I have seen that movie 10 to 15 times, that's how good it is. As a late 80's kid I grew up with all these great (and not so great) monster movies, I have seen all of them, name it.. I have seen it. Well you might have already guessed it by my ten star rating: "Tremors" is the unrivaled king of all of these flicks, the best of them. What we got here is a action-adventure-monster-comedy-horror piece that actually manages to get EVERYTHING right!

Actors: 10/10 (the chemistry between Bacon and Ward kills it!) Script: 10/10 (great dialog, great pacing, splendid finale) Camera: 10/10 (very fitting, can't describe, go and watch it) SFX: 10/10 (unmatched at the time, still a solid 8/10 today)

I love this movie. Not only because I grew up with it.. no but because it's a perfect experience for monster fans. You gasp, you laugh and are sad when it's over.

Batman is a real badass, the Joker is a total wacko, Harley Quinn is hot. What else do you need? No but seriously, Aussault on Arkham did many things right, the characters are fun (especially Boomerang who is the major comic relief in this movie, the Joker and of course Quinn), the action is pretty awesome and there were some very fine One-Liners also.

What I liked the most was the very mature style of the movie, there is blood spilled, heads are blown of and teeth get punched in but nothing is never totally over the top (as many already said it's very surprising Assault on Arkham was rated PG-13 and not R).

Altogether I liked:

-gritty style

-mature humor

-well animated action/fight scenes

-actuall plot surprises

-real fight consequences (villains DIE, and don't flee with a black eye)

-GREAT voice acting

Now for the things I did not like:

-not enough Joker (yes his role was pretty major but it was not quite enough screen time for my taste)

-overall to short (71 mins? really?)

I really don't want to hate on Katie Holmes, but fact is, it was her performance that made many scenes of this movie unbearable. She is overacting, a common mistake made by people who can't act at all. Emily Blunt, Karen Gillan or Jennifer Garner would have been much better choices. James Badge Dale tried to save the day and actually did save some parts (like the hilarious dance scene), but not the whole movie. Sad, cause the premise is quite fun and had A LOT of potential. I gave it five stars because the last 20 minutes really do have some sort of suspense to them and the camera work was pretty good (all those weird angles we saw the bad guy in). I recommend this movie only for absolute Katie Holmes fans or at least people who are able to completely shut her out, which could become difficult because you know... she's the lead and all...
