    The Wicker Man

    Reviewed by

    The definition given of a '7' rating is this: 'Good movie, worth seeing'. And that's how I feel about this film. It has an original feel and atmosphere about it, a couple of surprises, and an ending that's not half as predictable as people are saying, though I'll admit it wasn't a shocker... just enough to make you say 'well look at that... that's a twist'. Only thinking about it afterwards does the ending make sense. During most of the movie, you're frowning because you're in this guy's shoes and nothing makes perfect sense... only a little sense. That's because you're meant to sympathise with the main character but also with other characters, who are very different from him and do not come with baggage that's remotely similar to his. His background and mindframe are more accessible to the common person and so the audience tends to feel mildly confused throughout the movie as they will him to solve the mystery. I understand how that can feel frustrating but I think movies are better when they're somewhat interactive. Overall, not an thrillingly suspenseful hour and a half but not simplistic or dull, either. So if this sounds reasonable to you and/or if you have interest in paganism and nature (environmental and human), I say go see it.
