this movie be way over hyped . i try to get into it twice before i finally force myself to watch it all the way through . i understand why it be notice in america and though . it present like a typical hollywood sandwich represent one side slather with sloppy special effect and the other with fast paced action sequence . drop the matrix and saw and and underworld in a blender and this be what you get . the story feel contrive and be too convolute for it own good . many of the scene be loosely connect to one another and make the story hard to follow . use exist mythological archetype ( vampire and witch and etc . ) be a fine attempt at help the audience accept the other world present by the story and but crack at freshness be mostly failure . nothing in this movie feel original . i do not hate this movie and but i do not think it worth watch either . i have see it do before and i have see it do well .
