In case you're confused, for the past two weeks I've been fighting a copyright battle with NBC Universal. Of all of things, they were protective of the scene with Herman drunk on an airplane. The upside is I got to do some more editing to this video to make a more refined version. I actually like this edit better than the last. Enjoy.
Every Rob Zombie movie has exactly one purpose: to give his wife an acting job. No one else would ever hire her, so he keeps making these vanity projects. Seriously, she can't even play a stripper onscreen convincingly, and she used to be one in real life!
Since the movie was released, I have heard a lot of people defend the movie's cheap and campy style as a faithful homage like if it's supposed to be bad, but they are actually missing the point of the original show. The show wasn't campy, it wasn't like Batman '66. At it's core, this movie doesn't resemble what made The Munsters so great. The show was about a family that society was afraid of. It's all about acceptance. But it was also a traditional 60s family sitcom where the family just so happened to be monsters. The show's look wasn't camp, and it looked like what any sitcom would look like from the 60s like Leave It to Beaver. The black and white style helped save the show's fake style while homaging the Universal Monster movies.
Exactly right! You hit the nail on the head! Musters were almost like Leave it to Beaver. But with monsters! I'm tired of everyone defending this fake rock star and the crap he produces.
Add category: jokes we told in second grade The original TV series worked because there was no other TV stations, no cable, not DVDs , no streaming. You watched it because television was new. And you developed affection for it. The original Munsters was also heartwarming. It was about a family and the jokes worked to support the plot. Not the other way around like Zombie's version
The Beauty of the Munsters was it was a Family of Monsters, who were actually the normal people. The real Monsters were all the town folk who shunned them for the fact they looked a little scary. That is the Big Big difference with the Munsters and Adams Family.. And what was missed
I think if he just got partner to write the actual narrative and let him take care of the horror/murder/fantasy whatever category the falls in. I think that could be cool
Im under 40 and love the original Munsters, but it only ran 2 seasons so clearly it wasnt super popular even when new; but I really hoped this movie would do it justice. He should have made it an hour and half long Dragula-extended episode
It was pretty popular in its first season and it did better than Adams Family, it did dip a lot ratings (like TV viewership ratings)-wise. But sometimes certain things just got cancelled even with decent ratings unless they were an absolute top show. However, decades of viewed syndication more than make up for its initial popularity, thus it KIND of not mattering as to whether or not a modern one could be successful...a big problem is that it's not as recognizable as The Adams Family, which is a shame since a lot of people who grew up watching The Munsters have said that liked it a better than TAF.
Totally agree. Those are actually some of the strongest entries in the franchise and actually helped course correct things after Seed. Curse is my second favorite entry right behind Bride.
@DisneyFanLover No, I'm not. Halloween Ends is just AWFUL! It makes Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween: Resurrection, RZ Halloween (2007), RZ Halloween 2 (2009) and Halloween Kills (2021) all look good by comparison.
@DisneyFanLover Have we seen the same movie? The amount of disrespect that Michael Myers and Laurie Strode got in Halloween Ends was staggering. RZ Halloween Films don't share any connections with John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981), so I treat them as alternative Versions of those films. Halloween Ends on the other hand doesn't has this excuse because it's the fourth movie in this quadrilogy of John Carpenter's Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills (2021).
I haven't seen this movie, just on the grounds that the trailer made me AFRAID. And not in a GOOD way. 😕 But I will say, your video simply justified my fears about my impressions from the trailer. And after his Halloween 2 movie, I was skeptical that he was the right man for this job. I get that it's supposed to "feel" like the original series, but it seems to have failed that mark, with no effort points earned at the least.🤷♂️
I can't help but think Rob Zombie saw the success of What We Do in the Shadows (the series) and thought that by just emulating some of the color palettes of the show and its promotional materials it would make up for the complete lack of comedy in his film. Zombie wanted the aesthetic to do the work for him instead of actually writing comedy. WWDITS is silly but its also clever, hilarious and has real heart when it wants to. The people behind that show could have definitely found a way to handle this IP and make it work.
If this movie had at least been shot on film/or made to look like film, then that would have been something. The cheap video look makes it look like some godawful afternoon kids show on Nickelodeon. Sheri Moon Zombie cannot act, please Rob, realise this.
42:56 I disagree some top-tier stuff came out in the 60s' I don't think the Standards for entertainment were lower. It's more that censorship was stricter. The Original Addams Family sitcom came out in the 60s' and its hilarious.
I completely agree with this whole genius documentary! You'd think Rob would have ONE fucking friend who would have taken him aside and said, "in all respect, this shit sucks Ole friend!"!
I could have seen her as Harley Quinn in the latest live-action movies with her-well, before the one with Phoenix. She can play psychotic characters pretty well. I wish latest HQ movies explored her background as a shrink.
Jim Carrey gets the free pass with the cliche on the grounds that he can do a decent Clint Eastwood. It's still not funny, don't get me wrong, but at least there's some level of effort and talent there.
I agree with most of the points you make in this video, and I’m not a fan of anything rob zombie does at all, but it’s driving me crazy that you don’t realize that a Shirley Temple isn’t an alcoholic drink, and that’s the (not good) joke.
I really wanted to like this movie, but it just wasn't good. RZ claims he's such a huge fan of the Munsters, yet he didn't capture any essence of it in this film. The only one I liked was Grandpa. You can tell Daniel Roebuck had respect for his character.
I like the look of this movie. It's for kids and the colors reflect that. I also like the character design as it's reflective of the original Munsters movie. The colorful background is a throwback to the Batman tv show and movies like creepshow. He also has some good cinematic ideas. His casting is about 50% and is writing needs to be punched up by someone else. Robs biggest problem is stubbornly wanting to do too much on his own. He's could make a great movie if he could park the ego and collaborate with some other professionals. He still puts on a bad ass rock show...
I agree with everything you said which was hilarious btw. I only disagree the the colors lighting bad animation and phone conversations were pretty cool. Oh yea the count Olaf dating scene was kinda funny minus Lilly of course
Zombie was a big fan of the old Munsters series he wanted to honor the fact that series was family friendly. Zombie deliberately wanted to make the movie extremely family friendly. I think the 90s Addams Family mobies feel closets to being Tim Burton movies in tone and style. Zombie just isnt good at Family friendly entertainment in terms of writing. The movie itself isn't as bad as people online claim it to be its not good but it wasn't the second coming of The Room or something like the internet tried to make it seem. The movie was more or less just a lame made for tv feeling movie. The colors and such was Rob trying to give it a comic book type visual feel for the parts in Transylvania at times it works other times it feels cheap.
i liked his band white zombie ,im not up for his movies or this ,,,i miss his real rock n roll not all his fantasy bull shit i like halloween too everybody does he goes so far it sucks
I 💯% agree with everything you said except for how you talk badly about the original The Munsters (just because it's an older series doesn't mean it wasn't good, only fit within that time period, that it's no longer funny/can't fit into the current entertainment world, and that no one remembers it anymore- I was born in the 1990's decades after the original show came out and I and a lot of other people I know my age love the series and thats on top of all the older generations in my life that grew up with it and still love it... another example is the Three Stooges that came out in the 1930's 80+ years ago and I and many other people still think that's funny too, hell there's books that were written 200+ years ago that people nowadays still love in fact i've even read jokes from the Roman period graffiti that people left that are still funny so age has nothing to do with it if something's good it's good) and I think Daniel Roebuck did a good job the only one who seemed to actually care (also fun fact he knew the original actor who played grandpa and was a huge fan) every single review of this movie i've seen besides yours praises him 🤷🏻♀️ Just my two cents tho other then that good review 😊
It's awesome that both Zombie and this reviewer missed the point of The Munsters. Kind of negates the review completely. Nice review of The Addams Family movies though. 2 stars

