terrible film

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2008)

I don't know if I agree with all your points as to why it was a terrible film, but I do agree that it was a terrible film none the less. I thought it had potential. I certainly don't need my monster to have any kind of likability factor. Sure, the plot was typical cookie cutter monster movie material, but I can even deal with that. I can deal with copious amounts of blood and gore. I can deal with hokey attempts to scare me with things popping out of dark holes unexpectedly. I can even deal with the "must have" love story woven into the plot for whatever reason Hollywood feels there needs to be one. What I can not stand though, is spending 12 bucks to walk in the door to watch a movie and end up spending 3/4 of it looking at the floor, the ceiling, the walls to either side, at the girl one row back and to the right with huge jugs... or anywhere else other than the screen because to do so makes me want to lose my lunch. I can appreciate that the director/creator wanted to go with a different way in telling the story, but damn, make it watchable. Both my kids and myself left so motion sick that our cokes and popcorn went untouched and we did not recover until the following morning. If they do go ahead with the sequel, I certainly hope that someone makes the executive decision to go back to a traditional filming method rather than this NYPD Blue on cocaine method. I can guarantee that I will not be going to see it until I hear the way the filmed it if it is made.

Of course, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong
