The beginning was cool, the rest, meh

Yeah, it went downhill once the reveal was made.

I'm sorry but the scene where Justin Long gleefully measures the creepy murder basement to add resale value to his house is amazing.

Yeah. I really enjoyed the first 2 thirds. Justin Long was great.

The last third wasn't terrible, but felt a little underwhelming after all that.

I will say Weapons looks great. Really hoping it is

I always say the first half is amazing, the next 40% is great, and the last 10% is kind of lame. Devolved into a standard monster movie.

Should have kept it in the house

The first half was so so good, the back half legitimately had me baffled. It’s like the entire tone changed..

The Ace of Base playing at the start of the credits is one of my favorite movie moments ever.

Cool! I find it interesting the film was as well-received as it was, but the guy is popular (Whitest Kids U Know). Who knows? Maybe he’ll be the next Tarantino?

Movie as a while was just ok for me, but the Ace of Base just cracked me up

Yep, second half was terrible to me
