Now I’ll be honest, I don’t see a lot of movies these days, both because I have zero interest in ever going to a theater but also because most things out there just don’t appeal to me anymore. That said, I did catch Prisoners of the Ghostland, mostly because it’s got Nic Cage in it and he’s just so entertaining on his own that it makes up for even the worst movies that he’s been in.
And he’s been in a lot of really bad movies.
So how did this one fare? Let’s take a look.
So I finally sat down and watched this thing, and honestly, we were all putting it off as long as we could. My daughters wanted to watch it and less than a third of the way through, both of them got up and left.
That ought to tell you something. They are in the target demographic and they both got bored.
So let’s look at what went wrong and why I hope Toho never lets Legendary make a Godzilla movie again.
Back in 2017, I declared that Wonder Woman was the best movie that had come out of the DC Cinematic Universe, which was really damning with faint praise. It was good, but not great. I didn’t expect much better with the new movie and as the trailers started to come out, I started to get a really, really bad feeling about the end product. It just looked like a disjointed mess, especially the scenes with Wonder Woman “riding the lightning”.
It’s really a shame that I was right about it all along.
