When I heard that this movie was about the events that take place after the horrifying murder of the very last demon on Earth, I thought, "finally, an ecology movie capable of uniting the entire world behind the importance preventing the extinction of species on the planet." How could I possibly have known that the movie I thought would contribute to the conservation of life around the world would actually celebrate the extinction of demons, not criticize it! Apparently after the extinction of demons referred to in the plot outline, life actually improves for everybody else. How do you think Greenpeace would feel if every whale on Earth was wiped out, and the aftermath proved to be an incredible improvement of the status quo for everybody else? They'd feel insulted, that's what. But then, people in this movie actually start turning into demons AFTER the great extinction, which finally starts to set things right again. Unfortunately, it's all done by magic, which isn't even real! Basically, the movie sets up an ecological failure that reverses itself by magic, and everybody thinks it's a curse. I don't get this generation at all. It's like an evil God tries to screw with us by making demons extinct in the worst way possible -- wanton murder -- and just before folks can absorb the lesson that all species have value and none should be forced into extinction against their own will, magic comes along and fixes everything while also cutting into the over-population of Earth by humans! They had this great opportunity to do something special, something like Jurassic Park without the amber. They could have told THAT story, leaving us with a planet full of frogs, but instead they use a cheap plot device like MAGIC to give us a happy story instead of the gritty ecological nightmare they should have told. And then they went and classified it a "drama", instead of "fantasy" or "horror". That's the worst of it. Wipe out an entire species and then call it a drama. It's an insult to everybody who ever watched The Exorcist and immediately invited Satan into their heart and soul, only to find that it introduced a little bit of drama into their lives, and nothin' else. All that does is normalize natural selection. Well, demons don't do evolution, okay? They don't fit into a conversation about survival of the fittest. If you're gonna make a movie about the temporary extinction of demons, you'd better not call it a simple little drama. You just devastate the whole story when you do that. It's not Bradley Cooper, you schmucks. It's a planet full of demonic entities that would only like Bradley Cooper if he was breakfast. Maybe add some grits. With grits it'll be five stars. Without grits -- four. And some over easy eggs.
