Wow... Just Wow...

I'm not going into the story, as I'm sure most people are familiar with the story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde already, so I'm just gonna go with the technical aspects. The film looked like a film school student's attempt to make a full-length feature. The actors were sub-par, the settings looked fake (I mean come on... a chief of police should have an actual OFFICE, not a CUBICLE!!), the dialog was amazingly horrible (listen to the dialog between Utterson, who is the chick detective, and the chief of police... it is so bad, it's hilarious!) and the special effects were low-quality. Mr. Hyde's make-up looked ridiculous... I think they used 2 wigs for Hyde, as in some scenes it looked black and in other scenes, it looked brown. The ending (which, as I said, I will not divulge)... well... what I will say about the ending is that it didn't tie the story up for me in a neat little package. In fact, the whole story was so jumbled up and it's obvious that the script needed at least one or two more revisions. Overall, it was confusing and it looked cheaply made. However, if you're stuck watching it with your boyfriend because he has to screen it for work, as was my case, it was a lot of fun joking the movie the whole time. But otherwise, I wouldn't pay to see this movie.
