For the vampire movie series "Tales of the Night", I still like it. Gorgeous action scenes, dark environment settings, cool plot rhythms, and Kate Beckinsale, a sexy goddess who is always dressed in leather pants, how can you not like this series. However, this year's new work "Tales of the Night 5: Blood War" has not performed as well as it should be.
The story of "Tales of the Night 5: Blood War" is very simple, so simple that it feels like a blank look, the film is 91 minutes long, but minus the subtitle time at the end of the film, the movie is less than 80 minutes, and the most terrifying thing is that many of the lines and shots in the film are used to make time.
The goddess of leather pants has become a wanderer, and both werewolves and vampires are hunting her down.
At the beginning of the movie story, she is chased by a group of werewolves, she deliberately stops, deliberately stands still, is shot by them, deliberately abused and beaten for a while, and then begins to offer a wonderful fight scene, which is a far-fetched setting. In fact, at the beginning of the movie, I already knew that this movie was coping, but it didn't matter, the leather pants goddess played so handsome and sexy was the point.
The focus of the story is still the precious blood and precious daughter of the leather pants goddess, and the werewolves and vampires around the world think of nothing, thinking about the blood and daughter of the leather pants goddess every day, which is the basis of the dramatic conflict of the story.
The werewolf and the vampire continue to fight, when a very strong man appears among the werewolves, and a black woman appears among the vampires. The strong man is bent on catching the baby daughter of the leather pants goddess, and the black woman in the belly wants to drink the blood of the leather pants goddess, and these two villains are simply a natural pair.
The story is actually a vampire fighting inside, fighting with a werewolf, and then it's basically over, a bit boring. However, Kate Beckinsale's performance in the film is still so charming, hot, cool, crisp and clean, which is really the biggest highlight of the movie.
In addition to the weak plot, the biggest mistake of this film is that the sense of rhythm is too poor, such as in the final battle, the time to be simple is too long, and the time to spend more time is particularly hasty. Take the kind of bullet that will glow, this slow motion is completely unnecessary to engage in more than ten seconds, and when the leather pants goddess and the strong werewolf duel, it is particularly hasty, the leather pants goddess was beaten wildly, and then came to a fast movement without suspense to get the werewolf, the climax is too simple.
In 2003, the first "Legend of the Night" came out, which surprised the film world, and was also amazed by Kate Beckinsale, the leather pants goddess at the peak of her appearance.
The second "Tales of the Night 2: Evolution" was released in 2006, quite popular, the whole film is a fierce fight, fast and bloody, cool to the explosion, the leather pants goddess also offered a passion scene.
In the third part, the leather pants goddess did not appear, and this one was directly skipped. In the fourth part of "Tales of the Night 4: Awakening", the leather pants goddess returned, and she was fiercely handsome again, saving popularity.
This year, "Tales of the Night 5: Blood War", a box office and word-of-mouth double punch, the lowest income of the series of movies, the street has become a series of movies of shame and humiliation. Perhaps, this classic vampire series of movies has come to an end.
