Daywatch is underwhelming... by Alonzo Mosely	Aug 30th, 2007 02:55:12 AM
Yup...
Damn I was first... by Alonzo Mosely	Aug 30th, 2007 02:56:46 AM
What is wrong with you kids, in my day we sat around refreshing every second just for the chance to scream first, and you kids today with your Sony MTV Y-Boxes and your droopy pants are beaten to the punch by an old geezer like me...
Daywatch by Wyrdy the Gerbil	Aug 30th, 2007 03:07:17 AM
Just isn`t as good as Nightwatch but if you liked the first film you will probably enjoy it,I thought they tried to hard to make it "cool" but failed somewhat...
NIGHT WATCH was garbage. by MaxTheSilent	Aug 30th, 2007 03:13:16 AM
Accept it, fanboys.
Daywatch was insane by v for vienetta	Aug 30th, 2007 03:55:05 AM
I loved it
Nightwatch was okay,but... by Rameses	Aug 30th, 2007 03:56:24 AM
it's hard to see what all the fuss was a about .It came across as a low budget commie version of underworld , crossed with a serious take on ghostbusters .Some parts were interesting , but it seemed all over the place , and looked like the director was chucking in every trick/gimmick in the book to try and make it impress.The first one was fine , but I'm in no hurry to see a sequel
MOM... er... M.O.M. by drwilliamweir	Aug 30th, 2007 04:33:17 AM
Thanks for chiming in. Nightwatch really was hacked down and the western version didn't have much explanation for things such as the fortune telling technology. Which was a shame, really. For your info, though, Daywatch DID make sense through to the closure, but it seemed hard to see where it could go afterwards. I think maybe there could be a difference there... personally I find the differences intriguing, but then I'm used to personal torture for my own sick pleasure.
I GOT SENILE AFTER WATCHING NIGHTWATCH... by Wilclas	Aug 30th, 2007 04:42:59 AM
That is one crazy movie.
Nightwatch by FILMFUNK	Aug 30th, 2007 05:02:33 AM
was a shambles! It's weird coz i could see some really nice bits in it especially on such a lo-budget but you lose me if the plot is non existant like Transformers or in this case an absolute mess and I end up hating the shit out the film! No interest in sitting trying to unravel Daywatch. the ghostie one sounds poop your pants so I'll check that one out.
Have the Russian DVDs... by DocPazuzu	Aug 30th, 2007 08:07:05 AM
...but I was royally pissed off that Daywatch didn't have English subs, especially since Nightwatch did. What the fuck is up with that? It's Putin's fault! And his sick youth movement!

Already came out, why is it being reviewed?
unlabeled accord by vaterite	Aug 30th, 2007 10:48:56 AM
yeah, makes no sense to review Daywatch, if most of us have already seen it
Vaterite... by BrundleFlyboy	Aug 30th, 2007 11:41:32 AM
Has'nt been out yet over here in Blighty... surely we're a valid part of this site too?
This year's Little Miss Pan's Labyrinth. by Christopher3	Aug 30th, 2007 11:55:53 AM
Uh oh, the AICN hype machine has begun. How will "The Orphanage" live up?
MOM re:Nightwatch by DirkD13"	Aug 30th, 2007 12:29:24 PM
Is the Russian version dubbed or with those cool as fuck subtitles? Can I get a subbed Russian full version of the film? (region 2 btw). I loved the shit out of it, but can't pretend to have known all that was going on, and the version I saw was dubbed into English.
nightwatch was ok by kilik777	Aug 30th, 2007 01:48:34 PM
but it was too inconsistent and all over the place. Still better than most crap out there. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
Everyone is talking about the Orphanage. Sounds by eggbeater	Aug 30th, 2007 02:53:58 PM
like its as good as everyone is saying. I can't wait for Daywatch though. Alot of people didn't like Nightwatch(I wasn't one of them) but at the very least, it was entertaining as hell. And hell is very entertaining.
nightwatch by abner pepper	Aug 30th, 2007 03:06:01 PM

Nightwatch... by Pawprint	Aug 31st, 2007 03:18:04 AM
Found the film to be OK, but somewhat confusing (probably loses a lot in translation). It wasn't at all what I expected, and not as 'epic' as promised by the trailer. Upon reading the book that both 'Watch' films are taken from, it all made much more sense but also served to highlight the film's problems. Still enjoyed the film though, but - as ever - not as much as the book.
