Posts from Sergei Lukyanenko’s works.

In my opinion, Lukyanenko's best works are:
1. Trilogy:
Labyrinth of Reflections. False Mirrors. Transparent Stained Glass.
2. Draft. Clean Copy.

What about the Night Watch?

What about the Night Watch?

My subjective opinion: the film is much more interesting than the book itself (although, for example, many things from various plot lines have been reworked), and the book is written for an age category up to 13 years old (no offense, please).

To be honest, the "Night Watch" movies didn't impress me that much... And I didn't like the films at all.

The movie is terrible. 90% of those who read the book called it terrible, and they are absolutely right. It's a soulless BLOCKBUSTER that attracts audiences with special effects. The book is good; it's well-written and interesting.

Yes, the film doesn't quite live up to expectations. In some ways, it even resembles Black's work with its somewhat chaotic nature. I haven't read everything, but I've read a lot, and I liked almost all of it. I read "The Draft" and "The Clean Copy," but... "The Draft" is good, with an interesting beginning and premise, and I really enjoyed it. However, "The Clean Copy" is banal, like all his less impressive works. The ending and the second half of the book are an absolute repetition of his works from the 90s. "Star Shadow," "Lord from Planet Earth," and "Labyrinth of Reflections" all have the same ending as "The Clean Copy," where the hero receives overwhelming power and rejects it in favor of an ordinary life, now valuing it greatly. The ending is good in itself, but it's overused.
