The film looks great and the fighting nice and bloody but director Marcus Nispel proves once more he doesn't have much of a talent for actual story telling. Meanwhile co-stars Ron Perlman and to a lesser extent Rose McGowan and Stephen Lang - as a pair of generic cliched villains - are wasted.
A decent spectacle to watch but almost instantly forgettable. |
I watched this update/reimagining whatever you wish to call it in the early hours of a sleep deprived night. I enjoyed it for what it was, very easy entertainment that didn't require my brain. That said as you say Dem it's immediately forgettable and I've never had any great urge to watch it again.
