June 13, 2009"This is a story whose chapters were carefully written," says Ellen Burstyn's Sister Summersisle, toward the end of the film. I beg to differ; the plot is a bloody mess!

July 22, 2008And I thought the original was absurd . . . The Wicker Man 2006 is absolutely terrible, an embarrassment to the original movie that's only entertaining if you can find a bunch of people to mock it with. Somehow, those random musical numbers are sorely amiss.

June 2, 2007i was hoping something good would come along towards the end, but nothing really happened. i could've walked out of the movie theater. was really a waste of talent.
i really liked nicholas cage and i dont understand why he did this movie. -
April 23, 2007Come on...how can you not think it was a load of crap? Nicholas Cage punches a woman to steal a bear suit, punches another woman to escape with the bear suit, then punches another woman WEARING the bear suit. There was no excuse for how terrible this film was.
