First, wrong forum. Moving...

Now to your question. Yes, I have seen it. The vampires didn't seem under-powered to me. Viktor choked a werewolf to death with his bare hands. It tended to be a bit too artsy at times. For instance, the werewolves would spend far too much time posing for the camera. It's hard for them to look scary when they're trying desperately to get their good side in.
And is it just me, or was this movie just really, really loud?

Personally I rather liked the movie. I love dark, gothic fantasy. Oh ...and Mrs Beckinsale helps too ( my g/f is a spitting image ).

It staggeered a bit, as it reached its conclusion ....feeling a bit like like Blade. But, still an enjoyable romp with much style.

I saw it. It wasn't a good movie, really, but for a vampire/werewolf flick it didn't suck... and that's all you can hope for with movies.

The vampires didn't heal well enough for my tastes but what can you do. It reminded me of a beginner level Vampire The Masquerade pen and paper game.

I really liked it. Then again, I really like vampires.
I thought it had a more interesting story than more recent vampire movies. I also liked how it had an alternate history when compared to your standard vampire flick.

Me 2.

I liked how the wherewolves were slaves in the storyline.

I got exactly what I expected...a Crow/Matrix ripoff in a Vampire/Whitewolf setting. Good stuff!

I have seen Water World(with Bruce Whillies) does that count???
Could be named UnderWorld too, 'cause the whole world was under water!
By the way the best movie with vampires was Drakula.

I liked Waterworld, despite a crappy name for a movie, a weak plot, and non-stellar acting. Hmm. Wonder why I liked it, again?

Oh well. I only saw it once, and it was in theatre. I guess I was expecting Mad Max on the sea, and that's mostly what it was...
