About
If you want a dark, gothic fantasy prequel with high-energy battles and a feud’s origin story, you’ll likely enjoy this; Not for you if you dislike heavy gore or think prequels like Blade II don’t deliver, or if you want the same modern-vibe franchise feel of The Mechanic.
Pros: strong gothic atmosphere; brutal action energy; myth backstory payoff | Cons: pacing drags; CGI blood overload; acting feels forced
