Will I watch it again? Nope.
I've never played the video game this is based on but I can only hope it's more fun and exciting than this. And I never thought I'd live to see the day where I would say that Christian Slater is the best thing this picture has going for it. I kind of liked him. Hell, I felt sorry for the guy that he was even in it. I'm not going to join the bashing bandwagon this picture has garnered because it's not THAT bad, but it is uninteresting. I can't even think of what it was that made it so unmemorable. Some of the dialogue was poorly written and delivered (I'm looking at you, Tara Reid, but you're not the only one so don't get all pissed at me for point only you out. Hell, I'm jealous that you're even in a bad movie 'cause I haven't been in a single one). I guess I just wasn't interested. The characters didn't pull me in and the story sure didn't. It's just a middle of the road horror picture that's neither here nor there. Blah.
