Review of Priest

Priest (2011)
7/10
Not impressive, but enjoyable!

Warning: Spoilers
Paul Bettany & Karl Urban & Cam Gigandet = YUM!!!!!!!!!!!! If they weren't in shirts at all times (**sigh**) then the result would definitely make all ladies' jaws to hit the floor with a thud!! Unfortunately (with the exception of one –just one (!)- snapshot) they were…

Film was enjoyable but did not stand up to -at least my- expectations… As a concept and an idea it had sooo much more to give, however the actual plot was pretty much what we have all already seen in similar films. No gore/horror was involved (possibly to achieve the 12A rating) and the actions scenes were quite nicely filmed but nothing to rock your world. As one of my must-see films for this season I was expecting way more. However,

All in all, Priest is a stylish yet kind of flat depiction of what is supposed to be a typical, (supposedly) action packed vampire fighting film, with some eye-candy male actors.. Some vampires were killed face to face with the priest but the majority was killed by a massive…wait for it….bomb :P Hahaha, to be honest with you people who haven't seen it yet, go see Vampires (1998) instead, it's so much funnier. Those of you who have seen Vampires but have not the Priest, then the suggestion alone draws the picture for you!

What has to be highlighted is that the 3D was completely unnecessary. There was not even a single scene where you could see any sort of depth in the film sequence or at least a part to justify why 3D was required. What a pity :(

Finally, if you have limited access to cinema and are considering it, just wait for it to be released on DVD. You will not miss anything special…

If you go to the movies regularly, then grab a huge pack of corn and coke, sit back and enjoy ^_^
