I compare Secret of the Ooze to, say, season 10 or 11 of The Simpsons. The writing and tone have been fatally wounded but the likable characters just barely manage to deliver a good time. The nostalgia doesn’t hurt but I like the movie more than I should considering how much of a downgrade it is.

I guess visually it also still looks pretty good compared to most modern spectacle movies. Again, a downgrade from the first movie in terms of lighting and atmosphere but
at least everything looks tangible and real. It’s a world I can just hang out in, not a plastic looking assault on the eyes.
