I love the Bong Joon ho's decision to have fun following his major success with this story. He clearly wanted to see Robert Pattinson showcase his unhinged acting abilities, and who could blame him? I mean, is there any role this actor cannot play? Who would have predicted that a performer from Twilight would evolve into one of the best and most versatile actors of our generation? I anticipated another outstanding performance from Pattinson, and I was not disappointed.
I admire the film's blend of silliness with thought-provoking themes, raising philosophical questions that linger throughout. The film cleverly critiques Western idiocy and societal norms, which adds depth to its humor.
What surprised me most was my love for the creepers, the film's unique creatures. They managed to evoke affection in a surprisingly short amount of screen time, leaving me curious to learn more about them.
The cinematography, VFXs, and musical score are all impressive. While the screenplay could benefit from further refinement to reach its full potential, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
