I fully understand why Psycho Goreman may not be for everyone, but dammit if it wasn't right up my street.
This film is so ridiculous. From it's sudden bursts of hyper violence to kids playing ball games backed by the sounds of completely over the top guitar solos, to it's abundance of offbeat humour, PG is obviously trying to be exactly the kind of film that it is, but it stops short of feeling overly try-hard.
The young cast are pretty great, heck, all of the cast are pretty great. The commitment to practical effects is admirable, no matter how cheap it looks on occasion. The alien characters look like creatures out of Power Rangers, but it honestly just adds to the experience.

I'm not sure if anything written can truly explain what to expect from this. If you like these kind of 80s throwback B-movies like I do, then you'll surely get a kick out of Psycho Goreman. It's a blast from start to finish.

Godzilla vs. Kong suffers from what other versus films such as Freddy vs. Jason or the Alien vs. Predator films also suffered from. These films put too much value in humans when the audience just wants to see more of the on-screen monsters they either paid hard money or chose to stream to see. That’s why if Legendary chooses to keep this franchise going they should do All Monsters Attack or something involving Monster Island next where humans can be spectators at best and monsters wreak havoc for up to two straight hours. Stop feeding fans unbearable human excretion and trying to pass it off as Godzilla gold.

If you have watched any Japanese Godzilla movie you will find useless human storyline in every one. That is the way it is. That is what makes those movies great.

They are a part of most Godzilla films, but I disagree with that being something that makes them great. Godzilla typically has 27 minutes of screen time or less in each film, so the human element is expected. Give me one film that reverses that; 90 minutes of Godzilla and or other kaiju fighting or demolishing cities and less than 30 minutes of humans. If it isn't well received by fans or the box office then I'll shut up. Personally though, that's all I want in a Godzilla or kaiju film.
