I'm not sure what movie all those 7-10 star reviewers were watching, I just can't align any of the rave reviews with what I watched the other night.
Terrible make-up and effects (even for the time it was filmed in), a soppy narrative and theatrical language that would make Shakespeare turn in his grave. Laughable fight-scenes that could have come straight out of a school play, ...
The only good thing about the whole movie was Sophie's piano play and her feminist notions towards Zachary in one of their brief dialogues. Sophie was also (in the beginning, at least) the only likable character in this vampire soap opera.
It was bearable enough to while away a gloomy afternoon without having to turn it off, hence the 3 star rating.
