Solomon Kane (2009)
7/10
Nice surprise
22 May 2010
I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from this movie. In the recent years there were so many different flops in the fantasy movies area, that even as a fan I started to dislike the genre, and ever since Lord of the Rings I saw maybe 2 movies from this genre that I liked. In the last two month I saw two excellent movies that restored faith in this genre. One was Dante's inferno - a truly epic animation, and the other one is Solomon Kane. I saw a review that was titled - "what Van Helsing was suppose to be". I absolutely agree with it. The pure action, mixed together with non intrusive religious high moral values - is a blend which might influence our money driven morals. This movie actually proves that movie does not have to have Grade A stars, which don't necessarily suit the movie, but rather good acting cast that works all together. Now for more specifics: Story: Simple and done to death - yet it still works 6/10 Star (James Purefoy): Good actor. Loved him in Rome. Here he is good, but I'd prefer someone with more muscle, and more brutality. 7/10 Action: Simply great.I want more 9/10. General cast: It's good, well balanced, and functions well together. 7/10

This one worth it.No regrets.
