No good...

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2004)

I went to this film expecting some really cool and atmospheric vampire slaying action; though I did expect not a masterpiece at all, I was badly disappointed.
Actually, I'm not quite sure if this movie is meant to make fun of itself or not, for there are many scenes with obvious jokes (which are basicly very flat) but as the scene continues I often believed it to be meant serious, but this was the actual fun part, because all scenes are so overloaded with computer generated effects, bad acting, flat jokes, "fortuities", prejudices and sterotypes (mixed all fantasy myth stereotypes in a very postmodern way (e.g. Dracula, Werewolves, Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein)) that it caused almost a physical pain in me by merely watching those scenes.
During the whole movie there was no suspense created at all, the happy end was foreseeable all the time. Especially the last scene was badly overdone and tawdry.
This is not the kind of vampire movie I like (and I do like vampire movies). If you have a certain pretence to a movie, don't pay for seeing this one. If you are drunk and want to have some fun, it'd probably be ok. I really kind of despise this film.
