Ok kids, I saw My Bloody Valentine 3-D last night and under the cut is my **VERY SPOILERY** review. To read my non-spoilery review GO HERE.
First an foremost, I want to say that I went into this movie already knowing who the killer was. And although it spoiled me for the thrill of trying to figure out who the bad guy was, it did not spoil me for the ending...if that makes any sense, lol.
The 3-D element did not disappoint. In fact, I highly recommend seeing the movie in 3-D to get the full frightening experience. Having said that, if you have a weak stomach, do NOT see this movie. Yes, as stunningly beautiful as Jensen Ackles is in gigantic 3 dimensions (and very much worth every cent of the ticket price), even his gorgeous self can't counteract the sheer goriness and shocking imagery this movie does not hesitate to throw right in your face (literally).
As far as the acting goes, one does not expect much from a straight-up popcorn flick slasher film, but I have to say that the actors (for the most part) were very believable, and if they didn't keep you guessing as to who the killer was, then they surely made you believe they were terrified as the masked pickax killer descended upon them.
Now for the SPOILERS....
I knew it was going to be a helluva gory ride through this entire movie after watching only the first 10 minutes of the film. Throughout the movie, you see decapitated corpses, chest cavities hacked open, real human hearts hidden inside red heart-shaped candy boxes, eyes flying at you from being pierced by a pickax, jaws being ripped off....let's just say the movie very much lives up to it's title. My Bloody Valentine indeed.
Kerr Smith, who plays Sheriff Axel Palmer was downright awesome. Although, anyone who is in love with Kerr will NOT be in love with his character. Bottom line: he is a cheating douche bag. He made me hate him from the very minute he stepped on screen. His acting was great because if I didn't know who the killer already was, I would have believed it was Sheriff Palmer.
Amazingly, I actually liked Jaime King who plays Sarah Palmer. She wasn't your run-of-the-mill dumb bimbo chick in a slasher movie (but believe me, there were plenty of others in this film). She actually kicked ass and as much as she ran from the killer, she fought back too and got some "You go girl!" hits against the murderer. I enjoyed watching her and Jensen on the screen together. They made you wish the two of them would be able to just come together and live happily ever after.
And then there's Jensen Ackles. Ahh, Jensen, Jensen, Jensen. Nowhere in this movie did I see Dean Winchester, and it kind of threw me for a loop. Tom Hanniger is one very confused, very frightened, very angry, and very bitter mixed up guy. And up until the very end you didn't know whether to root for him or want to run away from him. Jensen has the best scene in the entire movie. His acting in the ending will blow you away! His facial expressions say so much without him uttering a single word. To go from believably confused, to evil, to innocent, all in a matter of 5 seconds, all while not speaking a sound, takes some maaaaad acting skills. When you finally realize that Tom is indeed the killer (and holy shit! OMG! Jensen is the killer!), you don't know whether you want to shoot him yourself or give him a giant teddy bear hug. You'll see what I mean, lol. It is absolutely amazing. The hands down most awesome scene is when Jensen/Tom is walking down the mine tunnel with pickax in hand and as he passes the ceiling lights, he knocks them out one by one with the pickax, and as the sparks fly, for a split second each time you see him in the miner's mask and full murdering attire. It is SO FREAKING COOL!!!
If anyone has doubts as to if they'll like this movie or not, my advice to them is just go into the theater to have a good time. Don't expect anything more than a mindless, gory, whodunit slasher flick. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. Don't be surprised to see stupid people running slowly, tripping and falling, walking alone in the creepy woods, lots of "F" bombs (and holy crap, to hear Jensen say "fuck" made me LOL), naked chicks, and blood, blood, blood. This movie is not going to win any Oscars, but it just might be enough scary fun to keep you entertained for about an hour and a half. :)
