Ok, I could watch Ron Perlman run around with a sword for two hours. That's it. No plot, no dialog, just Ron Perlman, sword, and people to run it through. Ok, sounds vaguely gay I know I know, but it's just my deep intense infatuation with Ron "Yes I am Hellboy" Perlman. So for the first five minutes of "Season of the Witch," I was a happy camper. Nicholas Cage and Ron "Yeah I kicked ass in Blade 2" Perlman are crusaders doing what they do best. Eventually Nicholas Cage grows a conscience and decides he doesn't like killing women and children even if they are pagans. The Church though has one last job for him though. Seems like there's this really bad plague, and there's this girl who is maybe a witch. So to stop the plague they have to take the girl to the book of solomon so the proper magic words can be spoken. On the way our heroes face many threats some seemingly supernatural in flavor.
Ok, good news is that Nick Cage and Ron "I was the Beast" Perlman are having some fun which keeps things lively. The film looks great for the most part, and at the end there's something of a minor twist. The bad news is this has a major case of the sillies. Really, don't think of all the plot holes and illogic. It will make your head explode like a star trek computer. So this isn't bad as long as you don't think.
Thanks for the warning.
