Bit

This is definitely one of the better movies out there when it comes to story, food for thought and moral lessons (even though most people seem to miss what the point they were trying to make is). Could have done without a lot of the dialogue and should have been polished a bit more before the script was finalized, but overall I loved the style and the strong points it did have were amazing.

For those who think this is a feminist's power fantasy, it's not, it does introduce the narrative of men not being able to handle power and the "women's club" that punishes the ones who abuse it, but it does challenge all of that. The writer/director has a lot of talent and is actually a he, if you hadn't checked that yet.

While I did enjoy it quite a bit, it could have been so much better. It had such powerful blasts of creativity and originality, but fell so flat during a lot of the dialogue scenes, especially as the protagonist was being introduced. It was surprisingly in touch with reality, you never feel like there's a holier-than-thou protagonist and bad, bad antagonist, the movie manages to both portray how not black-and-white things are and still have you know who you're supposed to root for.

tl:dr I'm sad it isn't as amazing as it could have been, but you won't be wasting your time watching it.

I had no idea about the movie's context until I started watching it. I have nothing against feminism or LGBT plots. I can also clearly see when its usage is good or bad. For example, "Assassination Nation" is awesome, and the latest "Black Christmas" is blasphemous. So when I finished this flick and stuck into the reviews I felt puzzled. The acting is decent, the cinematography is eye-candy, the music perfectly fits (the "Rasputin" part is best), and even some radical points doesn't make me feel guilty of being a man.

"Bit" bites at timely feminist themes and never misses the spot thanks to the lightful and frisky way of storytelling. Its visuals are even better than the "men shouldn't possess power like this, they'll screw it up" message. In the end, "Bit" doesn't take itself too serious and that's how it eventually wins. Definetely worth a watch.

I am feeling generous so I will give Bit a 5. Watchable, but ultimately not a good movie. To be fair, the acting is pretty good although the roles are not exactly demanding, the effects are well done, the concept is even really pretty good, but it is so chock full of cringeworthy sexy Vampire stuff; so tailored to people who never grew out of their teens even though they are now in their twenties (or older), that it is really hard to appreciate that there is a good movie in there somewhere. It also so badly wants to be serialized (it even quite directly says so in an epilogue) that it avoids giving a satisfactory ending. Not even a THE END???... just a straight up to be continued (and to be honest I wouldn't bet on there ever being that follow up).

I can not stress enough how chockablock full of generic teen content it is. Sexy young twenties Vamps, ''underground'' raves and parties oozing sexuality, innuendo, wealth and young sexiness, and, of course, the naive small town protagonist who is seduced and who is going to be a victim, but has ''a certain something'' (although I can't tell what that something is except maybe being a bit similar to a certain someone in Twilight) that makes her get brought into the family. It has the Nosferatu disadvantages mostly glossed over... weakness to sunlight removed, far more control over blood lust (unless you don't feed for several days of course), garlic aversion removed, etc... which I don't really have a problem with except that it is so generic. The characters are similarly cookie cutter drab, each of which would have been perfect in Buffy, Twilight, maybe Blade, or any other pop vampire movie of the past twenty or so years. There are some current issues in the film as well, but they are mostly shoehorned in and do little more than pay lip service to a narrative of female empowerment and identity than actually serve a real function. This really is a just vampire fantasy at the core.

And of course... Dracula himself is there, but mostly as a background plot device, which I also don't really have a problem with to be honest. Not every vampire movie has to be about Dracula-- I would actually prefer if it wasn't anyway.

Now if you want teen content, this movie is likely VERY MUCH up your alley. Like I said, the concept has some freshness, and the production is actually pretty solid. If you are looking for something really new, there are definitely MUCH better things to spend your time watching.

The comedy aspect is how campy it is. Honestly it is right up there with some of the best vampire movies. It will be a cult classic for sure.

I went into this movie, hoping to genuinely enjoy it, as I had been excited to watch it. Unfortunately, I didn't. The concept is nice, but it wasn't properly fleshed out. Near the end, it all got rushed. What also bothered me was the music. It was too loud in several scenes throughout the movie, drowning out the dialogue. And it was a bit flaky how they sometimes abruptly stopped it rather than fading it out. I'm disappointed because it could have been a great film. If Nicole wasn't in it I probably would have rated it lower.
