Being one of my first Marvel Comic movies to view, I had a mission to be as honest as I can about this movie because I was never really into the whole comic book era. I never did Pokemon, Magic The Gathering (although I did go to a couple of tournaments that friends were competing in). I am a Texas Hold em loving, basketball playing, money making entrepreneur that loves to write about and watch movies. As far as I know, I didn’t think I was ever going to like this movie. I did though.

Wesley Snipes stars in this amazing vampire film as a hybrid (or half vampire/half man). He is a tatooed, vampire killing, machine so to speak. He can walk the streets during the daytime with other daywalkers (or normal humans) while killing vampires at night. Most blogs that I have read out there are telling everyone to stay away from this movie but I am actually a firm believer that this film was made for the big screen. I dont know if its a great DVD or not, but its definately worth seeing if you have not yet. It even involves Dracula, so how can you say no?

There are a lot of things that I would say take away from the movie. Cheap sets, really bad lighting that you actually see throughout the trilogy. I think thats pretty much the worst part of the movie, is the lighting. I think this movie would have been badass if it bad been put on a brighter set. I mean I know this movie is supposed to be dark and all, but not all the time. Its worse than Underworld when it comes to being dark the whole time.
