30 Days of Night

Gabrielx of House LostHaven was consulted on this, had his words turned on him and had some issues with public statements attributed to him (that he never made) regarding this film.

I like the film as a work of art. Factual accuracy is lacking, as can be expected of Hollywood. So, final verdict, 4/5 Blood Droplets.

Well, I guess as can be seen on the ol' LJ, I didn't much like it. If the concept itself weren't tired, I would've enjoyed it, but... yeah, it's been done before, and done much better.

That screechy bat-chick, though... she was kind of awesome. I was sad when she got fried, hah.

this movie pissed me off....i almost left the theater and demanded my money back. the name of it should have been totaly different...if anyone has read the graphic novel you'll know just what i'm saying. they took the concept of the novel and the names but that is it....craptacular.

granted if i had not read the graphic novel i probably would have enjoyed it....i think i'm getting tired of hollywood messing up good things.

I have to second that motion that the movie was fantastically crap. I waltzed in to see the ending by accident, and just seeing that last bit already told me it was going to be bad. It's cheesy, predictable and an over-used plotline with vampires swooping down and taking over a village / town etc and killing all humans in sight. Woop-de-doo...the vampires may have found haven in the Artic! Surely they would've discovered this centuries ago? That was the biggest flaw in the entirety of the book. Uhh... >_<

I haven't read the graphic novel and I liked it...until the end. At that point I was laughing so hard I was crying. I mean really "come here hun, let me hold you while you turn to ash" LOLfest.

Well, I do have to disagree with it being a flaw in the book. After all there are those two elders/ancients/what have you, corrisponding through email, that know what those guys are doing is a big mistake. I was most angry that they were cut out of the movie.

Factually inaccurate? In what sense?

IIRC the author of the comic wrote it specifically in order to sell movie rights (which, unless your name is Bendis, is pretty much the best way to make lots of money from writing comics anyway) . . . so complaints about big changes between the comic and film don't make sense to me.
