Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
SnoopyStyle Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) is a New Orleans detective who deals with supernatural creatures. Marcus (Sam Huntington) is his assistant. Elizabeth (Anita Briem) tries to hire him to investigate his father's murder but he refuses. He recognizes it as a werewolf attack. He tries to work with vampire leader Vargas (Taye Diggs). Marcus is killed by a werewolf.I like the concept of this supernatural world loosely adopted from an Italian comic book. I don't really like Routh as this character. He's more of a pretty face with comedic leanings. He needs to be more of a hard-boiled tough detective. The budget is also not big enough for its goals. It looks more like a B-movie. The action could be better. Overall, I like the concept but the execution is not great.
William Russell "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" could easily be compared to a movie on the SyFy channel. The visual effects were lackluster, and the chemistry between actors was inadequate. However entertaining, "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" is like a dessert that had been prepared with every ingredient imaginable. We all know the outcome will not taste good. Overall, besides the near constant creature violence and disturbing imagery, there is some rough language sprinkled throughout the script, a comparatively mild sex scene. The movie's weird, and at times morbid - sense of humor is out of place and is probably better written on the page of a comic book. There are several reasons why the film did not do good in box offices, one being that not many people had ever heard of this character and there were a select few that had read the comics or had heard of him through the advertising (honestly, this film's advertisements didn't do it any justice) who had gone to the theaters to see this. Another reason being the fact that Brandon Routh really needs to consider re-entering acting school or something, because every single movie I've seen him in I have regretted seeing. I came apron this film on Netflix instant (I own an Apple TV). It was categorized under super-hero films, I had seen the advertisements, and heard critic's and fan's mixed reviews, so I decided to check it out. Honestly, It wasn't a waste of time, so therefore I think it's underrated by critics, however it definitely had room for improvement (as do many movies). I believe that my rating is accurate - it doesn't deserve anything above or below a 6/10.
frankbald I just don't understand why these producers needed to do this movie. Dylan Dog is not worldwide famous, so you are going to adapt it from the comics to a movie you do it only for the real supporters and they would like the most faithful transposition possible. And this way maybe other people would have been curious and willful to discover Dylan. Instead they made this bad movie, with a really awful ending, without soul, and totally distant from the atmosphere of the comics. I wonder also how the Italian editors and creators gave the permission to do it and why they didn't even try to make a good story. I think they should have written directly the script giving also strict rules to follow to be totally near the real Dylan. I think they gave up all of this for money and that's really sad
supernatural136 I don't understand the terrible reviews on this movie. It wasn't absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen, it actually was pretty good, I even laughed quite a few times. I had honestly never heard of the comic before I read about it in one review (Yeah yeah, stupid Americans, I know), and I only watched the movie because I figured it had to be a little good if it had a main character that hot. In truth, Brandon Routh did not give the best performance in this movie. He showed almost no emotion the entire movie. I mean, I think I would do a little more than sulk quietly and half-heartedly kick some inanimate objects if my best friend was murdered. Speaking of the best friend, Sam Huntington is absolutely the best part in Dylan Dog. His character is funny, witty, and not exactly happy about being a zombie. He was the only reason I laughed. Anita Briem, whom I immediately recognized from her poor performance alongside Brendan Fraser in Journey to The Center of the Earth, lived up to my low expectations. She tries hard to pull off her secretly evil character, but in the end her acting falls flat. Overall, you will probably enjoy this movie just because of the funny zombie parts, or just because its the genre it is, but don't expect an major wows or exciting plot twists.
