Well just got back from watching this movie this avo and I was really looking forward to it, being a big fan of the comic book based movies.
Hugh Jackman seemed to play the role well, and Kate Beckinsale was absolutely gorgeous in it (grrrrr), but personally I think i'm getting bored of seeing CGI monsters in movies now and think they quite often just look daft and this movie went a bit overboard on CGI tbh. I'd like a return to SFX guys working their arse off to create realistic looking monsters there were too many parts in this movie where I was just left under-awed by the CGI.
The story is harmless enough, I wont spoil it, but I guess you already know it's gonna be about our man Van against the beasties, I didn't have a problem with that,. What I did have a problem with was the dreadfull script, it's dire, there must only be about 30 mins of actuall dialogue in the entire movie, the rest of it is just silly CGI monsters and swinging around. Quite often i felt myself saying "oh dear me" when certain silly lines in the script appeared.
It's a real shame as they could have done a real real good job of this title, but instead i'm left thinking it was wasted, literally the best thing about it is the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale in a basque all the wya through the movie
Even die-hard comic book fans will find it hard to give this anything more than 7/10
