I also really didn't understand why they brought in so many new characters only to have them die ten seconds after they were introduced. Did they even have names besides Doc and RAZER? I guess the guy with the sword was Christian or something, but come on. Giving Ruby Roses' unamed character a five-minute death scene with sad music was just silly. Why not bring back K-Mart? That would have been an impactful death.

My pure speculation was that the initial script included many of the previous characters but they couldn't get them for various reasons so they plugged in newbies.

Ian Glenn was having the time of his life, though, which was great.

He really was and it was a joy to watch.

No. The movie starts in the aftermath of that battle in a (admittedly impressive) bombed out DC.

The completely leveled city was pretty sweet. some solid design work went into that, made for a great setpiece to the opening Alice v Monster fight

That first fight was where the sound editing really started grating on me, all at once.

Remember any specifics? I tend to only remember sound design when a scene emphasizes it.

Perhaps the theatre was to blame for part of it, but the volume that made the dialogue clear made the loud parts painfully loud, and that fight in particular was painfully loud right off the bat. More importantly, whenever the movie does that multiple-jump-scare thing it does whenever there's biting and snapping monsters, there's not just the sound of the monster but some non-diegetic irritating metallic sounds thrown in.

(Why is it that movies with bestial monsters always imagine that they will make screeching noises that are far more aggravating than scary? Alien, I guess.)

Yeah I don't remember the first fight being overbearingly loud, but thinking back you're on the money with metallic monster sounds

I love this stupid series. I hope for more with Mila (Milla?).
