Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
People are voting emotionally.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Nobody likes it when a woman is scorned. Unfaithful spouses, beware! I seen unfaithful husbands. The consequences of the matter is extreme. An angry wife is bad. An angry wife who is 50 feet tall is WORSE! In the remake of the 1958 classic fim, "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman", this one has a feminist movement to it. Here you have an heiress who is in a very unhappy marriage. Her husband (Daniel Baldwin) has a mistress on the side, and her father is using the Money to control the town. Since Nancy(Darryl Hannah) is being controlled by her father and husband, she can't express her displeasure at any means. When that fateful night came when she encountered a UFO, her whole life changes for the better. Since she couldn't convince anyone at first about the strange encounter, she and her go to the spot and gets taken by the saucer. That night she experience a BIG CHANGE! Her father and husband see it, and so does the rest of the town. It was nice to see snippets of the original movie, and it was big message sender. Equally important to everyone deserves a chance in life. If I was married, I would treat my wife like a queen. If I was a father, I would treat my daughter like a princess. Don't be like Harry, he has got a lot of growing up to do. I mean literally. The other husbands see that he deserves an attitude adjustment. See the original, and be the judge of that. Darryl Hannah is indeed one sexy giantess. 3 out of 5 stars. Sex appeal
This 1993 TV movie is a remake of a classic, campy bit of '50s sci-fi cinema and it's an absolute dog of a film. Perhaps understandably, the makes of this pitiful nonsense have gone for a comic, equally campy approach because there's no way the elements of this movie could ever be taken seriously, comedy or otherwise.ATTACK OF THE 50 FT. WOMAN is a film filled with horrible actors reading from a horrible script. It's diabolically bad, the script is puerile and at times it gets so bad that I actually felt embarrassed for those involved. Yes, this stuff could pass muster in the long-gone 1950s, but not in the early '90s when TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY had revolutionised the sci-fi genre just two years previously.Daryl Hannah lives up to her blonde bimbo reputation as the titular character, who doesn't even grow until an inordinate time of boring small-talk and excruciating attempts at character development have taken place. Meanwhile, the Baldwin clan have a reputation for playing sleazy, slimy and obnoxious characters and sibling Daniel takes the biscuit with his adulterous husband here - a character who's literally oozing grease and stupidity.The special effects are poor, and only appear "special" in a couple of scenes in the whole movie, and the sight of a wobbly, poorly-animated UFO is the barrel-scraping nadir, really. The idea of a scorned wife grown to gigantic proportions and wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting town in search of her slimeball husband is an outlandish one and something you think would be difficult to mess up; there's the spectacle if nothing else, but everything about this movie is screwed up in the worst way.
Maybe I didn't got the idea behind this remake of the 1958 classic but I found it a pure waist of time. It all looked very cheap, maybe it was intended but for me it didn't work. If you are remaking a flick then I suppose that you add something new towards it but by just using the same cheap effects for me it's a pity that it was made.The acting was also a bit exaggerated just like in the fifties but I just couldn't get into the characters. The main lead by Daryll Hannah was okay and she moved further to play in Kill Bill 1 and 2 and is supposed to return in part 3. Daniel Baldwin couldn't convince me at all but then again, so many failed in this flick. It's girl galore because Cristi Conaway was good too.But it is really so slow, too much of talking and nothing really happens until the last 15 minutes. I'm not digging flicks from the fifties but if you remake them the same way as then then I leave it as it is. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1/5
Except for the segments that featured the nearly buck naked Hanna as the 50 foot woman the movie was far worse than the original 1958 classic. The special effects were solid and the miniature sets convincing but that's about it for this turkey. What made most of the movie tiresome was the feminist message of 'women growing in power'. The message was delivered persistently and eventually became quite obnoxious. It was as though the filmmakers wanted to take the movie to a higher plane by attaching a heavy message to it. They failed in that quest but in the process managed to take much of the fun out of the movie. Obviously the movie is based on an absurd concept, but that's alright, it is SciFi after all. The film makers should have accepted the fact that the story was a simple, "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned' thing and had fun with it.The 1958 version became a classic only because Allison Hayes was such a bombshell and looked so good in the slow motion low angle shots. Hannah is also a bombshell and the remake could have enjoyed a similar induction into the cult classic club if they had dumped the dumb feminist message. I imagine the movie could be re-cut to weed out the Fem-Nazi chaff but would it really be worth the effort? Lastly, what was with the timid ending? The original had the enraged giantess crushing her cheating little husband to death in her hand and getting electrocuted soon after. The 1994 remake had the 50 footer getting zapped by 50,000 volts and then being transported aboard a feminist star ship and reanimated along with her naughty husband. Instead of being crushed by his pissed off wife for his indiscretions and betrayals the guy is confined to a fish tank that serves the all giantess starship crew as a male chauvinist pig reeducation center. I guess it was supposed to be funny but it was simply tiresome.There were however a few good lines in the movie but they are few and far between. The best line in the movie was delivered by Baldwin when the stunning but grotesquely over sized Nancy Archer suggests some sexual 'possibilities' during her attempt to seduce her wayward husband.Nancy Archer, "Think of it Harry, Love on the scale of Gulliver."Harry Archer, "You are crazy! What do you expect me to do, get a wetsuit and a flashlight?"Now that's funny.
