He did kind of review it along with Spliced, but all he said was it was "as good as these kinds of things get, and really isn't notable beyond the OH GOD WHAT I AM LOOKING AT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!"Monshroud said:

Offtopic things aside, good review and thank you for enlightening on the Sharktopus.
While I normally agree with moviebob's reviews I'd have to say I disagree on all counts this time. I watched it a few weeks ago on the 360 after never even heard of it and actually enjoyed it. You say it was terrible because the main character's don't act believable, I think this is what made it great. This is an independent monster movie, not Titanic, if you were expecting Ultra Realistic acting from the main characters then you clearly confused this movie with one of Hollywood's multi-million dollar crap shoots where every scene is done with around 200 takes a piece.
I personally found the main characters funny and entertaining to watch, the plot was nothing too special and they were a bit "in your face" about the whole immigration standpoint but it's a frickin' monster movie. There are monsters, there are characters, and there are characters trying their hardest to not be killed by the monsters.
I simply find it strange that you claim to love indi films so much and yet most of the stuff you just reamed this movie on are things that are standard or above average for most indi movies.

Well I hadn't heard of this movie yet so far, so I had no idea whether it would be good or not. Although it sounds like it won't really wow me, I'm still somewhat intrigued by the premise of it, so I might see it.
I liked Monsters. Granted it was pretty late at night when I watched it, but the mood driven atmosphere got to me. The music really helped (similar to Moon, which wouldn't have been half the movie it was without the Clint Mansell work).
Going in of course I expected more monsters, but I wasn't terribly upset when they didn't get much screen time. I see the political tie in, but that too kind of took a bench seat for the personal relations focus. I still can't tell if the ending wants me to draw my own conclusions or take theirs.

I always hate it when hype falls flat. I'm going to probably voluntarily cry if Green Lantern sucks.
Anyhow, I saw the movie, and yeah, while it did have a few strong scenes that showed what you're still capable of doing these days on a tiny movie budget, the monsters and the main characters were just awful. People like to throw the word pretentious around a lot, and this film really deserves it.

You should probably adopt the Yahtzee Croshaw gauge of expectations (not in his most recent years, but those that he reccomends to others.) High Expectations+Good-->Adequate. Low Expectations+Poor-->Expected, merely bad. High Expectations+Poor-->Fucking Catastrophe. Low Expectations+High Quality-->Pleasant Surprise to Being Overjoyed.
Not for nothing, but he didn't actually "say" anything there, even with the idiot hammering him with the concept about 5 times.Nouw said:Ah yes that, damn good movie!snowman6251 said:The Host.

It was just "My music won't be on the show cuz... y'know... TV producers and stuff. Homogeneity, y'know." Sounds more like he doesn't want to sell his music to commercial interests in general.
I guess some specifics would be too much to ask in this case?
never heard of monsters either. and sorry bob, usually i take your advice, but i think i might need to see this movie anyways. if not only to support my local movie theatre who is a small independent one battling large chain theatres in a neighbouring city.
Moviebob forgot one of the bad parts of his job and the main reason it's not on my "to aim for" list of jobs related to movies. Because he's basically contractually (sp?) forced to watch movies he would never watch in a million years if he didn't have to review them. Honestly, how did he manage to watch twilight movies? How can an ordinary man survive that kind of barrage of stupidity? For this I respect him.
Anywho, I was really hyped about this too, so this comes almost as a bigger disapointment than the newest Alone in the dark game. Seriously, remember how good that looked in previews? Remember how alot of people said it couldn't possibly go wrong? *sigh*
EDIT: Having just watched the video a few posts above me, I'm not entirely sure what he said, but I agree that I will rage harder Vegata reading an over 100,000 power reading if Glee ever decide to murder "Feel good inc".
