I liked that movie and always wanted a sequel permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago* (1 child) Biggest problem with that movie is it's pacing IMO, shouldve either been an hour longer or gone in with the intention of making it two movies. At the very least they needed to include some pre release specials on the Sci-fi channel going over the history of the characters mostly because while most of the characters come from early modern literature Mina Harker for example is pretty fucken obscure if you haven't consumed more Dracula or it's more direct adaptations. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 child) I have obscure tastes, LoL. Actually I found it most difficult to explain the science and technology background of Nemo to the uninitiated - people just know him as the guy with the submarine but the car and other tech were right in line with the character permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago Honestly I kinda wonder if it would've done better nowadays, it's basically a live action cousin of the Castlevania anime in a lot of ways. Still very cheesy but it is more than capable of taking itself seriously and generally respects the source materials, Jeckel and Hyde not withstanding but they always get messed up. permalink fedilink source parent
