The Pink Panther 1963 vs 2006

Since Claudia has said enough about the story, so I'm going to skip it again. In terms of my point of view, I do find difficulties on understanding the sense of humour in the time of 1963. Therefore, I found 2006 Pink Panther more easy to understand. Indeed, I have to say some of the "funny moments" are a little bit lame.

Inspector Clouseau

To me I prefer 2006 Clouseau more than the 1963 one. Both of them have assent a french assent. However, Steve Martin has done a great job on giving just french assent but more funny one. Inspector Clouseau is meant to pretend he knows everything but he is not. Steve Martin has give me the best feeling that suits the character. However, like I said some funny was really too straight forward. They are not necessary to be humour but funny instead.

X factor

I have to say I have bias on 2006 because one of my favourite actor Jean Reno is there. He is a French Actor that actives in Hollywood for several years. Indeed, he does not have a huge role in the Pink Panther. However, he does a huge contrast on Inspector Clouseau that how dump Clouseau is. Well, it is often to have a trend nowadays is that the cast is always more important than the story itself.

Conclusion

I have to say 2006 wins because I don't really understand the funny part of the 1963 ones which makes me no point on commenting that a movie meant to be funny.

The Pink Panther 1963: 4/10

The Pink Panther 2006: 5.5/10

I understand that there shouldn't be french that speaks like this but this is definitely why I chose 2006 instead.
