Did that girl have darkness coming out of her snizz?

Damn!?!?!

No love for this film?

Saw this a few days ago and thought it was fantastic. Suprised this thread doesn't have much activity.

For those that haven't seen the film (or read the book), I would avoid the trailer above. Seems to spoil much of the film.

Saw ads for this I think. This is the Twilight-with-witches movie, right?

Why So Blu?

Every heterosexual male friend that I have talked to that has seen the film has really liked it. Color me surprised.

candyrocket786

Yes.... but in a different league and without all that cheesy bullshit/awkward stares. I remember walking out of Twilight thinking "WTF?". I still went on to see the remainder of the series.

With this film, I was pleasantly surprised, especially since I went in completely blind (no trailers, book, etc). The cast was amazing: The two leads, Irons, Thompson and Rossum. Impressive visuals and kickass mythology.

Was that like one person?

Lagravenese's involvement makes me intrigued.

Why So Blu?

Funny fucker aren't you.

Saw it twice. Will watch it again.

Question:

..because

GatorDeb

Oooohhhh, that makes sense

Damn I love this movie.

RocShemp

I dunno about this one. The first trailer made it look fun (basically a Down South version of Dynasty but with Witches) but all the latest ads make it look like a total bore.

I took my 18 and 12 year daughters to this and was expecting to fall asleep... but it was actually a very good movie.

dex14

You guys arent joking around? It was decent?

Solid Snake

...is this one of those films that where the critics didn't like it but the audience does? Cuz it's got a crap scoring for it's percent at RT.

GoldenJCJ

If it is in fact a decent movie then the marketing for this failed big time. Every ad I've seen for this makes it look like a knock-off of the Twilight movies.

As horrible as the Twilight movies seem to me a cheap rip-off of them scares me more than any monster or vampire ever could!

As it is, thanks to the shit marketing it's still a rental at best for me.

I saw this last thursday and thought it was all right. One thing I was wondering:

onebyone

I thought that it was good, but not great. It was certainly better than the marketing lead me to believe it would be, but that is nothing to be too terribly proud of.

I haven't read the books yet, but I still had the feeling they were leaving things out left and right. That said, the visuals and the actors made it better than the script itself. The acting was pretty great across the board, especially Thompson, Irons and Rossum (who was my favorite character by far). All in all, I say it was worth seeing once but I probably won't make a habit of it.

candyrocket786

Hell yes. Go see it.

candyrocket786

At least you'll eventually see it, versus not at all. Then you'll swing by this thread again in a few months

movielib

It was decent. Very strange and strangely constructed. At times I actually wondered if someone mixed up some reels but I guess they don't use reels any more. Still, I have to say I found it entertaining, particularly with its somewhat challenging 2+ hours length (pushing it for this kind of movie). And it's worth seeing just for Emma Thompson's kind of nutty over the top performance. I mean that in a good way.

*** / *****

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: much better than Twilight. Not as good as The Hunger Games.

It was a fun movie for the most part of the hour and a half I stayed awake. We saw it late and I was tired but I also feel that the movie was a bit too long in the tooth for what was going on.

SPiRAL

I liked it as well. We took my girlfriend's daughter for her birthday. As others have said, the acting was good. I really liked the male lead.

superdeluxe

That is what I thought, I thought..this is Twilight for witches movie. Wife said her friend saw it and it was better than that.

And It was actually pretty good. Romance/love was indeed a key part of the movie, but it was a part of it, tied into the plotline and the choice between dark and white magic.

Loved Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons, even liked viola davis character.
