Summary: Respectful camp homage to 50's camp & to Harryhausen
Review: A movie worthy of the camp actor/icon Adam West, with wonderful, cheesey, stop-motion giant bugs, Carmen Electra, darkly funny dialogue and a knowing and affectionate nod to the stop-motion films of Ray Harryhausen. Must see!

Summary: Where's My Can of Raid and My Fly Swatter?
Review: Carmen, Carmen, Carmen. What were you thinking? I am a big fan of cheese movies, big bug movies, and my personal fave, nature-run-amok flicks. The problem here is despite a wonderfully campy performance by Adam West (can he give any other type?) this is too bad and tries to hard to achieve cult status. One can not make a cult movie on purpose, and took itself to seriously to be campy. The special effects aren't special, the acting is non-existant, the plot is looser than Carmen's bra, and I've seen better direction on a bubble gum commercial. Please! I want to sue the producers to get back my 90 minutes.
