Julia W First, you have to suspend your disbelief and enter the world of this movie. This is a world where a woman must overcome her demons, see the lack of love in her life and her effect on others before she can learn her own value and power. It's also about masks, jealousy and coping mechanisms. I'm not a fan of monster movies but I appreciate the story arc, atmosphere and acting.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Landon J This is actually a very boring movie disguised with a cool premise. The monster trope plays next to no role in the events of the picture. Very unlikeable characters, nonsensical, paper thin story arc, and little redeeming qualities, skip this for sure. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Ralph R Colossal is a unique and inventive film that blends sci-fi, drama, and dark comedy in a way that feels fresh but also somewhat uneven. The plot starts strong with an engaging setup, introducing its characters and premise smoothly. As the second act unfolds, the movie leans into a tone that sometimes feels more like a chaotic cartoon than a grounded narrative, making it a bit difficult to take seriously at times. The final act brings things back on track with a solid ending, though it feels like something is missing, a deeper exploration of its themes or a more refined execution could have elevated it further. The directing by Nacho Vigalondo is ambitious, and you can tell he had a clear vision for mixing genres and subverting expectations. Cinematography is decent, with some well-framed shots, though nothing particularly stunning. The real strength of the film lies in its acting, especially Anne Hathaway, who carries the movie effortlessly and brings depth to her character. The supporting cast does a good job, but some character arcs feel underdeveloped, especially in the second act when things start to get a little wacky. Script-wise, Colossal has an interesting concept, but the execution is where opinions will split. Some dialogue is sharp and engaging, while other moments feel underwritten or a bit too on-the-nose. The score and sound design are serviceable but not particularly memorable. It does its job without distracting, but it doesn't stand out either. Overall, the movie is worth watching for its originality and Hathaway's performance, but it leaves you wishing it had gone just a little further with its ideas.
