It was OK, I liked it, but it was a bit convenient....

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2004)

I liked the movie, but mostly for the costumes and the special effects.
I'm a huge Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale fan, so went to see them. Anything with Hugh in it, I'm going to like it. It's just that simple. And I gotta say it, it's getting that way with Kate. She's a terrific actress, and I really like her.
I loved the special effects and the costumes, but the plot line was very convenient, and there just didn't seem to be much there. My daughter hated the movie. Hated it.
I'd still like to own the DVD though, but will probably wait until it's in Hollywood Video's Previously Viewed pile. I'm sure the cast, once they saw the completed film, as it was released, probably felt the same about it. Which is too bad. Seems like someone had a great idea, but maybe all the good parts were left on the cutting room's floor.
Seem's like it was made for the much younger audience -- 10-12 yr olds, not an adult audience. With all those vampires, where was the blood????
