For the first half of the movie I actually thought that "Day Watch" would be better than it's prequel. During the second half, I wasn't so sure anymore.

The movie starts out good and clear, explaining the circumstances enough in an unhurried pace. All in all, it makes sense.

Then something happens, and the plot starts to twist and turn and nothing makes sense whether it comes to characters' actions or logic. Stuff just happens, a bit aimlessly, and even if there seems to be a goal for it all, it is hidden from plain view.

The characters are given a bit more time in "Day Watch" than they had in "Night Watch". As long as the movie manages to graps onto a thread of clarity, it is quite good.

The sequel to spooky Russian action flick, has Anton, searching for an object that will save Moscow from becoming a battleground of the opposing forces of Light and Dark, while trying to clear his name of murder. It starts well with an ancient battle-scene, but the modern setting of the rest of the film is uninspired. The pace picks up for an exciting last half hour but it's hard to maintain interest for the sequel.
