Second watch Ald loved this even more. A genre hopping wonderful Monstrum dynamite piece of a movie.
Like a Korean Princess Bride or Big Trouvle in Little China, this film is a perfect blend of every YT hing I love:
- historical drama
- monster movie
- political machinations
- martial arts
- comedy
- shit heel bad guys
- awesome good guys
This film is not talked a pout nearly enough. It’s a monster kaiju masterpiece. Long live Sparkles!
Not getting the hate on this one, although my watch experience of being the only fan in a completely empty auditorium and thus being able to holler, walk about stretch my legs to my hearts content , may have had something to do with it.
Honestly though, was this really the worst Marvel film? I mean, is it actually any worse than Incredible Hulk? Is it worse than Iron Man 2? I’d even say any worse than Thor 2: the…
Superb voodoo zombie film. Pullman is great as the scientist who will not quit, with fantastic supporting work from Zakes Mokae as the bad guy Dargent and Brent Jennings as Louis Mozart, the maker of the zombie powder. Some very creepy nightmare sequences, plenty of bits to make your skin crawl and one bit to make any bloke cross his legs made this a thoroughly enjoyable watch from start to finish. Ending goes a bit Nightmare on Elm Street in a cheesy 80s way but whats not to love about that. Highly recommended for any horror fan and especially zombie fans.
Still pretty much the greatest action film ever made. To see it on an Imax screen just made it even better and when the worst thing I can say is some of the matte work from 30 years ago looked a teeny bit ropey on a 25m screen, it shows how well this film has aged. Just an absolute masterpiece. The best action, the greatest creature design, no CGI, the most quotable, epic characters (Vasquez and Hudson we salute you), I don't think this film will ever be bettered in terms of hardcore violent sci-fi action. My no.2 favourite film of all time.
