semlm,

tunggu Tb balik, sampai rumah almost half-past midnite

pastu layan vcd pulakk..

citer ni haa..

citer lawan2, evil sorcerer, org jahat bunuh org..kira rating ganas gak ler

hero dia sapa tah, aku tak kenal, some james purefoy yg kdg2 hensem, kdg2 mcm hero tua jek.. rasanya dia ni mmg byk belakon citer ganas2 jek..aha dia pun ada main dlm resident evil kalau tak silap le, tp yg mana satu jgn tanya dakuu.. dlm citer tu ku kenal mila sorg jek

jln citer?

biasa la bila bikin pilem based on watak katun (kot?) ke novel.. ala2 van helsing met conan. actually it came from the same writer of conan the barbarian, so expect lots of blood, head-cutting, blade splashing..

and as it sets in in old drk england back in 1600, where witches were hanged and burned, mud and dirts everywhere..

but personally, i kinda like the gloomy cinematography.. nicely done to match the storyline

the dialogue are basically okaayy.. (im not familiar with english accent tho) even tho at times they could be quite lame.. but its fogiven,, especially whenever they'r uttered when kane looks devilishly hensem to me haha

the story is about solomon kane, who ran away from home when he's very much a child, when father chose his elder brother to become the lord, and want to send him to the monastery instead. he fought because he thinks that, no, because he knew that marcus, his brother is not a nice man.

so he travelled around, and end up became sea captain who's after treasures and stop at nothing in order to get what he wants.. just because he has the physical powers to do so.

so he's done lots of bad and evil things, even to his own man.. until one day he met the Devil's reaper who came to claim his soul. only then he made known that somehow, his soul were promised to the devil for some reason he never know.

of course, as it happen at the very start of the movie, he fought the reaper and escape death

he then seek refugee at a monastry, repent himself and hiding behind every symbols so that devil's army could not find him. because the moment he did something evil, the death reaper will come to him

ye ye je kan??

until one day the top priest halau dia kuar (he actually were 'guided' by some dreams about kane) and says he's destiny is not there.. i remember he says ' the way to seek one's redemption will not necessarily be calm..'

Kane, not wanting to beg, pun kuarlah berjalan sorg diri.

masa berjalan tu ada la few villain come and hit him, but he refused to fight back.. he's salvaged by a good family, the Crowthorn, and he travel with them until the evil sorcerer's army caught them, kill the family and take their doter as hostage.

you see.. all the plots are actually choreographed by evil to lure him out.. they know he'l come for the girl, make him fight and kill again so that they can redeem his soul

but he make a pact with the Crowthorn before he died to save his daughter, and Crowthorn said his soul will be redeemed if he did so..

so apa lagi.. cargass la si kane ni pi cari the girl kan..

and he's directed back to his homeland - where he found out that marcus, whom he thought he (accidentaly) killed, is very much alive but has turned into the masked rider - the right hand man of the sorcerer himself.

and if i was not mistaken, it was his father who made the pact with the devil/sorcerer to save marcus by promising kane's soul..

ok lah to cut short, they end up lawan2, of course hero will win, at the end he killed both marcus and the sorcerer and hils soul were saved.. sebab the meredith girl is saved..

ending dia simple giler, esp part soul dia selamat tu

i was like ler.. tu je?? i mean, it supposed to be the peak of the film, sebab that's the utmost reason Kane is living his live all this while afterall..

watching this, i cuma nk komen sikit je

from the school of taught i came, ku rasa tak ikhlas sungguh dia dok repent selama ni.. like he did that just to avoid the devil/death whatever.. bukan sebab dia nyesal ke sebab nk betul2 kembali pada Tuhan..  i was taught that everything i do, must be 'Lillahi Taala..' buat kerana Allah Taala.. bukan sebab apa2, and if sebab lain2 mmg you wont get the 'redemption' kira sia2 je la..

remember the story about a man who fought alongside Nabi dlm perang apa tah.. turn out he actually pergi perang atas sebab assabiyah and nk defend the country and his people, bukannya kerana agama Allah.. he end up kena tikam and kerana tak tahan sakit, the story goes that he actually killed himself..

i know we dont want that.

but one thing i should have known..

not bad eh??
