Suske en Wiske: De duistere diamant (2004)
Badly directed of in fact not a bad story
Yesterday I saw this movie on DVD.
First thing that I've noticed: this story is completely incomprehensible if you did not read the comic-book! The story is told in a very amateurish way, which makes it sometimes difficult to follow. Of course: if you have read the book, you can fill in the missing parts. If you haven't read the book: good luck in trying to understand the story.
Or let's say the details in the story.
This is really a pity since the actors are doing a great job. Especially Stany Crets as Jerommeke is great!
Another complaint: I have never seen such unprofessional rubbish on a DVD as extra. Not much extra on the DVD, only the making of. first 10 minutes are great and you can have a look behind the scenes. But then you as spectator are treated on a movie-clip which I only can describe as some kind of camcorder record: a 3 minutes shot of a door ?? Shots filmed when the camera was supposed to be switched off (so, you see floor and ceiling). This made my DVD experience quite special I must see ;-)
conclusion: the actors did a great job, even the special effects and decors were OK. Unfortunately a bad director and bad cut totally kills this movie experience. If you have the DVD there is an unforgettable "extra" which is so bad, one have to see it to believe it.
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Bad script, bad acting
This is by far one of the worst horror-movies I saw.
The first Jeepers Creepers was thrilling, with a lot of horror-effects and scary moments. This sequel isn't really worth of looking at: there is no suspense whatsoever, the creature is known so, he can fly as much as he wants, so no mystery about that anymore. The teenagers on the bus like to argue with each other more then try to find a way out. The acting is very bad: if a creature like the Creeper is coming to get you, will you be amazed, surprised, or in panic? Those teenagers on the bus are everything except in panic. So, for my part, this JC2 can be along with "8 legged freaks" have the title as worst horror-movie ever. I would recommend more the first movie.
