Enjoyable sci-fi flick-great action and tension
By K. Sozaeva
This was a highly gratifying movie. Now, mind you, it has little to do with the book series outside of the same characters – it was (very, extremely) loosely adapted from the latter share of the “Night Watch” novel, so don’t suppose it to at all relate to “Day Watch” the book. Like the introductory movie, there was a lot of outstanding action and looking at Anton get his butt kicked all over the place – which hey, that’s why we love him, right? Not to mention the whole scene at Yegor’s party. But you’ll have to watch it to see that – it’s just a good thing the old witch wasn’t keeping a grudge after her 12 years in the zoo as a toad (definitely HAVE to WATCH IT *grin*).

We watched it in Russian with the subtitles. They weren’t as much a part of the movie as the original – but they still from time to time were invented so be a portion of the scenery.

(EDIT): After watching the added features, I am even more impressed with this movie. The birthday party scene was filmed in a most distinguishable manner. The conductor merely rounded up a bunch of persons (if I recall correctly, it was a business conference) and gave them free feed and drink. After a couple of hours, when every one was nice and buzzed, they started filtering in the actors and filming. This sort of off-the-cuff manner of filming was an enormous peril but it remunerated off brilliantly – most of the people in that scene, in the background, are actually just people at a party, doing what persons at a party do. I was VERY impressed! (/EDIT)

Fans of good sci-fi/action/thrillers will take pleasure in this, as will people who enjoyed the original movie. If you haven’t yet read the books, do watch the movies FIRST; which is pretty much good counsel for any movie adapted from a book. But still a high rating from me for this movie!

Great Story, Good Movie, Bad DVD
By Nautonnier
I loved Night Watch and I think this film is a great wrap up to everyone’s story arc. I saw both in the theater and purchased the DVDs as soon as they came out. However, for me, the animated subtitles are in regards to 1/4 of the fun. It makes it feel like a comic book and just gives it that edge. So why oh why did Fox not release that version for the DVD? I find it baffling that an individual made the decision to not include them even as an option. Fox DVDs have been a mixed bag as of late and I think I will stop buying them sight unseen and rather rent them original to see if the DVD is good. It is ominous that Fox is so inconsistent in the quality of their releases.

Good, but note
By Jazz
Very intersting looking movie with very introductory special effects. Unfortunatly unless these discs are pirated, the legal Russian release does not incorporate and english dub or english subtitles. There are plans I’ve heard to fetch the second movie in this trilogy to America, now only if they’d release Final Watch in Russia. That’ll probably occur summer 2007 I suppose.
