is the custom: the week of theatrical release of a Hollywood blockbuster, poor television viewers are bombarded with sadistic films of the same or, if it is a saga, previous deliveries. It always happens and will continue to happen for years. It is therefore not surprising that, having been released this week New Moon, we could "enjoy" these days on our screens its prequel Twilight and other film remotely related to the overall theme of these as Van Helsing.
Having seen both half, but the second I went to see it in your day to the movies, I could realize the little pity that its creators have had to destroy and desecrate classical mythology vampire. Nor is it something that bothers me too much, because I'm not exactly a fan of the genre, but it makes me think longingly of what has been in movies like Dracula of Coppola.
In the first case, we must recognize that the damage had been done in the book which is based the movie version of Twilight . But seeing half the movie is not hard to realize that this is a shit with a capital (and pardon the expression, but today I feel inspired). The film's certainly better than the scenery, because history does not offer too attractive, especially to the public not female or adolescent, and special effects provoke laughter and tears in equal measure. With poor performances and a script absurd, you never just see the purpose of his argument. As I said, all the classic vampire fiction is shattered by presenting a vampiros que, a pesar de sus cientos de años, van a la moda y acuden al instituto año tras año. Además, no consumen sangre humana sino animal por su conciencia pacifista, algo bastante más fantasioso que lo que planteaba la serie Blade . El colmo llega cuando se desvela el motivo por el que no se exponen al sol: no se trata de alergia, resulta que tienen la piel recubierta de una especie de purpurina dorada bastante mal lograda, que sólo se ve con luz solar, y que les hace recordar lo que son y que sean reconocidos como no humanos.
En cuanto a Van Helsing , es inevitable think his argument is raised as a joke, pure and simple. Here are a potpourri of myths foully disgraced: an effeminate and dull Count Dracula, werewolves, flying harpies, a Frankenstein monster with a square head and screws, all disheveled and without any logic, spiced with the presence of secondary stupid all kinds of cutting apparatus steampunk (automatic crossbows, shotguns and other equipment more suited to Batman or Professor Gadget). And to top it off, ending with a nonsense size of the sillier end of the decade, those with clouds shaped faces.
Finally, one can only hope the next superestreno to see what subject ... touches smash betting allowed.
