never heard of it... but in the movie do they speak english or russian?

I prefer to only watch movies that I understand.. reading what there saying just takes the enjoyment out of 'watching' a movie.

ahh well see that would annoy me.. Hearing the people in the movie talking in russian yet subtitles at the bottom.. annoying.. I don't understand how people can sit through a movie like that.

yeah i saw it a while back...i expected a lot from it...and was a bit dissapointed...i thought the theme had so much potential; an antient battle between the forces of light and dark, it could have been epic...unfortunately it all got lost in a mundane story and by focusing on the "chosen one" even thought we never get to see just what's so special about him....all the special characters with awesome powers never got to show them on screen...sure they were suposed to be witches and shape shifters and vampires, but all we got to see , for the most part, was ordinary people...

hey, there's nothing wrong with how I feel/think about those types of movies.. I just don't like hearing something I don't understand and having to read the movie.. it sucks.. I'd rather read the book.

sure there's something wrong with that...it means you're narrow minded, egocentric and dumb...d'uh!! keep going through life with no contact with other cultures and languages....you'll experience sooo fucking much being locked up in you little hick world somewhere in upstate Nu york...
