Movie Rating

I'm seeing some Spielbergisms in these movies so far as it seems like he must've used some ideas or themes when starting out like in Jaws. Once you show the monster, it's hard to put jack back in the box.

Unlike the original film, you see too much of the creature right away to build tension or think of him as menacing. This time around different scientists go back to the lagoon and capture the creature and bring him back to civilization. His new home is a large public aquarium where he instantly becomes the new star attraction. While chained to the tank floor he wows the spectators, defends himself against the nosy scientists and attempts escape. This sequence also felt like the 3rd act of The Lost World where the dinosaurs made it to land and terrorized the suburbs.

He eventually escapes and follows the main scientist and his girlfriend whilst they try and have a romantic time out to sea together. The last half of the film feels like you are watching From Here To Eternity with an occasional creature showing up every once in a while.

The tension just wasn't there in this one. A disappointment,

Kudos

One of the best, if not the best, shooter i have ever played. Ive replayed this game many times and never get bored. Great characters with a great story, propel you through the game at an appropriate pace while allowing the choice of side questing or not. i recommend side questing because theyre all great. My favourite characters are Zero and Krieg for the random outbursts of hilarity. So Handsome Jack is the main antagonist and throughout the game were taught to hate him more and more for the horrendous things he has done, which makes the final fight with him all the sweeter because you feel like you have defeated a monster. The dlc for this game was also incredibly good and added a great many hours of content. the replayability with the different characters is always a bonus and there are three different modes to keep the challenge real. The weapons are great and some have hilarious effects. I have to give this game 10/10 because i have played hundreds of hours on it and never been disappointed. Gearbox took their niche with borderlands, expanded it and made it an absolute legend cant wait for more installments.
