Movie Reviews of The Order
Movie Review: A great movie, a sequal or a book would be nice.
Summary: 4 Stars
First, if you are uninterested in religion as a background for a movie you would not enjoy this movie. That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. With that said, you do not have to be religious to like this movie. I am not religious, but I loved the movie because I enjoy movies if they are well made with a setting of religion in the background. I would classify this movie more of a mystery/conspiricy than horror. The actors play this movie wonderfully, and the settings look like they are on site, not some hollywood studio. The only complaint would be that there is much more traffic/people in Rome in real life. Other than that, is was visually enjoyable.
The story itself has more than one twist and turn. All of which gave you a sense of learning from the start of the moive. It gave you a feel like you were part of the inside of the catholic machine, not a viewer from the outside. This was really well done. I highly reccomend this film. I wish there was a book to this to go even more indepth, or a line of sequals to it. Sorry if this review was a bit general, but that was on purpose to avoid any spoilers for those who have not watched it yet.
Movie Review: The Order is a must see!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, if you think Heath Ledger is even somewhat cute, you have to see this movie because he is sexy! Yes, I know, liking the priest. This movie was so diverse in that it could be an any catagory besides maybe western. I don't know exactly what Brian was trying to get across in this movie, it was sooo much different than his work in A Knight's Tale!! But it seems to me that Brian likes to tell stories and likes to take history and make some story based on the history he's learned about it. In this case, it comes from the story of the sin eater. The movie was originally called "The Sin Eater" but probably because of promotional reasons it was called "The Order" this is a movie that you really have to think for yourself about, most people liked it or hated it, so watch it and see for yourself, I don't believe you will be sooo disappointed however, because of the amazing cast.Movie Review: One of 2003's best thrillers!
Summary: 4 Stars
Brian Helgeland ("L.A. Confidential," "Mystic River") delivers a gothic, mature, and scary as hell horror film in the form of "The Order," which tells the story of Alex Bernier (Heath Ledger), a rebel priest who, along with a friend and a troubled artist, searches for answers to who is the culprit behind a string of mystical and gruesome murders. This investigation leads the audience through a dark world of demons and cults and I enjoyed every minute of it, from the deep and sublime screenplay writing to the dark and spooky atmosphere. The performances are top-notch, also, especially from Heath Ledger, whom you'll remember from "The Patriot," where he played Mel Gibson's cocky warrior son. If you're looking for a scary, and intelligent, horror film, give "The Order" a shot! When you're afraid to turn the lights off that night, you'll think of me. Uh-oh. :)Movie Review: Disturbing, Dark, and depressing...yet unique, intense, and Supernatural.
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw this at a theater, and walked out thinking, "WTF?!" The movie was even more intense on the big screen. Yet I eventually bought the film, and I've watched it on DVD a few times.
Despite the dreary, dark, and depressing aspects of the movie, I like the premise of the film. I also very much see "The Dark Pope" as a possibility, since the history of The Church is one of Conversion at Sword point. The premise is solid, but the pace is slow at times. I would give The Order five stars if it picked up the pace a bit.
In summary, after my initial reaction, I have come to appreciate this movie. I recommend it.
Movie Review: The sin eater
Summary: 4 Stars
I personally think this movie had an excellent plot; I have to admit that when I saw the previews it seems like a wonderful film, despite that, the movie was not very good, it seems at times that there were characters without a real purpose in it, like the two children, days after seeing the movie I still could not understand their meaning.The acting was not all that great, it was ok. I will say that this movie had all the potential of being a good one. The plot about the SIN EATER was so creative that left me craving for more. I truly believe that "The order" could have being much better if they just had treated it in a different way.
