    This was extremely funny Movie but easily forgetable.
  • September 28, 2009
    Bit of a rubbish remake of a 50's classic but I have to say, a 50 foot Daryl Hannah is a nice thought!

    The effects looks okay, but I believe this arch remake of one of cinema's all-time turkeys. It's hard to decide whether title character Daryl Hannah is less interesting before and after her transformation.

    Daryl Hannah. I don't know what else needs to be said. It's a B-movie all the way. Simple story, cheesy acting, and... Daryl Hannah. You'll forget about the plot before the movie's even over, but it will reinforce that Daryl Hannah is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace... read more the screen.

    This was a very strange piece...I would like some of the druga they were using to create this one..."
  • June 12, 2007
    A nice throwback to cheesy '50's sci-fi flicks, but unless you like that stuff, don't bother with this.

    I watched this, It was on one of the movie channels. It's a remake of an older film and its not good.

    I've loved this movie since I was a kid, I reccommend it for every silly man who thinks he can run rings around a woman

Not nearly as bad as the original, and that's not good.

The original enterained unconsciously. This tries too hard and thinks it's too clever.
