a waste of a night

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2007)

I was one of those unwitting fools who went to see this on Friday (4th) morning at 12:30am. I'm a fan, loved the first two movies and had been waiting for this one for quite a while. Now I know why all of the cast and crew are bailing out like rats on a sinking ship. It was quite possibly the worst movie since "New World". Bruce Campbell's part is great, I'll give them that and some of the unintended comedy is worth a giggle here or there but that's in.
Special Effects?? wow, those were horrible, I saw objects moving through people, not just random background people but ones right in the foreground. There was no attention to detail.
Fight Scenes?? I've seen other's comments on this and would have to agree. They're uncoordinated and too short to be likable. Where did Venom go for like 5 (movie) minutes during the major fight scene? Was it just me or was the final battle a massive anti-climax? Was anyone else half expecting by that point for Parker to propose to MJ right there over Harry's dead body? Venom?? This is a major reason many people were all amped for this movie. Hey, I wanted to see it too. Unfortunately, they redefined Vemon as a pansy. Fortunatly, he only gets about a minute or two of screen time so. . . yea, way to hype that one Sony.
At the showing I was at, remember this is the first available public show one could POSSIBLY see in San Francisco so it was filled with only those who REALLY wanted to go, and people were booing and heckling. Not a SINGLE person I know who's seen this movie liked it. Not a single person I know who's seen this movie has thought it was even passable. I do not know where all of these positive reviews are coming from other than possibly Sony and crew.
