Special effects good... story terrible.

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2004)

Not even having great actors like Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale could save the awful story line of this film. It didn't help that Beckinsale's accent was distracting at best. I love classic monster films but I am not a purist in stating that Frankenstein's monster couldn't be pseudo-insightful, but thousands of vampire offspring that look like Spyro flitting around after being empowered by energy harnessed through Frankenstein's monster??? I think they were obsessed with how to get as many monsters into one film as possible and not very worried about how to make an exciting story. I gave it a "3" for the special effects which were decent even by today's standards.
