Another CG film with no substance

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2004)

I knew what to expect going into this film and I could still barely stand to watch it. They should have spent some of the CG budget on a decent script. The lack of any intelligent dialog or character development leads me to wonder if the producers of this film think that special effects are all that is needed to make a film these days. Someone needs to put a stop to these mindless comic book/superhero movies. I don't ask a lot from movies, just that they are somewhat entertaining or have some sort of emotional impact so that I can become interested in the characters. This film offers neither. The CG graphics/stunts are so unrealistic that no one could possible be scared of any of the bad guys (including Hugh and Kate in the movie). In fact the good guys seem to be as strong as the bad guys in this movie, taking as much if not more physical abuse and coming out of it with barely a scratch. The only dialog in the movie is a few one liners to try and make the audience laugh (is this supposed to be horror or comedy?). I could sit and pick this movie apart all day, but I won't waste your time and neither should you. My advice is stop giving these CG movies the benefit of the doubt by watching them like I've been doing. Maybe if we all stop going to see them, the studios will start making some improvements!!
