Solomon Kane

venue: MBO Melaka Mall
date: today

This was totally an impulse decision to go watch any movie at all, and turns out the only one available at the time and i haven't watched yet was Solomon Kane....

I had absolutely and totally no idea at all of what the movie was about... I haven't watched the trailer, nor have i read the synopsis...

It's a movie that would make you cringe... it's a movie that would make you fear... and would make you hope...

Although there's a hint of romance in the storyline, it was not pursued, hanged at the ending... and the romance was not clear... its a bit blurry on the subject of whether the characters involved are actually in love or not...

It's like in Lord of the Ring's fighting scenes.... only this time, its almost the whole movie... there's devils, witches, evil people, kings, innocent girl, nice family, priests, the church, and Solomon Kane of course....

To be honest, when the movie started, for like 5 minutes into the movie, i was not convinced that the main character is actually the hero of this movie... i even went as hated the idea and screenwriter if he really was the hero...

It does develop quite slow in the beginning... but it gets to a nice pace towards the end...

Since i watched it alone, there's no talking and questions asked in the middle of the movie, nor was there any glances while making weird faces... hahha... even the hall being almost empty didn't make any difference in the environment... there was still noises from popcorn eating (me & ??) little whispers during *those* parts, and handphone going off... the best part though, was that i had a WHOLE row all to myself, my feet was propped up nicely on the seat in front, and my handbag on the seat beside....

:P

all in: good for boys who like gore, cruel killings... demons (no angels here!)... a good watch... not a must watch, but still... go see it if you like action packed movies... its not a let down, even if you come in not knowing a thing about it... oh, and one more... the main actor is kinda unknown (to me atleast)...
