Feels flawed, but it'll hold your attention even if you're thinking "That's not right!"
Almost worth watching just for Sean Connery's off-and-on Scottish accent. The effects are a bit dated, but it *is* almost 13 years old… and I've seen worse in blockbuster films from last year.

Ah, I got to rewatch the movie that made Sean Connery retire and the director never directed a movie again (which is crazy because he did Blade!!). It is sad to say this because I love a lot of literature stories involving the characters in this movie, but this movie stinks. No one has ever disputed that.
That being said, there are a few things that I do like in this movie:
1. The work done on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is pretty great. This movie has horrible CGI (which I won't hold against it for the time) but Mr. Hyde was was all prosthetic and his transformations and design looked really great.
2. I like the characters. Cheesy lines and bad directing, but the characters were still likable. I really wish they could re-do this movie somehow, but go for a more serious tone.
Maybe I should stick with the books.
