The acting was ridiculous, the story was childish, the effects were fake-looking, it was long, disjointed, and often boring. I had to do a doubletake to make sure I was watching the same film that received a 90+rating on rotten tomatoes. The opening scene was like something put on by a high school drama club and it didn't improve much from there. Once they got to the funeral scene with the family wailing and falling all over eachother for what seemed like ten minutes of screen time I was done. Does the fact that it was a Korean film make up for its myriad shortcomings? Do we give the kind of boost that elevates a straight-to-dvd quality joke of a movie into a critical darling just because it is Korean? I didn't get that memo I guess.

Jeez, what does it take these days? I bet you loved Twilight though. Can't wait for this sequel as the original was incredible. How could you not like The Host? Jeez, what does it take these days?

Yeah, yeah, yeah I got the metaphor. It was very in-your-face. Which is fine. But what bothered me were the logic gaps the filmmakers took to service the metaphor they were trying to make. Working backwards like that really hurt the movie. One of the most overrated movies in recent memory. Yeah, yeah, yeah I got the metaphor. It was very in-your-face. Which is fine.

Don't think a prequel is a good idea though. Let's see. Well I though Host was one of the best monster movies ever made. Don't think a prequel is a good idea though. Let's see.
