Two of the biggest movie stars of monsterdom are back once again in this throw-back thriller that despite its best intentions, fizzles in comparison to the legacy it so desperately tries to connect to. To be fair, this rock 'em sock 'em match up is yards better than its sorry predecessor, yet there are still many things that are missing in the Brother Strause's tale of small town meets intergalactic men-in-suits, the first of which is a script. Shane Salerno must be a lucky guy -- who else could ride a screenplay this lacking all the way through production and to the third highest grossing Christmas release of its time? Apparently Mr. I Wrote Armageddon knows exactly what the public wants out of these bad street brawlers -- and that's teen love. Not only that, but Salerno also has the gall to throw in a dime store Ripley and Newt relationship that couldn't be more transparent if he tried (which he didn't). Essentially, it's the same problem that lies underneath the whole production -- and that it's all some sort of rehash. The same goes for many other pieces of the production's pie -- with music, sets and themes steeped in reverence, with little cohesion to create an organic product. Amazingly, none of this is what truly ankles the production -- that esteemed privilege is held by none other than the dynamic duo at the helm of this sinking ship, The Brothers Strause.
