Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2004)

This movie was ok, but very overated. I waited for about 6 months to see this movie and was very dissapointed. From the previews, reviews, and hype I thought this was going to be classic. 1st of all there were too many unecessary special effects. Dracula couldnt ever have a regular conversation without climbing up the wall or causing explosions with his power, this got really annoying quick. Another thing was the story was so predictable, a 5 year old could figure it out. As soom as they found Frankenstein you knew what was going to happen and after this you're just waiting for the movie to end. They had all the right tools to make this a great movie but blew it. All they had to do was spend a little more emphasis on the plot. Then they could have eased back on the special effects. You dont have to have a big special effects scene every 15 seconds. Dracula and his wives didnt have to show their vampire teeth in every conversation they had. The teeth they had werent even planted they were computer generated. These things are repetitive thoughout the movie and this is what hurt it. What a waste, could have been something special.
