      Solomon Kane

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Solomon Kane's formulaic and bleak narrative is overcome by an entertaining, straightforward adherence to its genre, exciting gore, and a gratifying lead performance by James Purefoy.

      L L Sooooo bad, weak to none existent story poorly shoehorned into a butchered historical context, characters were cardboard cut outs, fight scenes were ok at best, only good if you want to see bad swashbuckling. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review SUPERVOID 7 1\10 - Good costumes, charismatic main hero and strong dark atmosphere of the world, good landscape shots, but stupid pale plot and badly montaged action scenes with too many fast cuts and bad fight choreography. Movie had an ambition to be great and special, but it just doesn't work. :( Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Anderson O Strong performance by James as Solomon Kane, solid musical score, well paced, good plot twist and a startling revelation near its climax. Solomon Kane is a greatly adapted work of Robert E. Howard's creation, aged superbly well, and will stand then test of time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Rmy L This film is a gem. So underrated... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review James S Severely underrated, an enjoyable film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Nik75 J They spent 40 million making it and it does show on the screen. It bogs down with reliance on blood and gore and some cliché slow motion violent sequences, but the potential is there for a good series. Certainly a watchable movie.

      Lou Lumenick New York Post Been there, done that. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times "Solomon Kane" succeeds by embracing its identity as a straightforward genre exercise, complete with bone-crunching and blood-spurting action. By not aiming for more, it hits its target. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Mark Feeney Boston Globe Who knew there were skinhead and zombie equivalents in late-Elizabethan England? Rated: 1/4 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...action is ferocious and bloody, but light on CGI...the film looks spectacular without over-doing the fantasy worlds... Rated: 4/5 Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins All the positive qualities are wasted on the overdramatic twist of the commonplace antihero who must reluctantly return to the darkness of his past. Rated: 3/10 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Solomon Kane seduces with stunning visuals, sweeping swordplay and one sexy leading man.
