Pure Torture!

Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2004)

I cannot believe people can actually defend this piece of garbage (unless they work for the stuidio). I actually love B-movies. I love sci-fi, horror and fantasy. I was not looking for a challenging brain-teaser of a movie, or a dramatic tour de force. I was looking for a reason to get high, kick back, and enjoy a special effects laden, fun movie. And so the nightmare began... First off, the script and acting are both terrible. This comes as no surprise, and I expected nothing more. Second-- the special effects were pathetic! I could create better CGI on my home computer! It was so poorly rendered I found it difficult to believe this was a professional production! (Except for some of the Mr. Hyde scene). So, I have to pin my hopes on some good action and directing. Well, I got neither. There are basically 2 action sequences repeated over and over and over, with I believe 2 pieces of music repeated over and over and over... My god it was so boring! My wife actually had to wake me up saying "Oh no-- you can't make me suffer through this by myself" "But it was you're idea hon-- you're the big Hugh Jackman fan" I wish I had walked out. I really do. There's no payoff, no redemption. It is an endless downward spiral of bad production values, terrible acting, and boredom. OH THE BOREDOM! Most disappointing film EVER!
