erikredNo spoilers.
A fun ride, almost certainly made with tongue firmly in cheek. At least, I hope so, because we were all killing ourselves laughing at what seemed to be a most purposeful display of Over The Top; it would be terribly sad if this was all meant to be taken seriously.
Evidence for tongue-in-cheek: Kate Beckinsale in a movie with vampires and werewolves; Hugh Jackman with blades a-popping; Robbie Coltrane as a giant; the guy who played Faramir as the Vatican Q; and perennial bad-guy sidekick Kevin J. O'Connor as Igor. Oh, yeah, and the movie was dedicated to the screenwriter/director's dad.
Excellent.
