Man's Genesis review
25 June 2020
Griffith takes his stock company back to prehistoric times for this tale of the invention of the first weapon. It's essentially the same story he had told countless times before, but as it involves silent cavemen there's little opportunity for any kind of character development. The Godawful online print (which runs only 11 minutes) makes it impossible to make out much detail, but it all looks vaguely - and unintentionally - hilarious, particularly when Bruteforce keeps coming back for more every time he's clonked over the head by Weakhand's new toy (and I can't help thinking Weakhands has created a rod for his own back there...)
