If Viagara or Ciallis was around in the late 70s the filmmakers in X would still be alive😅

This movie feels like a film from several decades ago that you find on the bottom shelf of a video store...and by gawd it is glorious! Wan took a bunch of good bad films and tossed them in a blender. There are shades of The Eyes of Laura Mars, Basket Case, Shocker, and numerous Giallo films. Malignant is a mess, but it's a mess for people who like to get messy

All of the problems from the original film persist. It doesn't follow its own internal logic very well and it is drab. Seriously, what did color ever do to Snyder? It was interesting to see how integral to the plot Cyborg actually was versus his extremely diminished time in Whedon's. All in all it was an exercise in one mans slavish devotion to a project that was a great idea on paper (honestly, it's The Justice League, most of the heavy lifting is done by the property) but instead of making a movie that fans of these beloved characters wanted, he made his "Snyder" cut. The dour, bloody, melancholy, R rated film is everything that is wrong with comic book stuff today.
