see. Shame he didn't do the movie. Then again his replacement was also great.

Next up, more Mel Brooks? If you liked Men In Tights, you'll like History of the World and Spaceballs, too.

Recently saw the first three Dirty Harry movies. Honestly I'd only suggest watching the first one. It's where Clint Eastwood shines the most. The other two movies are pretty meh (The Enforcer and Magnum Force).

Also saw all the Police Story movies, first Jackie Chan movies I ever saw, and I loved them all. Will definitely re-watch these someday. I also love how they show bloopers during the credits. And of course the fact that all stunts are REAL.

Also forced my way through the 4th Dirty Harry movie: Sudden Impact. Needless to say, I didn't enjoy it. Contemplating whether or not I should give the final movie The Dead Pool a try. The only good thing about Sudden Impact were the Callahan quotes. "Go ahead, make my day".
