what you expect ..but not bad

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review .... the old crazy guy was right ... THE MOVIE !

OKAY SO #1 as "torsung81" pointed out this film is in fact called BEHEMOTH ... and came out in like 2010/11 .. on the sci fi channel if im not mistaken even lol.... but i most remember it in the good ol movie rental store staring at me all the time ....REMEMBER those places .... you know ...where you went every week to see what came out and enjoy the nostalgic fun of renting a movie with the kids and just .... ahhh memories we will never have again ...

anyways ...... this is a 3rd generational creature feature film ...... we had the first WAY back .... the black and white ones with giant ants , and lizards ....then we had the 80/90s remaking those, and had a couple of giant anacondas lol ....then in the 2000s we say TONS of giant creatures showing up ..... its was great .... well sometimes ..... the worst part of the 2000s /3rd generation of these creature features that centered on giant monsters usually animal based is they use CGI creatures ....and wow .... its either awesomely cheesy or just terribly bad .... usually no "good" in sight .......however this one is pretty good looking on screen .... in 2010 digial FX were still a bit rough around the edges .....here in 2023 digital FX are STILL rough around the edges ...it's like the made it to about half way and said ...meh ...close enough we don't REALLY need to go any further .... so honestly i can't complain about the creature here ....

WELL......

it looks goofy in the head lol.... it kind of looks like "the giant claw" lol.... if you know you know ....... just the way it opens its mouth , other wise it looks like ... a giant rock star fish on a mountain with a long bird head neck going on and some tentacles ..... for sure do NOT look that up online ...

over all the film is a solid , classic creature feature film, it follows the usual story,and has the usual tropes ....... BUT it does kind of feels a little more ...i don't really know ... maybe like actiony ? Maybe its from all the shaking lol.... i would say it felt more paced , faster moving BUT not really we spend plenty of time following around our mains and all this back story ... so its pretty standard ...hmmmm ill have to figure that one out .........

SO this one is a fun little film , it doesn't offer up anything really new per say , but not much does now .... and even at the time it came out it was pretty on par with the others , there's nothing bad about it really, the acting is okay, the lighting , sound etc is all on the positive side of things .... but at the same time it doesn't offer anything in a way of REALLY making you remember it 2 days later .....

4/10

personally i enjoyed it but again with there being SO many creature features out there that do offer more funny moments or excitement or innovative aspects film wise (like:8 legged freaks-2002) this one is just ...okay .....
