An all-round delight for the mind and the senses
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Werewolfs vs. Vampires, Predator vs. Alien, Godzilla vs. Godzilla, Batman vs. Spiderman....please spare us any further nonsensical 'matches made in heaven'... so I thought as the film began. It took a while for the full impact of the film to win over my prejudice. The visual delight accompanied the viewer all the way through scenery, costumes, light, camera work and action scene choreography. The pure silvery face of Kate Beckingsdale balanced the elf-in-latex and somehow against all odds elevated her to become the perfect and purest avenging angel of all... It's a film of a genre which, unfortunately, rarely qualifies for Oscar nominations. I'd give the the following: best actress for Kate, best supporting actor for 'Victor', best cameraman, best costumes and scenography, best special effects and best music (the music itself I don't like, but it fits the film to perfection). There's nothing about the film I can fault, every single component: screenplay, direction, actors, scenography, costumes and makeup, action sequences, camera work is perfect in itself and perfect as a whole. I'm under a deep spell.
