Amazing, Original, Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2012)

This is my first review on this site - I registered especially to write this about this particular movie and after seeing all the hate reviews. IMO, this movie was OUTSTANDING! It's brilliant and hilarious! It's everything you could expect from Joss Wheddon and much more! And the reviews actually prove it, even the negative ones. Those who gave only 1 star never understood what was going on at all and what the whole point was.
All in all, the most important thing is this - this is not a horror movie. If you expect to see an ordinary horror movie with a tiny twist to make it different and to fit the advertisement, correct your expectations, because you're going to be disappointed. If you expect horror to be mixed with comedy like many other movies has done, okay, you're on the right track, but still very far from the truth.
This movie is completely different. It's horror, mixed with comedy, mixed with scifi, mixed with mystery, mixed with epic movies. And I don't mean it's one of those mish-mashes that don't work at all - everything here fits in its rightful place to deliver an outstanding genre-bending experience! Also, make sure you are a fan of at least a few TV shows. If you don't watch TV and you only watch movies, than this won't be for you. People doing movies approach things much differently than people doing TV shows. So if you like characters that you don't care about because you don't meet for more than 2 hours, if you don't like too many ideas and jokes in one place because it's too complicated for your brain, if not top-level CGI is enough to ruin everything for you, don't watch this.
I'm deliberately not commenting on anything from the plot, because this would be a spoiler. The trailers gave enough spoilers already, that and the not top-level CGI are the only negative sides of this movie. But they are not that important at all to take away even 1 star from my rating! I'm giving all 10 with a clear conscience.
Now, abstract yourself from all expectations you have and start watching this movie with an open mind. I'm sure it will help you view it in a much better light, but only of course if you're into smarter stuff - if you prefer dumber movies where everything is clear and obvious even that won't help.
