I totally agreed with the review! Just had to say that! I've read quite a few reviews of this film and most seem to hate it, but I really do think some critics are missing the point. Stephen Sommers makes big dumb monster movies, sure, but he's fully aware of this, and takes every opportunity to camp them up, or deadpan them down, and generally have as much fun with them as possible, rather than take it all that seriously. Most of his recent films (such as "Deep Rising" and the two Mummy movies) have been in that sort of tongue-in-cheek vein, and frankly I've enjoyed myself in every one. Think of them as Hollywood B-movies.
