Surprisingly VERY funny! Almost has an old 60s cartoon energy about it (think Tom and Jerry) You'll always know the basic set up, but just how far off the rails it can all go, ends up being what's so funny. 16 volumes does seem like a lot for this one gag, but I'm curious to see how far it can get stretched. My biggest worry was that the princess was going to be a precious innocent sort that the castle monsters end up loving, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out just how selfish and single minded (both in a good way) the character can be! Really lends to the humor well!Surprisingly VERY funny!

Really awful. Terrible story telling, all over the place. No character matters at all. Every now and then a fleeting glimpse of something interesting shows up, only to be quickly brushed off the screen so we can get back to poorly made tedium. Cannot recommend.Really awful.

It really does just kind of fall apart in the end sadly. The first half is a solid movie, if a little overly referential, but the story just gets bogged down with it's need to pander to nostalgia. Personally found one thing it does at the end VERY gross. You'll know what it is when you see it. As this would be a free library rental, I can't say don't see it, but not paying for it is the ideal way to experience this movie.It really does just kind of fall apart in the end sadly.

The best superhero movie of 2021 by far. Joel Kinnaman proves he can act and has some solid comedic timing in this! James Gunn carpet bombed the original into dust. Not even a huge fan of Gunn's most recent stuff, but here he really brought his A game I feel like. Oscar for King Shark and Starro please.The best superhero movie of 2021 by far.

Modern horror masterpiece. When Gabriel chucked that chair at two cops, I attained enlightenment. My favorite character is the 70s time traveler in the prison, and my favorite location is the abandoned old timey gas lamp and stage coach factory that apparently exists underneath the city. Explaining it doesn't do it justice, if you used to watch early 2000's horror movies and wished that they got REALLY wild, this movie is for you.Modern horror masterpiece.

Very cute. Pacing feels a little off, with some scenes playing out a bit rushed, like they're rushing to hit certain beats, BUT still manages to work and tells its story well. You will root for the main characters! It's a shame this doesn't come with the short Ciao, Alberto, which is on Disney+ cause that follows up some stuff set up in this movie. Check that out too!Very cute. Pacing feels a little off, with some scenes playing out a bit rushed, like they're rushing to hit certain beats, BUT still manages to work and tells its story well.

If it wasn't for The Suicide Squad, this would probably be the best superhero movie of the year! Camp as hell and seemingly proud of it, this movie is on another wavelength and energy then any other cape sh*t in recent years. Tom Hardy continues to bring just the weirdest possible mojo to his character. The secret joke that Venom is a better reporter than Eddie is also great. Just great in general! People whining about it not being more like the comics thought Eternals was a good movie. Ignore them!If it wasn't for The Suicide Squad, this would probably be the best superhero movie of the year!

Sloppy but ends up being fun, and actually gets pretty wild with it's meager budget. Campbell might've been born to play a Store Manager for Life type. As someone whose worked retail, it can hit pretty close to home at times.

Just yell "Evil dies tonight!" repeatedly at yourself in a bathroom mirror, and you'll have recreated 90% of this movie on your own for free! Gets a star for one decent kill.

Probably the most tense I've been during a movie in a long time. The static/tape warping are used to great effect here. Amazing acting throughout, with Stacy Keach stealing the show (and rightfully so). Not your typical kind of horror, but horrifying none the less.Probably the most tense I've been during a movie in a long time. The static/tape warping are used to great effect here.

I don't know how you make a four hour movie of nothing, but boy did Zack Snyder make a four hour movie of nothing. I guess at least it didn't feel it's length? This movie existing as a kind of middle finger to Joss Whedon is also pretty funny.
