This monster movie, from the Marvel stable, is surprisingly entertaining and pleasingly old-fashioned as in that feels like a late sixties picture despite all the 21st century technology on display and it gives that very fine actor Tom Hardy a chance to flex his superhero muscles as well as giving Michelle Williams the opportunity to dumb down. Throw in the hugely talented Riz Ahmed as the bad guy, some excellent cinematography from Matthew Libatique and great special effects and what's not to like.
Ok, at its core it's just a big, dumb monster movie about shape-shifting aliens and we've been down this road at least a hundred times before but it's also very funny and does make for a highly enjoyable might out at the multiplex; oh, and don't leave when the end credits begin.
