High budget "porn"

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

Yes, this movie reminds me of a porn flick: minimal plot which serves to string one scene into the next. In porn, it is sex scenes; here, it is action sequences.
Suspend disbelief? Sure, but what about acting? What about plot? Direction? This movie is nothing more than a justification to present high cost CGI and implausible action scenes.
On the other hand, given the success of action movies in general, and how much this movie is making at the box office already, I guess that's what people want: not to think, but to be awed by spectacle. If that is the case, then VH is on the mark. Kinda sad, really.
I am a fantasy fan, I love Anne Rice, and loved "Interview with a Vampire", both the book and the film. I was looking forward to this and was hugely disappointed. Good fantasy has depth; this movie doesn't.
Rating? Zero.
