I truly have been looking forward to this for almost 2 years now. Primarily because a very good friend of mine is playing the role of Telford in this film. Here's hoping it works Phil!

Fact 6: Solomon Kane has nothing to do with Solomon Grundy.

If this film is as it describes as being 'bloody and gory' then this might be worth checking out!!

Well, my idea for filming doesn't include mutilating and profaning of a dead animal's body. :-/ Ok, I love steaks but that's all. And what's with the comparision between Solomon and Bond?!
As for the plot - really nothing special. Besides the film is all about sword-figthing witch is good, but to watch it more than an hour might get a liiiiittle boring...

Not sure about this one.

Is it just me, or is today crap on Robert E. Howard day at RT?

Robert E. Howard was the great sword and sorcery writer ever. Solomon Kane is gonna kick some.

We have been waiting for this film as well, as my son plays young Solomon.

James Purefoy was very nice to him.

I didn't know this was already finished, much less close to release. I haven't seen much on it, but it looks interesting.

Me Solomon Grundy am offended wasn't offered lead role in movie.

shut your hole, De A Twist. at least the people who made this are passionate about it, and are indeed inspired by REH's works.

go back to gathering tampered data and allowing all your little calculations of percentages of tomatoes to dictate what you support and don't support.

Alexson Philip on 02-18-2010 03:20 AM

thundermammoth,

chill,k. like i was not criticising the film in any way, i was just sayin the reality of it. Cuz if a film is starting off with a 60% by critics then we all know that its gonna go down even more. look at shutter islands 100% that went down to 71%. so ye.

The lemonade diet Cleanserotten tomatoes is a gud place to visit for the movies reviews!!

Like it, nice.

Budd c. on 05-26-2010 04:31 PM

Seen it! awesomely cool! Howard would be pleased.

Dawn E. on 06-16-2010 07:37 AM

I am really excited about this. I have been waiting for it to come out forever, it seems(I live in the USA). The story is pretty good...much better than much of what has come out recently...especially this year. Plus, James Purefoy is a very talented and handsome actor. And Rachel Hurd-Wood is also crazy talented...especially to be so young. I don't care about the director's track record....that could change at any minute...with the right script, cast, ect...

Still no news about a Solomon Kane 2, it's crazy the film was a massive hit all over the world except, maybe, the states where if it ain't Hollywood it doesn't even make the cinemas let alone good reviews. James Purefoy was terrific and Michael Bassett directed with great style, where are they now ? Michael Bassett directing some crappy horror sequels and James Purefoy back supporting cast. Still I would love to see Solomon Kane adventures in Africa and Purefoy back in it. For charisma and performance I would compare Purefoy to Viggo Mortensen as Aragon in Lord of the Rings.
