I got a Maleficent vibe off of that footage, so I guess I'll just watch that again when I get the chance (I'm not sure if it's on DVD yet).
Also, that insult coyly cut from the video, nice. But seeing as you (seemed to) like The Conjuring and I was kinda indifferent towards it my opinion may be much different.

I don't see how PG-13 is inexplicable; it allows more access and revenue rather than R-rated films most teenagers (probably the target demographic) could get into.
So, it's good but not great.
How so? PG-13 movies have been some of the more violent and/or actiony movies in recent times. So there is no vilgar language and sex, meh I can do without those.gphjr14 said:
"Bat-man Begins" is probably the funniest thing I've heard all day. Suppose I should get out of bed and grab breakfast now.
Am I the only one who thinks the Female Ghostbusters logo actually looks anti-female, what with the slash in the circle and everything? Could just be me being weird.

How many years ago would this have needed to be released to be considered innovative or impressive visually?
Also, do you think the director's cut, or non-rated version that will be released once this is out of theaters has a chance to be significantly better?

I think this movie could have had the chops if a minor but very important change was made. See, what bothers me is this:Vlad the Impaler was already a vicious, blood-thirsty killer; this aspect of the historical figure was not explored and expanded.
In the movie they made Vlad into a monster because he turned into a vampire. It would have been infinitely more interesting to see him turn into a vampire because he already was a monster to begin with. That he tried to save his land is an irrelevant setting, the character-driven narrative of my scenario is more interesting to me.
After all, one does not need to be a "monster" to be a monster.

I agree. It was nice to see a vampire actually kicking ass for once on the big screen.Chaos999 said:
Did anyone else sit through the credits wondering if there was some kind of stinger in the extra seconds, only to see a whole bunch of black space?
Anyway, yeah, this sounds a bit of a nothing. But I'm interested in the amount of love being given generally to the premise of Tomorrowland, which sounds like Disney masturbation of the highest order to me - only Brad Bird's presence makes me willing to even consider that this might be watchable.
That last caption at the end of Meet The Robinsons had me and my family retching into our popcorn buckets, and this sounds like a whole movie's worth.

Anyone else get a sort of Dynasty Warriors vibe off that scene at the beginning of the vid where Vlad was killing off hordes of mooks?
Anyone else now want to see a "Universal Studios Monsters/Dynasty Warriors" game now become a thing?

As a Dynasty Warriors fan, I'd be major-league down for that. It could be really spectacular. Of course, I really liked the film Van Helsing as well, so my opinion is perhaps not the best one to go with...GamemasterAnthony said:
OT: Looks like it'd be worth the $3.50 at the local cheap theater. I'm not big on vampires, but this film could have some fun to it.
The ticking clock contrivance and sympathetic characterization of the guy we already know will become supremely evil kills the premise for me, which is a shame because I didn't completely hate the idea when I first heard it and I don't even mind a PG-13 since hyper violence and gore doesn't really do it for me anyway.
