BORING movie, except for the practical effects


When the monster itself is doing its thing, it's a fun movie. But the rest is all a bunch of men talking, and that's dull. I never did get the hype for this movie, and the so-called suspense is missing.

People have to talk in movies. That's how background info and plots are planted and carried out. Yes the practical effects are incredible and fun but that can't be 100 percent of the movie. Go play a video game if that's what you're complaining about. This movies has great suspense and dialog.

Watch Saw and its 25 sequels then. Characters get killed every 10 minutes.

It’s one of the most claustrophobic and dreadful films ever made. The “men talking” trying to figure out what’s going on and who’s infected is better than the monster.

HE WOULD SIMPLY PREFER BETWEEN THE EFFECTS TO FEATURE MULTI ETHNIC FEMALES TALKING.
