Review of Welcome to Marwen (2018) by Mark O — 21 Dec 2018

Romance, Action, Laughs-What more could you want from ANY movie? You should only take what "professional" movie critics have to say with a grain of salt. When "Welcome to Marwen" premiered for press reviews today, initial critiques flew quick and harsh, all too hurriedly denouncing Robert Zemeckis' superb new film as a major disappointment.

But BOY, those critics are SO wrong. The movie is GREAT! Marwen is a WONDERFUL adventure-fantasy-drama. From its opening scene to its last, the film is chocked full of action figure FUN. If you've ever loved playing with GIjOEs, Barbies, doll house miniatures, or anything else to do with the ever-expanding 1:6 scale collecting and customizing hobby, then this film is for you.

More importantly, if you also crave to see movies with characters that you can really care about, individuals who demonstrate that they have good, honest, GENTLE souls, then you'll love Marwen. Get up out of your office chair, get in your car, and go down to the local theater NOW to see this movie.

Go, HOGIE!
