Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
Really good fun and witty script.
Give me rubber monsters over CGI any day!

Skipped this one, couldn't face anything after Martyrs and it looked pretty standard from the trailer. It's getting quite a lot of coverage so I will check it out on DVD. This and Autopsy are really failing to set the forum alight aren't they.jonbly wrote:Fun, and a great turn from Englund... but a bit too thin.
Was determined to see this after Martyrs and it paid off.
Low maintenance, low demand FUN.
Evil Muppets have been fumbled by no less a "talent" than Peter Jackson, so this was a triumph ! That chap who played Jack Brooks could be the new Bruce Campbell if he plays his cards right.

It was what was needed. Perhaps took a bit of time to get going, but it's always good to see Robert Englund in more than a one-scene cameo (cough Hatchet cough) and it shows up the superiority of endearingly cheesy physical monster effects rather than twenty billion pixels of sleek and shiny CGI. Very enjoyable.
Meh, took a bit too long to get going, spent far too long on Jack's anger management issues, and he only actually became a monster slayer in the last 10 minutes or so.
Once Robert Englund became that monster and Jack was fighting him, we were in B-movie heaven, but it had dragged a bit up to then. This was a welcome fun film after Martyrs, but it just felt a bit like an elongated episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Fun, but was expecting it to be better
6/10
