What do you want? If it's a serious character study, a psychologically challenging narrative, or a groundbreaking demonstration of modern CGI...why would you be anywhere near a movie called "Cocaine Bear"? If it's a fun, gory, hilarious, cheesy experience, then you'll definitely enjoy! Any movie that begins with citing Wikipedia as a source is telling you right off the bat, "Don't take this seriously, just turn your brain off and enjoy!" I did, and I did!

Pretty much delivered everything I could have hoped for based on the title! It isn’t exactly a character piece or a very compelling film, but it doesn’t need to be. A bear snorts/eats cocaine and goes on a violent rampage. What more could one want? The pacing was really the only thing that dragged it down for me. Easily could have included less people storylines and more carnage, but meh, dad and I laughed for the whole thing. I enjoyed the acting and the camp that is the Cocaine Bear.

I dunno man, when I say I expected more from Cocaine Bear, I can hear the irony when I say it. But it had a neat premise you could really make a B movie with- and it just didn't do much beyond gore. Missed opportunity.

Even as shut-your-brain-off fun, I can't find the pathway to enjoyable here. It delivers what it promises because there is a bear who does cocaine. In all other ways, it falls short. Yet another "everything fun is in the trailer" offering, with a solid premise that doesn't possess enough meat on its bones to be even a moderate-length feature. At the 75-minute mark, I was ready for it to be over; once the shock-and-awe wears off, which it will, there just isn't a good movie underneath.

Struck me during the scene where we watch the bear in profile wolf a big pack of drugs inch by inch down its gaping gullet that this is a film with the aesthetics and values of hardcore porn. Savor the lingering shots of the white powder swirling around the bear's nostrils, caking on its snout. Relish every last gob of grievous bodily harm. In between is comedians smirking and screeching, all but telegraphing: we know you're here to waste your time.

It's around the time that they asked, "How can we tie this into a complete story?" at the writer's table that they missed the boat on this thing. Coked up bear is enough, I promise you. A coked up bear is enough. I would say that at 65% attention this is probably perfect.

Cocaine Bear is exactly as advertised. A bear raging out on Cocaine and destroying everything that gets in the way.

There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes. See all films I've given a lower score. Where this falters is of course you can't use a real bear but I was expecting the kind of meme seeking falling-flat-on-face of Snakes on a Plane but it's a scooch more engaging than that.

The first attack rubbed me the wrong way (what's enjoyable about an innocent woman being mauled by a bear in front of her future husband ??) but the sheer craziness that follows won me over especially the ambulance scene and Margo Martindale.

I feel like once you get past the premise, which is admittedly amusing and has made every single person I know chuckle, you're left with a movie that doesn't have enough laughs to be a good comedy and not enough scares to be a good horror. It's kind of lifeless, honestly. With that said, I've seen plenty of stuff that is less entertaining than this, so while I can't give it a passing grade, it's close.

It was as advertised, and it added a bit of crime-themes to the animal attack gig to try and flesh it out. It could be brutal at points, some moments felt more realistic, more visceral than Leonardo DiCaprio vs the bear in Revenant, though they quickly bring it back into the funny gore by turning it over the top. Liotta was a surprise, RIP. There were longer moments toward the end, I guess the novelty starts wearing off a little, but overall it was fun.

It's difficult to think that a movie w this title could fail to meet my rather low expectations, but this manages just that. There are good moments. They include the bear. 90% of the time the bear isn't on screen the movie is a snooze. It felt like it was trying too hard to focus on the elements of the story we don't care at all about. Also RIP to Ray Liotta. What a way to go out. 5.4

Despite its missed potential, “Cocaine Bear” is still an enjoyable and amusing ride. The commitment to its absurd premise, entertaining set pieces, and capable ensemble cast make it worth a watch. However, the film's scattered narrative and lack of commitment to its irreverent nature hold it back from being a truly great achievement.

