well, not that i expected much, but this movie sort of sucked. fine concept for a monster movie, but its all wasted on cliche after cliche and some sort of cool but derivative action scenes that would probably be in the wachowski's trash bin.
2/5

Do most of the songs from the soundtrack show up somewhere in the movie? That's one of the main reasons I'd like to see it. I'm not really into watching movies, and like music 10 times better. So good music in a movie can raise it from mediocre too atleast good.

it hardly has anything to do with the white wolf universe, so i'm not sure how they can sue. they should sue the makers of blade, thats alot more derivative of masquerade.

I found it creative and enjoyable but ultimately forgettable. The computer animation was a real turn off.. just like EVERY OTHER FUCKING COMPUTER ANIMATED MOVIE these days. Geez, when will they learn that pure effects don't make a movie any cooler? But other than that I found the concept intriguing and it kept my interest.

tis disappointing to hear this moo V was not all that, i'm not surprised, but why can't hollywood make a decent scary flick these days?!!?!? it seems like all these films coming are totally tanking....ie. cabin fever, and cold creek manor.
i'll prolly see it for the fx, and to see how they placed the music in the film. i'm not a big fan of computer fx, and i agree it's disappointing that they are using that more and more!

I've just got back from this and enjoyed it. I was going in with the lowest of expectations, but what I was presented with really didn't deserve the majority of reviews I've read.
The film definitely holds a major debt to the style of The Matrix and Blade franchises, but to behonest, I like that style a lot and really don't mind seeing it again.
The major thing in it's favour is Kate Beckinsale, who totally kicks ass, and looks totally gorgeous. There's a spell around 2/3 of the way into the film where she drops out of it for a bit, and you really notice her absence because it kind of lays the film bare. It's fair to say that it's 100% dependent on her presence.
I didn't find the film particularly cliche-ridden at all, but maybe I haven't watched enough vampire and werewolf movies.
Finally, a word about Shane Brolly, who plays Kraven. He delivers what must be the worst performance I have ever seen in a major movie. One that's even worse than Sofia Coppola in The Godfather Part 3. In their scenes together, Beckinsale wipes the floor with him.

It was about as Romeo & Juliet as Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
