Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

magdi-dawood I can't understand why all this negativity in some reviews, first of all Cage did an acceptable role, beside Ron,and the others But, when it comes to Claire Foy, she did a remarkable performance, every scene she did was a exceptional one from my point of view, remember that Claire wasn't famous then or nominated to any award, the sound track was very good, the locations, cgi were not that good,directing isn't that great however I believe he tried and any idiot will figure out that the budget wasn't helpful, anyways the movie is pop corn movie, don't expect Got, or LOT, I could tell why the movie didn't get fair rating or critics, lot of people can't accept the truth of the church and the power of pope then and now lol Anyways I must say it doesn't worth more than 6/10 but I gave it extra star for Claire got performance

Wuchak RELEASED IN EARLY 2011 and directed by Dominic Sena, "Season of the Witch" chronicles events when two ex-Teutonic Knight crusaders (Nicolas Cage & Ron Pearlman) traveling through Styria in modern-day Austria are enlisted to escort an alleged witch suspected of causing the black death (Claire Foy) to a remote monastery in the mountains for trial and to hopefully stop the devastating plague. Stephen Campbell Moore (Debelzaq), Stephen Graham (Hagamar) and Robert Sheehan (Kay) accompany the Knights. This is basically the American version of "Black Death," a European film released around the same time. Both movies are dark, gritty and brutal in their depictions of Medieval Europe, but "Season of the Witch" is more of a stereotypical blockbuster with modish protagonists, amusing one-liners and CGI-laden climax. "Black Death" is deeper, more thought-provoking and realistic, which is why I give it the edge in overall value (see my review). "Season" is the more conventionally entertaining movie and anyone who appreciates Dark Ages-based flicks are highly encouraged to check it out. Films which come to mind include "In the Name of the Rose" (1986), "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005), "Robin Hood" (2010), "Ironclad" (2011), "King Arthur" (2004), "Dragonslayer" (1981), "Red Riding Hood" (2011), "Tristan + Isolde" (2006) and "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" (1991). It's as good, or better, than any of these.The Medieval cinematography (castles, dungeons, villages, dark forests and breathtaking mountains) is mind-blowing and the two protagonists are great with their amusing rapport. Furthermore, Foy is easy-on-the-eyes. Look out for a thrilling rope-bridge crossing a la "Sorcerer" (1977). Although the climax is over-the-top cartoony, the tone up to that point is quasi-realistic. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 35 minutes and was shot in Austria, Hungary and Croatia with reshoots done in Louisiana. WRITERS: Bragi F. Schut. ADDITIONAL CAST: Christopher Lee is almost unrecognizable as the plague-ridden Cardinal D'Ambroise. GRADE: A-/B+

Rainey Dawn I don't find this a horrible film - it's quite entertaining in it's way. Really good casting, fairly interesting story, CGI not over done, beautiful costuming and sets and a small but important role for Christopher Lee.If you like medieval themes, knights/crusaders and witches then give Season of the Witch a whirl. It's not the best film in the world but it's a pretty good watch. I like the film.I acquired this movie in a film pack - glad I got it! I know I'll watch this film again in the future! 7.5/10

nando1301-1 Talk about bad... This one is so bad that even as a popcorn movie it's not worth a penny!The CGI is worse than in a reasonable video game; the sets are so awfully done that it's laughable... to say the least. The plot? When I played cops and robbers with my friends at age seven we had better ones.Really, to see this kind of crap is only justified in order to appreciate good movies by contrast. A lot of films these days are geared for teen agers and not adults; but this one is an insult to teen-agers, it's impressive for a six year-old at best. If you all you want is to be entertained, that's fine... but this is so badly done that it is only entertaining as a joke; it makes Lord of the Rings seem like an art film.Cage has done a lot of awful pics (and just a couple of good ones); this has got to be one of his worst. Bad acting, production values lower than a tram rail, a script so bad that it makes you ashamed to watch (let alone the guys who wrote it)... This is what gives Hollywood productions a bad name. A waste of time.
