Good review Bob, im planning on seeing it tonight or tomorrow night.
Good. I need a movie to wash out the taste of Battle: LA. I've seen worse apocalyptic alien invasion movies, but after the third ground battle scene I felt like I do when watching a friend play Gears of War when they're stuck at any of the interchangeable crouch-and-shoot points, which gets very boring when you're not the one playing. By the end I was just checking my watch and hoping I was in the movie's last 30 minutes already.
Then again, something about Seth Rogan grates on my ears something awful as of late, so here's hoping that doesn't affect my opinion of 'Paul' overall too much.

I concur, but my big sticking point for a film like this is that it often confuses Christianity with the ID people. As a Catholic, I've taken my fair load of excrement from people who don't realize that even the Pope in Rome has said that both evolution and the existence of other intelligent life in the universe are in no way in conflict with the church's ideals.
So as long as a movie is smart enough to know who is stupid, I am on board.

Not being one to avoid a few "screw you"s for the intelligent design crowd, I think it might be a bit hypocritical when the main alien can bring things back from the dead just to eat them. What evolutionary adaptation would require that ability?
Anyway, I love these guy's other movies, so I'll definitely see this at some point.

OT: I was gearing up to go and see this film at some point, looks like I'm definitely going now. Good review.
Maybe it's just because i'm not American, but I didn't find the film that funny at all.
It was average at best, with shoe-horned in romance and the usual twist ending.

Huh? It's been a long time, but I've read virtually all of Howard's 'Conan' series, and I don't recall that. While he was an accomplished thief, Howard often described him as 'giant' and 'massive' and often says he was the strongest man alive. Subotai and Valeria were the thin, acrobatic type.guise709 said:
Schwarzenegger was the perfect Conan, with the exception of his eyes; so ultimately, I agree with Bob: that guy doesn't really fit the bill, but I'm almost definitely going to see the movie anyway.
