Another simplistic example of modern film dumbing down the supernatural into a special-effects-laden emptiness of worth.
This is a supernatural version of your typical status-quo rivalry.
All vampires are prissy spoiled brats; all werewolves are poor homeless sewer-dwellers.
FORGET WHATEVER ARCANE METAPHORS EITHER OF THESE SUPERNATURAL CREATURES ACTUALLY SYMBOLIZED; just boil it down to your most basic class-struggle metaphor. Oh, and pretend that there's no magic in the supernatural. They're as vacuous as you. They have their convenient gadgets to one-up the others' clique. How magical.
Far from the mystical, mysterious cloak of legend, this movie reduces vampires and werewolves to the easy frivolity of rich versus poor.
The "mythology" of either is simplified for film purpose. Snobby vampires who apparently shop at Hot Topic and drink the equivalent of bottled water - they live in a security-laden modern palace and get blood from (how lame) hospital blood banks.
The wolves - well, you can't like them because they're not fashionable- (and the movie really doesn't care to develop them) - they have no appeal either (assuming we're supposed to like the spoiled-brat vampires, or the personality-free "heroine").
Wow, that Kate Beckinsale sure can jump off buildings! Over and over again. And then some more.
You really get a sense that someone liked "the Matrix" a bit too much, copied the style, pitched it, but no one (surprise) wanted to produce it. So, LAST MINUTE, they decided, "Okay, how about if the bad guys are werewolves! and the good guys are vampires!...please!!!"
And someone, as dumb as you, actually bought it.

I REALLY didn't give a d*mn!!!!!
I watched this as a child with my parents who wanted to introduce me to the classics. I fell asleep then.
Much like Dickens, I realized later that this was something to re-examine, post-education. I was fully in a mindset of eager treasure-hunting, film-wise (I assumed I'd appreciate this as the "masterpiece" it's said to be), but sadly I realized that, while this is a good film, it's certainly not worthy of the time-honored accolades it's amazingly managed to accumulate.
As an American History major, I appreciate the period. The characters are, however, thinly-drawn caricatures trapped in a lingering melodrama.
The acting is over-the-top, unconvincing. The interpersonal relationships are soap-opera material at best.
Too many people simply assume that, just because a film is an epic LENGTH, it's an actual epic. The wasted sequences of pomp are overwhelmingly unnecessary and yawn-worthy. Nearly detestable.
Much like "It's a Wonderful Life," this film wastes a multitude of your life ( and expectation) on minutae; seems void of competent editing, yet STILL MANAGES TO BE UNINVOLVING!
I tried to enjoy it! These characters remain unrelatable, despite so much extraneous camera time. Nothing timeless here.
I really tried, but I just didn't give a d*mn.

Life Time TV corny pseudodrama geared at men.
Same old cheese from the TV movie flashback perspective...
The loving, Hallmarky spouse and kids waiting at home (our protagonist wishes he'd spent more time with them, boohoo) and before that, just how the love connection ever even happened (Awwww!), cut to the buddy relationships; the stereotypical non-effort of how everyone bonded over drunken sentiment and now thy're friends forever.
Corny TV-movie melodrama with a bigger budget.
Let's not forget the overall drama - your womany movie of the week, just some genius decided this formula could adapt more profitably to the big screen if, instead of the Damsel-in-Distress, how about someone more interesting as the damsel (and firemen are of course infinitely more fascinating and respected than housewives), Hey! how about a man?
He can be the formulaic copy! - in simple dramas like this, everyone's a stereotype anyway!- Just use a sentimental fireman instead of a sentimental woman - It'll work! Guys will even like it!
Just don't bother with this. I mean (REALLY) Guess what happens. Then wait a couple months and catch it on LifeTime.
