Not as enjoyable to me as the first movie, but was still very good. Insane stunts and movement, great story, I just felt the grandness, the other world, or as to say the other side they showed so much in the first one was lost in this movie. Still though, the lead character was great, and the books are even better. Hope they make a 3rd day soon, once the director finishes with all his American movies.

A great second film in the Night Watch Trilogy.  Very different from the book but with interesting results. The second film benefits greatly from not having to overly explain itself as Night Watch had set the basic rules out well. Story revolves around the Chalk of fate - enabling history to be rewritten.  Excellent character building in this film which couldn’t be squeezed into the first due to massive back story required.  Interesting to see Svetlana & Yegor fighting for Anton.  I like the idea of the Chalk of Fate… What would you change?  Good film.  Amazing to watch.  Visually stunning and an extremely interesting and ideas packed story.

Timur Bekmambetov's sequel suffers from several problems which almost cripple the whole film. Much like the first film the narrative is drowned out by the sheer amount of exposition. Although there is a lot more character development this time around which really helps film. However there is a lighter tone that doesn't sit well and feels forced, especially the body swap aspect of the film. The film's visuals lack the inventiveness of the first and although not bad don't really impress. The main problem is that at times the film seems incoherent as the narrative jumps around so often. It almost feels like a collection of random scenes stitched together. Only fans of the original will get anything out of this.

Just as bad as the first. Loses another half a star because it's an hour longer.

Both NIGHT WATCH and DAY WATCH suffer from a general lack of coherence. While directors are often guilty of over-explaining and coddling the audience too much, Bekmambetov just plows full speed ahead with little exposition or causality. Weird events and subplots just transpire for no particular reason. It's possible that knowledge of Russian culture and folklore might fill in some of those gaps, but even so the films should be able to stand on their own.

DAY WATCH does wrap up with a pretty explosive finale that manages to tie up the main story arc very nicely. Taken as a whole the 2-film arc begins and finishes strongly - with a lot of nonsense in-between.

Disappointingly lacks any of the things that made Night Watch special but still somehow pulls itself together for a satisfying climax.

Universumin tasapaino horjuu edelleen. Erään mulkun puolenvaihto ei auta asiaa. Boris etsii liitua ja ottaa huikkaa.

Votka-huuruinen, jonka vuoksi sekavanoloinen, jatkis.

One of the weirdest films I ever saw. And the book is the same way.

Pretty poor follow up to Night Watch which unfortunately just goes too over the top.

Part of the Night Watch series. Some really cool CG. Interesting slant on the vampire theme.
