Review of Byzantium (2013) by Paul R — 28 Sep 2013
Plods along a little too slowly with some dodgy pacing and too many weak characters. Ronan was great but felt like the only real character in it. With its narration and flash backs it ended up feeling rather like a poor weaker cousin of Interview with a Vampire, one that will never live up to its charms and will ultimately be forgotten.
Overall I can't hide my disappointed as the trailer had me hooked. Never trust a trailer, I should have known. Also annoying is the only real skill these vampires have is being able to grow a long thumb nail.
.. Give me the alien faced monsters of 30 Days of Night any day of the week.
