Solomon Kane (Blu-ray)

Unusual....manages to convey such an atmosphere.......so much here.......it is a brilliant film. I love it and it is one I watch again and again...really cannot recommend it enough. I want another one.............where is the follow up?

This must be one of the most underrated films ever. Simply top-notch entertainment from start to finish. I love the fact that this film was produced in a most un-holywood like manner. Watching the special features you can tell allot of thought and effort went into the production. Really hope a sequel gets the green light, and James Purfoy returns to his best role yet!!

Bassett is able to make a decent fist of the 17th century Puritan warrior despite having a very limited budget. The film looks great, Purefoy is convincing as the avenger with a conscience and the alternate-world medieval look is a striking mix of Lord of the Rings and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That does not exactly bypass the fact that this is all relentlessly silly, and that our hero seems to lose his mojo for the entire middle section of the film but this is still not a bad representation of pulp material.

This absolutely amazing film has changed the way we live! This God of a man will always have a place in our hearts. whoever gave this film less than 5 stars will experience the wrath of pain from solomon. He deserves a knighthood!

It all starts with such promise. A pirate with some natty sword skills, laying waste to a fortress before being attacked by hall full of possessed mirrors and Hell's own angel of death.

Things then slow greatly, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. A lot of wandering through sumptuous countryside as the character is slowly developed, and we wait for the inevitable moment when it all kicks off. And eventually it does.

But as time goes on, the action becomes increasingly sloppy in both direction and choreography. Solomon's quest slumps along with the pace and irregularity of a fawn on roller-skates. The core moral and emotional conflict faced towards the end makes little sense given the antagonist's past and the big, bad evil is in and out in under 5 minutes with zero development.

The first half of this film holds so much potential, but it is all squandered by a rushed and lazy second half.

the story is boring, the acting is average and the special effects are only just acceptable. AVOID

This is my first review on play.com, just ordered the movie today and wanted to say that I have watched this and it has become my favourite movie so far =p. And so just had to purchase my first blu-ray which is this. For 5 pounds its really cheap and has alot of value as in watching it again and again, i've watched it like 5 times by now lool. So its not really those movies that is a one timer, well for me it isn't XD.

I dont understand why some people have given this film a poor rating? Or complained about the picture quality? Its brilliant entertainment from start to finish! Yes, its not the best film you will ever see, but for sheer entertainment value you cant go wrong. Sword fighting, Demons, A Sadistic killer who changes his ways. Picture quality is superb and the sound is even better. Those who say different about the picture or sound quality of this film either have their set-up wrong or have not got a clue! Great fun at a great price!

Good old dark supernatural adventure. Yeah the acting isnt the best but the story keeps it going along. Top action with plenty of surprises and suspense along the way. Recomended to buy if your into supernatural films and you wont regret it

I've watched about 20 films over the past 4 weeks thanks to a broken leg and this is one of the better ones. A good plot, some action a few twists and a happy ending. Medieval setting allows for some moody lighting and mythical action.
