Man I was thrilled for this one when I saw the trailer for the first time. Karl Urban looked like the finest, meanest and the coolest nemesis but I was duped when I actually saw the movie. Paul Bettany, famous for his lovely speech-acting had only a few things to say in the flick while Cam Gigandet was 'all words and no action'. Maggie Q provided with few great action moves but eventually when I needed a climax in the movie there was none. The story wasn't well woven....The action scenes were limited unlike what the trailer suggested.
87 min flick, I thought it would have its twists and turns but I was deceived by the trailer big time. The movie finished in a jiffy albeit indicative of the next part but that hardly mattered as they failed to deliver the MOJO in this one. It could have been much much better if only it wasn't directed by Scott Charles Stewart. I know the guy worked wonders in the visual effects department but didn't his earlier venture include Legion ??? What can I say !!! I wanted it to be like Van
Helsing, if only Richard Roxburgh was given the role of The Hat, I kept on saying, but alas the director had the strings in his hands. The screenplay was already set. Poor editing as well I must say when they couldn't manifest the quintessential part of the flick, they could have come up with a psychotic twist in the end, the trio could've fought with an entire army of vampires ... or something like that....or
anything like that !!! It was all lame bro... I was left with a sour taste eventually !!!
