Army of Frankensteins

This d-movie (or even lower in the alphabet if you actually think about the budget this had) is actually fun to watch. Because it knows what it is, and it makes fun of itself and that's a good thing. Take a politician for example, who looks at his portrait and says "This doesn't look like me" (I might be paraphrasing a bit here) - this is tipping your hat to the fact, that the actor actually doesn't quite look like the one he should be portraying and making light fun of that.

The whole time travel thing is muddled to say the least and character decisions sometimes feel forced to move the plot or make something happen that could've been avoided. But remember, this is just a very very low budget movie. Don't be too hard on it or just don't watch it

I didn't give this a one because I finished watching it. This is one of those movies where you ask yourself, are people this dumb. The things the characters do is well you wish you can reach into the screen and slap one of them. I enjoy monster movies and time traveling but this didn't do it for me. The acting is lousy and I have to mention I am glad it was a free movie. I would have been upset had I been the one to pay for it. A movie you can watch if it comes on free TV in a late late late movie. I really do not know what else to say here because I need to write more lines. There really is not much else to write about without giving movie dialogues. I basically already wrote the obvious. It is a lousy movie and watch it when you have nothing else to do but don't buy it A civil war with Frankenstein's.

I went into this movie expecting it to follow so many others that have tried to take this road recently... cheap special effects, poor -everything... but I was pleasantly surprised. While it is obvious that this is a low budget movie most of the choices made were conservative. They didn't overuse cgi, and they didn't have idiots as the main characters. The story was rediculous but the execution was a decent attempt. They even pulled off having a kid as one of the main characters, without having it deter from the main plot. I thought it dragged a little in the third act, but the humor was higher quality than I expected, and the practical effects saved them from being lumped in with those other monster movies being made right now. If you like b-horror, definitely give this one a try!

If you stumbled across Army Of Frankenstein's and are expecting something like Schindler's List you are going to be disappointed. However, if you take into account for what this is (a ridiculous low budget C grade horror flick), you should get some enjoyment out of this. A mad scientist experiment goes awry when a bunch of Frankenstein like creatures and everyone in the room get transported back in time to The Civil War. Army Of Frankenstein's is campy, gory and action packed cheesy fun that plays it loose with history. The acting is not great, but if it was I would have probably enjoyed it less. For a movie like this, to be entertained is all you can ask for. Some movies fail to do that. If you don't believe me, try watching Trump Vs The Illuminati. Let me know how that works out for you.

My quick rating - 5,7/10. Very ambitious and fun filled horror comedy. The writers/creators wanted to hit all genres in full swing and did a fantastic job on a shoe string budget. Good humor, nice gore when needed, hokey action on purpose, this is b-budget quality that should be seen. Enjoyable and I will be keeping this one for later viewing. I make my picks on people to watch, and very rarely am I wrong (last one was the Soska Twins) so keep an eye on Ryan Bellgardht. Aside from some serious camera issues (more the effects really) the quality is quite good. Got distracted at times by the multiple Frankensteins being all hazy, but minor gripe. Enjoy if you can find it.
