I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Season of the witch starts off on the tempo it would continue to maintain; cheesy, cliché, and predictable. Like most low budget B grade films, when two stars are put in like Cage and Perlman, there is never a moment when their plight or adventure would be at risk, because god forbid the story have levels of intrigue and be properly developed. Bearing on a simple story, the typical obstacles are used as filler, and by the climax, the absurdity of the real antagonist at his/her pinnacle is laughable. It is a shame to see Dominic Sena going backwards in talent, as he creates a far more inferior product to his prior solid action ventures. Cage and Perlman are cardboard cut-outs and have little to no depth in character development. The film is a shambles and provides just about juice for a tonic of sleep.
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.
I watch a lot of movies. I've seen a lot of Nick Cage's movies. Some are better than others - but he always seems to deliver "something" in each and every one. He's got this odd, weird - psycho kind of persona that just works in these adventure/fantasy/horror flicks. These kind of films just need the main actor be a tad "off". Trust me, there have been other films were he's been certifiable crazy - and this one pales in comparison in spots - but yet there is still that unmistakable Nick Cage fingerprint.I love Ron Perlman too. The banter and friendship between him and Cage was enjoyable. I love Perlman in the "Hellboy" series. I loved him in this for all the same reasons. It was like "Hellboy", but without all the makeup.I've read in other reviews people didn't like the special effects. I loved them - and thought they were excellent. Nothing about them was distracting - only an asset to the movie.I highly recommend this movie. It's fun, exciting, scary at moments - and well worth a watch.
This very American movie starts off rather interestingly but becomes more and more ridiculous set in the time of the black plague. 50% of the time we follow the "witch" in the rolling cage, lead by Nicholas Cage. After fighting "scary" wolves and an old tow bridge they eventually reach the monastery with dead priests. The finishing scene with the devils looks like an animation from 1930 and the plot is so way out it just makes you laugh. The batman-devil is killed by reading Latin from an old book. If You are an American born-again Christian this is definitely the movie for you. If not: Don't waste your time. This movie might easily have been made into a nice story without the Hollywood wilder wilder faster faster approach ("Police Academy 13").
