Ruggedly homo-werewolves vs. monocolor vampires!

Rating: 5/10 (20 September 2003)

This movie blows.. I do need to give them credit with the look of the WWs, finally they didn't look like a guy in a costume, or a cgi cartoon..BUT, they still get very little screen time. When did a wolf learn how to defy gravity and run on the ceiling? (just silly) Notice that there are no Female WW's...hmmm. So what you have is a group of NAKED men who run around underground ,smacking each other until they are bruised and bloody.. Ancient Greece anyone?
What about the vamps... Sure, this film has obligitory hot chicks in tight clothes.(when you can see them) .but little else for eye candy. Visually, this movie is more tiring to watch than (insert Lifetime Movie of the Week title here).. What is the deal with current movies making everything so DARK you can't see anything, and then adding a green or blue colored filter to remove whatever contrast is left. ( notice how vibrant the foyer of the mansion COULD BE..)
THIS FORMAT IS STUPID... I DIDN'T PAY $X.XX TO LOOK AT A BLACK WALL WITH FUZZY INCOHERANT MONOTONE SHAPES MOVING AROUND. Little else can be said for the vamps.. Japaneese style overacting, sure, nifty sharp teeth, great, anything else.. no not really.. I have seen deeper plot and character development in my nephew's Little Golden Books.
Yes, there are a few cool shots... (the jumping off stuff and landing into a walk, etc..) BUT, it hardly outweighs the lame... (A scene in a cop car where a guy starts to change into a WW, but doesn't, OR THE FINAL BATTLE.... Looks like to unspectacular guys fist- fighting in a watery pit to me......)
BRING EARPLUGS.. This movie has no problem in trying to trick you in to feeling a certain way by adding loud (and I mean LOUD, and annoying) sound effects and Music. They do this to try to mke you forget that what you are seeing on screen is just plain stupid. Adding a Thrash Metal Rock song at ear bleeding levels, hardly makes me more interested in the movie.. I hate that...
Overall, I found that I disliked more of this movie than I liked it.. Glad I saw it for free, wait for the rental.
