HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review ..........goonies 2 : electric boogaloo ....the movie !!!!!!!!!!
Though not as epic scaled as goonies ......this for sure has a kind of throw back feel of that film, for a few reasons ...one of the biggest being this movie is about growing up, over coming fear and coming out brave and triumphant .......the goonies as well was about all that ......
this movie though kept it small to one central location - a haunted house , where as the goonies was all over the place just running around
NOW this film was a fun kids movie, i didnt realize that until i already started it lol.... but thats okay it reminds you of the days after school watching goosbumps on fox kids .... this has its "oohhhh scary" but obviously not at all scary moments going on .... so for younger kids absolutely a great film , for older horror heads like myself ...absolutely not a great film lol.... the kids actually acted great, better in fact that 90% of the indie films and low budget films / sci fi channel films you see all the time .... heck "the asylum" studios should just call up these kids to star in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE THEY MAKE from now on ............because they did a solid job .......the FX were cheesy sure BUT again ...kids horror film .... so ... they are meant to be FUN not scary ...
dont expect people getting their heads cut off while the mini ghost busters here scooby doo it around the house .......because its not happening ......just classy kid humor with some basic story plot going on nothing fancy .... i actually expected MORE plot wise, like for them to discover some money hidden or something ANYTHING else ..... but instead they just kept the story in a straight line , didnt waver in the slightest ......
the basics to take away here , they were trying to drive home some moral points , stand up to bullies , and dont be too hard on your kids to be like you ...etc ...so under tones plot points going on ....but honestly none of that was very impactful , it all felt kind of empty , like the bullies ...did they really learn anything ? ... i mean ..in the end they SEEMED to respect the kids but really ? ....just thats it .....a little scare to them from the window and now its like "hey these kids are some bad mofos lets respect them " ............i dont know ... and the girl learned its okay to be different and weird suddenly by talking to the other kids dad , and the dad just after how ever many years became a completely different guy to his son .... you know its like in one single night EVERYONE in the entire town just flip flopped lol....like some batman villain came along and put something in the cities water supply ..... riddle them that batsy ..........
all and all it would be a fun flick to watch with your kids on a halloween night if you have little ones around 4-8 ish ......once they turn 9 ....well its time for good ol texas chainsaw massacre !!!!!!!!
8/10
OH and the interaction between the dad and "todd" cracked me up ....so good job writers ........
