  • If the comic did not exist, this movie still sucks hard! comic or no it is truly terrible. the director is talented and visionary. and has yet to make anything I like. hated daywatch and nightwatch (but not as much as wanted!) cars and bullets that defy all laws of physics in completely unbelievable ways! he is way over the top and is truly style over substance. there are movies out there with very cool unbelievable stunts that still don't destroy the movie (xxx, fast and the furious, the matrix, equilibrium to name a few.) as cool as everything looks in daywatch, nightwatch, and wanted, it just ends up being waaayy too much.
