As insane as that film was, it at least meant he stayed around long enough for us to see him in Highlander and Red October along with Indianna Jones.<br /><br />To answer your other points though, in all honesty I think it was actively trying to be far more of a superhero film in every way. The vampire aspect seemed to primarily be to give her more powers for battle scenes but little else, and the film was driven far more by its action scenes than the comic's character development and establishment. It's really unfortunate, but it's sadly the way things were back then, back when the genre was still recovering from Batman & Robin and trying to offer enough action while being taken seriously.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-33355973247524241152015-05-28T18:30:21.817+01:002015-05-28T18:30:21.817+01:00Well, three things:
One: I never understood why t...Well, three things:<br /><br />One: I never understood why they turned Mina into a Vampire in the movie, since it sort of detracted from what (in my interpretation) made her such a strong character. When Mr. Hyde grabs her arm, and she just tells him to let her go with the same enthusiasm you use when asking someone to pass the salt... damn, the stuff that woman has seen. Nothing faces her anymore.<br /><br />Two: I Always felt it robbed the Movie somewhat of logic for Dorian Gray to be unable to even look at his own portrait; if that's the case, how does he know what it looks like? Why hang it in the stairwell? Why didn't they have him try and kill Mina, but end up stabbing his painting instead/through her?<br /><br />Three: I miss Sean Connery. I'm frankly amazed that he stayed in the business as long as he did, considering Zardos...Buzzkillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249135776018420369noreply@blogger.com
