A total mess!!! Did they make this up as they went along??

Rating: 1/10 (15 October 2005)

I really do wish there was a zero in the drop down list! Giving this mess of a movie a one is far to generous.
I enjoyed both the mummy movies for what the were; action packed fun with a small plot that was enough to keep the movie going. However, Sommers latest 'homage' to the old monster movie classics is a mess that I don't think even Rubix could figure out.
Way over the top and corny acting from Roxburgh who plays Dracula, three screaming murderous vampire/harpy brides of Dracula who are just plain annoying and horrible cgi that is way over used is just the beginning in a long list of why this film is so bad.
Did anyone actually read the script before they began shooting or did they just make it up as they went along??? The one interesting plot twist, that Van Helsing is somehow connected to Dracula becoming a vampire 400 years before, is NEVER fully explained! I sincerely hope this does NOT mean a sequel is on its way.
Well, I could say more about the bad acting, lack of any real story, overuse of the great music to push the boring scenes along, etc... but I won't. Just suffice to say if you do see this film, make sure you are not expecting ANYTHING out of it. It really is that bad.
