Ultraviolet

Well... that movie was... decidedly uninspired. I realize that they were going for a comic book like style, however, the cg was terrible, the dialogue was uninspired, the plot was hastily thrown together and poorly explored. Yes the main character is hotter then seems possible and I adored watching her in varying shades of tight leather outfits, but I expected better acting from Ms. Jovovich and she neither achieved my belief that she should be that badass or ever melted enough to catch my heart. Additionally, moments that should have made me gasp some appreciative explitive instead left me giggling at the silliness of the delivery. Such as hear no evil see no evil speak no evil trio and the dreadlocks of death scene. And yes though the fire sword scene was neato to say the least, it was practically impossible to fathom why the swords lit on fire in the first place. Though flaming cuts, hot without the obvious pun as well as instant cauterizing! All around disappointed.... It felt very thrown together. It's a shame too, had the potential to be a female version of Sin City.

Ah well...
Huggles!

From what I have seen in the previews it looks like the story line was really similar to the Chralize Theron movie that came out earlier in the winter. Like it was another studio's answer to it. I read a review today for "V for Vendetta" and it had basically the same problems Ultraviolet seems to have.

Darn! I was looking forward to that one too... Phfft. I will probably wait to see it on video then.

However, Libertine was revolutionary in its style, acting, and delivery. Definitely blows everything else out of the water!
