Average entertainment with no surprises

A scfi monstermovie will probably always provide some solid entertainement, even if it can be pretty darn average. The monsters are unimpressive, the characters okay but flat or unlikable, the plot is predictable. Even the music was run of the mill. Decent, but leaves your mind immediately.

Great horror full of inspiration

I felt there might be some inconsistencies in the lore, and perhaps the script is even a little jumpy. But my my - what great and fibrant horror! Full of memorable scenes to give you the chills, not relying on lazy jumpscares. Fine performances and great sounds and music.

Extremely unclear and boring

Who knows - maybe in 10 years time this movie will have a cult following, pondering it's deeper meaning and misunderstood brilliance. But as it stands, I did not understand what was going on and was extremely bored by it - begging for it to end.

Likable movie in need of a tad more spices

While this scores with a non-sensationalist approach, sympathetic characters and some pleasing effects and biological creatures, it is let down by an overall slowness and lack of dynamics in the already sober story.

Objectively good, but not involving

A very good looking animation, that - I think - retains the gloomy and underdog atmosphere and unique style of the comics. Nevertheless, I found it hard to get really moved by it, or get involved with any of the characters - except of course for the spectacular Dr. Manhatten.
