Solomon Kane

This film just (and I mean like 45 minutes ago), had it's North American Premier at the Toronto International Film Festival. This work was amazing. Set in 17th Century England, it had the feel of the Dark Knight, and Star Wars.... Full review

SOLOMON KANE was really not what I expected. It's far, far better than I could have hoped. As it stands, its pretty unique in the sword and sorcery movies simply because it has proper drama, great performances and some nasty intense... Full review

Minor Spoiler Alert! If Peter Jackson deemed it a good idea to remake Michael Reeves classic WITCHFINDER GENERAL, the result might look an awful lot like SOLOMON KANE. Based on Robert E Howard's 17th Century Puritan pulp fiction character, SOLOMON KANE... Full review

becoming an effective, authentic feeling film that puts you squarely in Colonial-era England.....Solomon Kane isn't a nice guy.....The film plays out as a pretty standard origin story with all the bleak accoutrements you'd expect in a post-DARK KNIGHT world.....Well, that's because Sommers was ripping off some of the best elements of Solomon Kane for his own asstastic, juvenile, Universal monster fanfic opus.....SOLOMON KANE is an incredibly cool return to form for modern sub-studio level financing fantasy. ...

As a new, medium-budget hack-and-slash film with no stars, it's a shame....The film's complete absence of irony, its lack of a need to "put a fresh spin" on an old genre is refreshing and a pure pleasure.....A pure, unsophisticated (in the best, most honest way) adventure film not designed to appeal to multiple demographics, it doesn't get goofy to skew young....the filmmakers' reliance on physical props in incredibly detailed sets is another nostalgic pleasure..... ...

Pixar's first foray into live-action film (unless you count brief snippets in Wall-E ), an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's John Carter of Mars by director Andrew Stanton, has gained three fantastic cast members: Mark Strong ( Syriana, Kick-Ass ),... ... Full Article

The only thing that really held my interest in Solomon Kane was the fact that James Purefoy was playing the title character. All the media updates looked cool, but we could easily have another Uwe Boll film on our hands. ... Full Article

Mounting any sort of "medieval" action epic must be a really daunting task. First off, it's a period piece (obviously), which means you have to buy a lot of swords, costumes, and horses. ... Full Article
