[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3863707, member: 710"] The first movie had a few problems, but I liked it a lot. So "lot" in fact that I bought the books (which took forever to translate) and found them good and entertaining reads. I looked forward to Day Watch, and eventually it appeared in German cinemas. So I went out and saw it. I was disappointed. I still don't see it as a total failure, but the movie was too confusing - especially the end. The books usually had a background plot the reader and the first person narrator didn't get until the end, but the movies seem to have a plot that nobody ever gets. I read somewhere that Russian Movies are supposed to be "too artsy", which is why they get rarely translated/dubbed and exported? Maybe Day Watch was a bit of a fallback to this time? I still think it was worth seeing, but I probably wouldn't go out and _buy_ the DVD - maybe rent them. [/QUOTE]
