This is the sequel to Night Watch, a movie that I haven't watched and, after watching this film, I will never do.
Day Watch is a moronic senseless and pretentious film, with pedestrian acting, and good special effects. The movie is boring since the beginning, a long agony to watch through til the end. It is badly edited, with a poor direction of actors, a stupid script and clichéd images. Day Watch is a collection of film sinners that cannot be ignored, and that should be used in film schools to demonstrate what not to do when directing.
The movie, and the director, could be excused if the movie was a low budget film with amateur actors, but this is, instead, a Russian super-production with some good actors. Some bad movies really make you laugh, or at least they are entertaining, so at least you get something out of them. But this is not the case here, as the movie is pretentious and serious beyond belief even in those scenes that are supposed to be funny.
One of the worse films I have seen for a long time. It is difficult to understand why such a stupid bad film has a rating of 6.5. It is beyond belief.
The best thing about the film? The poster and special effects.
