"You know, the type of kid that doesn’t take any shit from anyone and would easily give Mad Max, Beatrix Kiddo, or Snake Plisken a run for their money."
The Monster Squad is about, and this might surprise you, a squad of monsters facing off against a squad of kids determined to stop them. The movie plays on two fronts and I honestly did not realize this until sitting down to type out that sentence.
It’s harder edged, it’s much more entertaining, has more imagination, and it holds up against the rose colored glasses of nostalgia. Goonies never say die, but The Monster Squad kills the fuck out of monsters and bad guys.
