Kill Ben Lyk

To be honest, maybe it's due to the other reviews that I went in with expecting nothing, but I thought it was an entertaining movie. Yeah, the main character is obnoxious, but that's the whole point. Could it have been better? Ofcourse it could have, hell even the Marvel movies could have been MUCH better..

Just watch it as the movie it is, a popcorn movie without any real meaning. If you can watch it on something like Netflix or Primevideo, go ahead.

The main character is an almost insufferable vlogger stereotype, but the humor is able to carry it regardless, and I was pretty entertained throughout. Would definitely recommend for movie night with friends or similar.

I will say, excellent for what appears to be a lower budget production. With very few scenes to work with, you made a very excellent movie. The plot felt complete, it was entertaining to watch, however, some characters warranted some more development. Particularly the main character, who is revealed as egotistical, but besides that, has not many more character traits. He occupies plenty of screen-time yet he lacks in dimension. Often he is repeating similar behaviors, and not contributing much of anything positive to the story line. This makes the character exhausting, degrading the plot,; however, other characters fill in this void and become much more significant to the plot. In terms of comical value, the comedy is not well placed, it feels repetitive, and hurts the thriller and mystery aspect of this movie. The movie felt casual, not much got my eye, and with very little connection to the characters, the target genre seemed unapparent. Overall, enjoyable? Yes. Memorable? No.

I'm not sure what happened to British comedy ("cough....woke") but humour is no longer their strong suit.

"Kill Ben Lyk" isn't funny. Its premise and characters follow a predictable tired trajectory, accompanied by hackneyed humour, that's simply put, unintelligent and boring.

I managed about thirty minutes before giving up. The acting is fine but so much else is uninspired, there is little left to say.

May suit the easy pleased but, I suspect, it will irritate the discerning.

3/10.

The run time makes this more bearable, it's nothing ground breaking but does have a few moments that make you laugh, although it also has a few that make you groan. The acting at times is decent and at times woeful. The whole film is the kind of film that almost...almost is a good film but just doesn't quite get over the line as one I'd recommend immediately but if you need to kill 80 mins you could do worse..

Not a film I'd watch twice but don't feel the universe owes me time back for the first viewing so there's that at least...

All in all, average movie let down at times by dodgy acting and a dodgy plot, but it's also slightly daft and amusing...marmite film maybe?
