A big pile

Rating: 3/10 (10 May 2004)

Spoilers within... Normally I'll vote on a file, but rarely will I enter a comment, but this one has earned it. Where to start! ok, I like a good action flick as much as the next guy, but the sheer number of plot holes just made the whole picture unenjoyable. Why are so many villagers in the village with their shovels, rakes (and implements of destruction), sickles, etc. and not out in the fields? Why can't a vampire that can pick up and hurl a cow, but when a second person jumps on the legs of the first person being picked up it's 'too heavy' and they let go. Holy water sure is potent! a few drops is enough to kill a vampire (hadn't been one kilt in a hunndered years!) Why does the basin exist? If I was Dracula, I wouldn't allow holy ground/church to exist. It just goes on and on like that. I must have missed how Van Helsing was alive after so many years, I never did see much to explain that. Why can a werewolf kill Dracula and noting else can? Why can a woman take multiple falls and poundings be killed by the only bit of comfy furniture in Drac's lab(?) I think it was a particularly vicious divan. The only redeeming element in the script was the idea of drac's children and the Frankenstein 'process' tied together. Hugh Jackman tries, but we don't get enough about his character. Kate is fine, in more ways than one. The Friar and Igor were the two best characters in the movie. Drac was....a bit overdone, but I blame S.S. for that 2 out of 10.
