Night Watch

To me this movie was just another movie that I have seen a hundred times here. I didn't notice very much about this movie because I was still shocked to see something that almost fits the description of a normal movie in the USA. I guess what I'm trying to say is I liked the fact that it was normal, but I didn't like the fact that it was exactly like every other fantasy movie I have seen. 

This movie seemed like it was just a mix of many movies that have been filmed here in the U.S.. Movies that came to mind when watching this movie were, The Matrix, any of The Lord of the Ring movies, the Underworld, and Mortal Kombat. 
The first thing I noticed in this film was the scene where he is killing the fetus. Maybe I'm just crazy but it almost exactly resembles the scene where Neo meets with the Oracle in the matrix. weird, something is successful in the United States...LETS STEAL IT AND TRY IT HERE.
Next, the fight scene at the beginning and in the end resembled the scenes in lord of the ring. everything from swordplay to the interesting details on the armor.
It is a vampire movie just like the Underworld and to me the storyline is the same. both sides, good and evil are chasing after one character because this character is the answer to their wildest dreams or something like that. 
All of the birds and lightning and tornado's and lords remind me of mortal kombat. I haven't seen that movie in quite some time though so that part of Night Watch was rather enjoyable for me

I also enjoyed the special effects....this is the first time in the term that we have seen a movie with some nice special effects.
