SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

JessicaHill Let me start out by saying that this series started out okay. I thought as the episodes progressed the show got stupider and stupider, such as the everything's a dream bit. I can't say I cared too much for the cast minus Yancy Butler who I thought was fantastic and Anthony Cistaro who pulled off playing a cold, intelligent Nazi was brilliant. It's not that the rest of the cast was over the top bad. They just never got their chance to expand too heavily. Hopefully the film will be better. I hope they go with an all new cast.I also read about Eric Etebari's (who played Nottingham) film called "The Dreamless" which stars Eric Etebari, Anthony Cistaro, David Chokachi and Lazar Rockwood. Aside from starring as the lead actor, Eric is also producing. This seems far coincidental to me as it definitely seems like Eric is pulling all the strings on this film and got his buddies to act in it as well.

Humppe Made in 2000, Witchblade is a cheap TV-production trying to ride on the crest of the wave of comic book-related pictures.Shortly, the plot line is this: Bitter police woman chases down very, very evil man who killed her father with the help of Joan of Arc's magic glove, that works more or less like Neo combined with Robocop. Well, that's about all you need to know.Sadly, the film has very little to do with the actual comic book and you wonder how the publisher ever gave an OK to this script. It is predictable, flat, naive and seems conjured by a 14-year old boy."Starring" are a team of B-actors from the world of television. The role of police detective Sara Pezzini is played by Yancy Butler, who later went on to star in the disastrous TV-show of Witchblade, and has since been struggling for silver screen roles. Butler does the most of the horribly flat part, but it is not enough. A corny role like this requires an up yours-attitude and a wink towards the audience, and Butler simply does not deliver. Flanked by no-name TV personalities such as Anthony Cistaro and Conrad Dunn as a freakishly over acted bad guy she gets no help from her colleagues. Only Will Yun Lee as her partner has any craftsmanship as far as acting goes to offer.The FX are cheap and out of place, the Witchblade itself is a disastrous piece of prop and the fight scenes are awkward.One point comes from the fact that Yancy Butler actually does some effort to keep the film afloat, the second point is for some nice camera moves.

katclaws I cannot believe that TNT/TBS /WB blew it by cancelling Witchblade. This was a well-written thought provoking ORIGINAL dramatic series. Those of us who would rather not watch some of the new raunchy reality shows looked forward to something really different. The fans were left hanging with loose ends just waiting to be tied up by the promise of a 3rd Season. We, fans, have been trying to get other networks to pick it up such as Oxygen, Spike TV, Trio or anyone who would love to have a series with high ratings and a ready-made huge fanbase (international as well. We have a petition of approx. 15,500 signatures to bring the series back, but TPTB are just sitting on it and letting the fans down.At the very least fans would love is to see reruns or a DVD of season1 & 2.

TreborG2 This movie is a b flick, and its sole purpose was to set up the possibility for a series... don't doubt this for one moment...but.. look at its strengths1) based on a good character from comic book land 2) acting for newbies is a good as it could get 3) it tugs on the heart strings of us all...4) ok Yancy is ... well.. she captures attention... I'm a Sci-Fi fan... Farscape is STILL my number one show, Witchblade is second, in a very short list... its tops for non Sci-fi and non comedy in my book... A little bit more about my book..Sci-Fi is: Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eight Dimension, Doctor Who, Farscape, Star Trek (primarily The Next Generation)Comedy is: The Simpson's, SouthPark, Malcolm in the Middle, Family Guy, The Critic, CopsReality is: CopsWitchblade is: something else... I will definitely buy this IF and WHEN it comes out on DVD, and I WILL watch this series, so long as it keeps me engrossed like this movie did.If you are not sure, give it a try, you will probably be entertained; if not at least wishing YOU could be in control of a Witchblade.:)
