It was phenomenal. It filled me with joy as much as it shocked and devastated me.

I haven't seen this in ages. It's a strange little film, obviously never going to live up to the original, but not as bad as you'd expect for a belated cash-in. Meg Tilly and Anthony Perkins are both excellent in their roles, and help to carry the film beyond its slightly silly and very unlikely plot. They're very convincing together, despite the apparent off-screen difficulties. It just seems that in the end, it doesn't have an awful lot to say for itself, it's a bit slight for a return to such a cinematic landmark.

Now this is more like it. Not only does it absolutely embrace its silliness, it’s told well by a proper filmmaker who understands visual storytelling. I also like the fact there’s lots of off-beat New Zealand humour and 80s aesthetics. This is one of the best superhero films I’ve seen in recent years and I say that as someone who is quite agnostic towards them. I’ve not really liked any of the other Marvel movies before, in fact I’ve flat out disliked most of them, but this one will be enough to urge me to actually watch… I dunno, a couple of others.

It's all *smugly ironic voice* "oh, look, I appear to be in peril. I shall fight, make a witty quip, and move on." They've entirely lost the sense of adventure, excitement or purpose. Five hours of my life wasted, because I've seen it twice. Not that I was going to do anything useful with that time, but I could've been asleep or something.
