Really liked the movie. Pretty damn good performances all around, though Bill Nighy still runs this show. My only complaint is how this movie completely mitigates and destroys the legitimacy of the first movie's plot.
just came back from seeing the movie.
i thought it was an over-glorified romeo and juliet rendition with dozen or so vampires and a legion of "werewolves" thrown into the blend. the acting from the two main leads was either overly dramatic or lacking in caliber. (i've seen both perform better in other films... or at least the female. not sure what else the male was in other than the first installment.). the movie, itself, was overpowered by its sense of "this needs to be epically grand, which must be highlighted with a drowning score in the background." i was slightly disappointed with the dialogue, considering i thought the dialogue in the previous films were rather sharp and edgy. the plot was entirely predictable, which, i guess, is to be expected. titanic syndrome and all that. the characters acted the way they were suppose to. kind of cliche really.
yet, despite its numerous flaws, the movie still had its appeal. at least to me. there were several familiar faces i thought were interesting to observe and watch as their stories unfold. the film looked good with its gothic feel and texture. i don't know. i-i kind of enjoyed it... oddly enough. 😕 i'm not sure if its the lure or magnetism of the tragic romance that i, as a female, inherently find appealing or what. its frustrating being a female at times.

Selene's family was killed by Victor in order to hide the secret of William's tomb; he happened to let her live because of the looks-like-my-dead-daughter thing, iirc.
We assumed that he killed them right after the job was completed and William was sealed away, as that would make the most logical sense; it's possible he could have killed them some time after. Though I agree this is still somewhat of a plot-hole, it's not without some merit.

So can anyone explain to me just how in the hell:Spoiler:of the first movie that he needed Michael's blood to become a hybrid in order to kill Viktor?
Lucian beat Viktor's ass? Wasn't the [b]entire point

She was killed by the time of their duel, yes. But when you see the movie, you'll come to find that Lucian and Viktor truly and deeply loathe one another; so while Lucian was pissed, so was Viktor. Each of them blame the other for Sonja's death.
Viktor had the upper hand for most of the fight, but not as much as you'd expect.
