Sword & Sorcery But With Drama
No, not your hollywood generic breed but method actors at their best.
The film's effects were amazing considering the budget, the fights unbelievable in their viciousness and locations were awesome.
For kids raised on generic american cinema with massive budgets the cgi might seem underwhelming but it makes up for that in spades with historical background, atmosphere and realism.
Me, I can't wait for a sequel.
Soloman Kane
The depressing weather throughout the film was almost prozac inducing(God help the poor extras who endured the filming - hope they were well paid) - defo don't watch this if the February weather's getting you down!
Storyline was completely predictable and the characters totally shallow. Even a good British cast couldn't lift the dismal script. If you've seen the trailer on TV then you've seen the best bits of the film.
I also found it laughable that Christianity was being hailed as tbe moral code during this volatile time in history when in fact it was exactly tbe opposite!
disappointed
To get rid of the final boss,only taking about 2 mins including the 110 seconds monster wandering and 10 seconds shooting time. One shut ,all finished !? what a movie!
That is a great movie for insominia surfurer.
