Priest - Good Bad Flicks 

:)

I'm a ginger and I know i have a soul...Well, I did until I sold it to Satan. (JK)

It's definitely good but original? Eh... I dunno. I was immediately reminded of Warhammer 40k when it got to the part telling the audience that the church is the central oppressive government

Warhammer 40K is heavily influenced by much of Tolkien's works, and real world history had the church as the central oppressive authority for hundreds of years. So that's not quite a fair comparison. Priest is very much a cyberpunk inspired movie with heavy influences from a ton of other material, but it's no more or less original than most everything else. Everything comes from something, as one would be hard pressed to come up with something completely new, and most things are just twists of something already there into something else. Sadly, that twisting mostly just happens with remakes and reboots, and they don't even seem to aspire to be new or unique. That's one of the many reasons why Priest shines as something original.

Karl Urban played Blackhat and the only other roles which he did better are Dr. McCoy in the Star Trek reboots and, of course, Judge Dredd. He's been good in almost everything he's been in though.

Blech. Enough sequels! I liked this movie too but I'm fucking sick of sequels and remakes!

@Wraithic Artistry My bad, although I haven't seen LOTR or Bourne Supremacy yet, & I don't know when or if I will. I should have thought to include Vaako btw

They do all the Hitman castings on opposite day.

Where was gondor when the westfold fell ?

That's a sin *ding*

maxwell Honack if you still talk to him (or her) tell them they did a great job.

Thats cool they nailed it!!

Urban had mentioned a sequel possibly in the works, I hope it does

I heard they're doing a Mega City One TV Series.

Hey, Legolas did the same thing in The Hobbit!

I'm glad we seem to be past the Twilight phase and are returning to badass vampires again

The Vampire Diaries was way better than any of the twilight films IMHO. They at least had a fair amount of human-slaughtering bad-assery to even out the soul-crushing mush (which they didn't rely on nearly as much, either)

I'd just like vampires to be interesting creatures, they don't necessarily need to be brutal or pansies. It honestly bores me almost as much to have that same "CHECK OUT THIS EVIL MONSTER WE'RE GONNA SET ON FIRE" trope. If a vampire is intelligent/sentient, why should it just be a murder machine? I really liked how they were portrayed in the Witcher lore. You had your ferals, you had your Machiavellian vampires, and then you had your benevolent vampires. They were all intelligent predators who possessed different outlooks on their relationships with humans.

Jedd Jong do you want people to get alcohol poisoning!

GoodBadFlicks YES!

GoodBadFlicks that wood be awesome but I'm a minor so no alcohol for me 😢

I didn't think I'd see you here

I think it's more like comparing guyver the manga to the live action guyver 2 dark hero they're meant to be two different takes of the same story it's not perfect but it's a good if flawed movie on it's own. So in a way it's kinda like comparing apples and oranges.. well if you squint yours eyes a little even tho priest still is kind of a meh mediocre movie that's kinda flawed but also enjoyable in some small parts.

clairvoyantPastry Thanks! While the movie isn't perfect, its a pretty darn good time. It doesn't follow the original series at all, aside from some of the names, but it is its own cool world. I wish they would have made another. Who knows though? I never expected Legion to get a TV series!

Isaac Langan maybe one day they will do an adaptation of the comic rather than a reinterpretation

YES! we can only hope

GoodBadFlicks hahahahahahahaha not in this America sadly. dream theater did a kick ass song based on it though

warhammer 40 000

Nothing is better than Warhammer 40k

priest is definitely bad. in a good way...

I loved Priest. I've watched it several times and it just keeps being amazing!

that movie was shit.

I thought I was the only one who outright loved Priest. Good to know there are others like me!

There will always be fools who love crappy movies.

TheReal008Zulu that's because this movie was nothing like the material they claim the movie was inspired from. If you read the Manga Priest...u will understand why this movie failed hard.

I had the BEST time binge watching his series. the amount of detail he goes into during the reviews definitely sets him apart from other movie critics. I am always amazed when I watch his videos that doesn't have more subscribers.

Yeah, I see people that don't put half the effort he does and have way more subscribers!!

ichigofluff666 I'll check them out thanks!

Corcaigh Rebel thanks!

i think you have sparked an intrest in this movie good reveiw

Yeah, he does good work for a fucking thief.

The fuck are you on about?

ZyxthePest Samurai Jack was completely ripped off of Frank Miller's graphic novel, Ronin. Go read it and then look at an episode and you'll wonder too why he wasn't sued for every penny he has.

Except the part where Gendy openly called Ronin a massive influence on the series and said he's been a fan of Miller's for years. You're an idiot.

ZyxthePest There's a difference between being an influence and outright theft, and he' a fucking thief, so fuck off.

Thanks! I think what I was trying to say is there was no forced comedic relief. Like if they would have made Priest have a wisecrackin' sidekick or something. A shame this did so poorly, I think they did a good job of world building and there was plenty of room for future installments.

HellFirecz thanks!

Yeah I somewhat agree even both have the same actor in each one and all stem from religious subjects
