So much ridiculousness.

I can't believe I watched this. Terrible pacing, the bad come and go accents, some really terrible dialog, the fact that we are given little to care about (no investment in the characters and no hope of defeating Lanoge).

Several parts were laughably bad. Letting Cat just murdered her boyfriend just hang out with the kids, Lanoge scheduling an "unscheduled town meeting" for 9 o'clock, Tim Daily's asshat of a wife willing to risk their child to stand with a town full of human scum. This could have easily been much better with this 4 hour run time. There isn't even enough depth for a decent 2 hour movie IMHO. How are so many commentators on this board fans of this crap?

And the worst offense and proof these people are scum... He said those stones are really old and yet they are running away with them or just throwing them on the floor.

Lanoge: "come on you guys! This is why we can't have nice things."
