The Munsters is phony and lame. Its narrative pointlessly sets up the original show's more interesting premise. Characters are stagnant tropes, world-building is nonsense, developments are disjointed filler, humor is completely stale, acting is strained, and the entire journey is annoying. There is nothing to connect with because no thought was put into the comedy, plot, or emotions. Thus, viewers will automatically disengage. Plus, the sequence of events is arbitrary. Things happen without purpose, and there's no climax to build towards or resolve from. Anyone who actually sits through The Munsters will spend most of its runtime waiting for the end.
Technically, The Munsters is inept. Its nauseating visuals use neon lighting, abstract backgrounds, movement, and angles in unmotivated excess. The editing employs dissolves, wipes, split-screens, and montages, but the pacing is nonexistent and the cohesion is fragmented. The sound is roughly mixed, making its stings stick out like goofy misfires. The music is awkward and generic. The cheap production design is cluttered yet hollow. The effects are embarrassingly unconvincing, despite the diversity of makeup, prosthetics, CGI, and animation. Overall, techniques are utilized, but execution is incorrect, sloppy, and aimless. Rob Zombie is a veteran, but The Munsters is amateur.
