Discuss The Wicker Man

Many years ago I've seen The Wicker Man remake from 2006 with Nicolas Cage, which is a legendary bad movie but so bad it turns to be one of the best unintentional comedies ever. I laughed out loud during that entire movie!

I always heard and suspectec that since it was a remake of an original horror-esque movie that the original movie was massively superior.

Well I've finally seen the original movie (the Final Cut version) and I was shocked how poor it is. In fact, I rated the 2006 version a 3/10 (10/10 as entertaining and comedic factors) but now I rate the original movie a 4/10...

The original movie is boring, rather uninteresting, the acting is ridiculous, the characters are as ridiculous, the dialogue is stupid, the pace is rather slow.

The only saving graces are Christopher Lee (yet it's his worst villain role ever) and the soundtrack and music.

I really wanted to like this movie but I'm shocked how this gets high reviews and it's considered a classic.

The cop begins as a normal cop doing his job and then turns into a religious freak who starts caring more about religion instead of trying to do his own job.

All characters who interact with him have laughable interactions and the blonde girl Willow always appearing naked while dancing and the cop being sweating was so pathetic, so out of place, it made me stop taking seriously anything further that was happening onscreen.

And Christopher Lee's character then starts dressing like a woman, dancing and chanting gibberish was supposed to make us not taking him seriously at all as well...?

And the "twist" was hysterical! By the way: how in the bloody hell did that community even knew the cop was a virgin??? HOW??? Awful writing!

What a HUGE disappointment!

How the hell do you put smiles like that?!

Do you have a Windows OS? If so, just press the windows key & the period key at the same time & the emoji menu will pop up.

I know how to put smiles. The problem is that the number of smiles options it appears to me is nothing compared to what many people are able to put here.

Do you have Windows? Are you accessing the site from a smartphone or a desktop? Also, what country are you in?

I access from both. I'm from Portugal.

Você achou! Viva!

Isso é Português Brasileiro! LOL!

Sorry! I tried two or three translation programs & they all came up with my original post. This time I searched for Portuguese (European) & came up with this:

Encontrou-o! Viva!

Now that's much better! dart
