Ape vs. Monster

I can do a better acting job than these people. Truly horrible! Wooden and zero emoting. Even Eric Roberts seemed to be phoning it in. Horrible CGI. I couldn't finish it and I pretty much watch anything. It was worse than a high school play. PAINFUL.

I wonder if the makers even watched this before releasing it to public. The bad CGI took the last bit from it. Worst of its kind.

A much better title would be "Monkey VS Monster". They have a chimp turn into what looks like a big stuffed toy monkey and a Gila monster that turns into some sort of large lizard. Terrible dialog, bad acting, bad CGI makes for a very funny film. Lots of "WTF's which will keep you scratching your head. Gave it a 2 instead of a 1 due to the somewhat entertainment we got out of this.

Yup, another lovely mockbuster from The Asylum. And this time they are cashing in on "Godzilla vs. Kong".

I mean, just by the movie's cover/poster alone, you already know it is going to be one of those movies. Yet, I still opted to sit down and watch it. Why? Well, every now and again a watchable enough movie does make it out of The Asylum's mill.

"Ape vs. Monster" was watchable, sure, but it was by no means an entertaining movie. Especially so since the two gargantuan creatures had so very little screen time. Come on people at The Asylum. When people sit down to watch your mockbusters, they want to watch the action between two gargantuan creatures fighting, and not having to sit through 90% screen time of dubious acting and horrible dialogue.

But yeah, that was what "Ape vs. Monster" was. The majority of the movie was just dialogue between the actors and actresses. And mind you, the dialogue was not well-written, nor was it well-delivered by the performers. So you are not in for a Shakespearian experience when you sit down to watch "Ape vs. Monster".

Visually then I have to say that The Asylum definitely upped their game here. The CGI in "Ape vs. Monster" was far superior to most other of the movies that The Asylum spews out. Sure, this wasn't really overly great CGI in comparison to many other big budget Hollywood movies. But for a movie from The Asylum, then it wasn't all too shabby.

Of all the actors and actresses that participated in "Ape vs. Monster", then it was only Eric Roberts that I was familiar with. And let's just be frank here, he isn't exactly a big league player. Though I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to see him stoop to the level of participating in a movie from The Asylum. But hey, a dollar is a dollar, right? It should be noted that the acting in the movie was rigid, wooden and dubious at best.

"Ape vs. Monster" is just another run-of-the-mill mockbuster from The Asylum, for better or worse. So if you enjoy these types of movies, perhaps you will find some enjoyment in this 2021 movie. If you are looking for a properly entertaining movie, then "Ape vs. Monster" is not your best bet.

I am rating "Ape vs. Monster" a generous three out of ten stars.

Omg where do I start.. I have no words but omg the fact that they used Godzilla's roar?! Like damn... toho might come for y'all lol. I'm not being toxic but Jesus Christ this was awful. It looked promising but when I saw the cgi- yeaa HELL NO! I would rate this a 0 but I can't
