I’ll hold off on commenting fully on this movie until it comes around on my rewatch, but I personally love it. The film is all about escalation...it starts out as one movie and slowly, ever so slowly, ramps up the insanity. What keeps it all from going over the edge is Drax, who’s detached boredom at the craziness going around him keeps the film strangely grounded and gives it a sense of being ‘in on the joke’. If you roll with it and embrace the ridiculous, this film is one hell of an enjoyable romp.
