James Purefoy is badass.

Yep! Definitely a bad ass.

Is this thing going to get released? I've been looking forward to it since Comic-con where they showed us like a half hour of the film. Looks pretty good although anyone looking for them to keep it real to the book will probably find too much artistic license taken with the character.

Guess I'm out, then.

The movie was released in Spain about a month ago. The poster they used looked like it was made of awesome.

The beggining of the movie is fantastic (

the clip Exo posted is from that

). But once that's over you are left with a movie that feels like a corny fantasy movie from the 80's painted with "grittier *whiny*" colors.

From the

mirror daemons and shadow necromancers from hell

of the first minutes you go to whiny hero whining here and there while killing boring cannon fodder thugs that look the same. Even the last battle pales in comparison to what they show at the beggining.

Hell of a boring movie which could have been a lot better. Even the depressive gothic atmosphere full of religious nuttery (which by itself should add points to any movie about fighting the followers of hell) gets too repetetive very fast.

We did laugh our ass off during the movie once we saw it was that or sleeping what was left of the film. Talking about all the gaping plot holes and stupid scenes made for a fun after movie experience too.

To sum it up: Don't expect what the damn movie could have delivered based on the firts minutes and go with friends with the funny button turned on.

Purefoy is awesome as Marcus Antonius in HBO Rome
