Letterboxd — Your life in film

Reminded me of the (few) Troma movies I actually liked. Amateurish but in ways that are mostly endearing instead of embarrassing.

Tamer than I expected! But also kind of repetitive and without much escalation.

Whoever keeps giving Deon Taylor money and access to a camera needs to stop doing that.

I want to eat one.

"You're pretty fancy, Wilson.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

It's watchable, but repetitive and featuring some truly bad CGI blood (at one point it's used coming out of someone's mouth - could the actor not just fill up with Karo and let it pour out? They're outside too, no "We couldn't mess up our set" excuses). I'd probably give it a 3 if I didn't recognize the director's name, but...

I challenge anyone to guess what the last 20 minutes are about based on the first 20 minutes.

I've seen this movie a million times and I only just now noticed that Cruise has a "Paul Sheldon" Misery novel next to his TV. That's some good Easter Egg-ing, Reiner.

"You don't need a patch on your arm to have honor" is the OG "requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever met."

I miss Jack.

Surprisingly solid! Finally, another filmmaker who understands having multiple POVs is a good way to avoid the usual tedium of a FF movie.

Nearly every scene with Millie Brown and Bryan Henry is barely two stars.

Kong pulling McClane AND Riggs moves is five stars.

So it averages out to 3.5 stars.

I kinda feel bad for Dan Stevens though, if Hiddleston (Skull Island) and Skarsgard (this one) are any indication, handsome blond dudes are put in these Monsterverse movies with fuck all to do.

Improvement on Deeper You Dig and some convincing witchcraft elements make this worth your time.
