Great Fun!

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2004)

No need to say it's a kids movie. It's been said. No need to say there's plenty of SGI. It's been said. What they don't like saying is that it's actually a very good movie and serves its purpose. And its cast is very cleverly chosen. Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh are excellent leads and
their film mates are just as good. My mention goes to the brides, who deliver the most interesting performances . Not much to say about Marishka(Maran), who is killed at the beginning of the
movie.Gorgeous, i'd say! Aleera (Anaya) gives a psycho like performance. You could make a whole
movie out of those eyes! Verona (Colloca), the queen bride, could come from a Bela Lugosi movie, she
is right there, she is the dark, Gothic, sad vampire you feel sorry for when she's killed.
very interesting choices from Steve sommers who proves to be a very smart film director.
