ladyjanellyNon-spoiler review.
Okay. So. This is the worst movie I think I've ever seen. The Ackles boys did a great job and some of the other actors weren't bad. Jensen was in every scene except one, and that almost made it worse, because I couldn't fast-forward. Couldn't look away. He was all there being beautiful in the middle of this plotless wonder of a film.
I'd heard that there were script changes mid-production and it shows. Bad. Kendra and I are still asking each other "So why was that person there?" and "If and then and why what??"
And there were times in the movie when it's just Jensen looking at the camera for like 3 seconds at a time. Like they just kept filming and somebody should have trimmed that part out.
So bad.
If I ever watch it again it'll just be to screencap the pretty. And my god was he pretty in that. And bloody. And single emo tear.

That movie makes me feel embarrassed for Jensen and I have little sympathy for actors who make lots of money doing crap movies. So, uh, that says a lot.

Date: 2008-04-14 02:27 pm (UTC)My husband is a stage actor and he is currently in a production where the cast is too large, the director is crazy (he's very creative, but keeps adding changes at the last minute); the stage manager was just hired -- in short, the show is a mess, but my husband is just there to do his job! It takes a whole lot of people all making the right choices to make a good product.
A girl who is doing hi def reviews points out how many flaws you can see in Hell House the SPN episode -- so there was a bad editor at work. Still, I don't mind!
