HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME,(4) and today we review ...... "them part 2" the movie !!!!!!!!!!

Strap on your nostalgia boots and grab some old timey popcorn ....because this one will take you back to an era of drive ins and black and white sci fi films about giant bugs ........

now me ...i have a soft spot for giant bug movies ... right at the top of my head ....the doctors said it should have fused together by now BUT as long as i am REALLY carefull it should be fine ......... but i love giant monsters, giant bugs ....pretty much giant whatevers when it comes to sci fi / horror films and this movie does a GREAT job of going OLDSCHOOL with the methods they used to bring the creatures to life ........ STOP - GO ANIMATION !!!!!!!!!!!! Ray harryhausen is dancing a happy jig in his gave right now knowing someone still cars enough to forgo the CGI and bring back the original special FX styles like stop-go animation ........ it pulls in some sort of strange charm to any film ....and sci fi / fantasy films have always been able to get away with it .... now say ... a drama on the lifetime network ...probably not so much ....BUT giant spider monsters .........ugh okay enough about my love for this kind of garbage !!!!!

Was the film any good ? ..... eh ... it was fun because of the old school vibes sure, now of course on youtube they cut out the nudity ....and the gore ..so your missing alot on this one BUT lucky for me i have owned it for a few years so ive already seen it ALL OF IT .... the acting is on par with low budgets and the lighting and over all cinematic aspects are on par as well with your average middle 2000s films so it wasnt some ba-gillion dollar movie .... of course not ......but its a campy little thing that gives nod to the classic drive ins of yesteryear .....with added naked chicks and gore ....lol ......... so i mean .... some nice updates ....

over all IF you love giant bugs/monsters give it a watch im sure youll at least find something in it to enjoy ..... maybe not maybe youll hate it for trying to "be like those movies from way back" ....but its not ...its giving homage ........its saying thanks to the past while looking to the future .........

7/10 - for the sheer love of these types of films lol.
