Movie Reviews of Day Watch (Unrated)
Movie Review: Why, oh why....
Summary: 3 Stars
While I think that Daywatch is a good movie, I did not think it was as good or action packed as its predecessor. The pace was slower, and the ending was sort of.. meh. I liked the ending of the first much better, it was darker and rang more true.. Also... who was the moron that decided to take out the original subtitles? That was one of the best things in the original release, and now they're gone?!!! What a bunch of dopes those guys at Fox are. The subtitles of Nightwatch were the most original and creative I had ever seen, and while the theatricalk release of Daywatch had similair but not as inventive subtitles, it was still better than the boring bottom whites subtitles. Too bad Fox... you screwed up.Movie Review: Movie Good, FOX Bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw Day Watch in the theater and thought it was better there. There isn't any difference in the dialog or the length of the film between the DVD and the theatrical release. The big difference comes in how the English subtitles are delivered. Unlike its predecessor, Night Watch, and the theatrical release, the DVD does not have subtitles that are integrated into the film. Instead, they're an option you must chose and they appear as normal subtitles. This is very disappointing, as the integrated subtitles allow the viewer to see more of the action when reading the text. Subtitles aside, the plot is pretty solid and the cinematics are amazing. Russia holds the next generation for special effects.Movie Review: Superb traction control
Summary: 3 Stars
DAY WATCH is a curious piece of cinema. Yes, it's visually impressive (though less stylised than Night Watch), yes it's packed full of action, and yes it's amazing that all this was done on a tiny budget. But, like its predecessor, it fails to fully engage the viewer. As with Night Watch the film has a staccato structure. The crammed and convoluted plot is constantly manipulated in order to fill the action quotient. Okay, so this is the case with most action movies, but here, when combined with the absence of any really sympathetic characters, it leads to a rather emotionless experience. For the most part this is an example of style over content. That said there's certainly plenty of style.Movie Review: Great Story, Good Movie, Bad DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved Night Watch and I think this film is a great wrap up to everyone's story arc. I saw both in the theater and bought the DVDs as soon as they came out. However, for me, the animated subtitles are about 1/4 of the fun. It makes it feel like a comic book and just gives it that edge. So why oh why did Fox not release that version for the DVD? I find it baffling that someone made the decision to not include them even as an option. Fox DVDs have been a mixed bag as of late and I think I will stop buying them sight unseen and rather rent them first to see if the DVD is good. It is unfortunate that Fox is so inconsistent in the quality of their releases.Movie Review: It was okay

After watching Wanted I looked up the director to decided to watch this movies and Nightwatch. Which they had interesting story lines the movies themselves were very slow paced with some very good action scene thrown in here and there. The story line got a little confusing here and there but I never read the book which probably could have helped. I would say over all, no harm, no foul.
