Very Good...but had a few problems

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2007)

I enjoyed this movie very much. Personally, I'm the type that enjoys dark fantasy and spooky creatures. I loved Blackheart...though they did not make him as powerful as he could be.
That was my main problem. There just weren't any real fight scenes. I guess movies like Spider-Man and X-men spoiled me. I want to see long battles...not just three spirits getting killed with one blow. I mean...come on...they HAVE to be stronger than that? I thought the idea of Blackheart absorbing all of those souls was sweet..though I was hoping that he would have transformed more. It was still a very cool (and creepy) scene. I liked the Biblical reference to Legion.
Other than that, I enjoyed this movie. I laughed at the parts I was supposed to laugh at, and though some were a bit cheesy, I still enjoyed it. When I was asked to explain the movie to a friend, I said "Nicholas Cage...Pointing...A lot!" The Special Effects were amazing, especially the transformation scenes. Nick laughing maniacally reminds me of Face Off. "I like peaces...I like them a lot." Heh. Riding up the building was impressive and my boyfriend and I couldn't help but be impressed by his destruction of the city streets on his first ride. I jumped at the right places as well. Mephisto's appearance out of no where to young JB was surprising.
Anyway, it was not the best, but it was still an entertaining ride. I recommend you go see it.
