MOVIE: The Covenant

From the writers of the story about the battle between Vampires and Werewolves aka 'Lycans', Underworld, Covenant takes the story of Witches from the witch hunting days, and how that effects a group of relatives of the witches that were hunted.

As I watched the preview of the Covenant one time on the T.V. I was very intrigued with the action I thought it was going to be very interesting movie to watch. Boy could I be any more wrong, First off I really don't know the Witch back ground but I don't think John Putnam was a witch, I don't know maybe someone can give me some incite on this but I thought he was on accused of being a witch but never was proved in the trails, and John Putnam was a main story object that moved the story along.

Another thing I was not impressed in was that the story line was very confusing. Much like Underworld going into the film you have to know a lot about Werewolves and Vampires like what kills them/what can hurt them, but in this case you must know a lot about the Witch history from the Colonial settlements area, like Boston, Virgina around there. So like with some one like me during the film I was wondering what the hell was going on, or why were they doing this.

The fight Scenes, I was was laughing at and mad, First let me get this off my chest. If anyone knows what the men witches were throwing at each other, please tell me. Most film I would like to know what exactly was I looking at it seemed like Star Warsy like they way they could move objects and so forth. Back to my first part. The 'thing' they were throwing at was it a ball of energy, or was it their power, or what. I could have put a small description of what they were in the film.

Enough of the bad thing I can go on and on, I did think the visuals were great, I thought it was awesome when the car of the Main Character broke into a million pieces and came back together, or the hundreds of tiny killer spiders. Those were a great thing in this movie basically the only good thing.

The Acting on the other hand, was for me bad. I really don't know most of he actors or actresses from and big thing but, The bad and good guys for me just over acted, They brought too much of the same facial expressions every time they talked which good get real repetitive and ignoring.

I went to see this with a Friend, and most of the time we disagree on most films and have different view on the movie but this one we both had the same reviews of the picture, we thought it wasn't a picture we should have wasted money on, because there are some great film that are out in the theater that are much better like Little Miss Sunshine.
