Best movie ever!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This Film truly is awful, i bought it expecting a good HongKong Zombie-Vampire flick! great stunts wild & fast! but what you've got here is wild & utterly ridiculous! The Zombies/Vampires are like Cardboard cutouts, fake stiff dummies with NO movement whatsoever! apart from the occasional clutch of the hand! the effects are poor! really pour! the zombies don't even bite the neck from what i saw, i managed half hour & that was painful enough, really 1 of the worst vampire genre movies, & possibly the worst film i own. Avoid like the plague! Poor acting! poor film, don't be fooled by the trailer either! Not even worth a vote, my opinion, for Vampire films the Dusk Til Down trilogy(Mainly The First), and for Zombies, Resident Evil 1&2, and Dawn of the Dead(Remake Starring Ving Rhames).

It's obvious that the person with the negative view either expects a 'kung fu' film and didn't get it, or more likely never saw MR VAMPIRE...In order to enjoy this film I should think a little background on both Chinese mysticism and Hopping Zombie films are in order. I won't do either of the honors, but instead refer you to the Illuminated Lantern website where you can get at least a primer on both. AFA the film goes, I gave it a 7 out of 10 as it's a little disjointed, and lacks the flow of any really good Hopping Zombie film. But hey, at least someone whipped one of these out in the 00's, ten years after the genre died out. Kudos to Tsui Hark for that!

Master Mao Shan is separated from his four best warriors, Wid, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning, during the midst of a battle with the undead. So they decide to go undercover as servants in order to search for a vampire who they believe is nearby. That's the main plot, but there's many sub-plots and a tad too many characters. But the action scenes are pretty good. And while this is among my least favorite Tsui Hark films, that's more a statement of how much I enjoy his movies than an indictment of this one. Truth be told, I'm kinda hesitantly reviewing this title as the Tristar version is cut by numerous minutes, making the ending more optimistic, so if you ever pick up the un-edited version get in touch with me to tell me how different it is. And if I ever see the original version I,of course, will revise my review accordingly.My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Trailers for "Cowboy Bebop", "National Security", and "Time and Tide"

Never judge a movie by its cover. Otherwise, you'll end up like me and spending 5 hard earned dollars on renting such a piece of crap as "Vampire Hunters" just cuz it looked totally awesome in the screenshots found on the back of the box. I feel almost ripped off, so much in fact, I want to take it back to BlockBuster Video and ask for my money back for wasting my time, energy, and money."Hunters" was like a mix of "Iron Monkey", with it's crap comedy elements, crazy unrealistic fight (and flight) sequences, and medieval Asian setting, and "Blade", for it's vampire/zombie hunting story, and a bit of "House of 1000 Corpses", being kind of a throw-back to classic horror cinema (in "Hunters" case, horror/kung-fu), and having so much cut out of the final release that most of it doesn't entirely make sense. "Vampire Hunters" is all this, plus underdeveloped characters, god awful dialogue, poor poor poor dubbing (even in the its original language!), sh*t for make-up, and an obviously low budget. Not that there's anything wrong with low budget films, but when trying to make a movie about high flying warriors fighting off decaying, flying zombies and vampires, you're gonna need a little more money than what these guys did with "Hunters".Everyone commenting on this flick so far is complaining about the look of the demons/vampires, but I have much respect for the way the creators of this film portrayed them as creatures who actually looked like they had died and come back to life. Let's face it, if you're dead grandmother was to pop out of the casket right now and hunt you down, she would not look like Aaliyah, that's for sure. The demons in "Hunters" look like they were actually pulled out from six feet under, and tied up with strings like puppets to move around."Vampire Hunters" was edited SOOOOO bad, and in the end, that's what makes "Hunters" so f*cking awful. Fight sequences can get pretty intense, but are cut very short, edited so poorly, and are usually instigated for almost no reason. ex: "So... you're the 'zombie wrangler'... Let's see how good you really are! HIYAAA!" Fight begins.The thing that p***ed me off the most about "Hunters" were the 2 love interests, Sasa, and some worker girl that pops up once in a while out of literally no where. Two of our heroes fall in love with the said women, even though they know nothing about them at all, except that they're hot as hell. One even agrees to marry Sasa if they make it through this vampire mess alive. This love element is what makes "Hunter" totally over the top, even if it doesn't have that much of an impact on the film as a whole. But it's so god damned annoying! ex: Warrior-"Who are you?" Girl-"I'm a servant here for the Jiang family." Warrior-"Lightning has Sasa, and now I have you." *couple walks off arm in arm*The only way I can suggest this film is if you can get the actual uncut version, which probably hasn't been released out here in North America. I give "Vampire Hunters" 2 out of 10. I give it that much only because the fight scenes look really cool for what they are, and Sasa is gorgeous!
