Good Movie If You Keep Your Expectations In Line

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2004)

First off, if you go to this movie thinking you are going to see a classic you are wrong. But with that said, this movie was enjoyable, even with all the CGI (the Jekyll and Hyde CGI was the worst). Hugh Jackman does a good job as the title character, Kate Beckingsale is obviously gorgeous and adds some very welcome aspects. What I really like about this movie is the fact that all of the monster's stories are woven together in a way I have never seen before. Even though some people here say there is no character development, there is some. There are some things I could have done without, especially in the last 10 minutes or so but I won't spoil it for anybody here. I suggest that anyone who wants to see a decent move that is pure escapism - go see this. One last note, I have NEVER agreed with Roger Ebert but I love that he gave this movie a thumbs up.
