maybe it depends on your expectations ...
i had expected it to be cheesy and cheap ... expected to dislike it in fact, like other movies where you throw in 5-6 characters from different books and hope this will be enough to satisfy the viewers (that extraordinary gentleman thing for example) and yes, it was cheesy, cheesy enough so i couldn't take it seriously. and funny and that saves the movie it is not serious, it doesn't take anything serious, not even itself so i found it a hilarious comedy with quite a lot unexpectedly original elements and maybe even touching some fundamental questions ... (frankensteins monsters question about what makes you a monster for example) the text lines made me laugh all the time as did the (quite well acted) image of Dracula as a good husband, trying to satisfy the wishes of his brides i liked the images, yes the CGI included think this included one of the quite well done werewolves (and several good werewolf jokes :) ), liked Dracula's battle form, liked the combination of quite well done dark images with constant jokes :) there is also a lot of action i would hate in an other movie ... and it's OK here, for i don't take it serious, i find it quite funny in fact :)
