Good but not that good

Rating: 6/10 (15 November 2019)

I know this movie is beloved by a lot of people but, I'm sorry, it is not as good as those people think it is. This movie has a lot of problems but it still has a lot of things going for it.
Some of the writing is absolutely terrible. There is quite a bit of dialogue that does not sound realistic at all, alongside a million plot holes and inconsistencies.
The acting (except from Phoenix) can be emotionless.
There are some characters that serve no purpose.
The CGI looks pretty bad now. Don't be like, "But it was made in 2002!" Terminator 2: Judgement Day was made in '91 and a lot of the effects in that movie hold up.
The cinematography is hit or miss.
However, there are some legitimately scary, disturbing, and heavy scenes. You do care about the family and you want to see them survive. The score is awesome. And it does have quite a bit of rewatch value.
