Movie Reviews of Curse Of the KomodoMovie Review: Honestly, I love this movie Summary: 4 Stars
Usually when I wait a long time to see a movie my expectations build up so much that I end up hating it when I finally see it.
(Somewhere along the line I got the impression this was more-or-less a zombie movie featuring a large Komodo dragon, and while there are some zombie-esque ...rabid... poisoned people... for lack of a better term, their part in the movie isn't that big.)
This time, in spite of waiting 18-19 months, I really enjoyed it. At the time I wasn't sure I even wanted to watch it. There's a lot more character depth than I normally expect from this kind of movie. There's some small details I liked too, like early on in the movie people actually RELOAD their guns.
I think the giant komodo dragon itself was very cute, but I think all giant reptiles are very cute, so that's not really saying much.
Admittedly, the movie could have worked without giant komodo dragons, rabid poisoned zombie people, etc. There's been many movies with sharks, many movies with crocodiles, and so on. I think komodo dragons could have been "milked" more before resorting to gimmicks like that. That's why I give the movie four stars. It's one of my favorite movies, but I can see it has a few obvious flaws.
