action makes up for the poorly done script...

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2003)

I don't know why reviews were squashing this movie. Mabye because it was about vampires again! Perhaps because it was a perfect mixture of the Matrix and Blade II. Whatever it was, I don't care. I thought the movie was fun and quite enjoyable to watch. It had some good actors, a good plot, and a TON of ACTION.
To me, a movie doesn't have to be all story. They basically got the story in about a total of twenty minutes so what to do about the other one hour and forty-one minutes left? ACTION! Why not amaze the audience with some horror, gore and fun? The warewolves changing were very new and different from the old changes. The effects were great and the actors worked well with it. Kate Beckinsale did a fine, not great job playing Selene. She wore the leather well and spoke the lines perfectly. The other actors did fine too but MY GOD; what was with Shane Brolly's (Kraven's) role! I think he just, well....sucked. He did a terrible job and I believe he could have been replaced. It would have made the movie better. One bad actor can screw up a whole movie. Besides that, the acting was great.
In the reviews, they talked up how rediculous the romance was between Selene and Michael. Only one problem with that, there wasn't any! They shared one meaningless kiss and then they went back to the beautiful ACTION.
So bottom line, if you don't like vampires, darkness, The Matrix, or ACTION-don't see this.
