Um Monstro de Bilheteria

If you grew up on Saturday afternoon Monster movies like I did this was a whole lotta fun. I laughed at the great spoofs of the shows that scared me as a small child. I think if you are looking for good clean fun with a lotta nostalgia this is for all who loved the "B" movies of the past/present/future. The acting was pretty good and played just right. There have been other movies made by companies like Sci-Fi Channel and UPN that have tried to recreate the feel of the "B" Science Fiction movies but Monster! was the best of these. I wish that some studio would do the same kind of thing for the Hope/Crosby road movies. Between the "B" SciFi movies and laughing at Hope and Crosby my childhood was made a little fuller. Enjoy

I caught the second half of this film on the SciFi Channel. Bianca Nacson (Susan) seemed to be kissing her boyfriend goodbye in every other scene, and having fun. M. Emmet Walsh knew just the mood to hit for this kind of parody and kept things rolling to the end.

Cool car, too. Glad the CGI monster didn't scratch it up.

I've seen this movie and despite the fact that some other people don't know how to appreciate computer effect movies, this movie delivers some cool effects especially the monster. I especially loved Tobias(Toby) Mehler's acting! His extremely good acting skills show off in this movie just like they did when he acted in the Wishmaster 3 movie as one of my favorite Archangels, the Archangel Michael!

So what if it isn't great art? Monster is fun (in a guilty way) and does not require too much thought... sometimes your intellect deserves a night off, and Monster is a good choice for that night. It is actually well written, beautifully acted, competently photographed, and properly edited, just devoid of serious content. If Monster was a junk food it would be a potato chip-- lovable, but afterwards? Who cares?

I like this movie; I always like bad creature features, so I rented this one. As it turns out to be, it's one of the better onces I've seen

To me it watches like an ode to the (early) 50's monster movies (e.g. the Blob, with Steve McQueen) so instead of having the cliché's dragging the movie down, the writer(s) turn(s) the effect of the clichés around, by putting them to good use; kind of like Wes Craven did in "Scream". SO in this case: the hero drives a Hot Rod and wears his school' Jock jacket and so...

Next to that , the acting is good, the pace is fast, tension is built as tension should built, the special effects look great (given the age, the budget AND the fact that it's a TV movie).

I'll be honest: it's not "predator" , it's not "the eye". it's a small flick with good acting, good story with a great pitch that makes it stand out from the rest. All you need as a good evening's entertainment!
