   Pros: attention getting

   Cons: a lil too much history and talking

   I have seen many vampire and werewolf movies and i have to say that at least this one is original. The fight scenes are intriguing and the plot is dark. if you like dark movies this one is for you.

   Pros: Action

   Cons: none

   This is a story about a vampire woman trapped in the middle of a battle between vampires and werewolves. Get this plot-twist; she falls for a werewolf guy! Imagine!

   This is a visual film. In most cases, rich stylization of the likes that make this film of effective is usually a movie's undoing. From the color choices to the effective use of lighting, I was attracted to how the film looked more than what the film was doing. That said, the vampire vs. werewolf deal, while silly, does hold some inherent interest for my geekier side.
   
   The performances in the film are notable considering what the actors are doing and saying. Kate Beckinsale is a good actress, and works well in the roles she has been popping up in. Unlike her role in the terrible Van Helsing (2004), her lead performance as Selene in this movie has the benefit of being a developed character. Beckinsale offers a brooding and attractive performance that manages to hold the whole piece together. Her interactions with Bill Nighly as Viktor (the ever present "original" vampire) are some of the best scenes in the whole film. Nighly presents a somewhat realistic portrayal of his character, which is saying something since this whole piece is a circus of goofiness. ...
