Over done special effects.

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2004)

Why do movies think they need to over do the special effects? They really make movies like this cheesy and cartoonish. Cant they make real sets anymore?! Also what is with the fact that no one got hurt in this movie? it seemed that Van Helsing and his girl friend got the crap kicked out of them but they didnt have a scratch on their body. Movies like the mummy used CGI to enhance the movie, this movie used CGI to make everything, including some of the actors! When CGI is seemless like in LOTR or is like modern art like in Shrek or Finding Nemo, i have no problem with it. But when they are to lazy to build a set or they want something to be OUT OF CONTROL, it just looks silly. COME ON GUYS use it as a tool, not as a template!
