ZEDD'S OPINION:
The plot is unique and dark. It's amazing how all the little monsters look alike. That's a feet in itself. A great cast,
a great director and a good story. I give it..8 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
There are certain things I agree with Zedd about and certain things I don't. I found THE BROOD interesting and a strangely
scary atmosphere, however it was slow. Very slow at points, it dragged on and on. I must admit I didn't enjoy it as much
as ZEDD did and I must give it a mere...6 STARS
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ ATMOSPHERE (There is just the right amount of atmosphere in this one.)
+ ACTING (Powerful perfomences from the cast.)
+ GREAT CAST (I think the cast worked well together.)
+ LITTLE MONSTERS (The little monsters were pretty scary looking.)
...AND FINALLY...
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- SLOW AND DRAGGY (VOLTRON found it slow to the point of boring at points.)
