The Order


Recommended Posts

i just got home from watching The Order. There were no reviews available on rottentomatoes.com, and the only review i could find anywhere else was from a test screening of the movie before the title was changed from "The Sin-Eater"(which would have been more fitting IMO) to The Order. That review was very negative and lowered my expectations significantly.

For me, the first 30 minutes or so were spent trying to figure out just what this movie was actually about. When i finally got the gist of it, it was a pretty cool concept. The movie did drag at times, with lots of sitting around and talking about catholic stuff. If you are catholic, maybe some of this dialogue will make more sense to you than it did me. The movie was not scary, it had a couple of moments that may make some people jump, but overall is not a horror movie.

My opinion of the movie changed as it progressed. At first i believed the review of the test screening, but near the end of the movie, i was captivated by the storyline and became more interested in a movie's plot than i have been since Terminator 3. When the story "ends" the movie ends. It does not drag out the ending, which made things even better. I give it 3 out of 4 stars. If you get the chance, go check this one out. I'm interested to hear what the rest of you think about it.

the score doesnt seem to fit your words, but apparantl it was pushed back, (therelease) a few times... and Gigli was too, I am wary to say the least.

the score is so high because of the 2nd half of the movie.. it really improved as it went on.. the score for me is based upon how i feel as im leaving the theater.. and as i left i thought it was a good film..

and yeah, i believe the release was pushed back 3 times from its original date.. i was also very hesitant, but wrongfully so

What scares me is you said it has the most engaging story since T3, but I'm still going to see it, especially since you liked it.

As long as someone likes it there's a chance I will and I've been looking forward to the movie. The Order, and Underworld both look cool to me.
