Summary: Get over it, already. Disney wasn't involved!
Review: Alright. I've had enough of the complaining about how the acting was wooden, the characters didn't have any fun, the action was the whole movie, the special effects were bad, and on and on....The movie was exactly what I expected: a dark struggle between two ancient forces who anticipate an apex in the hostilities very soon. Yeah, not a lot of joking around happening here and although a few of the actors explore the craft of acting from A to B (instead of A to Z). (...)She was certainly as entertaining if not more so than Tank Girl or Stripperella! And Kate Beckinsale in her latex catsuit is at least as appealing as Wonder Woman is, right? I liked the movie, bought the movie, have watched the movie several more times since the purchase and eagerly await the sequel, so there!

Summary: Very entertaining flick
Review: There are reasons this movie was never nominated for an Academy Award. But absolutely none of those reasons stopped the movie from being immersive and entertaining. Will it end up being shown on TCM? Most likely not. Was it a fun 2 hours? You betcha. I hesitate to give examples, as that would ruin some of the experience. Suffice it to say that by the time I was far enough in the movie for the plot to begin it's twisting, I was so immersed in the feel of the flick that I never saw any of them coming. Any movie that can do that impresses me.

Summary: I hate to admit the previews were better than the movie
Review: After the previews, I was ready to really enjoy the movie. The premise, though getting a bit old, still appeals to me. I got tired of Kate Beckinscale bursting through doors (even when it wasn't really called for). The acting was not good....very wooden surprisingly. I got the impression that she was trying to project her idea of what macho should look like. If you are looking for a saturday night movie for background noise while you enjoy a night with friends, this is great. Otherwise.....

Summary: Wait a second...
Review: I have reviewed this movie at 3 stars, entirely because I'm a huge dork and love vampire movies. Upon a second watching, though... these folks really could have tried harder. The premise is salvagable, and the overall look and feel of the movie, while not particularly new, ain't bad. But now I have to wonder... Why in the HECK do Viktor, Markus and Amelia have to hibernate? What's the point in being immortal if you spend two of every three centuries asleep? Aside from being able to jump off of buildings and frown a lot, what's the benefit of being a vampire? They never leave the house, they drink packaged blood, and all (except Selene and Viktor, of course) get their butts kicked by the lycans on a regular basis. Where does this take place? There are European addresses and license plates, but when a reference is made to Amelia being on the other side of the "great ocean" yet arriving by steam train, I got confused. WHEN does this take place? They refer to Alexander Corvinus (from whom vamp and lycan both decended), becoming immortal because of some fluke encounter with Black Death in the 15th century. Viktor talks about the "chain" of vamp elders being unbroken for 14 centuries. So... the 29th century? I don't get it. Yes, I own it. Yes, I watch it. Yes, I think it's fun. But I'm a dork. I'll tolerate weak backstory and weak plot if the movie's dorky enough.

Summary: Best vampire movie i seen in a while
Review: This was one of the best vampire movies i have see in a while. Other than the fact that Kate Beckinsale looks really good in this it was a well put together film. It has great special effects and alot of action. You wont get bored watching this. It has the dark and gloomy atmosphere that a movie should have. There was no unnecsary love scenes that made it boring and drug out. It is not a film of vampire seduction and sex. Great movie for vampire fans.

Summary: A film with a story instead of flashy effects
Review: This film was way better than I had expected. OK, the special effects are not all that great. On the other hand, the story and the acting are more than adequate, and that means more to me. I suppose one of the problems with the film is that the borders between good/bad are extremely blurred. As in most wars, good and evil depend on whose side you are on. This film is way too complex for an ordinary horror/action flick.
The film might not succeed one hundred percent in its goal, but it is close enough, and does not fall flat as too many other films do. It is exciting all the way through.

Summary: COOL
Review: this is probably the coolest movie ever made! well, actually I haven't even seen it, but it looks pretty cool.

Summary: Hope the extras are worth it...
Review: I gave the original 4 stars as I thought it was a very entertaining horror flick. Selene and Lucian just stole the movie for me. Anyways I'm giving this extended cut one more star as I believe, and hope, the extra material will be worth it. I just wish that these dvds would come extended from day one, unlike LotR etc.

Summary: Ugh
Review: This is one of those movies that could have been great. I mean really, really, really, cult movie to the max. great... Only they missed. The story line is wonderful, but for the first thirty min. you are left wondering what is going on. You have no idea past history until over half way through the movie. I have seen this tactic done before in other flicks, and this one just didnt get it right. I was left wondering for far to long who was who and what was what. Although the concepts between the two waring factions in the film were wonderfully contrived, the fight scenes - scenes important to all battle movies, were horrible! I kid you not, my husband and I could do better play acting than this when drunk. So what do I recommend? See it if you are bored. If for no other reason than the laughs at the "sliced head" scene.
