Well yeah naturally, the movie went into production in the late 90's/early 2000's. She doesn't need to be interesting, just willing to wear leather outfits in every scene.

Movie goers were, at that point, still dazzled by seeing cliche special effects like "superhuman casually drops off the top of a building and lands perfectly on the ground" and slow motion stuff.

Damn, dude. You all are showing no mercy. Get on that high horse. It was more of a rip off of The Matrix in style, if anything.

You're forgetting there is a little bit of a story to the first film, too, you know.

Just saw it.

Wasn't good.

^ You watched the recently leaked torrent, didn't you?

eh This movie can wait for the eventual marathon on the SyFy channel or TBS.

And the best part of the movie IMO, was when David and Marius both walked through a hail of gunfire and were set to brawl, then Selene just comes in and ruins it for one of the shittiest end fights ever.

Well, to be fair, that other ****, Varga, ruined it first. But yeah, they built that up to what could have been a great confrontation between those two, and then made a hash of it.

I'll take that as a 'yes.' So your opinion is negated.

Did you at least put it on a larger screen? (not just your phone or computer monitor)

I think she's more of a subtle actress in the Selene role. She has some good subtle moments. And for films like this much of the time it doesn't require much more than looking serious in front of the camera and being a badass at the stunts.

Sorry to cut you after all this time, but I hadn't checked this thread in a bit. No, there was no subtlety to her. She was petulant and melancholy, lacked depth, and added nothing to the movie but eye candy. The worst thing for the franchise was the loss of Michael and the memorable Lycans... on top of Selene still being in the films.

There is indeed a story, but Selene is just dull.

Ah.. the beloved tradition of idle internet threats...

I'll shove a rusty crowbar up your ass and out your throat.

It was actually a John Wick reference, but ok.

I gathered that, I just wanted to be a little wackier.

I reported you to the police.
