Over blown tosh

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2004)

Only going to mention a few of the reasons the movie lost me. 1 After the failure of league of extraordinary gentleman why bother using another failed Jekyl/Hyde CGI disaster. Did not add anything. 2 Why add more rope swinging than a Tarzan movie. 3 Why waste the fantastic sex appeal of both the leading characters. Costume design one high point of the whole thing. Such a shame as you could see the care in the opening that it led to overblown shots that wasted the truely sinister nature of vampires and their blood sucking biology. I am truly upset and angry about this movie. A big CGI budget should be used sparingly. The Mummy let you marvel at flesh eating scarabs and sinister sandstorms but here the effects just bored. Remember less is sometimes so much more.
