[quote="rackmount"]A more responsible reviewer would say something like: "A fantastically fun and very well done movie as far as monster movies go. With just a sprinkling of cheese here and there to add to the fun.â€

So I had a chance to see the film, and figured I might as well reveiw it. There may be some spoilers so youve been warned.

I liked it.

I have to agree to some extent in that reviews and praise ( while warranted ) sorta had me expecting the second coming of the monster film...and its certainly not that....but Its a really fun well made monster flick.

I LOVED the monster. Its really original looking and moving. the SFX are really great and a majority of the action'y monster stuff happens during the day which is great as well...theres no real attempt to hide the monster , the film makers LOVE showing him off...and its really really cool to see that. The monster is just great.

I do think the plot is somewhat convoluted, what with a semi silly subplot involving the virus, that as far as I can tell went no where...it just padded out the film and kept me from watching what i wanted to see...the family trying to rescue a fathers daughter.

The actors and the acting were really great as well...but like others have mentioned the tonal shifts and directions in editing can be...odd and takes you out of the film a bit...

All in all it was a great flick...but realize its not this genre bending out of the box re-invention by any means. But it is a fun monster flick with a REALLY great monster

This is the last reply I'm going to make about this.
If you go back and re-read what I posted instead of making things up in your head. You should realize that it's YOU who doesn't "get it" Keith.

I never said I hated it. In fact I said I liked it but it has wasn't a "masterpiece". And it's overly hyped reviews are not completely accurate and will set some people up for disappointment.
Count me as one of those people who was set up.

I said you have a tendancy to be a bit biased. I didn't say you are completely biased all of the time.
And I said it in as politely as a person could.

You mis-read what I wrote. Then lashed out childishly with statements like "You don't get it" and "you ended up looking rather clueless".
The truth is the only person who looks "clueless" here is you.

Maybe there is something going on in your personal life that's making you overly sensitive. Or maybe you just don't handle differing opinions well.
Your knee jerk reactions make me sad. And I don't wish to continue talking about this anymore because you'll just say more harmful childish things. So I won't.
Good luck to you sir.

There's a new US trailer. You can download it from .

Focuses more on the characters rather than the creature, but worth a look. This will be showing in the Bay Area in March. Time for a little road trip.
