Bad In Every Respect

Rating: 1/10 (11 October 2008)

The movie delivers nothing at all plain and simple. The characters are truly poorly written, the acting is horrid, the action is barely there, the music sounds like some horrible KMFDM rip off. Lets start off with the characters, wow vampires being euro trash......groundbreaking, werewolves being brutish.......who would of thought? i mean seriously here people the characters in this film were ALL one dimensional, the dialog was wretched and contrived. Now moving on to the acting, this is gonna be rough, there is 1 good actor in the film: Bill Nighy, everyone else is absolutely dreadful, Beckinsale chews scenery like nobody i have ever seen before, though thats nothing new for her, the chemistry between her and speedman is ice cold, not to mention there is no reason for either of them to like each other, they don't warm up to each other or have a change of heart, the dialog is so stilted that it generally feels like these two people have no desire for the project, its obviously just a paycheck for both of them. The Action......well there wasn't much at all so whats to say really, just very boring run of the mill action scenes WHEN they do occur,which isn't often. The music keeps in theme with the vampires being eurotrash, its all synthetic, pulsing garbage to try and inspire angst into the pathetic little goth losers who seem to be in love with this movie, its KMFDM without the point.
Plain and simple folks, this movie is horrid, the sequel is worse, avoid it at ALL costs
