After five minutes I wanted to shut this movie off.The acting was atrocious.I figured there was no way I could enjoy this movie when the actors all over pronounciated their words and generally over-acted. After fifteen minutes,I had changed my mind,not because the acting got better but because I couldn't look away. Now I can say honestly I am glad I didn't shut it off.
I won't go into detail about names or specifics in this review.I'll just tell you what I think I just watched.
This is a movie that was almost great.It was clear to me the writers wanted us to watch a movie that didn't insult our intelligence which the very plot alludes to at the beginning.What makes a great horror movie? What makes a horror movie leave us frustrated and unsatisfied?Starting the movie off with these questions opens a door to further intrigue .Would this movie be a parody of bad horror movies?Would this movie be just another bad horror movie? It turns out its neither. No time is wasted,and the plot moves along smoothly.The lines are funny at times but i was never sure if they were supposed to be ...and for some reason it just made me want to keep watching even more.
At times the plot would take a nose dive and I was sure i was about to be as aggravated as the main character suggested I would be watching a bad movie.But then the characters would react realistically and save the day.Just when you think its bordering on cheese,it redeems itself.I couldn't help think in after thought i'd just watched an episode from Tales from the Crypt. For better or worse, it was engaging,and made an effort to be more than just a b flick.I want to see more from the makers,and have a small bit of advice for the two main characters (the friends).Next time try under-acting a little...as it seems over-acting comes naturally to you...try behaving more like you don't know you're on camera.This movie would have been great if you had. I'd watch this movie again someday....

Again with the paid reviews. The movie could have been watchable if the acting had been even b grade.But alas,the acting is so horrendous
It seemed like the actors kept forgetting their lines and all the unnatural pauses during the dialogue screams severely amateur.Its just not watchable. Scene after scene of them just standing around looking like their waiting for the director to cue them or a prompter to tell them their lines.
Why release a movie when its this bad?Why all the paid reviews?I swear the movie's budget was spent solely on the paid reviews.I couldn't bear to watch more than 30 minutes of this garbage.

I.D.The Resurgence is a lot of fun.I was happy to see so many original characters back! Like the original,this is meant to be a summer blockbuster.If you want poetry,watch something else.If you want more action,grandiose "we are the champions" type rhetoric and some good humor thrown in,this is your movie.Will' Smith's characters son does a great job,as do all the actors.Its to be expected from these big name actors. I would have liked it to be a little longer,a few more sentimental moments between Goldblum's character and his dad,between Pullman's character(the former president) and his daughter,and Will Smith's son and his mother(from the original movie.)I wonder/hope they just cut those scenes out and they are in the director's cut? This is the kind of fun movie you can watch again...every year...around this time and will enjoy it all over again.Great escapism and ca't go wrong with the notion of global unity...something we sorely need in reality.
