A serious contender to the tittle of worst film ever. Rancid ridiculous script, poor acting and hilarious special effects.

Season of the Witch (2011): Dir: Dominic Sena / Cast: Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell Moore, Claire Foy, Christopher Lee: Misfire medieval mess about trials. It opens with about a million battles scenes before two knights, played by Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman have had enough of women and children dying. Eventually they are assigned to transport a witch to a monastery in order have her tried by the monks. She is blamed for the black plague that has been sweeping the land. Directed by Dominic Sena who previously made Kalifornia as well as direct Cage in the pathetic Gone in Sixty Seconds. He is backed with effective visual elements of castles and winged creatures but his actors are at the mercy of lame writing. Cage and Perlman as this buddy knight duo is laughable. They will trek this witch in a cage while allowing her to screw with their brains. They are joined by some young sap who wishes to prove himself, as well as a Priest whom the witch fears. Then there is Claire Foy cast as "The Woman." She is blamed for the plague and will spend much of the film locked up before she becomes a giant winged creature with all the intimidation of a Care Bear on acid. She is also involved in a lame "I need to know about these men who died for me" sequence in the conclusion that is just lame. Christopher Lee makes an appearance to which one hopes he was paid really well for such an embarrassment. If you thought The Sorcerer's Apprentice was a stupid career move then Cage double bills it with a film that should never be seen by anyone at any season. Score: 3 / 10

This movie feels a little cursed, for no visible reason. Correction: no reason other than Nicolas Cage.People give this movie so much bull, and it seems like most people didn't watch it and said, "It sucks because Nicolas Cage" I know Cage is in too many movies, but he's not a terrible actor. Actually, he's pretty good in some films. Just a bit overused. That is not a reason to hate on every movie with him in it.So, with that out of the way, I get to tell you why I like this movie.It has a good story, a good cast, good acting, great special effects for a movie that's a few years old, good action, a good musical score, all leading up to a terrible ending.And this is an "everybody dies" movie. XP The movie's ending is so terrible, it leaves you not wanting to watch it again. But, and this is a huge but, that does not mean the movie within it's self is bad. The final battle, is pretty cool. One of the guys you love to hate who fights on the good side dies in an honorable way (but gruesome) Another problem, is that it's too gritty. Blood comes flying at you and you're like, what?Good special effects, mean aaaamaaazingly awesome special effects, on level with I, Frankenstein and Real Steel and maybe Transformers or District 9 or Man of Steel.So all in all, it's a good movie. I'm basically going on just memory, but let me just say, they went out of the box with the ending, and let's just say, he he, that this is an unforgettable ending. Even since I first watched it, I can't forget it's ending. For being such an entertaining sci-fi fantasy/action-horror, I give it a solid 7.5/10 including the ending. Without the ending, it's an 8.5/10. Just watch this movie, and forget all of the people who like to talk bad about Cage

This very American movie starts off rather interestingly but becomes more and more ridiculous set in the time of the black plague. 50% of the time we follow the "witch" in the rolling cage, lead by Nicholas Cage. After fighting "scary" wolves and an old tow bridge they eventually reach the monastery with dead priests. The finishing scene with the devils looks like an animation from 1930 and the plot is so way out it just makes you laugh. The batman-devil is killed by reading Latin from an old book. If You are an American born-again Christian this is definitely the movie for you. If not: Don't waste your time. This movie might easily have been made into a nice story without the Hollywood wilder wilder faster faster approach ("Police Academy 13").
