I didn’t get very far in before I threw my hands up in disgust.

This immediately comes off as a Christian propaganda film. Girl has doubts in JEEEESUSSSSS, is uncomfortable with her friends being called bad, learns they are bad, they do bad things.. then JEEEESUSSSSS and she was totally wrong and the true way was always god and stuff and praise the lord and by the way did I say praise the lord because totes praise him.

I didn’t stick around to get into that last bit. Maybe it’s a dark crime comedy and stuff, but fucked if I’m going to continue watching.

  • The “just like a video game” thing should be fucking illegal to put into a movie.

The son of a demon king, destined to destroy the world and all humanity, is just an average guy in a difficult relationship trying to save the world. Or something.

A forgettable movie made all the more terrible because of its attachment to its parent. This movie lacks anywhere near that movie’s theme or mood. This is a joke semi-fantasy film.

An unaged man without a memory is sent by a secret multifaith order of monster hunters as the last hope of a lineage doomed to purgatory unless they slay the lord of all vampires.

Not a great or bad movie, but still good enough to be worth watching. It’s mostly interesting because of its main character, and the rest of it is piecemeal and without particular substance.

I think this movie was my initial introduction to Kate Beckinsale, and it turns out she’s a lot hotter in my memory than in this actual movie. Maybe she was better-presented in the next movies of hers that I saw after this.

An interpretation of the story of Esther.

Fair at best. Seems horribly ‘biased’.

An abortion clinic worker with a special heritage is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loop-hole and reenter Heaven.

I can’t remember anything about this. I may watch it again one day. I don’t recall disliking it.
