Not Bad

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2004)

Some nice tributes to the old films. Thought Dracula was way too campy even for this.CGI intensive and a few spring out shocks. I liked movies when people did stunts. Although the CGI effects just keep getting better and better when you watch an older movie it was so much more tense when you knew it was an actual person doing the stunt. I'd like them to do a Wolfman movie with a more serious take on it as the opening Wolfman capture was quite exciting. I guess this was okay for todays 13 year-olds, probably even 10 year olds. By the end I was tired of so many fantastic jumping and flying tricks. Are there really that many people who get off on this phony looking stuff? But it was entertaining and I like Hugh Jackman and I just want Kate Beckinsale very badly. She has the power to cloud my mind and make me loose all reason. Dear Kate, if you should read this and should your new husband "disappear from the top of the wedding cake" please be in touch. I'm older and not rich or good looking but wouldn't that be a refreshing change of pace?
