The best comic book movie in years

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 1998)

Although Wesley's acting isn't exceptional, the visual effects in this film are reason enough to go see it. The imagery is incredible, and is backed up by a strong performance by Stephen Dorff as the vampiric villain. The film went overboard a bit in the pure gross-out scenes, almost to the point of silliness, but otherwise maintained it's dark, gothic mood. It's the best comic book inspired movie I've seen in years, and a great action picture all around.
