Solomon Kane (2009)

My TV is capable of displaying tens of millions of colours. SK made use of about 10% of them. It’s a colour-drained bore in which even the grass is gray.
The characters are just as limited. Kane is a charisma-vacuum. Admittedly, having a soul that’s damned and fearing the reaper will reap your ass at any time would put a dampener on life, but did the gloom have to be passed so completely onto the viewer? It also rains a lot. It’s set in England, so I suppose they should get credit for showing that side of it.
The reliance on CGI only serves to increase the sense that nothing is real, except the feeling that we all want the misery to end.
