I really wanted to hate this movie. I went into it thinking I would hate it. Turns out, I didn't hate it. There were a lot of really dumb attempts at humor but there were also a few that caught me by surprise because they actually landed. Pretty decent cast w/ cameos and an Adam Sandler level of humor. Fine for late night, wanting to watch something dumb in the background of doing something else - which was my exact situation.

As someone who has not played the game in 20 years and only vaguely remember the characters/storylines it was a lot better than I had expected. I still liked it over the Marvel movies as this just seemed more fun and les focused on CGI just for the sake of CGI. At least the CGI here was in an effort to replicate the video game effects.

Fresh off the heels of recent sci fi shows like Black Mirror, this 'Twilight Zone' reboot is created within the spirit of the Twilight Zone, but it's also 60 years later - what do you want?

I found it to be an intriguing show on it's own, even without the attempt to capitalize on the namesake. Also appreciate the cameos reminiscent of the original show.
