Just saw it and loved it. I give it a 9! Very nice and pulpy!

I like the movie. The visual effect were absolutely stunning. I learned today the movie was filmed entirely on blue screen. I normally hate blue screen. I can tell where blue screen is used and it annoys me to no end. In this movie, I hardly noticed (the most noticeable was the "dinosaur island" of the evil doctor).

The plot holes are more noticeable. Namely

Spoiler

Polly Perkins held the vials that was the key to the Doomsday Device, why didn't she destroy them? Also, if the scientist could create mass robots why didn't simply replace the human race with them? You wouldn't need a massive rocket full of animals. Robots have no feelings, no wars, no conflicts (other than what they were programmed to).

Overall a B-. If I was expecting a pulpy, comic-book style movie, an A-

I gave it a 10. I thought it was marvelous pretty much from beginning to end. It's look was magnificent

I gave it a 4.

I thought the movie was pretty bad overall. Visually it was very interesting, but the story was awful and nonsensical. Also, the dialogue had me wincing in many parts. I didn't pay $9.25 to listen to awfully scripted lovers' quarrling for 2 hours.

Well, that's part of the genre. Those old pulp sci-fi movies were like that. It kinda annoyed me too, but I won't score it down for it: it's faithful to the media.

I gave it a 6. Visually perfect, but with screenplay flaws. Lucas can make visually perfect movies too, but I think he has more than demonstrated that fancy images do not a film make.

I quite enjoyed Polly's conendrum with her camera. Especially with the final punch.

I gave it a 5, maybe I could have made it an 6 but the movie just did not do much for me. I think it tryed to put too much into into it, from every pulp source and lost something.

I love it, it was great, and no,I am NOT drunk...ahhhhh....it brings back the memories of the ole' black & white serials on TV back then.

10... "Just shake it!" ZZZZZZZzzzapppp.....YEAH

Uhh, what were you expecting, then?

9 from me -- I loved it.

It managed to be predictable in the right ways, and still surprise me from time to time, and the look was fantastic. Jude & Gweneth worked very well as the leads, and the humor was thoroughly enjoyable.

I gave it a six, the look of it was just wonderful, but for me that's all there was. As I was watching it, I was thinking of stuff that I watched when I was a kid in the 50's--things like 'Commando Cody', and I realized that one of the things that nostalgia does is make us forget just how bad that stuff really was. I had the same feeling when I got done watching Van Helsing. I guess what I'm saying is that 'I'm old. I demand irony!'. And I was thinking that the only thing possibly worse than a movie with Gwenth Patrow and Jude Law would be one with Jude Law and Nicole Kidman ...oh wait...
