To be honest, I don't like Fantasy movies (I prefer Sci-Fi) but this movie blew me away - very interesting storyline, nice visual effects, great acting. James Purefoy was brilliant as Solomon. I like the idea that the main warrior/killer/hero was religious. Rachel Hurd-Wood was stunning as well. "Solomon Kane" is interesting, sometime even shocking and criminally underrated movie. I hope they will make a sequel
This film is crap ... It is a typical sword and sorcery story [add nausea] with almost nothing to do with the character. This review is idiotic. This movie is another bastardization of another Howard character. Anyone who wants to really understand the character should avoid this flop and read the stories.
As a big fan of R.E.H Conan stories, I certainly hope this is as cool as the trailers suggest. Now if only we could get another Conan movie by a competant director that is faithful to the source material, especially his origins.
It's not fair that Lovecraft, while arguably a terrible writer (and racist paranoid angloboo) has had so much time in the geek limelight. It's time for people to discover the great material that Howard produced.
That's what happened for Mr. Freeze. He wasn't given an origin and made as a gimmick villain, but then Bruce Timm's team for the animated series made this awesome tragic story.
lol, my bad i would of I didn't realize you were such a big fan. Personally I think the trailer looks awesome. I wasn't familiar with Solomon Kane before I saw it so I wikipedia'd him. He sounds so bad ass. Not to mention the director on this movie is great at these types of films.
how do you know producer/director will do justice to it not completely rape it of dignity and self respect need i remind you of wolverine origins, ghostrider, and prehaps even the spirit

I saw the trailer for this quite a while ago. It is ever coming to theaters in America? Did I already miss it?

I'm so pumped for this movie. The trailer looks awesome. Apart from the part where you see him fighting the Balrog, that' kinds took me out of it.

i myself am waiting on jonah hex but all i have really heard is that megan fox will have a roll as jonah love interest

honestly Jonah Hex is an okay, character but I never got why people go crazy for him. He isn't that special.
Moreover, Megan Fox will ruin the movie.
