   I would say that it is an excellent movie. Very dark, very Russian, and in that extremely unique.

   This has a very tongue in cheek quality to it...the visuals are great and story is simple but enough to keep things moving. The writers need to figure out how to make the us care about the characters and the ending was a perfectly wrapped present? Dusk Watch is coming, so there should have been an arc in the storyline w/ a great cliffhanger, not that messy can of worms. See it on video.… Expand

   Day Watch seems far more comfortable with itself and confident in what it is trying to achieve than Night Watch was. A high-octane supernatural thriller in every sense, the film is action-packed, engaging and more than a little bit weird. Once again Konstantin Khabensky is great as Anton, an unusual yet layered and compelling protagonist, and the personal emotional journey he undergoes over the course of the film's narrative is affecting. Viktor Verzhbitsky is also fantastic as Zavulon, an understated, chilling villain. Other characters and performances in Day Watch make far less of an impact, though thankfully they don't make extended appearances as the story generally remains focused on Anton, his estranged son Yegor (played by the talented young Dmitriy Martynov) and Zavulon, who seeks to corrupt the boy and use his newly discovered destructive powers for evil. Like the first film, Day Watch still becomes incredibly confusing in the film's final act, but you'll have a pretty good (if a little narratively dense and drawn out) time regardless. Director Timur Bekmambetov has really stepped things up in terms of his artistic vision, and the film's visual splendour puts even some recent high-concept American features to shame. Russia might be a country to watch in terms of blockbuster filmmaking over the next few years, even if they can't quite compete with Hollywood yet.… Expand

   I can't understand how people are giving this good scores, the dialogue in the movie is 100% cringe-worthy and EXTREMELY awkward, it takes cheesy to another level. The movie itself is absolutely nonsensical, and just plain strange, it's not even a bit interesting. This is why Russia should NOT be making movies for audiences outside of Russia. Half way through it got so awkward that I decided to just give up and stop watching… Expand
