If you're expecting a deep, thought-provoking movie-going experience, stay home, cause this ain't it.

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

That said, it's still a good movie. You just have to go in with your expectations low enough. Me, I just wanted it to be better than LXG. And it certainly succeeded there. Admittedly, there were some rather large plot holes (e.g. how, exactly, do you have two different full moons within the span of a few days?). But these don't disturb the overall flow (such as it is). The characters are engaging. I'll see anything for Hugh Jackman anyway. Kate Beckinsale has really proven herself as an action heroine (she can now be forgiven for "Pearl Harbor"). Richard Roxburgh plays a campy, but very Lugosi, Dracula. And all the supporting characters do an excellent job as well (the Brides, Carl, Frankenstein's Monster, etc.) Even the effects weren't too bad, and they're a tremendous improvement over "The Scorpion King," so Sommers should be congratulated. Bottom line . . . don't expect too much, just go an be entertained. After all, it's only a movie. (8/10)
