I'm really baffled at the hateful negative response to this film. No it's not Oscar material, it's just good campy fun. If you're a fan of old monster movies, James Bond and Indiana Jones flicks, and over-the-top humor in an... Full review
It may have been corny, it may have have overused its CGI. But, hell, I loved it anyway!
