Another US vs Taliban movie, with an occasional monster thrown in. A lot like Battle LA, if there were no aliens

"This was our home. It was our last day, so for those last few hours we needed to forget about what was coming." Ten years after the monsters landed on Earth things have gotten worse. They have begun to fully take over the entire planet and now with the US military using all of its resources to fight them off they now have to contend with a new type of insurgency. I will start by saying that I remember seeing the first one, thinking it was a little slow, but it's been so long all I remember about it is the cheesy ending. I had the same expectations for this one. I was wrong. While I though this one was a little better it was still pretty slow moving and was really missing something the first one had...monsters. In terms of war movies this one is pretty decent, the problem with it is that every so often a monster would pop up out of nowhere, presumably to remind you the movie is called monsters. Some movies are deceiving because of the trailers released, they seem funny and are really dramas, etc...this is the first movie I have seen where the title is misleading. This is really just another US vs Taliban movie, with an occasional (out of place) monster thrown in. Overall, a movie much like Battle LA, if there were no aliens in that movie. I give this a C.

Should have been titled Monsters: in the background

This is the most disappointing movie I have seen in a while. I have no idea why they even had "Monsters" in the title or movie for that matter. They could have saved everyone some time and money by not having monsters at all, seeing as how they only serve as a backdrop for a poor war story, which is really just a 5 minute shoot out and a 3 minute escape. It starts out with a sad story about some "poor kids" growing up in Detroit, so of course they think they are hard. They decide to join the army to fight monsters. They get their wish as they kill 1 shortly after arriving in the middle east. And that is about it, other than a few monsters being bombed there is no reason to have monsters in the movie at all. The monsters are decent looking even though they serve almost no purpose to the story, except to draw attention away from the HORRIBLE story. If you have 2 hours and nothing to do and can't sleep , it might be worth watching. If only to put you to sleep.

A terrible sequel; no wonder it bombed

I should admit from the start that I was no fan of the original MONSTERS, which I found to be an arty bore. Sadly, this terrible sequel is even worse, a near-plot less affair that manages to convey a weird apocalyptic world populated by a giant alien race co-existing alongside mankind. However, much of this is mere subtext and instead DARK CONTINENT seems to be your typical men-on-a-mission war film.

It's gritty and hand-held throughout, but suffers hugely from an excruciatingly lunk-headed script which is full of profanity and no wit. There's a lot of screaming, shouting, and crying, which all gets very tiresome very quickly. The CGI effects are used sparingly and are pretty good, but for me the writing is the thing and it's really poor here. It's a shame, as a couple of the main actors have been great elsewhere (Johnny Harris in THIS IS ENGLAND, Joe Dempsie in GAME OF THRONES) but they're really struggling here.
