This is a POPCORN movie. This is a HORROR movie. This is a PAUL VERHOEVEN movie. So, yes, there will be gaping plot logic holes, bad dialogue, and loads of politically incorrect situations. But the idea here is to sit back and be taken for a thrill ride, which I did, in spite of the many bad reviews I read before I saw this. I had FUN! I didn't expect Citizen Kane but maybe many of the reviewers here at IMDB did. And just to take a point with some of these reviews, the question of the animal testing is taken to task by Kim Dickens' character, the vet. And Sebastian, Kevin Bacon's character, does morally reprehensible things because he's the VILLAIN! Nobody was complaining about Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs for his deeds; he's seen as 'memorable'. So don't feel the need to jump on the negativity bandwagon with this one, because it's seems to the popular thing to do, just take your expectations down a couple of notches and enjoy.
By the way, the special effects are among the best I've seen this year!!
