spectacular new look for the same old formula

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2002)

Sure, a stunning fx breakthrough, but is the rest of it even watchable? It's like a porno with stars; either turn off the sound or fast-forward to the good bits. And even the fx became an instant industry joke, like film noir voice-overs. Any coincidence that our guilty pleasures turn out the be the best parody material?
