Wordiezett So much average

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Artur Machado In a dystopian future devastated by the war between humans and vampires, people live in walled cities controlled by the Church. Warrior priests are no longer necessary because vampires no longer pose a serious threat to civilization, but when a priest's niece is abducted by a resistant group of vampires, he calls into question his vows and philosophy of life.This premise seems to establish a more psychological and philosophical dimension to the film, but it is just that, a premise, because from here the priest leaves in pursuit of his niece, joins with her boyfriend and some other warrior priestess and it is only action and fx thereafter. And vampires are gray monsters without eyes and those who look like human vampires are just the servants. The film lasts an hour and a half, but it would benefit from another half hour to better establish the universe and the characters. Well, it served to entertain...

Kirpianuscus dark, dramatic, decent mixture of religion, vampires, not bad acting, impressive fight scenes and special effects. and, maybe more important, a realistic story, the presence of Paul Bettany and Urban being useful ingredients for a film who gives the expected scenes, emotion and fascination.

jackmeat My quick rating - 5,9/10. Now that is a fun movie. A "Priest" is basically the badasses who protect the city in a post-apocalyptic city that is run by religious radicals. They are walled into the city to keep away from the vampires that live outside the walls that supposedly had all been terminated. But these aren't your every day vampires, they are mutated and don't have interest in romantic bites to turn you into one of them. basically they want you dead. After a "priest" (Paul Bettany" has his niece kidnapped, he goes looking for her and confronts the whole band of vampires. A fun action/scifi ish movie that just goes all over the board in the action department. Definitely worth watching and strangely flew under my radar until now. If the story itself wasn't so convoluted it would score higher so check reality at the door and grab your ninja crucifix throwing stars and you will enjoy the bloody romp through this interesting world.

Python Hyena Priest (2011): Dir: Scott Charles Stewart / Cast: Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins: The title stands for good from a spiritual standpoint but its delivery is laughable. Based on a comic book that is about as little seen as Jonah Hex, It regards humans as an endangered species thanks to a losing war against vampires. Thankfully Priest fighters are able to kill them. Director Scott Charles Stewart and star Paul Bettany both collaborated on the dimwitted Legion, which also dealt with spiritual themes that aren't exactly Biblical. Bettany fares better here as a warrior Priest out to save a young girl from an army of vampires but it all winds down to a lot of excessive violence and blood shed that nobody cares about. Karl Urban as the villain Black Hat is an embarrassing sight. He dances about as his minions commit deadly acts, then he appears ominous under the shadows of that hat as if we're suppose to be intimidated. This guy is about as intimidating as Elmer Fudd. Cam Gigandet is another sorry sight as a Sheriff who accompanies Bettany and basically gets in the way. Maggie Q plays a females Priestess out to warn Bettany that he disobeyed orders. Her prime function is to fight and look cool doing it. Judging from the film she is in then that may be a challenge. Lily Collins is also featured and hopefully regrets it. The special effects are the ticket as hideous monsters jump out and attack only to get blown away. The Biblical references are warped at best but then again, nothing in this film will warrant any reward for screen writing or originality. Score: 3 ½ / 10
