not a fan of vampir-y stuff, but this one had a meaning in it.

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2010)

Although I have found some stuff in this movie misleading, or mysterious, I still loved it, it had a point and a story after all instead of just vampires flying everywhere, so my overall opinion is 'good film'! the reason why Id given it a 6, I did not get some of its parts, -first of all Lestant -if im not mistaken- , Cruise's character, we were told that vampires are immortal, but the -never drink dead blood- part brought me to the question ? do they lose their immortality when they drink dead human blood as we saw Lestant getting killed by Claudia the moment he drank the dead blood, when earlier the wounds on his face would disappear immediately -before drinking the dead blood-, but later then he still lived, how? two possibilities, -He was still a vampire when he was thrown into the sea. -If he has lost his immortality when he was thrown into the sea how would he have survived on the reptiles' blood ? his first death and his first show-up after death didn't quite confuse me, I began to think later on when they kept bringing him back, when he -looking completely creepy- was burned by Luis, he was brought back again looking so fresh and young like nothing ever happened? and he remained a vampire. That was my first confusion point. my 2nd one, I didn't quite understand the relationship between Luis and Claudia, because I watched it on fox movies perhaps ? maybe they cut off some romance if there ever was any? Once she calls him father and he calls her daughter, then they switch to calling each other 'my love'?! This is not a very weak thing in the movie anyway, I just thought I'd point it out. The movie also sounded or -seemed- as a play more than a movie, the way they spoke, interacted, the performances -to me- were not very powerful, I was not blown away by any of the actors' performances, and for Claudia, I thought she was a weak performer. and my last criticism, a very tense vampire movie ending with a tempo-beat song, REALLY?
