Movie Reviews of Vampires - Los Muertos
Movie Review: Nothing Original, but still Good!
Summary: 4 Stars
Jon Bon Jovi stars as: Vampire hunting Derek Bliss (I know its cheesy, but I LIKE the name LOL)who is deployed to New Mexico by a top-secret vampire hunting agency. Once there, Derek Sent to Mexico, where he must gather a group of allies to hunt and kill a nest of evil, cruel and incredibly stupid vampires.Despite the 'good guys must stake evil vampires' plot, Los Muerteos had its moments. Jon Bon Jovi does well, as the laid back and practical Bliss, and the supporting cast are completely up to the task of portraying a band of 'hunters,' with enthusiasm.
Things I could've done without: some stereotypical characters: crusty old coot, young sidekick, and the 'ditzy female psychic whose mind is linked to the arch-vampire,' and the stereotypical I'm so eeevvvvvilllll villain who seems to have no motivation, other than to run around and act stupid. I mean, a SMART vampire could've easily outwitted Bliss and the gang without a drop of blood spilled. Its too bad, because I found the master vampire/ss interesting, and a little backstory on her wouldn't have been amiss.
Overall a light entertaining film, with nothing new, featuring a decent cast.
Movie Review: This is a great film...
Summary: 4 Stars
Good action in thsi one! The vampire master chick moves kind of like Jet Li in THE ONE, some gory and some really funny moments. Down side is that besides the vampire effects, nothing really new to see, and the black dude has to make what I consider to be the most incredibly stupidest move in the history of vamp movies! That one plot point is so outstandingly stupid that it makes no sense in the larger scheme of the movie. It's akin to being a zombie hunter and deciding to take a nap in the graveyard when you're on the trail of a zombie who is killing off people that hunt zombies! Too dumb for words. Besides that, I loved the film, and the diner scene is a killer. Get it and be amused and sometimes shocked. But the brotherman...why oh why???Movie Review: Better Then Vampires
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the only times I can actually say the sequel is better then the original. Although James Woods is a cool bad [...] on film it seemed that Jon Bon Jovi just played this part better. Bon Jovi had a more lack-a-daysical and loner type attitude toward the whole business of vampire hunting. In this movie there is also a little bit more to the plot then the orignal, although it does have drawing power from the original. All the actors did a good job and I'm not even sure I would call this a B-Movie, you just don't get that cheesy feeling when you watch it. If you're a fan of "Vampires" or the genre I would definately buy this movie.Movie Review: Campy and Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a very intertaining film; much better to watch than James Wood's version, although I must say I did like his as well. I thought Jon Bonjovi brought a more down to earth, likeable, and more fanciful hero in the vampire hunter genre. I recommend this to any vampire film enthusiast and to any fellow Jon Bonjovi fan. This is one of Jon's best performances and you can tell that he is having a great time making this film (and he makes a great vampire himself). I was surprised that he didn't get very good reviews for his work in this. A good "pop-corn thriller"; great for a rainy afternoon when there is nothing else to do.Movie Review: Good movie, good acting.
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I must admit I bought this movie as a Bon Jovi fan, just curious as to how Jon Bon Jovi would act in a horror movie. I was not disappointed. The only downfall to this movie is the fact that the fake blood was a bit overabundant. Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
