Storywise, ironically.
However, it's an action movie. They all have crappy plots. Compared to other action movies, the plot was pretty good.
As for the action scenes, they were great.
The characterisation was ok, even when judged as an action film.
The music was mostly white noise.
On a scale of 6-9, I'd give it an eight.

The second one is so bad, it's good.

That's a common misconception that all action films have crappy plots, elitist boy. The first Die-Hard film was pretty awesome and its plot was sound.

That was an error. I meant that most of them do, and I worded it awkwardly.

I thought the first transformers was ok, it had problems but I could still enjoy it. The second one was just a wreck though.

Damn, looks like I don't get chiller anymore. For some reason a lot of the channels I used to get are only available in HD now and chiller is one of them. We don't get the HD channels.

Review time!

Music: Tell John Williams, Danny Elfman, and other orchestrators to see this movie because THIS is how you make a good music score

Pacing: Mostly good although the last quarter started to drag

Lighting: Very well done

Dialogue: Aside from a few bits that might seem out of place nothing much

Video Quality: Pretty dated for a 90s movie

Action: Could have been better, but not bad

Effects: Very low budget, mostly with the masks

Other notes: This movie could have been fantastic but they just had to end it on a dumb cliffhanger/random note. This also doesn't deserve the hate it gets nor is it anywhere near bad.

Overall: Excellent

But yeah I wish I still got chiller, was going to watch this last night and then I was like "Oh shit I don't get chiller anymore!" I don't get that nicktoons channel that always shows the avatar cartoon series either which sucks because usually when there was nothing else on half the time they would be playing avatar and I would just watch that. But now I don't get that channel, sometimes cartoon network is playing something decent, but half the time their playing something crappy like johnny test and that's just not cool. Now I don't really have a channel to just tune into whenever.

Really, no trolling at all, not like I care anymore, but y'know, the positive remarks about such bad movies got old centuries ago.

I think next twin drive should take on "The Devils messenger", even he might have trouble giving that movie a positive review. Either that or micro commando diatron 5, though I think he might have trouble finding the latter movie.

I still think Leonard Part 6 would be perfect to review next. If he can like North, Troll 2, The Room, DBE and TLAB then he will likely love LP6.

As requested from Defectron I will (eventually) watch this movie which he claims is really out there. :thumbsup: Will I like it or will my brain melt into the unknown? Tune in very soon to find out!

Judging by the cover, it looks like shit.
NGE was a damned good anime
EoE was an anime masterpiece
And Rebuild is nothing short of epic
Long live the EVAs!!

This is one of the most incomprehensible movies I've seen, the rest of you should watch it too.

Alright folks, lets review it! Just as a heads up it is an anthology type movie.


Music: Very stock

Pacing: Slow at first, but improved over time

Lighting: Decent, but could be better

Dialogue: The third story has a couple of strange bits and Satan's message to the audience at the end was a tad corny, but nothing bad

Video Quality: Bad even for a 60s movie and that isn't counting the fact that it is not even in color.

Action: Extremely little, but that is to be expected

Effects: Hardly any, any that do exist were on a small budget

Other notes: This movie is not incomprehensible, it simply did not have much that was interesting for the first half. It's one of those movies that starts out slow, but slowly does get better over time. Sure it was cheap, but it did have some heart to it and stuff like Creepshow simply fail at what something like this managed to accomplish. It does it so well that it somehow manages to be better than the likes of Citizen Kane.

Overall: Good
