Leave your thoughts about Day Watch.
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe story could easily bog down in its mix of cumulative incident and complicated interpersonal drama. But with Bekmambetov at the helm, it's a high-energy blast. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonWith what seems to be a freer hand and a bigger budget, Bekmambetov returns with an even slicker, faster-paced and funnier take on the black magical sub-castes born in the novels of Sergei Lukyanenko and Vladimir Vasiliev. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordSurprisingly, Day Watch ups the ante with preposterously entertaining plot lines and fewer mind blowing effects [than the first]. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikAnswers the eternal question: The world will not end in fire or ice but by a yo-yo. |
| Newark Star-LedgerLisa RoseIt's a playful, surrealistic antidote to standard genre entertainment. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanIt relates to Night Watch the way X2 relates to X-Men: you need to have seen the earlier film to have a hope of following the plot, but it's a bigger, deeper, more exhilarating ride. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunDay Watch is fast and furious and larded with bizarre laughs, and given its ending, we really can't wait to see what happens in Dusk Watch, the third installment. |
| CHUDDevin FaraciBekmambetov mostly keeps his story moving forward on the back of his immensely likable protagonist, played by Konstantin Khabensky. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex RobertsDay Watch, like Night Watch, doesn't take itself seriously, one of its chief charms. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsAt 2 hours and 20 minutes, this zippy follow-up to Night Watch delivers a killer pace, blasts of heavy-metal, vexed characters, and gory allegory wherein occult terrorists suck blood, cast spells and escape to a spooky zone known as the Gloom. |
