Leave your thoughts about Solomon Kane.
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe script by director Michael J. Bassett wallows in formula and takes itself too seriously. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonFormulaic, but it settles down into a fine if square-jawed groove, delivering rousing adventure of a sort which should generally please fans of throwback, morally black-and-white entertainment. |
| Boston PhoenixBrett MichelWriter/director Michael J. Bassett stages the carnage under so much rain-soaked filth, you can almost smell the stench. It's a good stench. |
| Time OutNigel FloydA monstrously entertaining action-adventure... the film's epic vision bears comparison with the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, its imaginative supernatural elements confidently fused with a savage reality. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggBassett brings to the screen Solomon Kane...with all due seriousness and gravity, as apparently befits the character. |
| SFX MagazineNick SetchfieldAn effective slice of occult high adventure, a sombre swashbuckler that pays its pulp source material a flinty, tight-lipped respect. |
| The PlaylistMark ZhuravsyIt's not everyone cup of bloody tea, but an unapologetic genre treat for those willing to dive in. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterBoth the movie and the hero are too relentlessly dour. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an exciting initial entry in what could (and should) be an ongoing series. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA well-shot, competently realized, and surprisingly entertaining mash-up of 16th century "wizards and warriors" and devil-may-care monster mayhem. |
