Vampires and Werewolves--oh my!!
Other than a loud and annoying soundtrack, I truely enjoy this film. I thought the story managed a unique twist on an old theme. Sure there are shots that look as though it belonged in the Matrix but all in all it works. I'm not saying that there aren't a few plot holes or that the movie isn't riddled with coincidences--it is. I mean the finally fight between Victor and Michael was as anticlimatic as one could get. We finally get this vampire/werewolf hybrid and Victor kicks his butt. Selene turns out to be all anyone needs. But hey, all the fighting poses were sleek and elegant. More like dancing than fighting. If you enjoy vampire stories--this film should still make your must see list.

Good movie but...
One, I enjoyed the movie. Gun battles, great special effects, and the lovely Kate Beckinsale. I liked how the movie makers tried to keep humans in all the scenes and didn't use computer graphics for everything. Being a fan of Whitewolf I enjoyed parts of the movie and can understand why they sued Sony.
But I think they failed in some parts - I would have liked to see vampires fighting fang and claw against the weres a couple of times. Also, Kate's beauty was under used - she only wore two outfits during the whole movie. While Sophia Myles, who was Erika, got to show off her beauty with multi-outfits and even got to show off her pretty fangs while on a ceiling.
We never learned much about the history of either sides, only in where it was needed to support the plot. Frankly, while I like Goth, and found many of the backgrounds interesting, I think some vampires would be more colorful. You're dead - you might as well enjoy it. What about body art, nose rings and clown outfits? And why are weres always in sewers or run-down ruins? They seem to live just as long - don't they have bank accounts?
The commentary was perfect and the extras were great, but I fear the movie missed the true greatness it could have reached.

Very Good
Very very good, better than what I expected
