Not at all what I expected! Very unsatisfied!

Rating: 2/10 (14 November 2007)

I am seriously displeased with this movie! Although I was very much waiting to see it, "30 days of night" proved to be very far from what I expected. In a bad sense of the expression, that is. I will not comment whether the actors cast are suitable for their roles, I will just say that not a single one of them made me feel any sympathy or concern for his/her fate throughout. Moreover, I found almost no logic in the actions of the "heroes" and even less in the doings of the vampires. While watching, many times I asked myself the question "Why did he do THAT?" or "Why did he go there?" and my favorite "When the hell did THEY get separated??" Unfortunately, I couldn't find an answer to the questions. I also think that many other movies ("Dawn of the Dead" for example) made quite a better job of portraying the passing time in the movie and also what happened through the time the viewers missed. Quite disappointing for me were also the "vampire only" scenes, in which I only saw a wasted potential for a good plot. In my opinion, the "scary scenes" were the biggest disappointment. I wasn't satisfied with their amount, intensity and even gore levels. What a waste! The only thing that I liked in the entire movie was its ending. And by ending, I mean only the last 3 or 4 minutes. But they were quite well done in my opinion. That's why I gave the movie a 2 in stead of a 1.
