Jekyll + Hyde (2006)

So much average

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.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie has great production values, good acting, a good idea behind the script, and competent crew, yet it fails at being in any way interesting or entertaining. The problem is how the story is told. Rather than go with a straightforward timeline, they mixed present and past and added a voice-over that provides some philosophical musings. The basic story is of course Jeckyl and Hyde: 2 personalities in one person, one good, one bad. The twist here is that the transformation is achieved here by a medical student looking for some breakthrough medication by experimenting with illicit drugs. The main character is established as a good guy only in a few scenes, most of the movie he spends as a bad guy, and he sure gets bad. Some of the scenes would be classified as "torture porn" by some, but in this case the victims are mostly males for some reason. Another sleazy character provides the drugs. Then there's the mandatory loving girl, who's interested in our JH for no reason and goes out of her way to care for him. Another friend gets to be the nice guy who gets bullied. There is not one character to care for. There's some gore and violence, a little bit of nudity of a corpse. Nothing that would make this movie worthwhile. Overall, for a horror movie this is rather tame and lame, slow-going and uninteresting.

This is suspenseful, kind of scary movie. It's a young version of the story. It's about a young genius medical student and he's not happy with his life. His whole life he's been the outcast type of guy, so he comes up with this drug that makes him this other person. The problem is, of course, the drug has many side affects and he eventually loses control. It's cool because a lot of kids can relate to it, cause who didn't wish when they were younger that they could just take a pill and be someone else. Plus, I think that Bryan Fisher is gorgeous. I think that we will soon be seeing him on the big screen a lot in the future. Bryan Fisher if you read this, you have such a hot 'sex face.' I can't wait to watch you in your future movies. Jekyll plus Hyde was awesome.

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.

Saw this one the other night. Honestly,I have never seen or heard of it before. But was delighted at the acting and the storyline. Some of the scenes get pretty intense,and every now and then the story kinda goes off to never never land. But all in all this was and is a great movie to see. Not sure if its "Theater" quality but definitely worth seeing. Most of the stars I have never heard of before,but the cast did a really great job. Biggest issue I have with this movie is the beginning. I won't elaborate anymore ,you will figure it out. Its a bit slow at times,but trust me,its worth the wait.A bit of T@A in it,just enough to make it presentable. Also a lot of the "effects" are pretty good and believable..
