Yeah, that's what bombed it for me. Ancient hominids go underground and evolve into Six Flags Fright Fest Presented by SNICKERS®? I don't think they could get away with hiding them from the audience, since half the suspense of blind monsters is seeing them when they can't see the characters, but I feel they should…

I liked the spelunking suspense all right, but once those wiggly rubber cave monsters popped out, I felt like one of them was about to start snarling how a Joss Whedon television character would never stop their evil plans. They seemed to have learned modern dance as their primary means of locomotion.

This is up there with "zombie howl from DOOM" and "door opening from DOOM" as soundboard standards that take me right out of a picture. I feel like the people putting effects into nerd-bait like brainy horror movies would know these things, and if they don't they should.

I didn't think it was a great movie, or even a very good one, but I was impressed by its quality as a revamp that lifted a lot of scenes from the Raimi movies but didn't make them feel like simple retreads of the same ground. It at least used the story to support some different themes from the originals.

I was surprised to learn that Cube came out in 1997. It just howls "2000" at me in my memory, since it seems so much like what appeared on the low-budget scene in the early 2000s.

I liked the dream-like concept and what was done on their budget, but there was a lot of scenery-chewing. That's a-okay with me in that sort of movie, but it's easy to see why the reviews were more along the lines of, "it'll be interesting to see what they'll do next" instead of "instant classic".

PRACTICALLY INVULNERABLE WHEN AH'M BLASTIN

And what is it with bad guys warning the good guys before trying to kill them?

But if they don't say what they're doing, how will you know? It's not like comic books have pictures.

I keep reading this as Batman and Robin vs. The Eternals and thinking, wow, that's got legs!

Nail on the head.

It's generally the same sort of super-fan who has been clamoring for an unnecessary Ghostbusters 3 (for years and years after the unnecessary sequel) that turns around and logs their unnecessary opinion about icky girls ruining their Ghostbusters movie.

It seems a glaring, unnecessarily iconoclastic omission on an otherwise complete list. You could catch me on here plenty of times in the past expressing my disdain for the laziness of wince-oriented semi-horror, but the original movie is solid enough that it's not surprising it launched a franchise and a wave of…

As a super-critical curmudgeon, this list is okay by me. Where I don't agree, I see the point. Where I do agree, well, I admit my surprise that anyone still remembers Ginger Snaps, although they very much should, of course.

Kidding me with this? Whale's Frankenstein, and even his gonzo, brilliant Son of Frankenstein, were infinitely more mature explorations of the story's themes, blocked and shot by a true and tortured genius.

Fake.

From that frame up above, I say they're worthy of the "Drawn in Becky's Notebook during Homeroom" comparison.

I never did like Dean Martin in the role. Steve Tyler had a much better sound for them.

I miss the unnamed "Initiative"-era Power Broker. I think he was described as from North Carolina of all places. That's a guy I wanted to know more about, mostly because he had done the smart thing and saved all the good stuff for himself.

Superior Foes had legs as a story, but not enough readers. I have yet to see an Ant-Man book that could muster either. The only one I've ever enjoyed was Irredeemable Ant-Man, and it never really goes anywhere so I can see why most other readers didn't. As I understand it, though, Superior Foes had more issues than…
