Tockinit not horrible nor great

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Adam Peters (32%) Yet another self aware modern-day spin on 1950's giant creature horror movies that thanks to much cheaper visual effects are constantly being churned out these days. This it must be said is one of the better examples. The cast is likable, there's very little in terms of filler, and you get the feeling that they at least tried to make an enjoyable product here and not just a quick money spinner that only offers its fun/silly title and nothing really more besides. It's a short sit at just under 1 hour 20 mins which is plenty, there's lots of spider based carnage, a fun cameo, and really if you expected more from this than what you actually get then you're a fool.

gavin6942 A giant alien spider escapes from a military lab and rampages the city of Los Angeles. When a massive military strike fails, it is up to a team of scientists and one clever exterminator to kill the creature before the city is destroyed.When a film is titled such as this one is, lower your expectations and just have fun. Some critics have said it is a return to classic Roger Corman style. That is not exactly accurate. This is even more out there than Corman was in his prime. Others have said this is not as good as the SyFy Channel films of a similar nature. Wrong again, this is superior.If a complaint had to be made, it is that the film has a subtle anti-feminist vibe. The female lead, despite being a lieutenant in the military, is utterly helpless most of the time and needs a bumbling exterminator to save her. She just needs to look pretty. Wow.It would be easy to complain about the terrible CGI, but really this is just part of the fun. The creators obviously know it does not look real, but it looks real enough for the purposes of the film -- to entertain. While it could be a "horror comedy", it is more comedy than horror, with the gory scenes far outshadowed by the humor.Just relax and have fun.

michael-stenlund I have to say, out of 10 stars, a 7 is a good honest rating in my opinion as this was created by Mike Mendez and being the Beavis & Butthead director and storyline projector he created yet another experience on the screen which made me laugh out loud often and smile at partially funny scenes.Want a good quality comedy which is so non-serious, its a good film? See Big Assed Spider! If the title hasn't made you smile, then perhaps documentaries about watching grass grow is more exciting for you.This movie fits into the categories of films such as: Very bad things (Dark comedy), Serial Mom (Dark comedy), South Park, The movie (Comedy).

GL84 After a military experiment results in a giant, monster-sized spider getting loose in downtown L.A., an exterminator and his assistant team up with the military to try to stop it before it destroys the city.This is an incredibly enjoyable and enthusiastic monster movie that gets a lot right throughout. One of the biggest marks for it is the fact that there's just such a fun and hilarious attitude throughout this one that manages to weave throughout here and become a part of the movie's enjoyable charm. From the near-constant stream of really enjoyable one-liners to the general plot line about a gigantic alien spider running amok in Los Angeles and the rather funny side-characters that are a part of the different encounters throughout the story here, it all makes for a rather funny time here and generally makes the movie more enjoyable as the goofy tone matches the goofy action and story being treated here which is what makes for a consistent and entertaining effort. That also makes the action throughout this one a lot of fun with it's constant and seemingly never-ending series of battles against the spider as the hospital attack, rampage through the park, the chase through the winding mountain road and eventually the full confrontation in the city manage to make for a series of exciting and enjoyable action scenes that are full-on enjoyable with their mix of extreme cheese, high-energy base and continued usage of comedy to help make the situation stand out even moreso than usual with rather grandiose flair. The city attack is even more noteworthy for the incredible amount of destruction it unleashes before getting to the battle with the armed forces, taking out all manner of buildings, roadways and others along the way before getting to the final battle, which comes off as rather funny and yet ingenious at the same time. That said, it's tendency to constantly go for the joke instead of taking things serious, as the fact that a giant man-eating spider is loose in a giant metropolitan city is a pretty serious matter and shouldn't be taken lightly no matter how goofy it takes itself, this feeling does undermine the film at the wrong times when they unleash yet another joke instead of trying to take the situation as anything but and it does come off as a little much. As well, the constant CGI utilized for the spiders do make for a rather bland and wholly unsatisfying monster with it's rather obvious fakery and blatant insertion into scenes when it doesn't line up with the human interactions against it. Otherwise, this one becomes a rather fun and entertaining blast of a monster movie.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.
