Review of Priest (2011) by Bikerjames — 17 May 2011
If you're a fan of vampires, you probably won't like this movie. The bad guys could have been anything in this movie - another race, zombies, etc. This movie does not delve into the history or complexity of vampires, it is simply a shoot-em-up good guy against bad guy movie.
It is predictable and there is nothing new in the story telling. I have to give props for the overall look of the movie, however. I liked the dark, sepia look of the film, and the CGI looks good. At first I was taken aback because there was no female love interest, which is mandatory for a Hollywood film these days, but sure enough the woman shows up halfway through.
As it turns out, she is probably the best actor and most interesting character in the film. The ending sets up a sequel, but I don't think it garnered enough ticket sales for that. We'll see.
