Fantastic!
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie started off as being something entertaining to watch late at night. until the "pew pew" and "uaarghh" etc. Shame I'm not a teenager anymore :(How could it of reached a 10? i don't know but maybe it could of if it did it. Sometime these sort of thing happen in the movie business.. Directors are brain wash into thinking the public want to watch this sort of thing - just on the basis of feeling trendy they go forward and create films such as this.I think many people died during the filming of this film.
Yep definite plot spoilers.OMG This film, put simply... Rocked.From casting decisions (Yay to whom ever cast Steven Straight, he was simply born for the role!) to story-line I had fun all the way. OH and the Lighting! I never comment on lighting because to me, that's a background thing I never care to comment on, but damn the Covenant did really well! Every single scene I just loved the dark lighting, it was perfect.I started watching this film seeing nothing more than a poster (which is not normal for me as normally I see a trailer or 2) and right from the get go (when they drove the car over the cliff to get away from the cops) I was hooked! I found myself screaming with glee watching the car go over the cliff he he.The CGI was awesome, from the black-eyes to the execution of powers. OK so Sarah was a little blah, but I can understand why they needed her (not to discredit the actress, I was just personally hoping her character would get powers too).The final fight scene totally kicked ass. I loved the entire scene! The only thing that Im really really stuck on is how there is no sequel to this film. Regardless of if you loved it or hated it, the film left open ended as no one knows exactly what happened to Chase. So I feel let down that that specific loose end was never tied up. If anything they should have just left the firemen scene out of the film altogether and just gone from Sarah waking up - to driving off and fixing the windows of the car. But again I just want to say how much I loved this film! I could watch it 100 times a year and still not be sick of it. Were the guys hot? Yes. But was that why I loved it? No. I genuinely loved the whole magical storyline! Well done Renny Harlin 10/10
The Covenant movie was like every other urban legend movie that was made before. It had its mystic creature's (in this case male witches). There was the hot damsel in distress (Laura Ramsey), and it had the lost mystic group member that went stray, now he returned to make trouble.Like every other teenage movie it had a lot of pretty boys and girls actually there were only 1.5 hot girls (the blond was a looker while the other one was nothing special). Those boys and girls supposed to be college students but all they do is party all night, swim in their college team, use their powers to show off, fight between themselves and try to stay awake during their classes. That is strange, from what I remember of my college years I had to work really hard and I didn't had a spare minute to waste. I guess the boys and girls from The Covenant are gifted and everything comes easy for them.The acting from most of the participants was OK, the Covenant's cast has nothing to brag about, their performance was tolerable.The action and special effects were below average. The guys through invisible balls that supposedly blew up and caused fires, they could do so much better than that. Is it so hard to create a fire ball in CGI or make them through huge stones. Everything is better than an invisible ball of jellyfish they used all the time.Although the special effects sucked in the Covenant, the visual scenes and the way the movie was shot was very well done. Renny Harlin managed to bring classic Europe to The Covenant. The castles with the beautiful landscapes made the viewing experience better than expected.Overall this movie was average. I didn't follow most of the plot because when i was watching the movie i was exhausted from a long day at work, i was on neutral smeared on my chair. The only reason that the covenant can be considered as a cool movie is the fact that I wasn't my 100% watching it. If you are really tired (like i was) or really drunk like i wished to be, you will enjoy the Covenant.for more cool review check out - http://www.coolreviewsrule.com
So I watched this film after finding it by browsing around on IMDb. I'm really glad I decided to watch it! I wouldn't say it's the best film in the world, but I certainly enjoyed it. It is a typical teen/young adult film and therefore is aimed at this audience. I would recommend people to watch it but only those who enjoy these films that are aimed at this particular audience. If you are looking for a full, action packed supernatural film then you would be disappointed as you only get a bit of it. Yes, it is supernatural but there is not much action which I personally think would have made it a much better film.It obviously wasn't a huge blockbuster film (as many of the films I watch tend not to be), and therefore those looking for big Hollywood top rated films should stay away from The Covenant film.My main disappointment with this film was the ending. The ending is left on a cliffhanger and there should be a second film to follow I think. However, there is no second film so we never get to have the story finished which I would have liked to have seen.One thing for the girls – the guys in this film are seriously HOT.So, watch the trailer and if you think it looks like you could enjoy it then go for it!
