While I may have been a little carried away with my “A-” grade, I very much enjoyed Breck Eisner’s Crazies.
There is a four-issue comic that was collecting dust on my desk that I found actually did a good job of reminding me that, dammit, I liked this flick.
What’s funny is that the comic rounds out some of the story elements in the film that seemed glossed over. Which means they knew when their script was skipping over stuff (like why those guys in the pickup were killing people, or why there was a not-quite-dead guy with a sewn mouth in the hospital.) I like the fact that at some point after the final cut someone said, “we’ll stick that in a comic too explain it.”
I hope this becomes the new default instead of “we’ll put it in the DVD.”
