Much better than ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ต 9 even though it's essentially the same movie for the chief purpose that this is cleaner, more fun, and ditches the sloppy gimmick and failed heavy-handed metaphor. Those last 30 minutes are godly, just totally bananas trashy cyberpunk action glory - not only the best thing Blomkamp has ever done but some of the most fun a sci-fi movie has had in the 2010s. But otherwise a movie about robot cop Sharlto Copley hanging around Die Antwood who teach him how to be gangsta but he accidentally discovers consciousness while a deranged Hugh Jackman desperately wants to let his monster mech loose on the city should be a lot more entertaining than this was. Still sports impeccable graphics and design as always with Neill, and you know what this isn't deep on any level nor does it have a single talking point about the militarization of the police department or A.I. or big tech corporations - fine, whatever. But there's almost zero violence for the hour + twenty-five minute stretch in the middle of this where it becomes this trite, sickly sweet family drama? I mean you're practically poised to fashion this nuanced, ultraviolent story dissecting how A.I. reacts to trauma but instead they're reading bedtime stories to the thing? Still vibrant and ridiculous though, enjoyed the hell out of it - I ain't picky. Plus points for letting all these actors use their natural accents.

The 80s. I know, right? What the heck happened??! When did things get so confusing and angstastically heavy?! I mean, beside the frelled up election result for 2016??
Thankfully, despite all of that, there are many good outlets to remind us how to have fun and to also remind us that WE actually used to be FUN! Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis truly know how to have fun times with the likes of Batman, Blue Beetle, and Martian Manhunter, just to name a few of the characters within.
The art, from artists Mike McKone, Ty Templeton, and Kevin Maguire was equally enjoyable, further enhancing the suing fun times. The only art I wasn't wowed by was Bill Willingham's. Not that it was bad or anything of the sort, I just thought it wasn't one of his stronger contributions. But, yeah, the other guys were all aces!
The only reason it didn't warrant Five Stars, or even Four for that matter, was the last issue in the TPB: "Teenage Biker Mega-Death!" (Vol. 1, Issue #30). The story itself was a weaker offering from Giffen and DeMatteis, only made weaker by the art from Willingham. The "big bad" of the story was neither <i>big</i> nor really very <i>bad</i>! Again, not the worst, but not the best.
Overall, though, this is yet another great example of how to make comics fun and enjoyable! If only they had gone this route for 2017's JUSTICE LEAGUE film!

I love shark movies as much as the next guy. But this is poor by anyones anyones standard. It's slow to start with little to nothing happening and uninteresting characters. By the time they get to the "suspense" I'm already bored, I'm waiting for an oversized tooth fest of glorious sharkness. But what is delivered is sub par, new character shows up to immediately be taken out. Also the amount these 4 girls scream and heavy breather youd think they would be out of oxygen in 5 minutes. But carrying on they engage more drama being trapped under water with less oxygen than they started, exciting. So to provide suspense they find a safe pocket of air and one girl goes off to find help. Classic of course, so she finds a new character, who is immediately taken out. Seems the movie has a theme going here. Moving on they try to escape the cave systems and eventually find the dad character and they're gonna escape. But wait, pointless selfishness overcomes the group as the one individual who started the problems then costs them their chance to escape and the only saving grace is she dies as a result. After that there are some more unbelievable deaths, I suppose they're meant to shock you but honestly they're so daft it's just confusing an pointless. The ending is the best part they're saved no they're not they're saved etc and she fights a shark with a shark tooth. Otherwise its dull drawn out and predictable. Would not recommend.