Rob Zombie should stop making movies
I think if he just got partner to write the actual narrative and let him take care of the horror/murder/fantasy whatever category the falls in. I think that could be cool
He needs to just disappear and quit doing music too
I agree 100%
Or you can just not watch or think about his stuff
And music 😊
You know Rob Zombie is the last person I think of when I think of the Munsters
He’s into classic camp. This seems about right.
I've liked all of Rob Zombie's movies, but he really shit the bed with The Munsters.
at 5:10... stop dude, you're cracking me up. 🤣😂
But irl Shirley temples are non-alcoholic...
Your WatchMojo impression made me laugh so hard!!! Top notch, dude.

I heard the munaters got a 40 million budget. I believe Rob spent 1 million, maybe 2 or 3, and pocketed the rest. Genious.
it's "genius", genius
@@INFILTR8US you got me...
0:00 You should never be too egotistical to take criticism sometimes the critics can have a point.
Say what you want about the studio, but "Curse of Chucky" and "Cult of Chucky" are great.
Some of the best in the series.
Totally agree. Those are actually some of the strongest entries in the franchise and actually helped course correct things after Seed. Curse is my second favorite entry right behind Bride.
All his movies are pretty bad. Never understood how people like them. His wife is also a terrible actress
Thank you Ryan.!!
This made my day
Daniel Roebuck is the shit. Good actor wasted in this and that horrible Phantasm sequel.
Agreed. He's the best thing about this movie.
(7:51) Rob Zombie's Halloween Movies are still better than the abomination that was Halloween Ends (2022).
You're kidding right?
@DisneyFanLover No, I'm not.

This movies makes super mario bros seem like shawshank redemption
Loved the traverse town music ❤
Honestly I was rooting for this, I love seeing movies and games, music shatter expectations and just turn out really good, but I was wrong.
Rob Zombie's wife is no actress.
I could have seen her as Harley Quinn in the latest live-action movies with her-well, before the one with Phoenix. She can play psychotic characters pretty well. I wish latest HQ movies explored her background as a shrink.

Unpopular opinion, Lords of Salem was his only decent movie

If you support Tim and Eric I see no validity in your opinion.
I hated this movie so much I only played this video to comment how much I hated this movie.
R.Z. and his crew may be good at freaked out horror, but he needs to leave comedy to the experts!!!
They say it's shit because it is, pure ass shit too, 😒
I liked i
Lol, I found it super fun, honestly I've watch it like 4 times since the release.
Are you related to zob zombie? 😆
I love Rob Zombie, I like his music and his style, saw him in concert a lot, seems like a cool dude; but his movies fucking suck.
It's awesome that both Zombie and this reviewer missed the point of The Munsters. Kind of negates the review completely. Nice review of The Addams Family movies though. 2 stars

Damn this was funny
Attempt and failure to be mr. Plinkett. Cannot get past the intro.
More Rob Zombie content please ! That guy stinks, even though I still love house of 1000 corpses
Agreed i want to love his stuff but they are trash. house of 1000 wasnt bad i love it n warched literally last night.
I can make out a lot of #2 but i cant make it make sense, help me and ill give that like lol
I had to dislike this for Family Guy slander.
Ugh hate the Addams family, boooooring
Sure, if you say so.
As soon as I saw the trailer … I knew .. I knew that I will never ever ever see this “movie” 🥸
Kingdom hearts
