Another one of the Carpenter classics (perception wise that is) and another one added to the list. I had not seen this until the other day and have to admit it was quite the fun ride. The two main characters really elevate the movie experience and really do the best to make this as fun as possible.
That doesn't mean this is without flaws. Quite the opposite is the case, the pacing may be too much for some, the coherent level may vary and you may get confused more than a few times. But the movie has enough charme to get you over any of that. It has enough crazy ideas and enough of buddy comedy and enough of mythology to get your juices going.
For some so much, that they might be angered I only gave this 8 - but for others this may feel as too high a rating. If you haven't seen it yet, give it a try. The effects especially (because pre CGI) have aged very well, this can be as camp as you want it to be. Entertainment all around
