What's with those accents?

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2004)

Oh brother...being a huge fan through my entire life of vampire and monster flicks I had to catch this one and I have to say it was kinda entertaining, although not that well carried out.
THIS I have to say, though - HORRIBLE ACTING! Kate Beckinsale, gorgeous as she may be, should really take acting lessons! Hugh Jackman is just doing his usual "I wanna be Clint Eastwood" routine...and those accents - it is SO getting at my nerves that they both make up some phony accent but doesn't even have the common decency to stick to it. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to brush his accent away in his recent movies, these two "actors" are having a quite hard time remembering to USE their phony accents all the time - not very believable when ordinary American accents (Jackman) or English accents (Beckinsale) slips through...very amateurish indeed!
Still an entertaining movie though, but many things does that this is just average in the end..
5/10
