not as good as all the hype

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Season of the Witch was an enjoyable watch from beginning to end. Cage and Perlman were very credible a war-weary, disillusioned veterans of the crusades who take on task for the Church they had rejected.Nothing particularly special about this film, but it a very decent effort that does a good job in laying a foundation for the heroes actions and has a very intense climax. Good, evil and redemption - For an evening of entertainment you could do far worse. And yes, there can be a difference in serving God versus serving the Church.

I don't find this a horrible film - it's quite entertaining in it's way. Really good casting, fairly interesting story, CGI not over done, beautiful costuming and sets and a small but important role for Christopher Lee.If you like medieval themes, knights/crusaders and witches then give Season of the Witch a whirl. It's not the best film in the world but it's a pretty good watch. I like the film.I acquired this movie in a film pack - glad I got it! I know I'll watch this film again in the future! 7.5/10

Not a bad movie for what it was: swords and (evil) sorcery. The history is poor. The writing is okay. The acting is nothing to write home about. The special effects don't get out-of-hand until a couple minutes at the end. The mystery is well played and not revealed until the end. Other people may see it before it's revealed, but I didn't.My only real beef with the movie is Solomon's spell. When I'm fighting supernatural forces for my life or for the lives of my friends or family, I don't need some moron to exercise his Latin poetry. I need something short and easy to say in a language I know. "Begone," or "Scram," springs to mind.If the magic spell needs to be long (I can't imaging why.), and if there are a limited number of copies of the spell, it might be a good idea to forgo all the decorations when creating more copies. The spell in the movie is on multiple "illuminated" pages. It might not have fit on one page even without the illustrations, but it surely would have fit on two. I would command my monks to forget the illustrations and just copy the magic words. When we had hundreds of copies, I might have relented and allowed the occasional flower, but not until the spell and the world were safe.

Talk about bad... This one is so bad that even as a popcorn movie it's not worth a penny!The CGI is worse than in a reasonable video game; the sets are so awfully done that it's laughable... to say the least. The plot? When I played cops and robbers with my friends at age seven we had better ones.Really, to see this kind of crap is only justified in order to appreciate good movies by contrast. A lot of films these days are geared for teen agers and not adults; but this one is an insult to teen-agers, it's impressive for a six year-old at best. If you all you want is to be entertained, that's fine... but this is so badly done that it is only entertaining as a joke; it makes Lord of the Rings seem like an art film.Cage has done a lot of awful pics (and just a couple of good ones); this has got to be one of his worst. Bad acting, production values lower than a tram rail, a script so bad that it makes you ashamed to watch (let alone the guys who wrote it)... This is what gives Hollywood productions a bad name. A waste of time.
