... actually it was more daytime but nevertheless I came up with the wise idea to rent the two most horrible movies I had seen this year and give them another chance and while I was at it, I also decided to take a look at Underworld 3.

Well, upon seeing The Dark Knight again, I must actually say I would not give it a 1 anymore, I guess a 4 is okay. It has its entertaining moments, if you ignore the overall plot - Heath is really doing a nifty job ... it just the rest that sucks. I knew the majority of the characters were incompetent, but in fact everyone is totally incompetent with the exception of the Joker, who obviously read the script :P okay, he probably forgot it at the police station and someone brought it around to Gordon ... it is really embarassing how much audience knowledge certain characters suddenly have that they could not possible have at this moment.

The second re-watch was Hellboy 2 and boy it still sucks - but this time I kept some screen caps. I guess my main motiviation was anyway to check out the villain once more. He is the only character who is not totally dumb, although he utters some pretty dumb lines ... but compared to the rest of the characters he still way smarter ...

Underworld 3 was actually not as horrible as I had expected. Compared to the second part is was actually quite good (which does not say much about the quality of the movie as the second part was just awful in so many ways I can not possibly write them all down without wasting too much precious time). I guess I was mainly happy to see Raze again and it cleared up a few things in regards to the second movie. Still, no love there, the continuity breaks to the first one are unforgiveable.

But in hind sight I must say, Sonja was casted excellent. Rhona was really filling out the character, she was the medieval (well whatever Kate's character's name was): bitchy, dumb and even in her most emotional scenes she was the perfect mimic of an ice cube. The Sonja in the first movie was not only blond but so expressive in her short flashback that I always wondered why the hell Kate's character would remind him of her ... man, I hate these modern female heroines.
