b-movie

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2009)

The bottom line of the Toho Godzilla movies is - you have a guy in a rubber monster suit.
The bottom line of the comic book action movie is - you have a guy wearing funny-colored tights.
This is not a bad B-movie. The performances are strong throughout. The cinematography is professional, if not exceptional. Although the story is drawn out, the pacing is good. The dialog is to the point, the story is strong for what it is. I caught and understood the commentary on our current political state of affairs.
But at the center of all this is a guy wearing purple tights. That makes it a B-movie, sorry.
Adults do not go around wearing purple tights. Good A-list films are about adults. Get over it and grow up.
Enjoy this for what it is, but don't make of it anything more.
