I liked this movie

I'm part of the minority as well (and it's been -before the movie-and still is one of my favorite book series)

I like it too I love Josh as Steve

i just saw this and I really loved it myself too actually! john c Reilly's combination of aged gravitas and funny sarcasm made for an excellent performance and I loved how the story had just about the right balance of silliness and yet seriousness to make for a production with character and its own identity. I loved it, personally, and wish they'd make a sequel.

I personally love the movie and think it did bad because of the timing. Two huge hits came out along with Vampires Assistant, so ofc it was going to be a low box office. I think it was Toy Story 3 that came out with it. I mean, really? What did they think would happen lol I've seen Vampires Assistant more than once.

I liked it. I was entertained. Some things like the vampaneez seemed left field silly, but otherwise, not bad. Too bad a sequel's not likely.

Nah, I did too, though it seems like we are in the minority. Really liked the characters and would love to see a sequel, sad that's not gonna happen :/

Gotta say I was EXTREMELY disappointed (after watching the movie tonite)...

WITH THE FACT THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO SEQUEL IN THE WORKS!!!

😢

I REALLY liked this, for a lot of the reasons that others have listed: The sarcastic, dark humor, etc.

And I NORMALLY -REALLY- dislike John C. Reilly, but I LOVED him in this! 😖

(sigh)

I guess the only way I get to know how the story goes on is to start reading the 100 or so books someone mentioned in another thread... Which I DON'T really have any particular problem with, but I DID enjoy this movie (gave it an 8 outta 10) but... But given the amount of money it just absolutely and UTTERLY -LOST- pretty much guaranteed that it wouldn't have a sequel...

It prolly has a lot to do with the purists who HAVE ALREADY READ the books. (shrug) Ah, well... And so it goes... 😡

Will letcha guys know if the books are any good! 😊 (Am sure they prolly are!)

In fact, the reason I prolly liked this movie as much as I did is that it reminded me of the purposely campy horror movies when I was a kid in the 70's & especially the 80's... Movies like "Fright Night" & so on, where the humor was AS integral to the plot as was the horror. (shrug) Of course, I HATED the remake of "Fright Night" even tho it starred David Tennant (one of my favorite actors)... They had taken all the campy humor out and made it actually scary... 😠 Same thing with the remake of ANoES! 😞 All the campy gone, just scary and disturbing plot left... In the original, the campy humor was CRUCIAL to helping to cover up the fact that a LOT of us LIKED Freddy: A child murderer. 😉
