Delivers thrills while developing characters and relationships. Meg becomes iconic female action hero we didn’t know we needed. Gnarly practical effects.

Compensates for any lack of character building with effective action and winking humor. Practical effects stand test of time. Some gross effects too. Is the movie a commentary on the male gaze? Is the snake an extension of Voight's phallus? THE BAD Voight's accent is distractingly bad. Why is everyone surprise...

Some fun body horror - missing limbs, etc. Great practical effects for the croc. Solid action and campy humor. THE BAD CGI croc effects are less convincing.

Relative to the barebones budget, the creature effects are surprisingly good. Some fun body horror adds to the thrills. Effective underwater cinematography. What elevates the film above any other run-of-the-mill giant radioactive kaiju flick is the twist ...

Tooth to tail, it's 99% perfect. THE BAD What's the 1%? The coroner scene contains a brief editing gaffe... as if the audio was spliced in from another part of the movie. Very odd once you notice it.

Ensemble cast plays their larger-than-life roles with intention. It takes very talented actors to take comedy seriously, thereby creating memorable characters and scenes! Burton relishes in that comedy. Martians are mischievous, wicked and love to have a good time. THE BAD Burton's claime...

They listen and respond effortlessly with one another. Whole cast invests 100% (aliens may look silly but Smith's world has legitimately been rocked, no pun intended). D'Onofrio is a master class in physical acting. Gradually decaying Edgar skin is a wonderful touch of realism. F...

Abduction scene aboard UFO was tense, eerie. The influence of this movie cannot be overstated. INDEPENDENCE DAY and MARS ATTACKS! are two films overtly inspired by the sequences herein. *Also, in ‘50s monster movies, there’s never a portrayal of the president, only generals. Contrasts with the ...

Good mystery building, leading up to the big reveal. Lead woman shoots guns with the men! She is much more integral than most females I’ve seen from this era. THE BAD Creature design... but that's too easy. Story is basically THE BEAST FROM 20K FATHOMS only stale and uninteresting. ...

It does things via animation that no other method can achieve - mauling, tearing, biting... you get the picture.

Genuinely funny moments. Pacing is quick, riveting. Never lags. Characters are distinct, strong. Awesome ending (a la JURASSIC PARK). I don’t watch a lot of movies from the ‘20s and it’s a fascinating time capsule of fashion, design and culture! THE BAD FX rough around the edges (almost Gumby-...

Film noir vibes at times. Murder subplot. Portrayal of female stereotypes (emotional, irrational, mental, sex driven, jewelry obsessed) all to make Nancy's ultimate revenge that much more satisfying when she defies the expectations of the male gaze. THE BAD Sense of scale is al...

Monster-trapped-in-ice idea. Script is fast/witty. Special effects marvelous. Great cast chemistry. Psychological themes were deep. The way they track the Beast's feeding patterns reminiscent of Jaws. The idea that the monster's blood is toxic is a lovely plot element. THE BAD That blood idea comes ...

Serious tone. Horror vibes. Great actors, especially the father. The virus/lockdown angle made the movie more relevant (and scarier) than I was expecting.
