ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Mike Hawk **READ THE WHOLE THING PLEASE**First off let me start with the few good things I found in this movie. The main actors were pretty good, pretty realistic scenes, and it teaches the good moral that messing with drugs will ruin you.Prepare yourself for the long list of bad things. First of all the actors were all so random but that doesn't bother me. The movie was soo goddamn slow! I ended up fastforwarding most of the movie. At least 30 minutes of this movie was nothing but slow bullshit. The other thing that really annoyed me is that they emphasized way to much on the characters drinking and taking drugs. For 20 minutes straight I wasted my life watching these actors take shots and pills in a bar while flirting with whores. At least 85% of this movie was nothing but actors in an extremely dark setting which really annoys me watching. The scene cuts as soon as it starts to get good. The beginning of the movie spoils the rest and leaves you thanking the questionably existing God that the movie actually has an ending. Most importantly you notice the only way the sick and twisted director even came close to the actual Stevenson plot line was the he mentioned the names Jekyll and Hyde. The director gives an effort to modernize the movie but he fails because he changed the plot too much. In addition to the rating they should provide the side effects of watching this movie which include but are not limited to: -inserting your genital areas into a mechanical pencil sharpener, -stapling your eyelids shut, -setting your TV on fire, -ingesting toxic amounts of antifreeze, -suffering a slow and painful death, -sudden urges to bathe in sewage, -developing brain tumor, -questioning the existence of god, -(somehow) obesity, -severe mental retardation, -suicide.Overall the worst movie created, destroys the name of Stevenson's classic, and should be erased from the history of mankind so that when we die out aliens will acknowledge the existence of intellectual human beings and not retarded animals.

galensaysyes First things first: this is not a modern retelling of the Stevenson story, no matter what the blurb on the case claims. It's a different story in the same line, with characters who happen to be named the same as Stevenson's. Also, it isn't truly a horror story, but a dramatized sermon disguised as such. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was produced by a church. It contains no mention of God (except in vain) or of doctrine, but it's an elaborate illustration of a moral, which is actually stated aloud at the end: evil exists in all of us. The specific moral message delivered, if any, can only be: don't mess with drugs.In spite of or because of this, it isn't a bad movie. The director (or someone covering for him) shows one overriding talent: an ability to hold the interest; and that, in spite of making just about every mistake in the book. Take the first scene, where a character discovers a dead body. Instead of our discovering it at the same time he does, we get a series of cutaways from different angles, none of them from anyone's point of view; these take us out of the scene entirely. In other scenes, at points where it would become necessary to build suspense, or to pay it off, the director seems to have no confidence of his being able to do that, so he just ends the scenes there. Throughout, he overlays a loud, rather arty musical score, which is appealing in its own right but usually incongruous with the dramatic action, and often drowns it out altogether.The virtue of the director's that does the most to counterbalance faults like these is his skill in getting good performances out of actors. Apart from the movie's leading lady, a producer's-girlfriend type, the cast all come off well. The leading man is perhaps a little callow, but perhaps that was part of the point.The one important skill the director apparently lacks is the ability to create a solid script, or the judgment to recognize one. This one has playable scenes, but doesn't move right. It jerks around in time, never makes its chronology clear, telegraphs the ending at the beginning, and constantly cuts away from scenes just as they become interesting. Moreover, it's sketchy about the characters' motivations--most notably, Hyde's--and the progressions of their relationships. It needed at least one more go-through.But I expect that the director will soon move up to bigger productions, with tighter scripts, and once he has the legs to stand on, will show what he can really do.

wrlang Jekyll + Hyde is about a young college student that experiments with drugs and winds up creating a potion that allows him to change his personality and appearance. It also shortens his temper and prompts him to do bad things like kill and torture people. Jekyll isn't much better than Hyde in this remake. This is a pretty close take off on the original plot, but its not mediocre acting. It just didn't come across as a believable story. The plot was good and the dialog was passable, but the execution of the scenes came across as hollow and a little false. There were some entertaining parts and the cinematography was good.

kelz-2003 I think this movie was done very very well. I to have not seen any of the actors/actresses perform before, however for a movie that hasn't had many reviews they were brilliant. I believe that most people will find it a tad predictable, this is only because everyone knows the story before this movie was made. The precision to Hyde (Jays) character was done so well, and it goes to show you how little humans do know about themselves! To be able to understand the mind of such a person is a difficult task, and I think if it had of been more complex in this movie it would have clearly lost viewers. Because most can't grasp the concept of what our true instincts can involve, and having the ability to focus oneself souly on acting on desires and wants, people tend to shy away from such a subject due to fear of finding such tendencies in themselves. Perhaps before pointing the finger at the world and blaming it for the actions of others, we should take a look and see what truly hides within ourselves.On a second note for those of you who wish to experiment on subjects such as yourselves, make sure you have a fair idea of what you're getting yourself into. I have experienced a chemical inbalance in the brain to cause violence and absence of mind control, it isn't a nice thing to endure, especially when that majority part of my life is mostly blank, but goes to show how easily things happen when created let alone when nature takes it true course.
