First of all, let me say that cheap sex shots and Kate Beckinsale in leather is not enough to get me to enjoy a movie. Frankly, I was embarrassed to watch anything as childish as that in a film that is supposed to be so classy.
So, if you are a fan of the series then you will probably not like me a great deal when you finish reading. I went into the first movie with the hopes that I would see a first class Vampire/Werewolf film. With the exception of the wirework and most of the stunts the first one was so-so.
And if it were not for the special effects here, the second one would not even make it that high on the list.
You know, I just can't seem to do it. I have set since Friday trying to come up with a way to make this stinker sound good and I just can't seem to do it.
And I wanted to, really. I thought about it all day yesterday but outside of some good special effects this thing is a massive waste of time.
It makes Van Helsing look like Gone With the Wind or something like that. Come on, Hollywood. Is this the best you can do?
Look viewers, if all you want is some fake sex and leather clad girls, there are places on the Internet where you can get that for free. Don't waste your time watching this. Go rent Evil Dead. Heck, go rent Dead Alive or even Night of the Living Dead. At least these were Good films.
Yes, the action scenes were bigger. This does not equal better. The camera work and afore mentioned effects were good, especially the scene with the winged vampire king chasing the truck. But, you know even that scene seems familiar.
Face it. If you are still going to this turkey, it is because you probably enjoyed the original and want more. More fights between vampire and werewolves, blood and Kate in leather or less. This film will be perfect for you.
Go. Have fun. And when you are ready for a film about Werewolves that is actually good, check out Wolfen or American Werewolf in London. Or just about any of Paul Naschy's Werewolf movies. Crist, even I was a Teenage Werewolf is better then this.
