If a movie were going to be made of the Killraven mythos, stripping it down to its "essentials" and containing the story, yet still leaving the door open for a sequel, this would be it. Because that's what we have here: a leaner, meaner version of the story that sprawled all over the place under Don McGregor's authorship. (Also, the breasts are even perkier, which I would not have thought possible.) The story here is obviously designed to appeal to old and new fans alike, with some surprises that are effective because reading the old comics mean you expect something to go a different way than it does. Some of the character changes work-- Old Skull knows what the first person is-- and some don't-- Carmilla was more interesting as a scientist than a gladiatrix. Sometimes you don't miss what you had until it was gone, and the feel of this is vastly different without McGregor's philosophical ponderings... it's more a straight-up action story and less a reflection of the problems of the present day like a The War of the Worlds spin-off should be. The action works well, though, especially the stunning climax. I'd watch this movie, though I'd mourn the loss of the tone McGregor had brought... tone I hadn't even recognized until it was gone. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
