I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Sometimes you just want to watch swirly long coats and slow-mo martial arts set in post-apocalyptic landscapes of searing desert sands and the ghosts of our destroyed civilisation, don't you? This film is gorgeous to look at; from the cross tattoos on the priests' faces, to the retro wild west costumes, it's a highly stylised visual treat. The vampires were malignant, vicious amalgams: Aliens meets The Descent. Paul Bettany makes a convincing lead: the near-silent loaner on a mission. You basically have to put all logic to one side and not think too deeply about the plot of this film. Just go with it for the visuals, the action, the pace and some impressive special effects.

Bearable Action Scenes with absolutely NO story at all.the Bike is one such challenge to be built, with Turbine beneath the Seatthe beginning plot and opening background build up sets high hopes but turns out exactly the opposite. the Movie falls off even before it could even gain some momentum.History of the Comic strip made me watch it, and with such a story, I can only imagine what the Comic series goes all about.Lead Cast is fine, only if he had chosen a better movie to play to Lead than this.

My quick rating - 5,9/10. Now that is a fun movie. A "Priest" is basically the badasses who protect the city in a post-apocalyptic city that is run by religious radicals. They are walled into the city to keep away from the vampires that live outside the walls that supposedly had all been terminated. But these aren't your every day vampires, they are mutated and don't have interest in romantic bites to turn you into one of them. basically they want you dead. After a "priest" (Paul Bettany" has his niece kidnapped, he goes looking for her and confronts the whole band of vampires. A fun action/scifi ish movie that just goes all over the board in the action department. Definitely worth watching and strangely flew under my radar until now. If the story itself wasn't so convoluted it would score higher so check reality at the door and grab your ninja crucifix throwing stars and you will enjoy the bloody romp through this interesting world.

Set some where in what appears is a post apocalyptic future after a war between vampires and humans has ended in an apparent victory for the humans through the use of a vampire fighting sect of the church called Priests. Once victory seems achieved the Priests are no longer needed and are discarded, placed in very menial jobs if they can find anything at all. Just like the history of the Catholic church of our world. One surviving Priest disobeys the edicts of the church when his brother and his wife are slaughtered in a vampire raid and his niece, oops his daughter, is stolen. She is stolen to do just what has occurred. Turns out a Priest has been turned by a queen vampire. Another Priestess joins him and stops a train full of vampires and larvae(?) by blowing it off the tracks. This wipes out the vampire threat for now. In the end, while the church hierarchy ignores the threat, the remaining Priests get the word out and are to meet at a certain point. Will there be a sequel, I hope so.