A bear on cocaine goes on a murderous rampage. When the bear is killing people, it's a pretty fun time with lots of novelty gore. However, when the bear isn't killing people the movie grinds to a halt. A pretty solid cast is mostly squandered on a formula script that offers zero surprises or interesting characters. It also kinda wastes its mid-80s setting by failing to reference or mention it after the first 5 minutes. A decent attempt at neo-Grindhouse that falls well short of greatness.

The bear did freakin cocaine. It was nice to see this in a theatre with a bunch of idiots (myself included) who were wanting to like it. From the opening scene they were laughing, a little too much, but whatever. More gore than I was expecting and while never scary the kills are a lot of fun. The ambulance responders scene in particular. Definitely teeters into being too freakin epic at times tho. Ray liotta goes out on top

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of th

I'm wary of movies that become internet sensations before their release, and was cautious of Cocaine Bear's potential to be good. However, the movie is a fun, if not campy, B-movie with an appealing cast that delivers the promised murder-bear-on-cocaine goods with dark humor and gore. While it may not be great, it's an amusing and enjoyable film that we need right now.

A lukewarm attempt at a grindhouse film. All you had to do was give a bear cocaine and let a bunch of crazy shit happen. With a movie like this, you have to crank it up to 11. They cranked it up to about 6. This is a mid movie, which in this context, where the premise of this movie is to be shocking and action packed, means it is a bad movie. it missed the mark. Cocaine Bear committed the cardinal sin of cinema: it was boring. This movie is more like Dayquil Bear.

At times mildly amusing but there's ultimately just not enough here to justify a feature. None of the characters really distinguish themselves, though Liotta is kind of fun in a very limited role. None of them really have a ton to do, though. There are longish portions of it that are pretty surprisingly boring given the premise. There's just not a ton here, but it's about what you'd expect from the concept.

Similar to Snakes on a Plane or Sharknado, this is a movie that doesn't have high ambitions beyond its silly logline. It's a mixed bag, but the cast has great comedic timing and chemistry, so a lot of the dialogue scenes are pretty funny. At times, the gross-out gore feels a little over the top, but how much can you expect from a movie called Cocaine Bear?

Knowing it was a comedy, I didn't expect this much uncensored gore. I think going back and forth between silly, cheesy comedy and gore porn (with the occasional window into how absolutely terrified you really should be of bears) just.. doesn't mesh well. Actually, everything that goes on in this movie is like, tangentially related and inconsequential. Maybe to be expected when you see it in a movie like this, but then why bother putting it in? It doesn't add any interest. /shrug Can't recommend.

As a comedy, it just wasnt funny. As a thriller you knew that it was not meant to be taken seriously, so wasn't in the least bit thrilling. This was really disappointing. All the "humour" was derived from gruesome dismemberment (unless I missed a lot because of the poor sound quality) and that CAN be funny, but the script missed so many opportunities. The ambulance scene had potential but there is nothing comedic about scraping someone along a road. Just watch the trailer, you wont miss anything

Genuinely fun. The movie sets up a lot of enjoyable set pieces to explore the absurdity of its concept and there's a colorful cast of characters that bounce off each other and the titular bear in interesting ways.

Amo demais filmes que tratam de mommy issues, embora muita gente ache "corny" ou algo que o valha (como muita gente reclamou do último filme dos Daniels), para além da premisa engraçada de um urso louco de pó, há o paralelo entre a mãe humana e a mãe ursa para além da questão do "homem versus natureza". Jeanne Dielman é meu filme favorito e também lida a questão materna de forma drástica, por mais filmes dirigidos por mulheres que contemplem essa questão e que se enalteçam no próprio simbolismo.

It gets kudos for turning the real life story into an action/horror-comedy. And at times that works, as both the ambulance chase & final section have some genuine scares and suspense. But for far, far too long it is painfully unfunny--partly because there's too many subplots and flashbacks. Also, for a piece set in 1985, it includes some anachronistic dialogue (and doesn't use the era's Drug War well). Still, it advertises what it is: a bear high on coke. Marginal recommendation.
