Well, I'd be happy with a reduction in swearing. The screenwriter must have thought that vampires saying "Motherf--ker" was all edgy and mature. It just sounded juvenile.KillerMidget said:

My problem is mainly with the way that scene was shot: There's a close-up of the girl's face as an incredibly fake disintegration effect takes place. A silhouette or discretion shot would have increased the impact a lot more. Or they could have made the scene more like Blade's sunlight execution. Now that was nasty.Tjaeden said:
Oh yeah, that scene with the soldier was brilliant. "I feel fine-" *projectile vomits green, lumpy milk* Talk about silly. XD
Agreed. As a fan of the Matrix trilogy, and as a Danny Boyle fan, I went in expecting great things from Daybreakers. It wasn't quite what I expected, but good nonetheless. In fact, the only thing I didn't like was the ending, I reckon that the ending could have been polished a fair bit. But the rest of it was good, especially the little sub plot with the Big Bad's daughter (who was pretty hot, I feel I need to add). It added extra depth to his character, not to mention the subsequent Heel Face Turn and character development of the good dude's brother...Julianking93 said:

she was turned into a vampire? Obviously that wore off when she became one of the mutated freak vamps, but when she was drinking her own blood in that little room and everything, I still found her pretty attractive...
I must be a pretty sick guy
You're not sick, I thought she was still hot then too.Trivun said:Oh yes indeed. What does it say bout me that I still found her attractive somewhat afterJulianking93 said:

Like you said, I too thought highly of it after watching Movie Bob's review, especially since we seem to see eye to eye on what we look for in a movie. However I was disappointed for the most part. Some of the things were cool, like the cars that have a daytime mode or whatever it was called and all the the gadgets that were invented but it felt slow moving. I don't know if it was from actual exhaustion or not being that interested in the movie, but I almost fell asleep at most parts. Not to mention the entire thing was pretty much a giant metaphor about the oil industry.
It just didn't deliver anything. I didn't feel connected the characters, the plot snailed along, the ending was the cliche "drive into the sunset leaving it open for a sequel" (which there will be one, from what I've heard).

when that one vamp comes in and shoots all the vamps that turned human, and then suddenly Dafoe shoots a stake into the vamps heart. when the camera was doing the close up shot of Dafoe holding the crossbow, my brother and his friend both turned to each other and said "it's just been revoked". I laughed my ass off XD.
