Very well executed
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
