CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Parasite Reviews Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, 'Day Watch' will leave you in a state of constant confusion masked with a barrage of unique cinematography. Attempts to keep up with the muddled plot line will be found in vain for most in this realm of witches, bloodsuckers, and changelings. Director Timur Bekmambetov utilizes every ounce of creativity to overcome the narrative's disarray but ultimately failed in 'Day Watch'.Bekmambetov created something that will entertain throughout due to striking cinematography, but ultimately fail to pull itself out of the depths of mediocrity.

rooprect I saw Night Watch on a whim a year ago and thought it was pretty good. Not good enough to rush out & buy Day Watch immediately, but a good flick. Well that was my mistake.I'm here to tell you that Day Watch is such an impressive experience that you MUST rush out and watch it immediately after seeing Night Watch. In the history of cinema, very few sequels have been as good as the first. The Empire Strikes Back is one. The Silence of the Lambs is another. Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan oh hayell yes. And DAY WATCH.The budget clearly got a shot of steroids after the success of the first, and this is evident in very slick, heart pumping CGI scenes. Funny I was never one for car chases but there's one here which alone is worth the price of admission. It involves a car driving on the side of a skyscraper, how cool is that.But believe it or not, it wasn't the flashy effects and excitement that really got my attention. It's the way the characters were more confident, more human, and more charismatic than the first. This led to much humor, sentimentality, and a very powerful love story--none of which detracted from the pace and action. In fact this is an excellent example of how breaks for humor and sentiment can greatly augment the momentum of a film.A word of caution to the English-speaking audiences. The subtitles, while adequate, do not cover all the dialogue. So if you have trouble keeping up with the plot, there's your culprit. I watched it with subtitles and managed to hold on, but I was left with a few questions. I've since been told that this is one of the few movies where dubbed English is the best way to watch it. I dunno about that; I've never been a fan of dubbing because you lose the original actors' performances. But it's up to you.The latest news I heard is that the third installment "Dusk Watch" has been scrapped. Although that would be a sad development indeed, I'm not too broken up simply because I thought that Day Watch wrapped things up beautifully and no more needs to be said. All the same, I hope this director and his troupe continue to make more films of this calibre in the future.

WakenPayne Night Watch by all means is a very good way of entertainment - Day Watch is the same thing, almost. This movie has some strange parts in it (eg, Anton and Olga body swapping) which is the only point of negativity that I will say about it.The Idea of The Chalk Of Fate might sound cheezy, it has some very good relevance to the plot and one time it is used makes me believe there will be no sequel (where can they go from Anton reversing everything that happened in both films?). The Character Development like the original is almost top notch, it makes Zavulon more of a prick than in the first one.Now I am responding to hated it reviewers that call it the worst movie ever made - These people have not seen Night Watch. Viewing Night Watch will make sense of this movie and therefore this movie will make no sense if you don't view the original, for a fantasy film expect that.

Maz Murdoch (asda-man) "Night Watch" was an enjoyable action fantasy with a slap of horror dashed in for good measure. Although the special effects were outstanding, they did take away from any sort of plot that was going on, which was already extremely difficult to follow. "Day Watch" attempts to make the plot even more confusing, but still remains almost as enjoyable as the first.The main problem here is the story, I didn't know where we were going or who people were half the time. I don't know whether this was down to the Russian names, or crazy plotting with "the chalk of faith" but I found it difficult to follow, however I did manage just to keep on track with what was going on. Like "Night Watch", "Day Watch" carries those same stupendous special effects that sometimes just took my breath away (car on wall- cough) which means that although the story was a bit loose, at least you could enjoy the better than average special effects that my eyes really enjoyed (they told me)."Day Watch" doesn't take itself too seriously. Which is good because if it did, it would be unintentionally funny, and is a breath of fresh air. Part of "The Matrix" problem was that it took itself way too seriously, so it just became this mega confusing, silly farce. "Day Watch" knows that it's completely insane and so just runs with it. A man can go into a woman's body, a man can wear someone's face, and you just don't care! "Day Watch" is also quite funny. I didn't think that I'd get it's Russian sense of humour, but luckily it rubbed off from the first instalment."Day Watch" not only has great action sequences, but it does occasionally have great tender moments. I really like Anton's character (not the one of Big Brother) he's interesting, and so is his relationship with his son. I know that I made out that "Day Watch" is completely hard to follow throughout, but there are actually emotional moments in their which humanise the surroundings. The editing is frantic and unusual, which seriously makes the pacing go through he roof! "Day Watch" may sit at almost 2hrs but it never gets dull.I have a few complaints however. I missed the animated subtitles that were in "Night Watch". They were compelling in itself to watch and made everything even more lively than it was. Maybe they didn't put them in because the pacing and editing is even more frantic than "Night Watch" but I missed them. I also felt really cheated with the ending. I'm not going to spoil it, but it seemed like a cop-out and made me feel that me watching "Night Watch" and "Day Watch" was a waste of time. Hopefully they'll resolve this problem when the third one comes out, but I'm not a happy bunny! I didn't think "Day Watch" was as good as the "Night Watch", the story sort of got lost and it's easy for you to get lost amidst the fantasy any-thing-goes narrative. And although the ending did seem like a complete cop-out and a waste of time, just sit back and enjoy the mind-blowing special effects, incredibly paced editing and exciting action. If you did quite enjoy "Night Watch" (like me) then you probably will quite like "Day Watch".
