6/10
Great plot? Nah. Great dialogue? Don't call the Pulitzer prize committee. Neat concept? Sure thing.
You've got to know what you're getting when you go to the movies, and it was pretty obvious from the get-go that this movie was made with certain limitations. I didn't expect greatness and i didn't get it. I got an ever-so-slightly edgy, alternate perspective on the modern mythology of vampires and werewolves. That's it. That's all that I expected.
There has been a lot of talk about the lack of character development and other things of this nature in this movie. Er, so? You're watching a vampire/werewolf face-off. What, did you expect, "Shakespeare in Love"-style dialogue? Yeah, they could have done quite a few things better, and I'm really disappointed that they squandered a neat set of concepts with some freshman faux-paus. But, such is the life of this type of production and budget.
I stick to the 6/10, taking into consideration the genre.
