Warning: Spoilers
It got a 4 for the special effects which were fairly good. A "0" for dialogue. 1 for plot. We aren't all 16 looking for another video game movie---vamps vs priests. I don't know who Cory Goodman is, but I don't think I'll find out soon. This had about the most clichéd script I've seen in a long time. Of course, it was based on a comic book, the magic formula for so many. But I was 16 many years ago and I am not amused by these extremely puerile scripts, plots and acting, along with the ubiquitous chorus in the background humming some tune, vacillating between the Magnificent 7 music and Star Wars. There was humor though, when the family man with the little wife and child is relaxing by listening to a requiem on the gramophone. What was that about? This was a klunker. I have no idea why I watched the whole thing and burst out laughing when they left everything up the air as though there would be Priest 2. 2 what end? Is somebody looking for a big tax write off? Max Bloom?
