I just found everything about it repulsive. And generally speaking, I
like vampire movies. (NO NOT "TWILIGHT.") And I will usually cut a sci-fi fantasy type film way more slack on some things that I would require more of from, say, a drama or romantic comedy.
But at some point early on I leaned over to my then boyfriend and said, "I'm giving this movie five more minutes, then I'm outta here."
Five minutes later, I was outta there.
*shrugs*
On the other hand, the same "then boyfriend" went with me to see the re-release of the first Star Wars movie (he had never seen any of them - don't ask me how, because he said it wasn't because he made a point of avoiding them). After it was over he got up and said "Oh well I guess that's what
some people consider a good movie."
So, it's all subjective. My brother-in-law thinks Van Helsing is Teh Awesome and loves it so much he bought a copy so he could watch it whenever he felt like it. I saw it in the theater with another Jackman/Wolverine fan who's a close friend and the most we got out of it was a few laughs at how bad it was.
