worst movie I've seen in a long time

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

What a disappointment ... My high expectations for this latest Hugh Jackman film have been dashed. I think the director could not decide what to do with this subject. It started out campy, progressed into cartoon-like overdone special effects, and tried to throw in romance along the way. It failed on all levels. The characters are cardboard cutouts, unbelievable as action heroes, and uninteresting. Did anyone else think that the characters of the Transylvanian siblings were straight out of a soap opera? I think I gave The Mummy too much credit, and as a result was lured into watching this horror (and I don't mean that in a good way). I will remain a fan of Jackman's, but certainly not director Sommers, and ditto for Beckinsale.
