... View MoreBest movie of this year hands down!
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreDylan 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.
... View MoreI am a huge Dylan Dog fan. I started reading the comics since I was 10, and if anyone who is a DD fan is considering watching this film, don't do it. Just don't. Do yourself a huge favor and don't. There is no Gruco, there is no inspector Bloch, and the story is set not in London, but in New Orleans. Oh, and even the color and type of his car is wrong. For crying out loud it's like they were trying to do everything wrong. I have no idea how Sclavi didn't put veto on this.Everything about this film is wrong. They succeeded in ruining a perfect story.
... View MoreIn the late-80s, I had read good comments (in Fangoria, Comics Scene, Starlog, etc.) about the Italian comic Dylan Dog, but I couldn't read it until the mid-90s, thanks to the North American editions of Dark Horse...and it honestly didn't impress me very much. The combination of horror and humor was moderately likable, but the "paranormal investigator" premise had already become a cliché because of the TV series The X-Files, Millennium and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not to mention the multiple literary characters belonging to that sub-genre (the comic Hellblazer, the short stories about Harry D'Amour written by Clive Barker, the saga of The Dresden Files, etc.). And already in that time, there was the rumor of a cinematographic adaptation possibly starred by Rupert Everett, on whom artist Tiziano Sclavi was inspired for the Dylan Dog image. The production lasted for more than 10 years in order to materialize itself, until the film Dylan Dog: Dead of Night was finally made. Unfortunately, the result ended up being truly deplorable.The screenplay of Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is a bad pastiche of scenes we have already seen in Underworld, Constantine, Lord of Illusions, Blade, Night Watch and the uncountable TV series which have continued the tradition of The X-Files (such as Special Unit 2 and Fringe). And even leaving that aside, the screenplay of Dylan Dog: Dead of Night feels very boring and unnecessarily confusing.Brandon Routh completely lacks of any credibility, charisma or presence in the leading role, while Anita Briem is genuinely horrible as the femme fatale. Dylan Dog: Dead of Night also fails as an adaptation of the comic, and its visual style looks ugly and "cheap".In other words, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is atrocious as a supernatural "neo-noir", as a horror film, and as an adaptation of the comic. Don't make the same mistake I did, and avoid wasting your time and your money in this horrible experience.
... View MoreThis is a review of a film. This is a review of the film Dylan Doggy.It was good. I liked it many much. Excuse my English, am I not first language speaker. Overall the film/movie was good, but the other review make it seem bad. I liked it. It was good I think. Thank you for enjoying this review. I enjoyed making a review of a film called Dylan Dog. It was fun. And good. I have to add more lines, so here they are. It was great! NICE FILM EVERYONE!Furthermore, I would like to add that the overall tone of the film was somewhat underwhelming at times due to the unpolished acting, and possibly flawed script/storyboard. With greater actors, and writers, this film could have been excellent, however, it was not. On the other hand, the final scene with the demonic like creature seemed almost tacky, or gimmicky, and spoiled an otherwise pleasant and quirky film. More lines? Well, here they are!
