Cage.... Dude you can get beter scripts then this bro

I'm not in a position to defend the fact that I liked watching the notoriously panned "Season of the Witch". The story is very simple, the silliness of the dialogue is at times embarrassing, and the whole movie does nothing that hasn't been done better a million times before. But dammit, I had a good time that I think stems from the pairing of the unpredictable Nicholas Cage and the overall badass-ery of Ron Perlman.

It took me a while to get over the fact that Crusaders would never use the language that they do, but the pair has a chemistry that evolved over the course of the movie.

The villainous force that the heroes must fight seemed formidable, even though this whole affair is loaded with spotty CGI effects that took away from whatever realism could be generated. In short, this movie is a cartoon. But hey! Cartoons are fun!

Season of the Witch is a dark, supernatural thriller that’s full of suspense. The story follows two knights who are enlisted to escort a young woman accused of being a witch to a monastery to receive judgment, but along the journey they begin to suspect that the girl is not what she seems. Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman lead the cast and have good chemistry as battle-worn compatriots, and Claire Foy delivers a solid performance as the “witch.” Additionally, the story is fairly well-written and takes some clever turns that are unconventional. But there are a few elements of the film that don’t work (such as the CGI), and it takes a while to get to the main plot. Crusade films often get bogged down in clichés, but Season of the Witch has a few angles to it that make it refreshingly different and entertaining.

Better than movies of the woke era.

_Season of the Witch_ is a very entertaining adventure movie. Yeah, that's right, adventure. It has elements of horror - especially in the third act - landing this as more Lord of the Rings, with a dash of _Army of Darkness_.
The movie is surprisingly well made, with most of the heavy lifting done by Cage, and Perlman. And, wow, talk about two pros who knew what they were working with, and how to make it believable.
Oddly enough, the only real flaw here is that there needed to be more. The film felt rushed. I absolutely could have used half an hour more with Cage, and Perlman just talking.
Ghost Rider, and Hellboy transport a witch... groovy!

Great cast, so-so story wise, but the dialogue is absolutely tripe!!!

Well, this is generic Cage's movie.

Is there a correlation between Nicholas Cage, his money problems and the quality of his movies. He's a great, yet very desperate, actor.

Cage and Perlman buddy movie. Poor movie, but the ending was better than the first 80 minutes of movie :)

4/10
