While it is true that this film is a lot like the book, it just does not make cinematic sense( or any other sort of sense either. It is painful to watch. The creature is just not that ugly. ve seen people look worse after a weekend bender. WHY exactly does everyone fear him as though he was shedding his skin? And the genius Viktor is so totally stupid that he just can't help pissing off the murderous creature and then putting his loved ones conveniently in its path and running off somewhere so that it can have an easy uninterrupted go of it. The creature isn't that convincing. Its only real argument is that it had to kill people no matter how harmless because he was angry at other people. It never explains just why it never harmed anyone that actually mocked it, just people that did absolutely nothing to it whatsoever. The most silly part is where Viktor runs after a beggar(even though the beggar is half of the creatures size and obviously human)can conveniently walk through a door and kill her without breaking a sweat. It is also inexplicable why Viktor could simply make sure that the creatures mate was unable to reproduce instead of torching her in front of the monster. Its rather predictable what would happen next. Viktor even conveniently screams NOOOOOOOOOO instead of shooting at it so that it could run away and seek vengeance. Please do not watch without a barf bag handy.

I notice that most people commenting got into this fun, light hearted, enjoyable movie. The movie is a blatant homage to shows like Indiana Jones, and the spear of destiny does look like it came out of a Happy meal. But that just adds to the fun. The special effects are quite good, and the research into various mythology is quite impressive. Its such a pleasure to finally find a show that doesn't deal with dark unhappy subject matter. You actually feel good after watching this film. Whoever made it should be proud. I advise everyone to see this movie. Unless you just can't let go and have some fun. Its easy to tell. If you are sitting there thinking "Librarians don't go on magical adventures!" Then you are not going to like this film. But Ill tell you this; This film is about as realistic as most cop shows out there. CSI isn't really how investigations re run either.

Because the story is compelling, and they kept the dialog almost exactly the same as its predecessor, the whole thing wasn't too painful to watch. It got bad when Kiera Knightly with her wimpy demeanor and little girl lost voice spoke. Elizabeth Bennet went from spunky to bratty. Her ideals went from wanting to help her family but being unwilling to compromise her heart to simply not wanting to do what anyone said like a little two year old. I kept expecting her to pout and throw her peas at Mr Darcy, whose name escapes me. He was OK. Donald Sutherland seemed more like he was one of the three musketeers. In fact all the costumes were a bit off and very lavish instead of the rather plain white empire waisted dresses typical of the time. I can see little girls, middle aged ladies, and anyone that spends a good deal of time at the shopping mall enjoying this movie.
