a5c7b9f00b The adventures of supernatural private investigator, Dylan Dog, who seeks out the monsters of the Louisiana bayou in his signature red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. To me sometimes it seems that American filmmakers underestimate the American public by making these kind of movies. I&#39;m big fan of the comic book Dylan Dog and it is really shame that the authors did not follow the comics in any essential aspect. I&#39;m not even talking about changing of location or lack of Dylan&#39;s assistant Groucho, but a complete lack of any sense for original comic.<br/><br/>Dylan Dog is not suppose to be an action comedy, it is a comic with eerie atmosphere and a small dose of humor. Dylan Dog is an eccentric and a loner who has a very large sexual appetite that manifests in his constant one night stands. Torn between the life we live in where he is the subject of ridicule and the world in which he works where he becomes a hero. Tales of Dylan Dog are not about monsters, vampires or werewolves. Those creatures only serve to subtly explore the stories about great philosophical themes like life, death, loss, monsters in people and people in monsters, grief, happiness, love, etc., leaving the end most of the times incomplete for reader to interpret.<br/><br/>At the end I assume that people who love movies about vampires and werewolves will love this mediocre movie but it is a shame that American filmmakers have not had the courage to take inspiration in uniqueness of this comic and make it something more rather then cheap copy of movies we already saw for like hundreds of times.. Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) is a New Orleans detective who deals with supernatural creatures. Marcus (Sam Huntington) is his assistant. Elizabeth (Anita Briem) tries to hire him to investigate his father&#39;s murder but he refuses. He recognizes ita werewolf attack. He tries to work with vampire leader Vargas (Taye Diggs). Marcus is killed by a werewolf.<br/><br/>I like the concept of this supernatural world loosely adopted from an Italian comic book. I don&#39;t really like Rouththis character. He&#39;s more of a pretty face with comedic leanings. He needs to be more of a hard-boiled tough detective. The budget is also not big enough for its goals. It looks more like a B-movie. The action could be better. Overall, I like the concept but the execution is not great. Its star, Brandon Routh, is justmiscasta droll, world-weary "investigator of the undead"he wasa boy-Man of Steel back in 2006.
