Guest IRARI Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 has anyone seen these, are they good? i caught part of night watch and the subtitles used transitions, it was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nothing special. The M83 soundtracked trailer for nightwatch makes it look a lot better than it actually is. edit:not seen daywatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegecow Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ive seen night watch a few times a couple years ago. I found it to be generally pretty enjoyable, though i cant remember what i particularly liked about it. Still waiting to see daywatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I found that there was a little too much CGI and not enough story. More flashy than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Moss Acid Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 i have nightwatch and it was enjoyable. i have daywatch but havnt seen it yet as its dubbed in english and thats a alol.. its almost as bad as itchy the killer's overdub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I like the fact that the director is called Timur Bekmambetov. It would be a bit like having a German director called Adolf Hitler if it wasn't for the fact half the population of Kazakhstan is called Timur.

Guest Adjective Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I like the other nightwatch with ewan mcgregor and nick nolte it's a remake though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catsonearth Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 they're pretty cool movies. not the deepest i've ever seen, but they're very interesting to watch. generic dark vs light storyline, but i can forgive that. anybody know if they'll make the third movie ever or has timur moved on to bigger, better things (like 'wanted'...LOL!)?

Guest melotronic Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 muchly overrated nice if you like that sort of thing i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 i thought the little opening scene after the flashback in nightwatch was freaking excellent but after that 15 minutes was over the movie was horribly disappointing, cliched and boring as fuck. I am really sick of vampire movies, Let the Right one in being a tiny exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 saw the first one last night. it had moments of greatness but spread so thinly amoungst the confusion, bullshit and bad acting thatit was easily forgotten. although saying that i did watch it dubbed in english which i didnt want to but there was no other option. the english dub was incoherent so we had subs on too. i know that can ruin a movie but i can't imagine it saving this shit i didnt like this movie. got the second one to watch but i'm going to not bother. thanks watmm for another disappointing recommendation. also i think Johnathan Ross recommended it too. idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same feeling watching Luc Besson films. What is it with these Euros who wear their neuroses openly with seemingly no self-consciousness? Freud was Austrian; Euros are supposed to be edumacated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I couldn't make it through Nightwatch. I thought it was shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plstik Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I liked Nightwatch, nothing special, but interesting. Daywatch just felt weird.. the ending was simply wtf (the books are still great btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I saw trailers for these watching the After Dark Horrorfest films. I watched Daywatch first, and had no idea what I was seeing, but it all made sense after I watched Nightwatch. I can see why they called it the Russian answer to the Matrix, though; crazy conceptual stunts and a different mythology. I also liked the concept of Others and their individual abilities. I would still recommend them, IRARI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
