Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011)

Um…I don’t know how to say this, but…I like this movie. I actually had fun watching it. I thought that it was actually a really fun movie. Granted, this movie is stupid. It’s probably the dumbest movie I’ve seen since Sucker Punch (which was kind of recent, but that movie was REALLY dumb), but it was still fun. But the difference between Dylan Dog: Dead of Night and Sucker Punch was that Sucker Punch was a terrible movie while Dylan Dog: Dead of Night was not. I mean, I do my best to be honest with my readers, and in being honest, I must say-I’m kind of embarrassed to say I like this film. I usually don’t have feelings like this when I’m watching a movie, it’s just that this is a movie that has a three percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Why? Why does this movie have a three while a movie like Rango has an eighty-eight (I’m sorry, I promised myself I’d stop ranting/arguing with people about Rango)! But the thing is, this movie, in its basic core, is not that bad. It’s actually just a flat-out fun film. Again, it’s as stupid as they get, but it’s still fun. The film follows private investigator Dylan Dog (played by Brandon Routh, who is Superman, then Todd Ingram from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, then Dylan Dog. This man just goes down the comic book food chain. Eventually, he’ll be playing Reginald Hargreeves from The Umbrella Academy) who has had a messy past also working for the paranormal creatures, such as vampires, zombies, and werewolves. But something happened, and he’s just living his monotonous life, solving extremely simple cases with his assistant Marcus (played by the awesome Sam Huntington, who was in Fanboys and is on Being Human on Syfy). But he gets reeled back in with a murder case, and things just get messier from there. I really don’t need to explain anymore. Because the movie is so thin, and so dang ridiculous. This is the movie that I would watch with my friends on a Friday night. I almost want to buy the movie on DVD just for that reason. This movie is campy. This movie is stupid. This movie is perfect for just a bunch of friends hanging around. It’s not brilliant, it’s just fun.
7.5/10
