Oh. My. God. !.

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2004)

What in the name of all that is sacred was that about? The company is only interested in getting a bigger audience(reducing the certificate, hence depriving us of what could have been a decent, if certainly not great monster movie), Stephen Sommers - he made Stargate, didn't he?, Hugh Jackman wants to be the next Bond so badly he obviously couldn't wait, Kate Beckinsale should start acting at some point in her life (what with Pearl Harbour, Underworld and now this), Richard Roxburgh tries too hard ... and I could go on. Apart from that, all the questions brought up by the screenplay are left unanswered (I won't reveal anything), the dialogue is plain awful, and to be honest the whole premise in which the movie is based is preposterous - I can't believe the Vatican hasn't reacted. As for the special effects, I seem to be the only one that noticed the blue screen pretty much throughout the whole movie. And, what's with the music? Could be the most irritating score in (and for)a long time - certainly not what I expected from Alan Silvestri. I tried to sleep through it, and I couldn't, so I decided to wait and see if something good would come (it does, without revealing anything, it's the wolf man transformation), then I tried to get my money back, but working in a cinema myself, I never paid in the first place, so now I am aiming to sue all the parts involved for emotional distress. The worst movie in history? Surely not. But pretty close, nonetheless.
