Fairly good, but I probably will not buy it when it comes out on DVD. The scenes were good, very evocative at times, and really did capture much of the 'Gothic Punk' <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> atmosphere; I'll have to remember a lot of them when I run Vampire next time.  Nope, didn't like Kraven. The actor.. just didn't give me that sense of ambition mingled with fear at losing his position that I thought he'd have. And I didn't really like some of the scenes with Victor; all stately elegance at times, others, just.. odd. The final combat scene was... somewhat anticlimatic to me. I like Michael, I like Selene.  [SPOILER]The #1 thing that keeps it from being more that 'that was cool' in my opinion was that they break their own rules. They go to all the trouble to get the Elder blood, but then Selene's bite does the same work. Selene says, when she still thinks Micheal is human, that biting him would just kill him. Yet she was made a vampire by Victor (Unclear on this; maybe only Elders can turn people, but the blonde chick seems to think Selene is capable turning him when Mike is first brought to the mansion). The lycans forget their amazing 'UV bullets' in the final battle. (OK, I could give them that if they were truly using the WoD; WoD werewolves are not great tacticians). [/SPOILER] Again, like several other movies I've seen, it looks like about five minutes of exposition got left on the floor somewhere.</blockquote>
