Movie Reviews of Vampires - Los Muertos
Movie Review: VAMPIRES: LOS MUERTOS
Summary: 3 Stars
Once again, John Carpenter hands the reigns to his friend, Tommy Lee Wallace, who manages to churn out a somewhat crap-tastic "sequel" to John Carpenter's Vampires. I put quotes around the word sequel because virtually none of the first film's characters return, and really only the title and basic mythos of the earlier film comes into play. That said, Wallace manages to make Carpenter's Vampires look like the icon of classy vampire horror (and it was FAR from perfect). This one is ridiculously violent right from the start (in an unintentionally comedic way), and it also manages some very poor performances, shoddy production values, and a lackluster plotline that has more holes than a sewer grating. The score, however, deserves honorable mention - it's excellent. So is all of this entertaining? Well, yes, actually it is. Bad movies can be fun too, after all, and Los Muertos is a BAD movie in the best sense of the word. And it's not all laughable either - it's actually possible to get lost in the midst of the cheesiness and truly enjoy yourself for a while, depending on your own personal tastes. If you're a sucker for vampire movies especially (no pun intended), by all means, give Los Muertos a go.
Movie Review: Really 3.5 but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a surprise for me as I didn't think Jon BonJovi could follow up James Woods performance. I was wrong and that was why it took so long for me to watch this! True BonJovi is no James Woods granted. This really is a decent film. The action was good and had OK special effects. But don't go into this movie with the high standards of James Woods and John Carpenter (even if he did produce the film) fogging your vision. Enjoy it as a seperate entry to the 'series'.
As for previous reviews on this and the many other video's here on Amazon, there will be both good and bad ones and that is great. This forum provides a place where people who have not seen the film can make their own opinions and make a decision based upon what they read. However, when some people start trashing the film without even seeing it, they need to grow up and look at what they review before opening up their pieholes.
Thanks for reading my review! :)
Movie Review: Lost in Mexico
Summary: 3 Stars
What to say about this movie. As a story line, I really liked what the intention of the movie was about. As the actual movie, I felt there was just a bit too much time spent getting Bon Jovi's crew together and not on really developing the story like it was done in the first movie. In the first movie, we got the chance to know the history behind the vampire and what he was after. This one seemed touched lightly on the topic, and from that point on it was like you were expected to guess what was going on, rather than developing it fully. There were some pretty silly mistakes made too that just seemed unrealistic for their part in the movie.Still, if you can follow along and see through all of Bon Jovi's head shots and the skipping around to find the real story as it develops, its not a bad flick.
Movie Review: Typical B Movie, Nothing More
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie is good until the last 20 minutes. The problem is the main vampire is supposed to strong and powerful, but it comes to Bon Jovi and his pack of hunters its seems them powers are gone. Also the main vampire is pretty stupid as she falls for there tricks, as when Bon Jovi says "come out I want to talk to you." OK, Even when The vampire kid naps the priest, that whole part was stupid to.Another problem with the movie is you don't know anything about the main vampire's character. Where did she come from? How etc. This is just a typical movie, there isn't no depth in the storyline and it has your typical B Movie ending, we're chasing some powerful vampire, which can't hurt us and everything goes our way, the end. The first one was better.
Movie Review: 100 Words on "Vampires - Los Muertos"
Summary: 3 Stars
"Vampires: Los Muertos", a sequel to John Carpenter's 1998 hit "Vampires", is one more fine film in the Jon Bon Jovi canon. This time around, Jon plays a vampire slayer who has his hands full saving the world deep in the heart of Mexico. While it re-uses many of the elements from the first movie, and borrows one major plot point from Kathryn Bigelow's "Near Dark", the script has enough going for it to be an enjoyable way to waste an hour and a half. And, of course, Jon shows that his two years of acting classes paid off.
