how come nobody mentioned how it rips off the matrix? were the ripoff scenes good-looking? was the plot philosophical at least a little bit?

i saw it, i thought it was pretty good, but my image of vampires is how anne rice describes them. i read her vampire books 1-5 (interview w/ the vampire to memnock the devil). since i think of vampire the way she describes them, the ones in this movie were kind of weak. hehe, either way it was pretty cool

I hope its better than Reloaded.

Quit watching commercials/trailers and see the damn movie before you start being a critic. LAME

The plot, think of Romeo & Juliet meet Werewolves & Vampires. With sort of a plot twist toward the end.

It was fucking TERRIBLE. The plot was completely incoherant, the characters were really weak, the acting was lame, the entire thing was very predictable, and it was just generally bad. The Vampires did nothing even slightly vampire-ish, other than have teeth. The Werewolves were a bit cool, with the transformations and all, but in general, it just sucked.

To sum it all up, I like a movie with at least a small helping of intelectual value. This movie was completely lacking in that, and didn't even make it up with cool fight scenes or anything. It's only reedeming factor was Kate Beckinsale, and her trenchcoat.

a trailer says a lot about a movie, and i have almost never been wrong about a movie by judging its trailer.


in this case i distinctly saw matrix-style scenes and matrix-style lighting effects. and romeo & juliet meet werewolves and vampires with a plot twist at the end sounds pretty lame to me.

Beckinsale is damn fine. The movie was really disappointing for me tho. It looked so cool and got decent reviews from respectable newspapers and the like, but it did suck a bit.

I saw about a week ago. It was OK but could have been a lot better. I think the characters were not as prominent as they should have been. The movie just didn't get you to care enough for them.
