The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2006)

Thanks for the memories!

Really Surprised!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Holy moly. Here I am exactly 17 minutes into the film and I'm already regretting spending three bucks for it at Big Lots. Three bucks! At Big Lots, that's a helluva lot of KitKats I gave up in favor of this awful film, and boy, do I feel cheated.Tony Todd? Good in "Candyman" and nothing else, including this. As the titular doctor he's bland, boring and uninteresting. As the titular monster, he's laughable -- equal parts Jerry Lewis in the original "Nutty Professor" and Eric Roberts in anything.Tracy Scoggins has grown old to look like Lily Munster. Except, the actress who played Lily Munster had to work at it. Damn, that's sad.I won't insult you by recapping the plot. You know the story, and none of the differences in this film matter, anyway.There's lots of college coeds in early-'90s lip gloss who don't take anything off. At least they could have given us that. But director John Carl Buechler, who is just... oh, just awful, has such contempt for anyone who would drop three smackers at Big Lots for this garbage he doesn't even give us a peek.Not that a little T&A would have made up for a nonsensical script, molasses-in-Alaska pacing, and the worst acting I've ever seen since that '80s cult VHS classic "Evil Toons" (which was better than this movie).And I want to reiterate -- though the late Roger Ebert would have likely disapproved -- I've come to these conclusions after just 17 minutes into this rotten, rotten movie. I turned it off after deciding my life was worth more than spending time on this.I've read in other reviews Jekyll turns into a giant monkeyman at the end.Not worth it, folks. I'm going to bed. And I hope Big Lots exchanges this for three bucks in KitKats tomorrow.

Total CRAP! Waste of Talent, Waste of Money, Waste of Time.(Spoiler) Any time a minor character tells another minor character in the beginning of the movie that the Major character is "Gorgeous" and we've already seen him as a possibly charming but homely lug, we are in BIG trouble. The makeup man is the director and it's terrible makeup.Poor Tracy Scoggins, normally a beautiful woman, looks like a retired hooker with that shaved eyebrow blue streak eye shadow stretching back to her temples.Tony Todd is just not equipped to rescue this celluloid miscarriage.Nuthin' but offensive Pimpaganda.Pheeww! Somebody open a window!

You get the feeling this movie is going to be a forgettable experience after the first few minutes of viewing, production qualities are terrible from the outset and you will see better acting on a Demtel Infomercial. From a B grade movie perspective it's not even funny.Don't even watch this out of curiosity, it's a waste of 90 minutes of your life. If ever you had put off going to that slide night at a friend's place then just substitute the 90 minutes you would watch this movie and sit through it with the comforting thought that sitting through those 641 holiday snaps is a much more rewarding experience than watching this movie.You really wonder why movie studios release these types of movies but by packaging it in a glossy title then you definitely get the feeling they're just out to make a quick buck. I will however remember "Vendetta Films" and "RedAnt" who released it and approach any movies made or promoted by them very suspiciously in future.

Renowned horror legend Tony Todd ("Candyman") brings to life...once again...the story of Dr. Jekyll and his monstrous alter-ego, Mr. Hyde. Only this time, it's in modern times, and he's a scientist who's working with animals to discover something (I don't remember what it was, the movie was THAT bad).The violence is extremely toned down, the storyline is so overdone that it's simply boring, and the ending (SPOILER): Jekyll turns into Hyde...and then turns into a giant monkey-man.Once again, I feel that Robert Louis Stevenson is rolling over in his grave.
