      Priest---It's A Very Ordinary Movie

      I ran to PB and watched the current version online. What is it called? Early access or theatrical version? There are not many actors in the world who can make me take the initiative to watch new films without minding the quality of the plot. Although PB has put on a cape and hood to play church people more than once or twice (see "Reckoning" and "The Da Vinci Code"), the appearance this time is still the...

      western cowboy vs vampire

      If the title of this film is changed to "Western Cowboys vs. Vampires", it is estimated that more people will buy tickets to watch it.

      The content of the film is very cliché. The daughter of a vampire hunter is captured by vampires, and the hunter chases and kills vampires all the way with guns and horses. But in the journey, in addition to dealing with the evil vampires, he also has to beware of the elbows of the insiders.

      Watching this film is actually watching MaggieQ....

      in the name of an engineer

      The motorcycle in the movie is impossible.

      In the movie, they use solar energy to charge, and then run more than 200 miles, the power is not an order of magnitude. For high-speed moving objects, air resistance must be overcome when cruising. For motorcycles that are not streamlined, the power cannot be solved by solar energy alone.

      Moreover, the motorcycle uses a turbo engine, and it is inefficient to convert electrical energy into heat energy

      . We see that the...

      Although the plot is old-fashioned, it's not as bad as you said

      Priest seems to be based on comics, which gives me the feeling of a B-grade movie. After all, flesh and blood, most audiences can't accept it, and the background is set to be an earth that will be destroyed by vampires. Priest is here to save The earth, coupled with the scene of barren vegetation, the dark city that is a bit unacceptable is actually the last refuge of human beings, so it seems a little unlikely that most audiences will like it. I also agree with this point. After all, in...

      so bad

      Just finished watching. Going for MQ, people are obviously a lot older, hehe, I really can't find anything to watch. The legendary bad movie, or I can't appreciate it. The motorcycle inside is very cool, like the one in Final Fantasy. The whole movie looks like a post-era soundscape, but when the train carrying the vampires passes by the station, there is a staff member carrying an oil lamp to watch it. There is no way to evaluate such a scene. Then people began to confess to the electronic...

      The wonderful parts are all finished in the trailer. Basically, it's not bad, but it's not good-looking. It feels like the director has nothing to say and doesn't know what to do...

    "Priest" is short and concise as a whole, with concise and clear content, without sprawling narratives, and a relaxed rhythm. The creation incorporates elements of various Hollywood genres, a mixture of various classic genres of science fiction, horror, action, adventure, and western films. Combine various elements cleverly and seamlessly. Visually, "Priest" shows a dark apocalyptic style with unique characteristics. Many scene visuals...

    Movie quotes

    • Hicks: [after Priest explained that Hicks should anticipate a vampire's move, he had to learn how to see their movement from Point A to Point B. And Hicks was apparently learning because he just, finally, shot a vampire] Point A? Meet point fucking B.

    • Black Hat: [With an evil smirk] After all, if you're not committing sin... you're not having fun.

    • Priest: [Hicks has finally grown a pair and saves Priest's life] You would have made a good priest.

      Hicks: Thanks!

      Priest: [Small pause] Don't let it go to your head!
