Priest 2011

The War is Eternal.
His Mission is Just the Beginning.

Priests,Vampires, Paul Bettany, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, what could go wrong?

Well, pretty much everything.

Basically, in some alternate universe vampires have always existed alongside humans in a constant battle for domination. The humans eventually build some impregnable walls around their cities and somehow jailed most of the vampire population with the help of an army of ninja priests.

Now, because I completely love Paul Bettany and most vampire movies, I decided to give this movie a chance. It looks pretty great first of all, the landscapes and CGI are really well done. The acting was alright, but it's really hard to get past the sucky script and storyline. Also, Paul was trying out his Batman voice for this role, without much success.

I like the concept, but the execution didn't really follow through.

4/10 Mostly because of what it looks like
