Watch the movie Priest 2011 online free at our website. Priest is one of the biggest 2011 animation blockbusters produced and has grossed over 40 million dollars in revenue in just under 2 weeks according to imdb.com. Based on Hyung Min-Woo Korean graphic novel, Watch Priest Online as it is set in a world where humans and vampires were at war. Realising that they were loosing, the humans invested in training up an elite group of warriors who could combat the vampires and turn the battle in their favour.
Interesting really since the original comic did not involve vampires but rather fallen angels and daemons hence why the name of this film doesn’t completely fit the content. The church decides to watch the priest 2011 online that after the war is won they no longer need their crack team of assassins and so fearing what they could do, they are disbanded and sent away to live normal lives with the authorities and society shunning them and watch movies online free. (I got the impression this was at least in part attempting to parallel modern day war veterans but it was a theme that was only briefly passed over.)
When the Priest (Paul Bettany) finds out his family have been attacked by vampires and his niece (Lily Collins) taken, he goes against the word of the church and teams up with his nieces boyfriend Hicks (Cam Gigandet), the local sheriff to get her back. The film Priest also didn’t know what direction it was heading in. By this I mean that it amalgamated a western theme with horror and action and a slight attempt at romance and threw it into a Mad Max post-apocalyptic type world.
Finally, you like me may be surprised to find that it’s only a 12A rating. If I ever saw some of the stuff in this film when I was younger than 12 I wouldn’t have slept for weeks but then maybe the kids today are made of harder stuff!
So I was not the biggest fan of this movie and I have a feeling that I will not be the only one. If it wasn’t for the cross shaped tattoo across his forehead, I would have had trouble distinguishing Bettany from his role in this and the equally disappointing Legion. One word sums this up and that word is rubbish.
Everything about this film screams “Cliche!” from the bleached-out post-apocalyptic camerawork to the ubiquitous long coats. It’s the Wild West with Batman-style gadgetry, and while there are clever nods to both genres, the result is so contrived that we never buy into the story. It doesn’t help that the stunts are so heavily digitised that the fights never look remotely real. Mortals thrown from 100mph trains simply brush off the dust and rejoin the carnage while eyeless vampires bound around like slobbering, toothy Spider-men.
