Mel Brooks has a talent for blending humor and history, but unfortunately, this time around, it seems like he missed the mark. The lack of a cohesive structure with the out of order sequences seems more like a desperate attempt at humor rather than a clever way to tell a story. It's a shame because the film has so much potential.

The jokes feel stale and often fall flat, leaving the audience with a forced smile instead of a genuine laugh. And while there are a few moments where the humor is on point, they are few and far between.

One of the biggest issues with the film is its lack of direction. It seems like Brooks was trying to cram too many ideas and jokes into the film without a clear idea of how to tie them all together. As a result, the pacing is all over the place, making it difficult to stay engaged.

It's disappointing to see such a talented cast go to waste in this film. The performances are lackluster, and the characters feel underdeveloped. With a little more time and effort, the characters could have been something special.

Overall, "History of the World, Part II" is a missed opportunity. While it has its moments, they are too few and far between to make it worth recommending. It's a shame because there was so much potential for a clever and entertaining film. But, unfortunately, it falls short.
