Monsters: Dark Continent trailer


I might not be a music genius, and rap is certainly not my thing, but the rap in this trailer is one of the worst I've ever heard. 



A couple weeks ago, during my Godzilla countdown leading up to the new film, I reviewed a film called Monsters. It was directed by Gareth Edwards, who also directed the new Godzilla. I was bored out of my mind by Monsters. It was too slow paced and there was no payoff for the suspense. Scenes dragged on too long and the characters were stupid. I didn't like it. But apparently, it's getting a sequel. Oh boy. 

What happened? It looks like a completely different type of movie than the first one! The first one was (trying) to be an adventure film. Now it looks like the monsters aren't even the focus (not that they ever were). Seems more like a dramatic, gritty, war movie. I don't know what to think of it. The guy rapping sounds like he's half asleep. If it's the main character doing it, then I KNOW we're in for a thrill ride! Might as well be asleep with him. The monsters, for the short glimpses we get, actually look really cool. They seem a lot more creatively designed than the generic giant squids we got last time. To be honest, it does look like there's a lot more action in this one, but how much of it there is remains a mystery until its release date, which is September, if I remember correctly. It might be decent, or it could be as boring as the first. Who knows? You can bet I'll (try to) give it a watch the first chance I get.
