Good movie but grossly overrated
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
