Island of Beasts

Come on, you guys are taking this way too seriously! You know how cool it is to put on Wynorski's magnum opus, crack open a beer, enjoy the genre clichés, laugh at the bad visual effects and the tragic actors, and guess with a friend which of the characters will be the next to die? The first one had to be the smoker, that's for sure, it's a pest today and we had a 100% guessing success rate until the very end, shame the ending spoiled it for us. (31.07.2006)

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the showdown of the century: 16-bit Cobra vs. Komodo Dragon, who looks only slightly better than the stuffed animal on your bed. The Cobra appears to have crawled out of a time machine from the early days of digital effects. The Komodo? A bit of an upgrade, but with graphics that scream the Tomb Raider video games circa 1997, except this movie was made in 2005. Now, let’s get to the action... Instead of tearing each other to pieces, these two decide to team up and tear apart a bunch of idiots wandering around an island, thinking they’re the smartest people there. Spoiler alert: they’re not. There’s plenty of carnage, but it’s all absurdly stupid. As for who wins? I’ll let you figure that out—I stopped counting the bodies and slipped into a coma a few minutes before the end. And honestly, I’m fine with that. (20.09.2012)

If you look forward to the scenes where the monster appears in most movies with giant monsters, and you don't enjoy the scenes where the monster doesn't appear and people are just talking, Komodo vs. Cobra is the exact opposite. Here, you aren’t going to enjoy the scenes with monsters and instead you'll enjoy the scenes with people where the actors try to act a bit. Even so, you won't be too impressed with the film because it's simply weak. Very weak. (29.01.2019)
