Cinema goers have one name to fear...

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2004)

Ok, don't get me wrong, I love an expensive overblown Hollywood blockbuster when the time is right but this just isn't funny. What a waste! Hugh Jackman should be a huge star by now considering how he was plucked from near obscurity to be in the "X-Men" films, especially as he went on to steal them from under the noses of far more experienced actors. And when I think about the fact that Stephen Sommers career started out so wonderfully with the near genius film "Deep Rising" ("What are you looking at?") and has gone downhill so much I almost cry. I have to say, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm in love with Kate Beckinsale I would've walked out of this film... and I've never walked out of a film in my life. And I go to the cinema about 60 times a year; so there! Just to rant a bit more: I bet this film gets better reviews and better receipts than last year's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" even though it borrows heavily from it and has half the wit of that film. OK, rant over. I'm just a bit drunk but really more than a bit disappointed. Kate Beckinsale is fantastic though isn't she..?
