yay or nay

I sat through the first half hour, thinking “Oh, ha-ha, look, they’re in a creepy gas station like lots of classic horrors. Granted, they aren’t making actual jokes, but the fact they’re there is funny…sort of…” Then, after an interminable amount of time, the twist was revealed. I won’t reveal it, because the only highlight of The Cabin in the Woods is the twist, but it is great. I will give it that, it was great, unexpected, and made the film somewhat more enjoyable. Herein lies the problem; the ending twenty minutes is so utterly *beep* insane, it runs out of things to do. The ending is so built up that when it occurs, it has no impact. Quite simply, nothing could happen that would live up to the ambition of the script. Joss Whedon, the fanboy’s favourite after this and Avengers Assemble, can’t live up to the hype set by his own writing. but my dads liked the movie hahahahhahahaha
